The name game

Okay. So, my boyfriend and I are having this huge dispute over what we're going to name our baby boy. I really like the name Jossiah Joel. He hates both of those. He likes KJ, and not like short for Kelvin Jr. He wants the baby's name to be KJ (middle name) (last name). What the heck!?
I am willing to compromise. We don't have to name him Jossiah. Dad picks the first name and Mom picks the middle name. Well, dad doesn't like that idea either because he doesn't like the name Joel. So, now I'm like, let Mom pick the first name and Dad the middle name. Since he doesn't like Jossiah, I picked another name - Jacoby. Well, Dad doesn't like that name either. In fact, he doesn't know what name he likes besides KJ.
I am trying to be reasonable about this because I wouldn't feel right knowing that I did not give him a say-so in the naming of our child. But he is driving me crazy.
I like Jossiah Joel because we could call him Jo or Jo-Jo for short. And I like Jacoby Joel because we could call him Coby for short. But, Dad is being difficult.
What's a girl to do?

Oh, boy!!!

As you know, I am pregnant. As you may not know (because I just found out yesterday), I am having a boy!!! Another boy. Even though I wanted a girl, just because my boyfriend and I already had a girl name that we agreed on (Khelsea DeAnn), but now we have to play this name game all over again.
I like the name Jossiah Joel, he hates it - but he has no idea what name he likes.

I finally told my relatives that I am pregnant. Not my dad, but my aunt and uncle who are like parents to be. My uncle was really supportive, but my aunt, wasn't. She is like this Bible-freak. So, she gave me and my boyfriend this 2 hour lecture about how we need to be married and how God won't bless us because we're "shacking up." She made me feel really bad. She was basically insinuating that she would be happy for us if we were married, but because we are not married or planning on getting married she doesn't approve. I cried.

But, I'm over it now. I am happy about my baby; my boyfriend is happy about our baby, so that's all that matters.

I want a big family. Maybe I'll have a girl next time. - in 5 or 6 years (when I'm done with graduate school).

Lil Wayne Cake

The Baldwin's gave their daughter a birthday cake of rapper Lil' Wayne's head. WOW!
That thing was freaky. Don't get me wrong, I am a HUGE Wayne fan, but I would have never in a million years gotten a cake of his head. I would have never even wanted something like that. Seriously, why not just get the guy to come to your birthday celebration if you want to see him on your birthday. Really, that cake is creepy. I will never look at cake the same way.
In other news, Halloween was a total bore. I didn't take my son trick-or-treating because it was waayyy too cold. I was planning on going with the town on Friday, but the power was out half the day - so I figured they would cancel that. Not to mention the fact that it was cold and pouring down majority of the day as well. But the sun did come out at the end of the day, which was really nice. However, I did take advantage of Taco Bell's BlackJack Taco give away and Sonic's $0.50 corndog sale. I spent the day watching a "Halloween" marathon - the movie Halloween. So, it wasn't a complete waste.
I am just ready for Thanksgiving!

Hunger

I have been soooo hungry lately. All of a sudden I just have this insatiable desire to eat. I can tell that I have been eating too much because my son is getting chubby (being that he eats every time I eat).
I haven't really been craving anything except home-cooked meals. I want some soul food, or at least something made from scratch. But I don't know how to make any soul food and my grandmother lives an hour away in Delhi. But, all of that will change. When I move next month, I am going to ask her to come live with me and cook all of my meals. Hopefully she'll come.

Technology

I feel so stupid because I have no technological education whatsoever. My uncle, who is like 55, asked me to help him with something on his iPhone. I was totally clueless. All I could do was tell him that I did not know how to use it because I did not have one. When really, I can barely use a standard iPod!
On a computer, I know how to access Microsoft word and use it (the 2007 version anyway). I can access the internet, make a powerpoint or play solitaire - that's about it.
I feel like a loser because how many 20 year olds do you know who aren't like computer wizzes. Not only that, I know absolutely nothing about MySpace or FaceBook or Twitter or any of the popular social networking sites that most college students are on. I tried to create myself a MySpace page and I couldn't do it. I had to get my 16 year old cousin to help me. And MySpace is her life, so I started thinking - anything my little cousin is into can't be for me. So, I never check the page. Now I'm regretting that.

How lame am I???!

Oh, Baby!!!

Well, I'll be blunt: I'm pregnant, about 3 months now.
I wasn't exactly thrilled at the idea when I first discovered it. I immediately thought "abortion." After reconsidering and pretty much just wasting time, it was too late to get one done. So, now I'm stuck with the thing. I am beginning to accept the idea of having another baby, but I'm still not totally happy about it. My worry won't let me be totally happy. The fact that I didn't really want the thing from the beginning anyway makes me totally apathetic as to what the baby's sex will be. My boyfriend wants a girl since we already have a son - but who cares what he wants, its his fault I'm pregnant.
Even though I am apathetic about the sex, I have considered some names. For a boy, I like Jossiah Joel McCants (because my son's name is Torrian Noel McCants) or Haydden Joel McCants. My boyfriend doesn't like either of those; he wants Amani or Kelvin Jr. I hate both of those, so I reiterate - who cares what he wants, its his fault I'm pregnant. If its a girl, I decided that I would name her after my little sister, Chelsea, who passed away in 1995 - Khelsea. Her middle name will be after my mommy, Sandra Ann, who passed away in 2006 - DeAnn (Khelsea DeAnn McCants). The baby daddy likes that name because he thinks it sounds like his (his name is Kelvin, but most people call him Kel - Khelsea. That's why I threw the H in there, to let him know that she is not named after him - but she will have his initials, so he better be happy about that)!
I was also thinking of giving her my mom's first name (Sandra) and my sister's middle name (Beyonca) - CaSandra Beyonca McCants. But I don't know what I will do yet. I just like having options!

I will keep you posted on the sex and name results! :)

New Release

I recently saw "Monsters vs Aliens" and I hated it. I like have to see any cartoon movie that comes out because of my 2 1/2 year old. I really hated it. Dreamworks has really been slacking these past few years. I loved "Shrek." I thought "Bee Movie" was okay. Now this movie just sucks to me. The plot stinks, but it had a lot of action. Overall, it was just stupid. It had a good moral, though (which I thought was basically be confident). Disney is totally blowing them out of the water as far as quality. "Ratatouille," "The Incredibles," and "Cars" were all awesome! My son and I both LOVE those movies. His fave is "Cars" and my fave is "The Incredibles." I am starting to think that Dreamworks should just stick with motion pictures and leave the animation to the experts!
