Today I had the last of the homestudy visits. I am so relieved. I think that is the best word to describe it, 'relieved'. This time the meeting was at our home. Levi was in constant motion, exited, nervous, and not sure how to act. He loved the social worker, and I think he saw her as a big kid. He was quite funny now that I think about it. I admit to be that embarrassed parent as he jumped on her again and again. She seemed to tolerate it quite well. There is something about social workers that I think makes Levi regress a little bit. I am not sure why, but I think that he can just sense that a person is a social worker and he acts up some. He did the same thing at every visit my first social worker made.
Anyway, now it will be about two weeks to wrap everything up, and then I think my paperwork should be on its way. This is moving so fast! I am getting more and more excited.
We are trying to think of a name for our baby girl. So far the best plan is to steal the name that my sister is going to possibly name their next baby. This is Levi's plan at least. I keep telling him that Aunt Sarah may never talk to us again; his response is that we both can use the name.
Baby girl, you don't have a name from us yet, but we love you! We are pretty sure you are out there in the world already. We can't wait to meet you.

Those are some of my favorites, but you can steal one if you like it. The chances of us having another girl in the house are slim! ;)
Beth, I am excited too. It is awesome to watch Levi with other children. He is competitive and tender at the same time. He has radar for feelings though he doesn't know what to do with them sometimes. He deserves a baby sister. Love, DAD
Do you need name books? I think I have a couple. There are some neat websites too. So much fun!
So excited for you!!!
I have some favorites, too, that I wouldn't mind you "stealing":
Madeline (French: tower)
Maeve (Irish: intoxicating)
Makena (from Africa: happy one)
Makaila (Hebrew: who is like God)
Yes, they're all "M" names. I decided that if I ever have a baby girl, I'm going to use an M name. Not the most original idea, but hey, there are so many great names out there, you have to narrow it down somehow!
Good luck! I'm sure it's so exciting to think up names when you know there's actually a baby out there waiting for the name...
I like "M" names too. :) I am narrowing down the list and I know that by the time we get her home, she is going to have the name that is perfect for her.
