Hey there. Thanks for remembering me! I think so far so good. The company seems great to work for and everyone has been friendly. Not so good is that my cell phone doesn't work at all in my office as it used to be a classified area. How am I going to keep up here??

I have weird name rules. They can't be in the top 50 is my number 1. I like this rule. I don't want them super out there like we made them up but definitely nothing common. We still get people who ask is how we came up with Atticus and seem very confused by Xander. Shrug. I thought I did good with DD (Mallory). It wasn't even in the top 1,000. Her pre-k class had 14 kids and there was another Mallory.

wineallthetime I always loved being Team Green. So much fun. Madison told me she wants another sister tonight. She's been on us for a while about that. Sorry kid. Unless we have Mistaka, Condomus Brokus, or Unplannedia that's not in the works. Keep hanging around here and your chances are pretty good.

C has a friend named Mallory he always talks about, such a cute name.

I don't think we have very weird names and both of them are very uncommon over here. I like this ☺️.

I doubt my kids will run into too many kids with the same name as them, especially my daughter. We do call her Lue/LueLue though and I do think a lot of people use those nicknames for Lucy or other Lou names.

She's just as feisty as June carter (who was the inspiration for her name). And I love luelue as a nickname, super sweet.

My job is really hectic and disorganized. I hope it will get better in a month or two. But right now it's incredibly frustrating because I'm trying to keep everybody happy and feel like it's my fault but it's not my fault everything being done is last minute, i just started too. Totally not how I'm used to functioning because I'm a planner.

FX that things improve snoopmommymom at work, it's so hard being new and trying to change things, fit in and learn everything all at once, How is everyone adjusting to you working? Daycare going well? Please tell me Z is sleeping for you...

I tried to get on here all day yesterday, and was able to read but never post. Congratulations cagoldi! How are you feeling today? Re: names, I didn't want top 10, but I wanted something that was known. And what's funny is i didn't want a gender neutral name, and somehow I never thought about the fact that while Samuel is not super common, Samantha is. He's the only boy sam in his school but there are 3 girl Sam's! B wasn't super common around here when we named him and on the names list was around 25 and all of a sudden jumped up and is top 10. So I guess I failed on both counts

Daycare going well? Please tell me Z is sleeping for you... O is having a tough transition to his new school. He cries at drop off and frequently tells me he doesn't want to go to school there. I think he just doesn't do well with change and he misses his old friends. I hope he starts liking it soon. I feel bad for him. Z is fine at school. She's happy. Still doesn't sttn. This upcoming week will be her first full week at day care so I hope her sleep will start improving.

Landon wasn't super common when we named him, but now it is. We thought about naming Landon aiden until we toured a daycare when I was pregnant and there was like 4 aidens in the class. Lucas isn't uncommon per say, but we've never had another Lucas in his class. I've never met another Ryland.

Known to everyone, but not a ton of them around in this age group.

There are a ton of Declan's around where we live. There are two Skylar's in O's new class. One a girl and one a boy. So far we haven't encountered another O or Z. But it bugs me that people's New York accent makes them mispronounce Z. I thought we picked full proof names that couldn't be mispronounced or misspelled.
