PHEW I chose a name....FINALLY. After going back and forth over what seemed every name out there. I have Decided on Blaire Evelyn for myself. Its actually a pretty big load off. Now that its out there, Dont let me change it. Tomorrow I am deleting my Facebook and starting a new one also. I am pretty excited.
Found this old video of True
Oh my sweet baby, Please stop growing into a little man. Mommy misses her baby.
Rainbow Cupcakes!!
Ok so I love Spearmint Baby, I think it might have turned into an obsession actually. I spend countless hours looking through her nursery posts. I look and look and look trying to come up with the best ideas possible for True and baby #2. So far I think we want to do an old antique plane theme or old baseball theme for Truett. He has this obsession with balls. (Baseball, Basketball, Football, Tennis Balls) He is truly and manly man...Erm...boy. Anyways today I found on another blog that I follow {Made by Girl} that she did a rainbow cupcake post. HOW DID I MISS THIS!!
I dont know how I missed these but I {And you} need to try these. She gives the recipe here. I am so excited to go out and get the supplies so True, Sky, and I can try these for ourselves!
3 years ago today...
Wow little buddy, I cant believe how far we've come. 3 years ago today I was going in to see my sweet handsome little man for the first time. He was stubborn that day and wiggled around so much that the sonographer was unable to see if he was a boy, or a girl yet. He was so mad at her for rubbing the machine against my belly that all he did was kick the probe the entire time. (As seen in the second picture)
I remember being to scared at that moment, Only a month before I had lost his sister Ashlynn. I was on bedrest at the time and just scared out of my mind. No one expects to lose a child in utero (or any time for that matter) and I still wasn't out of the woods yet for him. 3 weeks later on November 26th I went back to get a "gender" sonogram. The days and weeks leading up to this I swore up and down you were a girl. I admit I was a little upset when the lady told me you were a boy.
I cant believe how wrong I was. I am so thankful that you were a boy. Your smile and your personality make me cry sometimes. Your such a sweet and dear little boy. I am so blessed to be able to call myself your Mommy. I knew it would be hard from the beginning, I thank you for never giving up on me. 3 years ago.....Where has it gone. Your such a little man now, You like to do things on your own and it amazes me.
Sometimes I sit and wonder how you will be when you grow up, What ever you decide to be know that Mommy and Daddy love you know matter what. With God leading your life, You cant go wrong. I love you so much squirt.
Whats in a name?
I have seen lately that its "popular" to name your daughters boy names. I dont like it. I find myself wanting to go with an overly boy name if Baby#2 was to possibly come out a little boy instead of a little girl. Right now my name crushes are Ferris Alexander and Weston Bryce. I also love the name Lear for Skylar. He has this amazing love for planes. Lear would be like Lear Jett. I think a handsome MD for Lear would be Lear....(Thinks about it) Augustus, Danler, Alexander.
I have a friend that I went to school with that recently named her son Axton Danler. I have found myself loving the name Danler. Truetts name is Truett Dean and I am having thoughts about if we have another son to give then the same middle name initial. Ferris, Lear, Weston. I think they all would sound well with Danler.
On another note, I am really getting bummed at all the women naming there daughters (Non-unisex) Straight boy names. Henry, Daniel, Ryan, Dylan, Elloit, Brian, today I even heard of Michael. I feel like no boys name is safe. I dont want my son to have to go to school with some other (Ferris for instance) It would take the strong and handsome name i chose and turn it girly. If you wouldnt name your son Rebecca, Rachel, Hannah, Molly, Samantha...So on so forth. Then why would you name your daughter Dylan. When did these names cross the fence and become "okay" to be on girls. To me, There manly names. Ryan literally means "little king" Seriously, that is ALL man to me.

**Edited to apologize**
I apologize to any mother that I might have offended. I was very upset and disgruntled. I just find it hard to keep my sweet boys name masculine if women want to girl it away to girls. I understand that everyone has there own right to name there child whatever they want (Unique spelling included) It is not my right to possibly offend anyone who takes time out of their day to come and visit us here. A negative blog is not one that we stive for here at T&S. We are happy people and I apologize for my hiccup in moods today. With that being said. I am sure that if baby #2 was to come out a boy, We would find a perfect name for him. Atm I am loving the name Lear for Sky since he really loves planes. Thank you again for dealing with my insane behavior. Now follow us :))))
