The 365 Project: Day 182 (July 2nd)

As you may have heard, we are STRUGGLING to choose a girl name. Our boy name has been rock-solid in our heads since Day 1. Not so much on the girl front. The minute I got pregnant, our previous favorite flew right out the window. I like to think that's a mother's intuition: because it's a boy, of course! My mother (who always refers to the little squirrel as a "she"), likes to tell me it's not because it's a boy--it's "because she's telling you that's not her name!"

Well then what the heck is it, child??!

We finally had to resort to hitting up the library for a baby name book. I read lists and lists of them to Raf on our drive to Santa Barbara. Let me tell you how much he enjoyed that...um yeah, not at all!

We have a few possibilities, but still no consensus. I think I may have found my favorite (which was actually the first name to catch my eye in this book). I didn't think it would stick for me, but now, a couple weeks later, it's still with me and I'm starting to love it. Unfortunately, baby daddy isn't currently feeling the love. Sigh.
