AND THE WINNER IS...WIGGLES!

Okay, so most you probably already have seen that Wiggles won the baby code name poll. And we have officially decided to go with Wiggles as our code name. Interestingly, after we put the poll up we learned that Wiggles is actually a family name on my (Kristol's) side. My dad told me that was the name he gave his very first puppy! So, Wiggles it is. And boy is she wiggling today!

Lulu was a surprising second as we did not actually consider that a real challenger, but you all seemed to really like it. We are already having a hard time breaking Asa's mom of the habit because she liked it so much. We also had some interesting "other suggestions." One of the most notable from our friends Amber and Kurtis was "Showgirl" or "Nomi" (the name of Elizabeth Berkley's character in Showgirls). But I put the kibosh on that. While I enjoy the Vegas reference, there are two reasons that I am against it: (1) I am already concerned about what our daughter is learning in utero given Asa's love of rap music ("Drop down and get your eagle on, girl"!?!?!) and (2) I am not among those who believe Showgirls is so bad it's good. No it's so bad, it's really, really bad. So, Wiggles it will be.

VERY CUTE THINGS...

So far, one of the best things about Wiggles being a little girl is the clothing. Asa's mom recently gave us a number of cute girl things, including the most precious sandles, a very soft and cuddly blanket, and Wiggle's first purse complete with a frog to kiss.

We also received a very cute purple and green dress and a ton of the most impossibly small diapers from Kurtis and Amber:

We lovee the dress. It is 12 month size so hopefully Wiggles will be able to wear it to her first birthday party!

MORE NESTING...

The nesting continues. Yesterday, we had a garage sale and sold a bunch of junk, which has helped with the massive storage issues we have encountered now that we are adding another person to our house. Asa's mom brought her junk over, too, and was very successful as well. I think we sold well over half of what we put out there. Once we were done, we took what was left (a good car-full) to charity and dropped it off. So, all in all, made some good cash and got a nice tax write-off. Pretty good Saturday if you ask me.
