I love Nicholas Sparks books! I've read all of them so far. I saw this one and almost bought it, but resisted so that I can finish My Sister's Keeper. How is it so far?

Yes- after the character "Emily Hartly" (sp??) from the Bob Newhart Show

Boy- Peyton William (William is my DH's middle name & is always the 1st boys' middle name)
Girl- Bella Jean... (Jean is my mom's & MIL's middle name) but now I am hesitant because of all the Twilight fans... I liked the name "Belle" fromBeauty & the Beast but wanted it to be 2 syllables b/c I thought that went better with our last name!! So we'll see... silly vampires

Harry Potter series

BFP #1 11/28/09 ~ EDD 8/6/10 ~ DS Born 8/9/10
BFP #2 8/27/13 ~ EDD 5/8/14 ~ Natural MC 9/18/13 at 6 weeks, 6 days
BFP#3 3/28/14 ~ EDD 12/7/14 ~ DD Born 11/21/14
BFP#4 6/15/17 ~ EDD 2/20/18
1. Were you named after anyone? Both of my grandmothers.
2. Do you like your handwriting? Not really, I do a print/writing combo.
3. What do you like best about yourself? I am very organized, a good listener and I throw awesome parties.
4. If you had to pick a name for your child right now, what would it be? (boy and girl!) Well, we have no agreement on a Boy's name at all, DH wants it to be after him (first name) but I don't - it's his name and his dad's name and that's enough. I like the names Jack, Samuel and Luca, but he isn't sold on any of them.
For a girl, I am not sure either, I like Grace Ann or Anna Grace, but he doesn't like Ann or Anna (his brother's ex-girlfriends name or some nonsense). I thought the Ann or Anna would be good though because both my mom and my MIL's name is Nancy, which is a form of Ann.
5. What book are you reading now? Or what would you like to be reading? None, because once I go back to work (at a school) I can't stay up all night reading, so I read in the summer.
2. Do you like your handwriting? For the most part, yes.
3. What do you like best about yourself? My outgoing personality and ability to talk to just about anyone.
4. If you had to pick a name for your child right now, what would it be? (boy and girl!) Right now we have nothing but a fairly lengthy list we are working ourselves through sense we rarely agree. I prefer a less common name and he prefers a more common name.
5. What book are you reading now? Or what would you like to be reading? Eclipse (the third book of the Twilight series).
I love your choice of names, especially the girl name!
1. Not a person but the plantation from Gone With the Wind.
2. I don't really think about it, I guess it'll do.
3. I'm a very strong person.
4. Boy: Nicholas Vincent Girl: Charlotte Anne
5. Silver Chair. My husband loves the Narnia series and I love the Harry Potter series. He had not read HP and I had not read Narnia, so we are each reading the other's books. I'd like to read Time Traveler's Wife next.

2. My handwriting is okay
3. I love that i am a mom to my amazing little girl
