Day 118 - Mommy Confessions and What's in a Name

Good Afternoon Everyone :) This is going to be short because I feel like death and I must get some work done if Im going to take tomorrow off :) Today I am doing two link ups:
#1 are my girls Ms. Megan at Memoirs of Megan and Ms. Heather at Cookies for Breakfast for:
The Memoirs of Megan
Today I confess that:
This past weekend, when we were staying in our hotel room - I slept with A and not my husband...one - I thought that she would fall asleep better (as any mom with a 3 year old will contest - hotel rooms and 3 year olds dont mix...)and 2 - I really enjoy sleeping with her.  Now, I knew that this would backfire...and man has it - last night as well as the night before Baby Girl has been trying to sleep with Mommy at 3:19 in the morning, and even threw a full on fit last night when I wouldnt go snuggle/watch tv with her at 3 o'clock in the AM :( I knew I would pay the price, but man, I wish she would stay in her own bed!
My second link up is with Ms. Amanda at My Very Own Modern Family for:
Where we discuss how we came up with the names for our children/pets fish :)
I came up with my daughter's name Amelia.  My husband named her middle name James after his Dad and my maternal Grandfather.  I had been searching for a feminine, yet classic name for my daughter and I kept saying to everyone, "I want something feminine and classic, like Amelia" and then one day the light bulb went off and I thought, well why not Amelia :) I love her name and I think it's perfect for her.  Some of the top contenders were Lorelei and Layla - but turns out my ex-best friend's daughter is named Layla (spelled differently) so it's a good thing we stuck it out with Amelia :) Lorelei is beautiful and Irish sounding (the hubs is half Irish) but it would always remind me of the Gilmore Girls...so Amelia it is :)  Now onto our pet fish, Amelia named him Puzzle :) She is obsessed with puzzles :)

Alright folks, that's it :) See you tomorrow!

  2. Hahaha, I always sleep better with V compared to my husband. She doesn't snore in my face and karate chop me when she rolls over (yet)
    Thanks a ton for linking up!

  3. Somedays I contemplate grabbing my 3 yr old and sleeping with him on the couch, so I completely understand! Hopefully she'll get back into routine and you can have some peaceful nights again!

  4. I love classic names. Amelia is beautiful!
    I've tried sleeping with my little man, but he wants none of it. *tear* I'm hoping when he gets a little older he'll appreciate snuggles with mommy.

  5. I LOVE Amelia! That's totally on my girl name list! And I love it in combination with James like you guys picked! Beautiful and classic and unique.

    As for the hotel sleeping - I get it! We finally got Ben in his crib after he slept in our room/bed for a year. It's just nice to have your little one there to snuggle with!

    Thanks for linking up with us again!!
