It's all in the name..... maybe

I have known for a long time what my girl name would be... it's a name that I love and although I know not everyone is a huge fan I think it is a name that will age well with our daughter. I have not shared the name with everyone because I keep getting mixed reviews and to be honest I find it really irritating. If I had waited to tell those people her name would they have told me how much they disliked it after it was already her name..... I bet not.

No matter what anyone else has to say her name is decided upon and the only thing that could change it would be if she was born and just did not fit the name and I really don't think that is going to happen.

So for those of you who may not know...... he name is going to be Harper. We are still debating on a middle name for her. Originally it was going to be my middle name but I am just not sure that it works well with Harper. There is one other name we have in consideration and while I am not going to share it with everyone I know if we choose it we will be making alot of M's family happy.

And then there was this....
The pop star-turned-fashion designer and her soccer star husband David Beckham welcomed daughter Harper Seven Beckham at 7:55 a.m. Sunday, July 10 in Los Angeles, their rep tells PEOPLE.

Victoria Beckham gave birth to her daughter today. I am happy for her and seeing that we have picked the same name is nice but I really don't want a top 10 name for this baby. I know I am jumping to conclusions when I say that her naming her daughter Harper is going to make it popular but it could.... and it just might.

I guess all I have to say is that I was not going to let negative people ruin her name for me and I am not going to let a celeb ruin it either.

Her name is going to be Harper and I like it. Wait a minute I LOVE it.

New stroller!!

We got a new stroller today and I am so excited for it's potential!

We got the Baby Jogger City Select and I am so excited for all of the different ways we can use this stroller. While we are still a one baby family we can use it in single mode and when the new baby joins us he will already be use to the stroller.

See all the combinations this thing can do:
