*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.
Morgan! Minerva! Macy! Mara! Mallory! Marlys! (I did not check to see if these were already guessed, but I’m pretty sure I didn’t guess them yet.)

Marian?
Too bad it’s not Molly – I like my name, even though I often hear that people have named their pets (dogs, cats, birds, and once, a donkey) Molly.
Is it Mazzy? That’s my daughter’s name and a hard one to guess :)
congrats on the new baby!
.-= Missy Wiggins´s last blog ..Techno in a tube. =-.
Hmm… I’m going to guess Maura, Marina, Mason, Meris, Miriam, Maitland, Matilda, or Moon-Unit.
haha your posts always make me laugh. I’ve been getting weird energy spurts around 11 too…Hmmm… I don’t think it means I’m 37 weeks preggers though.
Oh and is there any chance that her name is actually Mo? Just checkin.
.-= Jammer´s last blog ..Bed Bugs and Crying Dudes =-.
Hooray, the baby! I can’t wait to see her :D You’re SO CLOSE! I can’t believe you’re SO CLOSE!
.-= velocibadgergirl´s last blog .. =-.
Something good, something good…ok!
If that is a picture of your belly at 37 weeks, you are TINY. I was that big at like 30 weeks. And is that a wedding band? Again, TINY.
Maisy? Marleigh? Melba?
Maeve, Maven, Makena, Mara
This mystery is keeping me up at night and I don’t have a kid’s room to creep around in!!
(her) Majesty???
Can’t wait for the big reveal. Did you get your Toms yet??
I went to a sweeeet jewelry showing on Sunday and am giving a piece away tomorrow. Would look great on you. Just sayin. Her Majesty might want it in a few years too…:)
I did get my TOMS and they are cuter than EVER!!
.-= Carrie´s last blog ..Everything That Glitters: Melinda Maria =-.
I can’t wait for the big reveal. I want to know her name!
I can’t help you on the defunkifying though, sadly, as I am in a rather funky place myself (the bad kind).
I’m sorry, Sizz. :( I wish we could hang out and defunkify together.
.-= sizzle´s last blog ..Not Good Enough =-.
I had a dream that you named her Sage. And it just felt right. Clearly that doesn’t start with an M.
My grandmother’s middle name is Olivette. I’m hoping you went with Olivia. Or Owen.
Matilda Owen James
I think it has a nice ring to it.
I’m going to guess Myrna for a first name. Or maybe Maura. Or Moira. Or Mamie. Or Maeve. Or Maren. Or Mael. Okay, I’m stopping now. There are so many good M names!
Cannot wait! She will be darling! How about Linda jr.? Love to you, Helen Ford Wallace
Ok so after going back and reading all the comments on the other post I can see that my pick is not correct. That’s fine. I’ll just tuck that name away for someone else.
There were a lot of M names mentioned. Hard to think of one that wasn’t.
Michael? But maybe spelled Mykel or something like that.
I’m sure whatever it is, it’s lovely.
I’m going to go ahead and guess my own unusual name: Mylène, pronounced like this: http://tinyurl.com/cuh4zw
I totally stalked the last post to see what M names had been guessed. It must be an awesome name if it’s even better than the ones mentioned! Can’t wait to hear what it is!
Monica! Has this been guessed already?
To match with Anders’ Scandi name heritage…Marit? I adore the name – and its meaning of “pearl” – and can totally see it on your lil’ one. It’s on my short list!
Aha! I was wondering why you were making moves on Words With Friends around midnight. Mystery solved!
.-= Angella´s last blog ..Sometimes No Means Yes =-.
I stand by my guess above, but I also love Merrill/Meryl, Malin, Maren, Matilda and Maude. Can’t wait for the big reveal :)
So…something good? Well! I’m trying out for…(wait for it) ROLLER DERBY. I’m sort of crapping my pants over here. In an awesome way.
I’m hereby sharing all of my girly M names (from my ridiculous list of 17! girl names), just for fun, and maybe just in case I totally win the prize (there is a prize, right? RIGHT?) of guessing your Baby Bean’s name.
Mallory (which I already shared in the last post, I think)
Michael
Meggan
Mae
Margot
Marina (Mena)
I love! talking about names.
(“It’s the Baby Bean show!” might be the cutest thing ever, by the way.)
Oh, I READ about the Derby, Miss Kerr. You ROCK THE CASBAH.

Manon? Miette? And those energy surges are there to make sure you’re all prepared for the baby! Like, are you sure you’ve washed the onesies a dozen times and folded and re-folded them? No? Now get to it!
.-= jora´s last blog ..Way Too Much Cute Stuff. =-.
Something good, huh? Well, I’m 38 weeks today and our OBGYN couldn’t REACH MY CERVIX IT’S SO HIGH AND CLOSED.
My daughter will never arrive. EVER.
Oh, we’re naming her Mia. Could that be your name, as well?
My friend had a baby last night, a little girl named Piper. She was 2 weeks overdue.
And my sister had a baby today, a little girl named Madeline!
BABY GIRLS EVERYWHERE! And soon to be little MO!
.-= Kristabella´s last blog ..Grill Next Door =-.
I have convinced myself as I read more and more name guesses that it’s Mercer Olivia. Probably not, but I’m just putting it out there again…..and I’m bored at work.
i kept my daughter poppy’s name under strict lock and key until her birth… her grandparents were NOT happy about that one! heh.
also, i gave birth at 37 weeks! so fun when i see people at that same stage; i always get nostalgic.
hope the rest of your pregnancy is easy & relatively comfortable. can’t wait to see baby girl & find out her name!
cheers!
Still no dice, my friends!

Blahhhh, June Gloom indeed. We were in LA this past week and it was so depressing what with the weather being so … grey. A year ago this time it was really pretty. ::sigh:: Guess we’ll just hafta come back sooner rather than later.

Well, I don’t know what YOUR baby is going to be called but I sure am stockpiling a nice list of girls names here for when I have my own baby! This is better than the Baby Name Wizard.
.-= Nothing But Bonfires´s last blog ..So Much To Say =-.
Maureen, Magdalena, Massa (dunno, it’s in my family tree), Melia, Mergin (family tree again, from the Netherlands), Myrtle, Malvina, Marretje.

Marn? Marni? Marta? Mara? Marit? Marja? Going with the Scandinavian theme… Hope you are feeling well.
.-= hikooky´s last blog ..to the arboretum =-.
I’m going with Melanie.. Just cause no one else has guessed it and I love that name.:D
This name guessing thing is driving me crazy…I found myself thinking of “M” names all day!
I am going with Margot/Margaux/Margeaux as well. Very classy.
Or did someone guess Margit already?
AHH! Put us out of our misery already!
I went to grade school with a girl named Maybelline, so I’m going to guess that.
I AM RIGHT, AREN’T I?
Defunk? Okay, I’m exactly as pregnant as you – with a girl – and she is NEVER going to arrive. She seems quite content in there. I haven’t even packed a bag. Denial is a wonderful place.
That didn’t help? Okay I’m twice your size. You’re the teenist tiniest 37w pregnant lady EVER. Your shirt fits. Mine doesn’t. My husband’s don’t. And your hair is fabulous! (That’s my favorite compliment ever.)
Mason?
I am still in with a vote for Marlow(e)… That has to be it…. The suspense is killing me…
.-= Allison´s last blog ..HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!! =-.
Marit?
Ok so that has been squashed – I just rechecked the last post where I originally said that name…. UGH!
So, what about Millie or Maddy?
mabry?
missy?
mindy?
melinda?
mackie?
monday?
may?
