@SKZW exactly! I am like how about instead of worrying about all this we just pray for a safe delivery!

I am just speechless that people who aren't the parents of the children being named think they have any say at all. I'm outraged on your behalf. If my MIL pulled that crap I would tell her she could call him the grandchild she never sees if she doesn't play ball. There is no reason to be respectful about this when your FIL is obviously showing no respect for the decision you and your DH have made about your child. 

I don't know why this has me so riled up today.

On the godparents conversation- with first daughter we did have a family member try to slip into the spot by talking about how she would love to be godmother, etc. we shut that down really fast, and have chosen non-family members for all of our children's godparents. We told family that we know that they will always be in our children's lives, and this is a way that we can give the children an even bigger family of support. 
Just another option to think about, if people are being unreasonable and annoying and making you not want to have any of them chosen!

Oy @lilylover27 and @Kipperoo you both have some difficult family members. My mother said just don't have a really long name and his mother didn't want anything extremely Christian. So far no other comments and we would ignore them any ways. Yours sound so petty and not very respectful/realizing it's not their kid! 


On a happy happy note I PASSED my glucose test!!!! So happy. Celebrating with some Coldstone later tonight.

@SWE2 , YAY! Congrats on passing the glucose test!! Enjoy your Coldstone!

Btw @Kipperoo I feel like Estellenore is going to be the next big Disney princess villain. Like, maybe vaguely Italian, but also vaguely flapper girl meets cruella deVil? (And I don't know how to spell my Disney villains. Oh well.)

@SWE2 congrats on passing the glucose test!
@squirtgun yea we tried that by saying we would choose friends and they got even more annoying with it! We can't win so we are just going to do what we want.

@SWE2 hooray!! That's so exciting!

Boo to all the opinionated family members with baby names. 

I'm dealing with: "oh, I think you're done with two." "Oh, you're going to try for a girl, right?" Ugh, let me get through THIS pregnancy first PLEASE!
