Stole idea from AP "Lets get to know eachother"
1. What's the best part of being a mom (or what do you look forward to the most if you're pg)?
2. What's your favorite ice cream flavor?
3. How did you meet your DH/SO?
4. Why did you choose the name you did for your LO??
1. I love having such sweet cute little boys with me 24/7 and knowing that I created them. Never really thought to much of myself in past but I am proud of what I have created!
2. Cookies and cream, cherry
3. At church
4. I've always lived the name Caleb from Sarah plain in tall. Also I like the account of Caleb and Joshua in the bible and how they were the only 2 out of the 12 spies that proved to be honest to Moses and puttheir trust in Jehovah God.
Now it's your turn!

Re: Stole idea from AP "Lets get to know eachother"
best part of being a mom is snuggle time and watching him grow.
Favorite ice cream is vanilla
Met DH studying abroad in China!
DS's name is the one we both liked. No particular reason
1. What's the best part of being a mom (or what do you look forward to the most if you're pg)? The snuggles and baby laughs
2. What's your favorite ice cream flavor? Butter Pecan
3. How did you meet your DH/SO? We met in high school through our church youth group but didn't start dating until college.
4. Why did you choose the name you did for your LO? It was the only one that we still liked when DS was born. All the other names came and went throughout my pregnancy.
1. What's the best part of being a mom (or what do you look forward to the most if you're pg)?
Seeing her smile - and hearing that elusive little laugh! One smile from her makes my whole day great.
2. What's your favorite ice cream flavor?
Moose Tracks
3. How did you meet your DH/SO?
I waited tables in college - and he was one of my managers. Scandalous, LOL.
4. Why did you choose the name you did for your LO?
I've loved the name Sadie for years. I think it's quirky and old-fashioned enough to sound new.
1. I've only been at this mom thing for 2 days now...but my favorite part is holding her when her eyes are open, she looks at me and i think...WOW...I made her!
2. There is no way I could pick just one favorite ice cream. Lol
3. DH and I actually found eachother through mutual friends on myspace. I saw him on someone's friend spot on their profile and thought he looked cute, so I added him. We talked for a week or so, decided to go out on a date and...ta-da! happily ever after
4. I've always loved the name Natalie. It was on DH's list of names he chose too, so we decided on that one. DH chose the middle name, Elyse. I would've preferred Elizabeth, but I really do like Elyse now.
1. Watching her sleep in my arms, or beside me, knowing that someone is so utterly dependant on me (yes, I like to feel needed!!)
2. Mint Chocolate Chunk or Neapolitan
3. Star Wars Online Gaming Club... then I invited him to Canada to be a date for a friend's wedding
4. Evelyn for my paternal grandmother, Alexis McKenzie because I liked the way they sounded together, and because for some reason I obsessed over the name McKenzie
1. Cuddling with her at night...and dreaming about all the amazing childhood experiences we get to share with her!
2. Cookie dough, maybe? Or lemon custard.
3. At church- my mom was the youth leader, his dad was the music minister.
4. Her name is Anneliese Olive...Anneliese after his 2 grandmothers (Anne and Elsie) and Olive just because we thought it was cute.
1. seeing him smile at me and hearing his laugh. And knowing that I had a hand in creating a new life!
2. Mint Choc. Chip... yummm!!
3. his older sister set us up. She goes to my church and I babysat for her children for a long time. She came up to me after church one evening asked if I wanted to meet her younger brother. I said yes, and that was that! It's weird that my former baby-sitting charges are now my nieces and nephews!
4. Austin was my great-great-grandfathers name. My grandma threw it out there when I called to tell her that we were having a boy and I immediatly liked it. Michael is my uncles name... him and my aunt can't have any children, so I thought it would be nice to name my child after him.
1. What's the best part of being a mom (or what do you look forward to the most if you're pg)?
Cuddling and holding her. I could stare at her for days. Her smile and chuckle crack me up. I love seeing that gummy grin.
2. What's your favorite ice cream flavor?
Atz's Banana Split...really, I like it all. I don't discriminate.
3. How did you meet your DH/SO?
I was engaged w/ my high school sweetheart (7 yrs together). I broke it off and was going thru a hard, hard time. My roommie and best friend made me go out one night w/ her boyfriend and his buddies. I met DH that night. My best friend is now married to that boyfriend. DH's brother and her husband are best friends. That make sense? Anyways, we're a tight bunch now.
4. Why did you choose the name you did for your LO?
I teach, so lots of names remind me of past students. We wanted something not trendy...more traditional. We went to the Bible. Leah was perfect. She was supposed to be a Dec. baby, and we were married last Christmas. Noelle was the perfect middle name for her.
1. My favorite part is watching him learn. He looks so serious, and I can see him thinking.
2. chocolate
3. N/A but I met LO's father at work.
4. I just saw it on a list of names one day, and it stuck. Also the name of a character in a Niel Gaiman book.
1. What's the best part of being a mom (or what do you look forward to the most if you're pg)? When she smiles up at me and when all I have to do is hold her and she calms down. She already knows who her momma is!
2. What's your favorite ice cream flavor? Chocolate
3. How did you meet your DH/SO? Kind of cliche but at a bar. He was doing sound for a band I was seeing. It turns out we had mutual friends and it took him running the sound board that night for us to run into each other.
4. Why did you choose the name you did for your LO? B/C her name couldn't be Madeline...seriously...we had 95% settled on Madeline. When they asked us what her name was going to be, DH and I said that Madeline didn't fit her. Abigail had been on the list as well, so that's what we chose. It's a classic beautiful name...and we mostly call her Abby.
1. What's the best part of being a mom (or what do you look forward to the most if you're pg)? When I walk into her room in the morning and say hi to her. She looks up and gives me the widest gummiest smile and kicks her legs like crazy and laughs and coos. It's the best feeling ever and a great way to start my day.
2. What's your favorite ice cream flavor? Maple Walnut
3. How did you meet your DH/SO? Through mutual friends. We would always attend the same barbecues and other functions at their place and it was seriously love at first sight.
4. Why did you choose the name you did for your LO? I'm not sure. I always liked the name. We actually thought about calling her Breton but my husband said we couldn't name her after a cracker. As for her middle name, I have always loved the name Paige.
1. What's the best part of being a mom?
When she smiles at me with so much love in her eyes, it melts my heart! I also love that she will sometimes stop crying when she hears my voice. Honestly, I love every part of being a mom! It's the greatest gig ever!
2. What's your favorite ice cream flavor?
I love, love, love cookie dough!
3. How did you meet DH/SO?
I met DH in high school. He was my big bro's best friend, and he would come over to our house and would just stare at me and never say a word!! I nicknamed him "creepy Sean". LOL. Well, fast forward about 6 years: I went to his hockey game and while he was driving me home we got to talking about what our goals and aspirations are, and they matched! The rest is history!
4. Why did you choose the name you did for your LO?
When I was a little girl, I LOVED the name Sylvie. I named all of my Barbies and dolls Sylvie. That name has always stuck with me. Thank goodness DH loves the name too!

2. Pistachio
3. national catholic youth conference in houston texas (we are both from minnesota)
4. Joseph is my maternal grandfathers name and we just really liked Eli.

4. Why did you choose the name you did for your LO? It was my BILs middle name who passed away almost 2 years ago. He was only 18 and since Dh and I have been together so long it was like watching my own little brother grow up. I miss him:(

4. Why did you choose the name you did for your LO? We were having a hard time deciding between Hailey and Sophia. We both liked each equally. One day we just woke up and decided it would be Hailey. I don't really know what finally swayed our decision, I guess we just thought that was the name for her!
1. What's the best part of being a mom?
Knowing that everything she is learning, everyday, she is learning from me. Seeing her smile and laugh. Seeing every milestone!
2. What's your favorite ice cream flavor?
Moose tracks or mint chocolate chip.
3. How did you meet your DH/SO?
I was at work at a pizza place in the mall and an old friend from high school came up to say hello and grab a bite. He had a friend with him, I made it clear that I thought he was cute, and my friend called the store later to get my number for his friend. We have since broken up, but I couldn't be more thankful for meeting him and having LO.
4. Why did you choose the name you did for your LO?
I agonized over choosing a girl's name once I'd found out I was having a girl. For whatever reason, I really thought I was having a boy and had settled on a boy's name. So, I read through every name site a hundred times. Found a new name every week that I thought might be right. One day, I was reading names out loud to my mom, and said, "Aubrey." My mom said she liked it, and for some reason I could just picture myself saying Aubrey to call her over to me when she's 3 or whatever. I thought Lynn sounded nice with Aubrey, and my sister's name is Aslynn. So it is kind of for her, since she is pretty sure she won't have any kids.
1. What's the best part of being a mom (or what do you look forward to the most if you're pg)? Watching them grow and develop personalities
2. What's your favorite ice cream flavor? Butter Pecan
3. How did you meet your DH/SO? We were in HS, he worked at the Car Wash next to the Taco Bell I worked at... haha.
