Baby name woes!




I am glad we are not having a girl! We would have never agreed to a name...hubby hates cutesy names and I love them...after so many years of marriage you start realizing your difference in so many ways...I wish there was a thorough check list pre marriage...but when you are going out and engaged you do not know the other person's parenting style and o so many things...but I guess no two people are going to agree on everything 100%...and baby names is one of those things....




When I got pregnant with Ziad his name was decided on the same day I did the pregnancy test...hubby wanted to name the baby after his brother who passed away 23years ago...and his story was very touching to me that I had no problems with the name..it is a cute name...and ziad does love his name! during that pregnancy we could not agree on a girl name...if ziad was a girl he would still be without a name!




With Bilal I picked the name...hubby was not crazy about the name but got used to it..I used the you picked Zozo's name , it is my turn now....and it worked....and Bilal's name suits him and he does love his name too...all day long he spells it out...B-I-L-A-L BILAL...and his name is written all over books, notebooks, sheets of paper, a wall, a table...




Well now with baby boy #3....I want to name the baby Omar....I like the name...hubby likes it too..with one problem! Leave it to hubby to come up with this one! He will only agree to the name if the boys can say 30mar and not Omar! So the boys have three months to perfect the letter 3...sometimes they get it right but mostly it is an O sound....I tell him that by naming their brother Omar they will have get enough practice using the letter and perfect it...




So far he has not come up with an alternatives...MEN!

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

It is getting cold here...not heavy jacket cold...but I have to put away my short sleeve shirt, Capri's and tank tops...and get out my fall clothes..

Hubby and I have been debating turning the furnace on or wait....it just feels silly turning it on in early October no???

After a winter in Amman though I can take all the cold in the world....Why is it that when the temperature is in the single digits in Canada I am able to just wear a regular PJ and not freeze, while in Amman at the same temperature I was freezing and could see my breath when going to a room that didn't have a soba and I was dressed with few layers of clothes...weird eh?





I guess this is it...summer is really gone..I have been in denial still wearing my sandals but yesterday my feet froze and made me crampy so I had to go and put my boots on...waaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh and yesterday I switched the clothes in my closet..the long sleeves went into the easily accessible area, the sweaters right behind them..and all my cute summer clothes went into the harder to reach side of my walk in closet....although I do not see the point of this, none of those clothes fit or they will not fit for long....the good news is that I will be going shopping next week while the kids are in school, so I am not too sad...who wants to wear last winter`s clothes anyways.....

Mabrook..........


Today is hubby's niece's wedding....I am so sad that we can not be there....but who gets married in October...grrrrrrrrrrrrr......it is all hubby's fault! They wanted to take it slow..get to know each other better and all...but noooooooooo he pushed them to hurry up and do the fate7a and then kateb ktab..why wait he said...well if they waited a bit the wedding would have been in the summer and we would have been able to attend...my husband and his big mouth!!


Anyways, I am so happy for them...I hope they have/are having a great wedding day and a great life together!


I wish we were there...but for so many reasons we can not go to Amman now...first the kid's school ,my growing belly, and hubby's work...(he barley worked in Ramadan it is a miracle he was not fired!) so now he has a lot of work to catch up on....


And seriously have you seen maternity formal wear?? Not very nice..although I think my brother will force me to go shopping for a formal dress when I am 8 months pregnant! I think I am going to hate my brother and his future wife when I am looking at their engagement party pictures!! But if I keep on going to the gym, and not gain more than 10more lb I think I will not hate them so much...
