Baby Names

Choosing a name for this little girl is turning out to be a very difficult!!!!!  Right off the bat I have to make sure that any name I choose will fit well with Vonderscheer.  I mean with the last name of Vonderscheer I don't want to name her Victoria Elizabeth, the poor thing wouldn't be able to spell her name until the 3rd grade :)  Plus, I don't want to pick a name that will automatically open her up to ridicule.  So far these are front runners (in no particular order):

• Sophia Mary
• Cate Frances
• Erica Jean
• Ella Mary
• Claire

This little girl will probably not have an official name until I actually get to hold her in my arms and have a chance to get to know her.

In Today's World.....

So I called today to register for my Childbirth class.  I was extremely excited because this is finally starting to feel real, I am more than half way done with this pregancy.

Let's say I was excited until I received the confirmation email; "Dear Mr and Mrs Vonderscheer......".  Those five words made me stop and think, is this something I am going to have to deal with from now on?  I was just going to ignore the assumption until an amazing woman pointed out that I should not have to put up with the narrow mindedness of others: Thanks Mom. 

So with that vote of confidence I replied to the email and the Director of the Franciscan Health system and pointed out that not every individual who enrolls in one of their childbirth classes is apart of a married couple.  I realize that they are a Catholic organization, but one aspect of my faith I embrace is the acceptance of all. 

In today's world we need to me understanding an open minded.

Guess it's time to get back to work.

Changes

So a lot has changed since my last post.  I am going to be a Mom.  At this point I am 19 weeks pregnant and due on the 2nd of June.  I think for the next couple of months I am going to use this blog to keep track of ideas for the nursery and other baby stuff.  If you are expecting me to vent about the situation I find myself in then you do not need to continue to read.  I am going to be a Mom to a wonderful child and at this point that is all that matters.  I have faith that the rest will fall where it may.  So with that being said here is my first list of items I need to keep track of.

Stroller and Car Seat

This is the same set that PawPaul has and it is the only stroller that I can actually push with out doubling over at the waste.  I am very lucky that Uncle Mark has said this is his gift to the baby.  I love my brother.

I have decided that since I am not going to find out the sex of the baby that I want to do his/her room in Mickey Mouse.  So I am know on a mission to find the perfect bedding set.  I good friend of mine found this set online but I don't know where to buy it.
