Happy Birthday To Me!

This past Sunday was my birthday and it was fantastic!!!
Woke up to breakfast in bed, then laid in bed and relaxed/read until 11am.
Went down stairs and had chocolate peanut butter cup ice cream with cherries on top for lunch.
Went to the Spa and had a hot stone massage and facial.
Went out to dinner at the French Broad Chocolate Lounge (truffles and gourmet brownies)
Followed by Salad for dessert 🙂
Got taken out to Hot Springs for a dip in the mineral springs.
Drove home and slept like a baby!
And guess what Toby got me for my birthday?

Knocked up! 🙂

Kaia is very happy she is finally going to be a big sister!

I’m feeling fine so far, but I’m only a month pregnant! So, now we need something to call this little bit for the next 8 months, until it comes out and has a name….

CONTEST!! Woohoo!

Kaia thinks we should call the baby “Flower”, or “Daisy”… I suggested “The Mooch” (“9 month parasite” just sounds too harsh:-)) … Since it’s out second child, Toby likes “#2” or “Deuce” (I think they both sound a bit fecal :-))

What do you think? What shall we call our Embryo?

  1. Hi Maria….i emailed with you a month or so ago about purchasing bulk herbs. I live in CHapel Hill and have just found your blog recently. Congrats! We also are pregnant with our second, due in May, and we tend to call the unborn babe “Perry” instead of parasite 🙂
    Great blog… and i am still trying to get to Asheville to your shop before the new addition arrives!

  2. Oh congratulations! How exciting and a great birthday present! I have no idea what to suggest for a temporary name- but Moochie seems about right- LOL.
    Congrats to all of you.

  3. Congratulations! Trying for one of those critters myself…no clue on what to call it…I’m guessing “small energy-sucking urchin” doesn’t exactly improve on 9-month parasite…plus it’s a little long ::grin:: Tho’ I like Kaia’s suggestion of Flower, because it reminds me of the shy little skunk from Bambi 🙂

  4. CONGRATULATIONS!

    I have a friend who referred to her babe in utero as “Cletus the Fetus.” 🙂

  5. Our womb-name is “Elvis”. Not that we’re expecting a boy.

    Congratulations!

  6. Woohoo! Congratulations! That is very exciting news. I am FOR calling the baby Daisy, because Kaia is very smart.

  7. Wow!!!!! Congrats to the whole family!!!! Oh how wonderful, a new baby in the neighborhood!

  8. AHHHHHHH!!!!!! HOW EXCITING!!! When I saw the picture I was screaming for joy and Coal just looked at me like I was nuts….I can’t wait to tell Matty!!! He’s gonna do back flips for y’all! The house is amazing too! We’ve been peeking in on y’alls progress for awhile now and it’s so exciting!!! New Baby!!! Holy Shamoly! My friend’s baby’s name was bingo, even weeks after he was born. Have to say I kinda like it, deuce is pretty good too….Love to all y’all! And please give my love to Doris too! Trish

  9. I just sent off the e-mail saying I didn’t have any suggestions, and then I thought of one: Sprout.
