Our potential names for the baby are buried in some comments,so I thought that I would put them on the blog for those of you who may not browse as thoroughly as others. If our little one should happen to be a boy,we are considering Simon Octavius Cathey,a name that Marcus and I came up with back when we were hypothetically thinking about maybe having a child in the next few years. Girls names have been much more difficult for us to decide on,and we have come up with this one lately:Aurelia Marie Cathey. We have also thought of Rebecca Nicole as a possible girls’name. Everyone has opinions about names,so feel free to let us know what you think,especially if “That name is too weird and no one will ever be able to spell it.”I do wonder about such things.
Then again,nobody can manage to spell my name correctly,either. Some common permutations are Sara,of course,or Sarha (if I say “with an h”). I almost think that people expect names to have weird spellings and go for creativity points. My favorite is when I check my credit report and find that store credit cards that I have had in the past are misspelled. The cashier had my drivers’license in her hand!!! She couldn’t manage to copy it down properly? Whatever…I won’t even get started on how many time a month I have to say “Yes,that is my LAST NAME!”when I get weird responses from people asking for my name. As if I would get it mixed up.
The other news is really just that we are waiting to find out with certainty about where I will be delivering the baby. We had planned to deliver at a birthing center,and I was very excited about a quiet,perhaps even a water birth outside of the hustle and bustle and beeping machines in the hospital,but it is looking as if that might not come together. This is a pretty crumby thing to find out at the beginning of my last trimester,and I’m quite upset about it. I just think that there need to be a lot of improvements made in the way that our society views pregnancy and child birth. I don’t really think that babies need to “be delivered”by a doctor as if they are yanking the baby out while I do nothing…That is another rant and I could go on all day,so I won’t.
On the positive,side,I am feeling well,and the baby is continuing to be super-active for most of the day. The little booger even woke me up from a dead sleep one night last week and kept me up with the kicking for about 3 hours. I was a total zombie the next morning. I can only imagine what the first few weeks of life are going to be like. At least I won’t have to get to work by 8:30 and be gone all day for a couple of months after the baby is born.
I will try to make the next entry more positive,and we are probably in need to some more belly pictures,soon.
OH,I forgot to mention that at my weight is just shocking! I cannot believe that I am a full 25 lbs heavier than I was just a few short months ago. I don’t think that I look big enough to have put on that much. It is just amazing how compact it is,that most of my body is still about the same except for the middle bit.:) Oh,and I’m pretty sure that I outweigh Marcus,now!
