Does anyone else's kid scream bloody murder while getting haircuts? Even if we're holding him, we try lollipops, YouTube videos to distract but it doesn't work. Today's haircut was the worst yet. :-S

@skleigh‌ : both kids act like they are being set ablaze when getting their hair trimmed. Very dramatic crying & fussing. :-??

PrimRoseMama

@ramy3‌ : I prefer Freya.

I have yet to take my kid for a haircut because lazy. She so needs it tho. The overgrown, string-straight mullet is getting a bit out of control.

I love Leah's hair! :x

@ramy3 I prefer Freya. That said, my grandmother's name was Violet and she had sisters named Viola and Lily (as well as non-florally named sisters lol) and I never found it odd.

Just saw your list. I love Thalia and Vera!

@andrea0418‌ this may be an UO, but I think it is very appropriate to take your H's opinion seriously regarding BF. That's marriage, to me. Ultimately, it's your body your choice. But I think it's also your responsibility to prove to your H why extended BF is the right thing to do. @Cfreymc‌ suggested some great articles. Perhaps you should also insist he accompany you to the 18m appt. If he isn't willing to discuss the topic and just wants you to quit b/c he wants you to quit, that sucks donkey dick.

>:D<

I was 100% open to the conversation when he brought it up months ago but he had no valid points or explanation as to why it would be weird after 18 months. He hasn't said anything negative or questioned me lately but I assume it will happen soon. I'll have the articles ready but I need more than "it's weird."

@ramy3‌ im on team flowery names. Violet or Rose would be bad ass.

Cora was on our list. Maybe that'd be a Cordelia compromise?

Hugs @Muirmaid‌ I hope the night goes okay

@andrea0418‌ I'm going to add that if your H wants a leg to stand on in this discussion that he needs to go to the 18 month appointment and at least hear the pedi out. I agree you definitely need more than him just feeling weirded out.

This evenings pregnancy craving consisted of wanting rice and pasta - so I just ate a whole box of rice-a-roni. And now I want to puke. Totally unrelated to anything going on in this thread right now lol.

that's the purpose of this thread! I often contaminate this thread with random thoughts unrelated to what anyone has said.

@ramy3 love Aureila! And I don't think flowery names would be weird.

I'm still kind of sad we never got to use our girl name: Elinor Mae and call her Ellie Mae

I like Like Cordelia but would have to pick Freya.

Rough night (please laugh at my crazy events)

Got to ILs, had awkward conversations about "emotionally disturbed" children, I got the shits..... Clogged the toilet..... Had to ask for a plunger because one wasn't in the bathroom. Then had to wait a long 5 minutes while mil found it and then had to unclog the toilet.


Wine!?! Chocolate!?!? More please!

stephyfaith

I like Freya Imogen

mrshudson618

Freya is better than Flora IMO. Flora is more old lady to me.

@beckyanddon‌ Elinor (or Eleanor) "Ellie" is our #1 if we get preggers and its a girl. I love Mae but its also my niece's middle name. We also like Jane, but that's my moms name and, no.

kmvw

@ramy3‌ I love Flora, one of my great grandmother's name was Flora and I really wanted to include it some way, but Dh wasn't having it.

Eleanor Jane was/is our girl name after my grandma and mom

@Byjove03‌ Elinor is DH's grandmothers name and Mae is my favorite aunts middle name.

Last family christmas is complete and I had a chocolate pb concrete from Culver's to recover. My mom is so rude and I have such a hard time being around her as it brings up so much from the past. At least it is done and over with. Tomorrow is a new day

@LauraB1016‌ Sorry about your crappy night. :

@ramy3‌ Freya is really nice, but I do love the floral theme, just don't love Flora. I love Rose

Elinor is my favorite spelling too :x are you a Jane Austen fan?

I am But I am also an Eleanor Roosevelt fan!

Here's the rest of our girl list:

Freya

Flora

Juniper (I'd use it in an instant, but DH is totally against it)

Thea

Thalia

Vera (used to be our top name, but Freya won out)

Aurelia (most recent addition)

Aurelia used to be my #1 (Love Actually!),  but DH is not a fan. I managed to talk him into my second favorite so I'm not budging now.

Oh snap @cfreymc can we still be friends?

@N0702 : dude, kids are weird. Could be that just disturbing her routine made her flip. It likely has nothing to do with them as people. They don't need to make it personal. :-??

@stacey099 : hugs! Enjoy your concrete mixer! Family stuff can be intense.

MRads

@ramy3‌, I absolutely love Penelope, nn Poppy! And Aurelia is one of my favorites! I tried to convince H to consider Aurora Nn Rory, but he wouldn't, which is probably just as well, because that would be a lot of Rs with my last name.

I like Freya Imogen. I have a very sad association with Freya, so it is hard to picture it on anybody else, because that's the only time I've heard Freya. But I much prefer it to Flora.

Link7913

Does Aurelia make anyone else think of areola?

I vote Freya. Nora is our top girl name.

My H doesn't understand that Addie has a huge toddler belly and short arms. Most days, I dress her in a dress or tunic, because long sleeve t-shirts never cover her belly. So, he doesn't see why she is going to need a new jacket for spring. Her one for fall is still plenty long in the sleeves. Yea it is, but it looks like a crop top.

@Stacey099‌ now I want culvers!

Adorable!!!!

@ramy3‌ I prefer Freya and really like Vera. Flora is OK but the kind of name I can imagine being in names of businesses or personal care products.

@mrshudson618‌ Wow. A week with h away. You are so fearless! I have mostly survived, and will be sending all my positive vibes and good thoughts.

@missymr I get it. I love becoming a regular. Cool to have found such a network of working mamas.

@PickleX‌ @Spartanmomma‌ How are you settling in? Thinking of you.

theuntaggablek

He is home! Order is slowly being restored. I got a solo trip to the grocery store this afternoon...ahhh.
Our dead pine tree is finally on the curb and needles swept up.
I could hear S giggling exuberantly playing with daddy while I made dinner. Tomorrow's dinner is made and in the fridge. Three loads of laundry complete.

mrshudson618

Talking about baby names makes me wish I were KU again. For a second. Then I realize that would be INSANE. For a few more months anyway.


I love boys and like the idea of just having a bunch of boys but all the sweet little girl names make me melt.
