What's Shakin With The Schaeperklaus': And We Have A Name!!

It has taken us a month to decide but we finally have a name! I am so excited and glad I can get down to business....monogramming! For some reason this time it was SOOOOO much harder to pick a name than it was with Parker. I felt pressure to really get it right...last time with Parker, I just knew that was his name. We were able to narrow it down to two choices pretty easily.(Like the day we found out it was a girl!) From there it was a lot of back and forth, I like this name but still like this name, does it sound right, will it fit the way she looks...blah blah blah! Well, I knew I didn't want to wait until she was born to name her and I couldn't possibly make this hard decision...so it was all up to Mark. He actually had the same trouble deciding as I did!! The names to decide between were: Allie Paige(double name) and Paige Asher(just go by Paige). Then Mark made it even more difficult and threw in a switcheroo...he said what about Asher Paige instead of Paige Asher!? I was like..."You're killing me smalls!" I didn't care either way, as long as he picked a name!! I kept giving him deadlines of when he had to pick a name and they passed. So yesterday I told him that a great birthday present for today would be a name for our baby girl!!(Today is my birthday and I'm the big 3-0! Whoa!) Anywho, Mark decided and now that I'm posting it on the blog it will be official! Kinda makes me nervous but here we go! Guess I've dragged this out long enough!!! Our sweet Miss Priss, Baby Girl, Sassy Pants will be named: Paige Asher!!!! Shwew!! There it is! She's been named! I've always liked the name Paige(which happens to be a family name...way up the family tree!) and Asher is my middle name! I also like saying Parker and Paige together! Brother and Sister...Parker and Paige! AND they will have the same initials!! Can't you just picture them in matching outfits with their matching monogram!?!? Oh yeah...I'm going to do it! Now, let the monogramming begin!!!!

On a side note, I would like to thank my friends for the sweet birthday wishes and for getting together this past Saturday night to have a surprise dinner for me! You guys are the best! I was totally surprised! Since I didn't know about it I didn't have my camera with me and only got these two pictures at the end of dinner after everyone left with Mark's phone. Dern! Just means we'll have to get together again right?!?!
