...Natalee?
(spelled that way b/c then it has my middle name in it). and we will call her Elle for short? still not 100% set...
but do love the fact that Natalee means "gift at Christmas". how appropriate will that be? (unless i deliver before Thanksgiving but the doctor assures me that won't happen--in fact, yesterday he insinuated that my due date will likely come and go...).
Natalee Cynthia...I just threw it out there as I was going through a book and Mike really kind of likes it and its ringing sweet to me too...oh, how I wish I was a decisive person.
I have decided that I don't like 1 syllable 1st names...don't know why but I have this thing. There are lots of 1st names people have given me that I like a lot (Grace, Clare) but I don't like the 1 syllable thing. Just doesn't flow to me. Or perhaps what does flow is a 1 syllable 1st name & a 3 syllable middle name.
I never thought I'd be a nickname person either but I think I'm such a control freak that I know people will give my kid a nickname so I just want to control what it is...that's why I've been so obsessed with choosing a name & then a nickname that I like.
All along I've thought that this baby was a boy, but now that we have a girls name that we are pretty settled on it is very real to me that it could be a girl! Plus, everytime we go to the doctor the heartbeat is a little faster...hmmm...I truly think Mikey needs a girl first who can wrap him around her finger & then a boy to straighten him back out... :)
Anyhow, enough rambling (& boy, that was truly rambling!).
So, Natalee (Elle) or Xzavier (Zabe) ... whoever you are...we love you already & can't wait to meet you!

so fun!! i know it's tough to decide but it sure is fun! i can picture it! i still think it's a boy though... i wavered from being so adamant it was a girl, at about 35 weeks too... (must be hormones messin with our heads!) when we decided on deacon creed. i still love it! i hope i get to use it someday soon! :) ahhh i can't believe he thinks your due date will come and go. it is soooo hard to wait!!! i will pray for you!!!
So glad your back to blogging I asked Andrea if you were okay b/c it had been so long since I heard from you. I think you should just go with Elle or Ellee if you want Lee in there. But your baby your decision, Natalee is pretty too.
I'm sorry if my comment sounded mean. That is certainly not what I intended. I reread it and wanted to delete it, but couldn't. So, please disregard it, I would apprecitate it. Thanks.
Just got to say that the nickname/control freak thing is making me giggle. Also, the miss spelling of natalee is making the teacher in me say "hmmmm....." nevertheless...i like natalee and LOVE elle. so here's hoping it's a girl!, but we'll love zabe too, of course!
oh, corin...didn't sound mean to me at all. nice to know that you are worried about me when i'm mia...work has been nutso here! testing kids, referrals, paperwork...oh, wait & teaching--the whole reason i'm here. i love your opinions & any of my other sisters would have given them, too! i'm still going back & forth between natalee & just elle, too. just hope no one is surprised when this baby gets here and the name is totally different!
Love, love, love Natalee and the spelling (sorry Andrea--just like it! It looks good!)
