Sweet 16th

This week we have spent our evenings at home watching the Olympics. While we watch the games we have been fantasizing about what sport our little one will win their first Gold medal in.  If the baby gets Devin's height we are a shoe in for volleyball and swimming.  Another option,  if we start training early enough we could stunt their growth and mold him/her into a gold medal gymnast.... 

We also made our first trip to the MotherLand, Babies-R-Us, armed with 20% OFF coupons and my BFF and seasoned mother Karly, and we snagged ourselves a stroller, carseat(ORANGE carseat!) and TWO car adapters (not on purpose, we didn't realize our carseat actually came with a car adapter until we opened it at home, still debating if we should keep it or return it).  I wanted to practice using the carseat buckles so Otto volunteered to be the guinea pig.  He immediately regretted that decision...

 I am gravitating towards these colors for the nursery, very gender neutral, but can easily be turned one way or another depending on what the little one turns out to be...

We have yet to come to any sort of agreement on names.  I have vetoed most of Devin's boy names: Thor, Rambo, Wolfgang, Tank, and Beowolf, for obvious reasons.  But oddly enough after going watching a movie last week we came across a boy name we both like.  When it comes to girl names I am sensing another theme with Devin's choices, Michaela (Megan Fox in Transformers) and Sam (Jessica Alba in Into the Blue), he of course denies that is where he came up with the names.  Luckily we stumbled upon a girl name while watching the Olympics last week that we both really like. It is way to early in the game to make any decisions but it's good to know that compromise is possible!

On top is a baby name book my mom bought us a few weeks ago and below is the book my parents used to pick names for my sister and I.  It was really neat to see their name-choosing process kinda drawn out within the pages of the book and I definitely will keep it as a sentimental family heirloom. 

Sidenote: The reason for the name of this post is that after having lost it for 14 weeks, my sweet tooth is slowly creeping its way back into my life...not good
