Is Harrison to matchy with Jackson? Out of the list I sent DH, Harrison is his favorite but I'm not sold just yet. I also loathe the nn Harry (sorry). We've done a great job not using nn with Jackson, but I just do not want people calling him Harry.
Huh. DH broached the subject of having another baby and I'm not quite sure what to think. We've been in the OAD camp due to age and financial constraints, but if he continued to SAH we could probably swing it. I would be fine either way and it's most likely a moot point because of my age, but now I'm all...I don't know what I think. Do we try? Do we just roll with whatever outcome happens naturally?? (I'm already worried about G having to care for aging parents when he's still fairly young.)
In other news we have a play date scheduled this afternoon and I'm excited. I haven't seen these friends in a while and G can hopefully burn off some excess energy!
Last night was awful. Caleb fell out of bed at 8:30 and was inconsolable, so I moved him into our bed, where he fell right to sleep. DH and I were so tired we went to bed earlier than usual, but Caleb was rather restless and then woke up just before 3, insisting on going downstairs. He had a mild fever.
It took close to an hour and a half to get him back to sleep, although it was in his own bed, so that's something. This morning DH let me sleep in and I was still in bed when they were getting ready to go (DH drops them off at daycare on his way to work). Caleb absolutely refused to get dressed, and when they came into our room, Caleb laid down and snuggled next to me. No fever, but he was very snuggly.
It took some doing to get him ready, and he kept saying he wanted to stay with Mommy and sleep, but I'm not sure if that's because it's where I was or if he really isn't feeling great.
I hope he's not getting sick. Neither DH nor I can take a sick day tomorrow.
I'm annoyed with my family right now. My niece is in the cut for a class trip. My sister just sent me their schedule last week. So, I requested today off, but they said no since they are taking days off next week, and I in turn get those days off. I'm not mad, it wasn't a lot of notice, so whatever. I told my niece it wasn't going to work. Well, now I'm getting bombarded with texts scolding me for not "just running over after work." What they don't get, and aren't listening too, is that it'll take me well over an hour to get to Lincoln center, I would be able to see her for 15 minutes, and then I have to travel back in 30 something degree weather, and not get my kid, who's already not sleeping, home until past ten. They just don't understand why I'm not being more "flexible." Grrr.

Harris?
Don't love. It would be Harrison or a completely different name.

I personally love Harrison
perhaps a bit presidential with a Jackson and a Harrison but I still like it a lot
I'm not too concerned with the presidential theme. I mean, Benjamin is on the top of my list followed by Oliver. I'm still working on DH for both those options.

love both of those too
mh cousins kid is Benjamin

It's going to be gorgeous out today (70s) and I feel such pressure to be outside all day!
We're heading to Miami on Friday. I'll have no problem spending all my time outside there Though, honestly, I'm most looking forward to being able to take a nap during the day, lol! I can leave Jamie with ILs and go sleep in my comfy hotel bed. Aaaaaah.

We got the information about the service for our nanny, it's this Saturday. I feel sick all over again because I guess it's really real. I was kind of praying it was all some sort of sick joke.
This is morbid, but if it's on Saturday and she died Monday is there a chance there will be an open casket? I just want to be mentally prepared. We aren't bringing Violet or Ruby.
I also got her canceled check in our online banking and it made me happy that she cashed it in time. I cried seeing her signature. I'm still really upset.
teamhayes we have a Benjamin and an Elliot. We call them .... Benjamin and Elliot! If my H is being funny he calls Elliot, "the Elster", but never around anyone besides me. Definitely not Ellie.
I have an excited feeling, like something good is about to happen... Hm, wonder what it could be!
I went back to the gym for the first time in I can't remember how long. My body was sore this morning, but I love it. I forgot how much I love going to the gym. I'm excited to be back.
I love the name Elliot, but not nn Ellie. I don't think it needs a nn. We don't have a nickname for A's name, and we knew we wouldn't.

TrudyCampbell, it really depends on what her parents wishes were. I think religion takes some precedence as well as to whether it's open, closed or if there is a creamation.
I've been to open casket wakes where the deceased has passed for well over 2 weeks. I dont think time is an issue.
I'm so sorry. This must be so incredibly difficult for you.
I got to see my Grandpa last night and told him I love him and we hung out for a little while. He was really tired but he even said he loves me back. I'm really glad I went and I hope we get more time with him, I'm not loosing hope. He really wants to meet Luke but babies can't go in the ICU, plus I wouldn't feel comfortable bringing him on that floor with the germs.
Today is Luke's hearing re-screen. I'm kind of nervous and I really, really hope he passes. If he doesn't we have to go to an ENT. I know he can hear something beause he reacts to sounds. I hope he cooperates during it too, it's not close to our house and the parking is tricky.
