So things have been going pretty good
lately... .I've decided that .I'm going
to work up to my 35th week, then .I'm
going to start my maternity leave and
finish getting everything ready for the
baby, and take a well deserved rest until
the baby gets here.
.I'm feeling really proud of me and my bf
these days... Since .I found out .I was
pregnant, both of us have been working
between 40 and 60 hour work weeks, and
we've saved a nice bit of money.I've got a
crib and a change table, and tons of
clothes. My best friend is throwing me a
baby shower this weekend, and .I know
.I'll be getting a highchair, stroller,
and a car seat.I think its actually
starting to hit me now that we're going to
have a baby relatively soon. But its
still weird....Like .I can feel her kick,
and look in her room, but there's still
something really surreal about it all.
Does/ has anyone else found the same
thing?
And we've finially decided on a
name....Molly elizabeth.I really had my
heart set on .Molly, if anyone remembers
:p. But .I like .Elizabeth for her middle
name because .I think it makes .Molly,
which .I would normally consider a little
girl's name, sound more mature. And plus,
its also my bf's grandmother's name.
And one quick question.... Do most
couples who have a baby and aren't married
go with the mother's last name or the
father's? Because .I was planning on
giving her my bf's last name, because we
do eventually plan on getting married, so
.I figured that would make the most
sense.

Congrats, hon! Sounds like everything is
coming together!
I didn't really feel surreal. I would
stare at her crib and cry because I wanted
her here so badly. I don't know why, but
looking at her crib and little clothes
hanging up and her changing table, it
would make me miss her so badly.
I adore the name you chose! It flows very
well together, and .Elizabeth does give it
maturity.

I love the name you chose! Molly is such
a sweet name.
For me it didn't feel surreal until after
I gave birth. I would look at him and
think "he used to be inside me", it's been
over 2 months and I still think like that
sometimes.
As for the last name, if you're going to
be married eventually then I think it
would be easiest to just give the baby the
dad's last name. That's what we did. Oh,
and even though you're doing that they'll
refer to the baby as baby "mother's last
name" in the hospital.
