there’s no normal life, wyatt. it’s just life.

That’s a quote from Tombstone, in case you were wondering, and in case you were wondering, Tombstone is one of my all-time favorite movies. Anyway. I’m checking in to give you a general update on my life, since it doesn’t seem that I’ve done that for awhile. Some things have been happening and I’d love your feedback. Pregnancy & Health Since my hospital visit a couple weeks ago, I’ve had a bit of a rough time. It took me a week and a half to recover from my cold, and during that time I had absolutely no energy.

on a quick hospital trip

March 26, 2011

I had a fun, random Friday post set to go for yesterday, but the day didn’t go as I expected.

Before David and I knew we were having a girl, we only had a boy name picked out. We hadn’t even considered girl names because we didn’t think we could have one. Then the ultrasound happened and everything changed. There are so many girl names that I love, but it didn’t take me long to decide that I didn’t want just some name that I like, but something deeper, with roots. I wanted a family name. In the end, we chose: Meredith Meaning & Origin: Protector of the sea, English/Welsh Popularity: Number 488 in 2009 down from 276 in 1999. Why we chose it: David’s paternal grandmother was named Meredythe, and although we think that way of spelling it is…
