"To register...or not to register"...and Elem it is! :)

So for starters, I had huge plans this weekend as far as registering goes. I actually had huge plans as far as the whole weekend goes, but registering was my top priority. So I get up early on Saturday, ran a few errands, and then told Seth we needed to register at Walmart, Target, and Baby Depot if we could. And I knew it would be a lot, but I had no idea how much time it would take. So after I got back from my errands we sat around the house and I pulled up all three sites on the computer so I could get the major things picked out, you know. Like the stroller, swing, pack-n-play, highchair, and floor gym, etc. Because I could go on there and pick them all out myself but I really want Seth to pick them out too! So its not just me doing it on my own. So anyways, we started looking, and there are so so so many options. Geez, I should have been doing way more research on these things! And you would think, working at a daycare for 5 years, would have given me some insight, and I do remember which things I liked, like bottle brand and stuff like that, but there are so many new strollers, and bouncy seats now that they all look appealing. So needless to say we did not get the registering completed, but we did select a swing, if that counts for everything. I am just glad we did it together and it wasnt all just me. :) SO more registering this week and then maybe next weekend Ill get it finished up. Who knows, just from the looks of it, it looks like an all day project!

Now, in regards to Seth and his naming requirements for the week, he did well! I called him on friday and we went over a bunch that i found on the internet and then he thought of one or two on his own. But on a super positive note we have come to the decision just about 99.99% that our little baby boy is going to be named ELEM. Yay! I love it! I dont exactly know how I thought of it, but one day I was just thinking of random names that I liked and it just came to me, so ever since, it has been the only name that seth has approved. And it is his favorite name. I just love it because it is unique and very original. And its simple too. :) So there you have it. Not completley official, but as close as we are going to get until we sign it on the birth certificate.

At this point, the real hard part is picking the middle name. This is what Seth was supposed to be working on, but we havnt really gotten anywhere with it. There are lots of names that we love. My personal favorite is Zane. I think Elem Zane would be a good name. But Seth is not so sure. We also like Stone, and Garner, and a couple more, but just cant find one that is perfect! So we will see. I guess it will just come to us sooner or later!!! Anyways, so there is the update for the weekend.

Love you all! Mindy
