*While many of you guessed the middle name correctly, I must say that no one guessed MO’s first name in the comments, on Twitter or in the emails I received. BWAHAHAAAAA, it is a mystery of epic proportions! I HOLD THE POWER.
*My back labor has eased up substantially, which is good and bad. Good? Well, obviously, I feel better. Bad? Why in the hell did I pack my hospital bag? I mean, the baby is Never Going to ARRIIIIIIIIIVE. Let’s all feel sorry for me right now.
*We had a 37-week ultrasound yesterday and for a brief, fleeting moment, MO pulled her hands out of her mouth to show us her little profile. Wito was in the room with us and yelled, “It’s the Baby Bean show!!” (We also call her Baby Bean around the house. Whoorlita, MO, Baby Bean…we welcome confusion.) Here she is:
Annnnnd, hands back in mouth.
*I am having these massive energy spurts at 11pm while everyone else snoozes in our dark house. Last night, I poked around Wito’s room for a good 15 minutes while he slept until I realized I was being sort of creepy.
*We are in the thick of June Gloom out here, which is only making my antsy mood worse. Can’t sleep! Baby will never come! Restless legs! The world is ending!
Tell me something good. I am seriously funkafied right now.
I was seeing if you updated on the guesses… And I got to think of initials if your daughter marries someone with a last name beginning with O her initials would be MOJO assuming she hyphenates her last name. How cool would those initials be?
No one has guessed yet! (And also, James is my maiden name so not the kids’ last name. Her initials will be MOD. Which is pretty cool, yes?)

A compliment for you…I took your advice and bought infusium shampoo for my dry, wavy hair. I really think I can tell a difference! The moisture, ITS WORKING! Nothing works here in Louisiana where there is constantly 115% humidity at all times. Thanks for the recommendation.

Oh the restless legs from hell. Well, I won’t tell you what everyone else was telling me for the past few weeks: to sleep while you can (ha!) and that life is harder with a baby than being pregnant (all relative, friends. It’s all relative.) But I will tell you that the end is soon! Even if it doesn’t seem like it. She will be here before you know it!

Mary…Mary Olive
possibly Miriam
maybe Meike
I’m going to guess Marguerite for Whoolita’s name because it’s my grandma and my daughter’s name and I clearly like it.
trying to guess the name is making me crazy!
if we have another boy he will most likely be Anders so I love your taste in names – I’m hoping the girl’s name is just as lovely!
my guesses would be Marit, Marijke, Malin, Mireille, Miriam, Mila.
can you at least tell us if it’s a legit name or if it’s something new and modern and possibly made-up? that would make the guessing a lot easier on my (name-nerd) part.
It is a legit name – I promise I didn’t string random letters together in an attempt to create a name. ;) However, it’s obviously very rare.
Something good? Well, (in an effort to make lemonade) I got maybe the third worst haircut I’ve ever had (ever being since I moved out and started paying for my own haircuts) on Saturday. I had a little chin length bob and wanted some highlights for summer and some shorter pieces around the face. However, my regular stylist is going back to beauty school and so busy that I just booked a quick appt with a girl at the local quick cut type of place that gave me a good trim a few months back.
Wow… The shorter pieces ended up being a weird single layer that hit halfway between the crown of my head and the ends of my hair so she added a little more layering. She also really really gave me a lot of really blonde highlights. Now the few caramelly ones I asked for.
The good? I’ve figured out two ways to wear my hair so far that don’t make it look like I’ve run my head under a lawnmower. Neither of those involve a hat, although with hair this short, that’s not a good idea either. I’m taking Vitamin E supplements in an effort to make my hair grow faster. I’m thinking of fessing up to my regular stylist that I cheated on her to see if she can fit me in for a quickie fix.
I’m posting photos on my blog later, it should give you a laugh….
Miller, Monroe, Miles, Mallory….
It doesn’t matter what you name the sweet child, to me she will always be Mo. :P
Um…
Marcelle/Marcella
Magdalene
Marjorie
Meridith
I can’t wait to hear her name! My guesses are Misha, Maya and Mia, Marie, Marianna, Melissa.
I have one more: Montserrat.
Ack, still no correct guesses? Hmm… Mika, Myra, Merrick, Mirielle, Macon, Marlen, Marise, Mattea, Myla, Morena, Maclaine. I can’t wait to hear what it is!
Is it Meegan? Because that’s my name and I don’t believe anyone has yet guessed it. If it isn’t, you could just change it to Meegan and no one would be the wiser. Because, really, isn’t it a great name? Em, long eee, g-a-n. Meegan. Like Megan, but fresher and cooler. I’m just sayin’.
Marta Magda Morgan Mathilda?

mimi?
mali?
maayan?
meira?
meirav?

OMG it’s probably very obvious and no one can guess?!
i’m bedazzled

Ok, so this has gotten so out of control I just HAD to join in. I have two guesses; one traditional and one uncommon: Marilyn or Minka?
I Can’t wait to find out! Hoping the rest of your pregnancy is wonderful!
My daughter’s name is Mary Olivia. I loved it when we picked it and I still think it’s a great name. Mary is such a common name, but no one really uses it anymore. Truth be told, we’re really not that adventurous when it comes to names. My son’s name is Sam. Enjoy the last couple weeks of your pregnancy.
Monistat? =)
Is it Micha! or Mikka? Minka? Sorry just watched an episode of Friday Night LIghts last night
.-= Jammer´s last blog ..Oh, how I can’t wait until you go on sale… =-.
Mae?
Miranders?
Merby?
Menley? Marcail? Marisol? Is there some sort of prize?
Taking my best guess here with: Melena
Maile.
Ok, I’m guessing again…I just can’t stop!
May
Morgan
Mara
Matelyn
Hmmm, do I have to guess the middle name too?
Maybe Mari?
maite

I am pissed I missed the name guessing name, that is my favorite part of friend’s being pregnant. Other than then FOR ONCE, them being fatter than me.
No one’s guessed it yet, Aimee!
.-= Aimee Greeblemonkey´s last blog ..The Funny Things Kids Say =-.
No guesses on the name, but maybe you could please give some information on that beautiful yellow bag in the photo with you?
It’s Kate Spade.
