Naming Game

Ok so I am going back and documenting the last month of Millie's life
so I don't forget about the stuff.
The day after Millie was born was awesome for me for selfish reasons. J.C.
had to go to school and so I got to spend the whole morning and
afternoon just holding, kissing and staring at my new little baby .
It was so nice because I got to sleep, rest, and just relax. I turned off my phone
and computer and just really fell in love with this new little
baby. At this point in time she still didn't have a
definite name I wanted Millie but J.C. wanted to name
her Millicent and just call her Millie. I was not sold on that idea
so I went back to the beginning trying to think of names I liked.
Later in the afternoon J.C. picked up Georgia and came
to the hospital to spend some time with us. Which was fun
for the first 30 min after that G was board and being crazy so we told
Linds and Pagie to come up and visit and grab G which they so nicely
did. I also didn't mention that all this time G was in the fabulous care
of Linds and Paige and she was having so much fun with her Aunts and
cousins.
On Friday they let us go home, the only problem is she still didn't have a name.
At 7:30 a nurse came in and got all of our paper work done
they asked if we had finished filling out her birth certificate?
Nope we still hadn't figured out a name. We were both being hard
headed and wouldn't let down. At about 10 o'clock I got so irritated
and said ok well since we won't back down lets start over so we both
started saying names we liked. I liked some and he liked some but
we hated each others names. Then we decided to make a pro and
cons list about naming her Millie vs. Millicent. I have to say that the
list was pretty funny it was things like
JC likes, Tiana likes, Georgia says it cute, but nothing really to
help us decide. Then I talked to my mom she like both names
and couldn't figure out why it was taking us so long. My mom said
just give in. In the end you will always call her Millie so if he wants
it that bad just give it to him. After thinking about it I obviously was
ok naming her Millicent, but in return I got naming rights on the
next kid. So next time we won't be having the same problem. hahaha
We finally made it home that afternoon at 4:00 p.m. Yep it took
us all day to decide. Here are some pics of our first 2 day's with Millie.
And the visitors we had in the hospital.
G loves hoding her and keep saying " I'm a big sister"
Two of my best friends came to visit
Nanny made it to New York the day after Millie was
born and stayed for the 10 day's of her life. We were so grateful
that she was able to come and take care of us. I don't know what
I would do with out her.
Pagie was in the hospital room with us and took such good care
of G while I was in the hospital. We will always be greatful for her.
Linds and the girls also came up to help with G and meet there
new little cousin
And then it was time to go home with our newly named
Millicent Liljenquist
