The Decision

If this baby is a girl her name will be:

Quinlin Jane Carrigan Woodhead, Quin for short. Jane is Evan's oldest sister's middle name. And Carrigan is my great great grandmother's maiden name.

Perfect

"Childbirth is the ordinary miracle."

The Name Game

We are having trouble naming our baby when it's girl. Evan jinxed himself before we had Hartlee by saying that he would prefer all girls to boys (I believe he is insane for preferring this). Also his brothers seem to think he will have all girls as well. Bitch sperm as Evan calls it.

Anyways we have narrowed it down to these options:

Ailey pronounced I-lee. We might spell it Eilee, Ailee, or Islee. I like this name but im still not sold. First Im afraid that she will constantly have to correct people on how to say her name. I can hear the mistakes now Is-lee, A-lee, ugh. Second Evan wants her middle name to be Jane so we would have Ailey Jane and Hartlee Elaine. Kinda sounds like Dr. Suess names our children.

Ellee. I like Ellee I just think it needs to be a nickname, especially when compared to Hartlee. I like Elodi and Elliot.

Irelynn.

Quinlan, Quinn for short. Or maybe just Quinn. Quinlan means descent from the handsome man according to babynames.com which would be fitting if I do say so myself.

Anyways let me know what you think??

Oh and if its a boy he will be Sawyer Maxwell Thomas Woodhead. Long I know, but we like torturing our kids.

A Song To Make You Cry

I love this song. Everytime I hear it I cry, because every word of it is undeniably true. I seriously recommend listening to it and not just reading the lyrics.

It Wont Be Like This For Long
By Darius Rucker

He didn't have to wake up
He'd been up all nite
Lay'n there in bed listen'n
To his new born baby cry
He makes a pot of coffee
He splashes water on his face
His wife gives him a kiss and says
It gonna be OK

It wont be like this for long
One day soon we'll look back laugh'n
At the week we brought her home
This phase is gonna fly by
So baby just hold on
It won't be like this for long

Four years later bout four thirty
She's crawling in their bed
And when he drops her off at preschool
She's clinging to his leg
The teacher peels her off of him
He says what can I do
She says now don't you worry
This will only last a week or two

It wont be like this for long
One day soon we'll drop her off
And she wont even know you're gone
This phase is gonna fly by
If you can just hold on
It wont be like this for long

One day soon she'll be a teenager
And at times you'll think she hates him
Then he'll walk her down the aisle
And he'll raise her veil
But right now she up and cry'n
And the truth is that he don't mind
As he kisses her good night
And she says her prayers
He lays down there beside her
Till her eyes are finally closed
And just watch'n her it breaks his heart
Cause he already knows
It wont be like this for long
One day soon that little girl is gonna be
All grown up and gone
Yeah this phase is gonna fly by
He's try'n to hold on
It wont be like this for long
It wont be like this for long
