I go to Simi Valley hospital, which was amazing, by the way. I knew their terrible reputation but the intake nurse pretty much jumped (leaving some guy with a hurt foot) to wheel me upstairs. The new building is just gorgeous and the nurses were fantastic. All is well, as soon as the monitor was strapped on my belly she started having a dance party. Such a stinker.

This brings me to the name dilemma we are facing. From the moment I knew I was pregnant I knew baby's name would be Madeleine but I could not come up with a middle name. It's not an easy name to match something with. I decided on M'Liss which is my sweet Mama's name. It's the only thing that sounded right. (Notice I am saying I and not we, Aaron has not had a lot of input thus far.) But my darling light of my life niece Evynn's middle name is M'Liss and I did not want to stir anything up family wise or take something away from her.Our little friend Amanda REALLY wants us to name the baby Joy so that both girls have holiday names, which I would have liked. Joy was a no go but Aunt Lorrie pointed out that Madeleine Joy is really pretty. I do like it! Importantly, so does her Daddy, he was not hip on M'Liss for whatever reason but did not have any input so I told him too bad. Now I am conflicted even more. I also wanted our kids to have family middle names....no one in our family remotely has a name sounding like Joy. It's not a name I ever particularly liked but neither is Noelle.
So......Madeleine Joy Jones???
