Busy and soon to rest....

Well, it is mid October. Sorry it has been awhile- just cracking down on schooling and such. These past three weeks I have just been running from class to class to homework, etc. I def need a break, but it gets difficult when professors do online assignments and tests OUTSIDE of class grrr. oh well- on that note, this will be my last semester for a year. Hubby and I have decided it would be best for our family to take the year off and finish next spring. I will have one semester left, and baby should be about 9 months old, which will be much easier than a newborn!

Big decision for us, so now after December, I won't have too much to do. I am contemplating coaching again, and when baby comes, baby comes to track meets : ) Start them early right? Last year, I coached pole vault at a local high school, and LOVED it! This is my kiddos' senior year, and they improved so much last year, I would love to see them to their finish : ) However, I have to get past my new head coach. He is very different from our previous head coach, but I think he will be great as well.

On another note, I have been working on some nursery items! The walls are all painted a light and pretty seafoam green. I have installed some white bookshelves (thanks to my awesome sister Barbie!) that are mounted on the wall and off the ground. I am having a friend make the baby bedding, but that won't happen until after Christmas (she is super artsy and crafty and is making TONS of stuff for Christmas). Her site is dancingontheporch.etsy.com. Check it out. Also, I am working on some little crafts here and there for decorations. So far I've decided to put yellow pinwheels across one side of the room- which will be above the crib. I hope this works!!!

Okay, picture time:

Naming the Baby

Today I went through a list (A-Z) of baby girl names, including Armenian ones.

We have picked out a boy name: Samuel Jack Telloian. I like the way Sam would sound : ) Also, 1 Samuel is a beautiful story of Hannah, who wanted a baby so much. God gave her one, and she named him Samuel. Jack runs in both of our families. Samuel Jack kinda sounds like an alcoholic drink hehehe. That was UNINTENTIONAL!

Girl's names, on the other hand, are more frustrating. A girl can be so unique (not that a boy can't be, they are just a little bit more predictable in my eyes, therefore easier to choose a name for). I jotted down names that interested me, so here they are:

Roubina (Rubina)- my beautiful cousin's name that I love

Annie (Ani)- my mother-in-law's name that is so cute

Haley- I taught a little girl for about three years and we formed a close connection. She was so full of spirit : )

Hannah- classic

Heidi- different

Hollie- spunky

Janie- cutesie

Poppy- Our baby is due in the spring.

Renee- seemed dramatic and beautiful to me

Ruby- rockin. Hope our baby isn't cursed with red hair like me though....

Sasha- kinda russian

Sidney (Sydney)- very fun

Wendy- classical

Femi- this means love. I thought it was interesting

Houri (Houry)-another beautiful cousin's name- I absolutely love this one (probably my fave right now)

Mina- My second fave!)

Seta- Kinda cool. Reminds me of something in childhood, but I can't remember what.

Yeva- Armenian, but kinda Russian sounding : )

Help us!!! What's your opinion?
