Snippets

-It's my birthday, whoop whoop! I really have no plans aside from pizza with the family later tonight (which I am crossing my fingers that Justin is able to attend), and getting my free birthday coffee from the local coffee place. No matter what, it's going to be a good day...or at least better than last year's no-good awful birthday where we all had the stomach flu!

-We've been busy lately. In the last week, Justin rarely got home from work before 7pm. If he did, he had baseball. And on top of that, in the last week we also squeezed in a memorial service, my brother's birthday, some swimming, some beer brewing, a newborn photo session, some blueberry picking, and lots more. I'm a little tired just thinking about it!

 {I have no idea how this last photo horizontally flipped itself in my phone, but it did. I have no idea how long I walked around yesterday with two pairs of glasses on my head before I noticed.}

-Yesterday, after picking up a few things at Wal-Mart, I had the weirdest thing happen. As we were checking out, Lizzy told me that she had to go potty. We've been dealing with a major potty training regression with her since her cousin Lyla was born, so this was HUGE that she told me she needed to go. Awesome, and huge. Only? Wal-Mart told me that I was not allowed to take the cart full of things I'd just purchased into the bathroom. I get not taking unpaid merchandise in, but the stuff I'd just bought? What was I supposed to do with it? I'm sorry, but it's a terrible idea to leave a cart full of stuff I'd just paid for sitting unattended outside the bathroom where anyone could walk off with it. Luckily, we made it down the road to church for a pit stop, but honestly I was kind of hoping she'd pee on the the Wal-Mart floor.

- Justin and I still haven't actually sat down and had a names discussion about Baby #2. BUT, I think we are getting the impression that we are supposed to name her Rebecca? The weirdest thing happened this past week-- I had two separate dreams wherein I had a newborn named Rebecca. I hadn't told Justin about them yet....when the morning after the second dream I heard Justin accidentally call our daughter Rebecca instead of Lizzy. It was kind of bizarre! The only thing is that Justin's family was friends with another family in Washington that has both an Elizabeth and a Rebecca. Even though they're not a family we interact with all that frequently anymore....that would be a little weird. Also, there's an Elizabeth and a Rebecca (who are related) in my Mom's Group! How funny is that?! Either way, I don't think Rebecca was really on either of our "lists", but it just keeps popping up, ha!

  1. Happy Birthday! Do you have an iPhone? The pictures flip automatically for some reason when you have it on self photo mode..annoying.

    I love the name Rebecca. A friend of ours just had a little girl and their favorite girls' names happen to be the same names of daughters of her family friends...I told them not to worry about it and go with names they love.

  3. Happy Birthday, friend! The Rebecca thing is so odd! I'd think it was a sign, too! ;)

  4. Happy Birthday Mere! I hope you have a great day with Lizzy and a great evening with your family. :)

    The WalMart thing would have severely irritated me. They are YOUR items. What do they care what you do with them? Weird.

    And I love the name Rebecca. First of all, Elizabeth is one of my favorite girl names, so I've always loved Lizzy's name. But Rebecca is in my top faves as well...you've got good taste. ;)

  7. I'm looking forward to hearing what name you guys choose :) Funny about Rebecca! Becky for short? Cute.

    I see you're reading Gold. Have you read Little Bee? (I read Little Bee, but not Gold). I just bought Gone Girl on Amazon :) Finished Mofongo by Samartin...don't read that one first if you are still thinking of reading her. Go for Ghost Heart.

    I don't get Walmart. YOU should have peed on the floor.
    Happy Birthday!

  9. Happy birthday! I also kind of wish she would've peed in Wal-Mart ;). I also think if you had a Rebecca that it would be too cute to have a Lizzy and Becca!

  10. Happy belated birthday! :) And yes, I would have been totally ok if she would have peed in WalMart. That's just NUTS.
