Ask me anything...or tell me anything.

styme46 · March 2012

I am saving all the work I have to do this afternoon when our helper will be here so I can show her the ropes so I'm currently bored out of my mind. So ask me anything or tell me anything or do something to entertain me!

And........................................... GO!

Is B excited for the new baby?

Have you guys picked a name?

Have you decided if you're going to completely change your last name or hyphenate it?

Is B excited for the new baby? Very! Although this morning she said she didn't want a brother or sister now after all and I told her it was too late!

Have you guys picked a name? We have a first name sort of picked out that can go with either a boy or a girl, but we are waiting until we have our ultrasound next month to decide for sure. At first I didn't like the name he threw out I typed threw up first haha), but it's growing on me....if he'll let me use the middle name I want to use (I want to use my dad's middle name as the middle name).

Have you decided if you're going to completely change your last name or hyphenate it? A is pretty against me hyphenating it so I'll probably completely change it. He thinks my arguement for hyphenating is silly and was actually really upset when I brought it up. It's not a super huge deal to me so changing it completely isn't that big of a deal.

Maybe you've already said this but are you hoping for a boy or a girl. Obviously just having a healthy baby is priority but...if you had to pick one gender...

Kids are so up and down. She's going to love being a big sister I'm sure. Maybe she just had a moment when she realized she'll have to share everything now, lol. I think it's great you're going to honor your Dad like that. I was also hoping for more from you about the last name change. That's one of my many dilemmas. I know it may seem trivial in the grand scheme of things, but I just don't want my son to ever feel like he's not a true part of the family b/c of his name...

How much time are you going to take off for mat. leave?

I know your honey travels a lot for work is he going to be able to get some time off for the baby?

Are you nervous about being a mommy again?

Are you worried about the age gap in your children and if/how it will affect their relationship with one another?

I would love to have a boy since we already have B. And I've been looking at boy bedding and boy stuff....I just have a feeling it's a boy. But I would be perfectly happy with another girl too. A wants a boy, obviously, and keeps telling me that if it isn't a boy, we're sending it back. I tell him we're sending it back through him then cuz it sure isn't going back the same way it comes out!

I'm hoping that with her being older though, she'll totally understand that. And she might get to a point in her life where she wants to have A adopt her and then we'd change her name to match ours.

How much time are you going to take off for mat. leave? I'm taking my full 12 weeks. I'm so excited I could spit! I'll probably work a little bit from home, but a lot of what I do involves money and I can't really take that home with me so we'll see how much I actually do.

I know you honey travels a lot for work is he going to be able to get some time off for the baby? He's actually been home for like 6 months. He's looking for something local so he won't have to travel, but if a job does come up, he can pretty much pick and choose what jobs he does so he has quite a bit of leeway to tell them no if he eneds to.

Are you nervous about being a mommy again? Kind of, but not too bad yet. I miss having a baby around so I'm not nervous about that part. I'm more nervous about how the last 2 months of my pregnancy and labor will go since my delivery experience the first time around was far from what I ever invisioned!

Are you worried about the age gap in your children and if/how it will affect their relationship with one another? Not really. I've known sibilings that are close together in age that get along great and some that don't. I also know siblings that are spaced out it age that get along great and some that don't. There's 6 or 7 years between A and his sister and they get along great so I hope that will be the case for our kids.

How as the douchey ex-H been with B?

Have you and A ever considered having him adopted B?

Sgt M's Wife:

How as the douchey ex-H been with B? Douchey like always. He has a new gf that he lives with. She has 3 kids apparently and they live close to us, or so I hear.

Have you and A ever considered having him adopted B? We've talked about it numerous times, but in order for him to do so, xh would have to give up his parental rights. And while I think he would do it if it meant he didn't have to pay me child support any more, that isn't the case so I don't think he would do it. Plus, she loves her dad and we have really been dead set on her making up her own mind about him. So if SHE decides later down the road that she would like to explore that option, we'll let her. I did tell him when he got arrested in November that the next time he gets arrested, I'll go to court to get full custody and his reply was "k", so there's that.

I grew up in a house with 3 different last names, and it never affected me at all. My mom didn't change her last name the second time, and my (step)dad and little sister have his last name, and my brother and I have my father's name.
