Why is this bothering me so? Why am I so anxious to call him something and be happy with whatever name that might be? Why am I concerned that that certain, special name isn't going to come, and I am going to settle on something I don't love but called him anyway for lack of anything better to name him? Why is my husband full of lots of, "No's, No way's, never, not that, absolutely nots', come on, please's? " when I mention a name? And why is his only help or suggestion a shoulder shrug and look that reads, "I have NO idea!"
Bob calls me today while I'm out running the kids to their various activities. He tells me there's a dental assistant in one office who is due right before me. She is naming her boy, Maddox. Then there was another dental assistant in another office who is due after me. She is naming her boy, Austin. "Great," I think. They have names! He then proceeds to tells me that he discloses to the ladies that he is having so much fun seeing the look on my face when he says, "No" to whatever name I suggest, that even when he likes one, he repeats, "No!"
Please. This girl was not surprised. It did give me a good laugh though. Then my wheels went spinning and I thought, "Maybe he really does like some of these names I've been throwing out."
So, I ask.
His reply....
"No."
He's killing me............slowly.
In the meantime, I'll keep searching for that, just right, sounds good, looks good, I love it, perfect (to me), name.
Until then, tiny one will just have to be,
Baby Boy in My Belly.
