For the past couple of weeks, Derek and I have been referring to “baby sister” more and more as “baby Camryn”. Neither boy is thrilled with our choice of name. Connor wants to name her Sarah, and Logan has been through a myriad of names including Noah (his bff) and Boobie. I figure if we start to call her Camryn now, they will warm up to it a bit.
So far, there is NO warming up to Camryn.
Logan has decided that he wants to call her Madison (which is a definite step up from Boobie!) We got to spend time with his cousin Madison last weekend, and then this week at VBS there was a little girl named Madison in his class. So now he is stuck on the name Madison.
Every conversation about the baby goes like this:
“Logan, are you getting excited to meet baby Camryn? She is going to be born so soon!”
“You mean baby Madison?”
“Hey Logan. Where is baby Camryn?”
“You mean baby Madison?
“Logan, can you get your toys out of baby Camryn’s room?”
“You mean baby Madison?”
“Logan, be soft with my belly. Baby Camryn is still in there.”
“You mean baby Madison?”
He says it every single time. We cannot continue the conversation until I say “yes, baby Madison.” It’s cracking me up! I wonder if he will really call her Madison like he says he is going to. Something tells me he will, at least for awhile.
Speaking of baby Camryn/Madison/Sarah…I really thought maybe I was starting to go into labor yesterday! I woke up at 4:30 in the morning with contractions every 8-10 minutes, and I could not get back to sleep because of the discomfort. That has never happened, even with C and L. I timed them on and off all morning (they stayed pretty consistent), but around 11:00, they fizzled. I kept having quasi-uncomfortable contractions all day, but they never got bad or close together. Bummer! I was getting excited! I know I could walk around like this for weeks…or she could come at any time. I cannot wait to meet our daughter! (Especially now that my friend Staci had her precious baby boy yesterday! I’m so happy for you, Staci!)
Hope you all have a good Saturday! I am going to get the rest of the baby stuff out of the attic today, plus we have a birthday party. It should be a fun day!
