Yay that's so exciting!! We just redid the boys' room with our tax returns this past spring and got them a bunk bed, they love it! It's so much fun picking out the stuff for their room. :) What theme are you doing for her room / what theme is the nursery?
I LOVE the name Winter! It's always been one of my favorite girls names. Autumn too. DH doesn't like either of them though, sadly. And funny enough I loved the name Ember as well! I had mentioned that one to DH back in 2016 before we knew that DS2 was a boy... he vetoed it instantly because he "did stuff" with a girl named Ember when he was younger and said that's all he would be able to think of. MEN... lol! :sigh:
And the hyper sense of smell has been with me since day one!! Honestly since 7dpo.. no joke, haha. It's always the earliest symptom for me and I've def still got it. And yep, lot's of smells make me nauseous! I can't even open the fridge right now without holding my breath because some of the leftovers in there are SO strong.
I love the name Evi and that's so sweet to honor your friend like that! [emoji813]
I LOVE that name!! I actually just saw it in a name post on reddit and loved it so much, I mentioned it to DH as a possible middle name! He vetoed it unfortunately. He's really picky, apparently. I think it's beautiful, though. :)
YUP same with the smells! I remember a couple weeks back DH went to kiss me and I recoiled in horror because all I could smell was the peanuts on his breath, from a Snickers ice cream bar that he had eaten at least 30 minutes earlier... lol!! I can smell the shampoo on my kids' hair days after it's been washed! Pregnancy nose is wild. I can't look at food I don't like/can't tolerate either... We went out to dinner for our anniversary on Saturday night, DH got filet mignon (his favorite!) and I literally had to look away or put my hand up when he was eating bites! LOL. Just the sight of the beef made a gag rise!
As for us... I'm pretty sure we've finalized our name choices! I originally wanted Zoey for a girl, it's been my #1 for YEARS. However, it's rising in popularity now, I think it's in the top 100 in the US, and one of DS1's classmates is named Zoey. I don't like popular names. So, our frontrunner is now Mylene! [emoji813] It's pronounced like my-LEAN. If anyone's seen the show The Get Down on Netlflix, Mylene Cruz is one of the main characters on the show! It's uncommon, and I loved it from the minute I first heard it. It also flows perfectly with our last name. :) We were unsure on boys, but I happened across another name post on reddit talking about names people came to like from fictional characters, and one of them was Miles -- from Miles Morales on Into the Spiderverse. I mentioned it to DH and he agreed too! It also flows really well with our last name. It's not 100% set it stone, but so far it's the only boy name that we've both really liked and agreed on. I also love that our frontrunners are Mylene and Miles, almost like two different variations of the same name. :)
Crossing ALL of my fingers and toes that we get our Panorama results tomorrow! I don't think my heart can take anymore waiting :nails:
