*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.

June 9, 2010 at 8:12 amOh 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!

June 9, 2010 at 10:29 amI’m going to guess Marguerite for Whoolita’s name because it’s my grandma and my daughter’s name and I clearly like it.

June 9, 2010 at 11:45 amtrying 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.

June 9, 2010 at 12:45 pmSomething 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….

June 9, 2010 at 5:22 pmAck, 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!
Meegan
June 9, 2010 at 7:10 pmIs 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’.
