Oh What a Feeling ...

Lots of thoughts running through my head today ... I was SO happy to see J.J. at the doc's today ... she was SOOO cute, even as a fetus. I still think sometimes though that she has a big head LOL ... but it's the cutest big head I've ever seen! I was so worried about her, as I always am between doctor's appointments, just wanting to make sure she's doing ok, developing properly. So today when i saw her and she was sucking her little hand, it just touched my heart! Dae was freaked out about it ... "Her WHOLE hand? Why was she sucking her hand?" But me ... I thought it was the cutest thing EVER!

Got me to thinking about all the cute moments we'll have in life ... and THEN ... the not so cute. Like the first time she ever talks back to me (thinking i should leave that convo for an entirely different posting ... i have SOOO much to say about disciplining my child).

... but one thing's for certain. Her parents can't WAIT to meet her. :-) We love you J,J.

the Naming Game

Over the last several months, even when I FIRST revealed I was "with child," I've received many inquiries as to what the name of my "bundle of joy" would be. I never knew what to respond to these types of questions ... I always felt that naming a kid would be so much fun! AND SO easy! However, I just want to let everyone know ... this is probably one of THE biggest things I will ever do in life - besides give birth. After all, a person's name is what defines them ... right? Surely when you meet someone with the name Eclectic, you expect them to be so ... correct? Well, EVERYONE ... PLEASE give us time. We have NO freaking clue what name we want to stick this kid with for the REST of her life. Of course, I, like every other girl I know have agonized over this very thing for years and came up with a few we thought we'd "love" to name our child ... but NEWSFLASH: When you're actually pregnant ... it dawns on you that you probably don't really wanna name your kid after a water bottle, Dasani or a fabric, Diesheeki (LOL, the horror!) Right now until some mystical day, she will be ... the Kid, or J.J. as we still fondly refer to her.

AND if my good buddy Michael S. ever reads this ... PLEASE ... STOP calling the Kid, Shenequa and She-nee-nee, it's not very polite to get her used to a name i have NO intentions of calling her (haha).

That is ALL, thanks! AND hey, we don't mind your many inputs on what the name of our ONLY First-born daughter will be (unless of course i've asked for your input) ... but keep in mind, i can tell you FOR SURE, we probably won't be choosing your choice. But thanks, all are welcome! :-)

JJ stands for ... Va-jay-jay

Well, it's been some time since i visited the doctor that fateful day to find out the sex ... there were SO many things i've been wanting to say here on this blog, but i'm so extremely non-motivated during pregnancy. However, on August 5, 2010, Dadrian and I were SO excited to have our sono. We arrived EARLY ... sat in the waiting room for at least 30 mins. THEN, when i was called back i had the WORST sono-tech EVER! She was SO bizarre and the first thing she said to me was ... i've been having weirdo patients all day ... so being me, i said "Well i hope that stops with me" to which her reply, "I hope so too." Well, who knew that she was the weird one, she rarely discussed JJ ... which was our WHOLE reason for being there, she BARELY showed us the sono pics. A lot of the discussion included her venting about not wanting her kids to be around their dad who was dating a 22-year-old ... like i said. Weird.

In the end ... we found out that JJ stands for Vagina!! :-) It's a GIRL! Let the fun (YAY!) begin!
