Name Game

Happy belated Mother's Day to everyone. We pretty much just spent our day hanging out at home, which is pretty much what we do every Sunday, but it was still a nice day. We did spend some time in the morning outside blowing bubbles. Molly can actually do it herself now which is pretty cool. If you haven't already figured this out, it should be mentioned that you shouldn't waste your money on any other bubble solution besides Gazillion Bubbles. Millions of Bubbles? not enough. The only amount of bubbles that seems to be enough is gazillion. I'm not sure why it's so much better (probably a carcinogenic ingredient) but it's a gazillion times better.


Check out that bruise on her cheek. Didn't see how that one happened.

Look at all these tomatoes! They're mostly sauce now thanks to Jonny.

I don't think I mentioned it here, but at my last appointment I was measuring a couple centimeters big. I'm happy to report that I had my appointment today and I'm back on track. She said that last time it was most likely that baby M was in a strange position. Phew! I'm pretty sure I'll have a plenty big baby without measuring big.
I also think we've settled on a name. Somewhere along the way we decided to use Jane as a middle name (It was my grandma's middle name) but we were still wavering between Maisie and Maggie. Now Jonny has no recollection of this, but a long time ago I mentioned using the name Magnolia and calling her Maggie, at the time he said that he didn't like it. I brought it up again and this time he liked it. Of course this just confused things for me because now Maggie was starting to take a lead over Maisie. The only drawback to the Magnolia/Maggie name was that it kind of sounds a little "La -ti-da" (what's the word Rams? "Hootalah"?). I like the simplicity of Molly and even though Maggie captures that for me, Magnolia sounds kind of fancypants to me. Yesterday however, the universe gave us a sign. My mom called me to tell me that she was at the nursery (plants not babies) in Joplin and there is a variety of tree called the Magnolia Jane. So if you happened to have made it through that whole stream of consciousness paragraph...Magnolia (Maggie) Jane it is! Thankfully it's a very pretty tree.
