The new name we've chose has a beautiful meaning. It rings true for so many reasons but most of all for how much I love this baby before she's even here. The middle name is equally as classy and after someone who is always going to be near and dear to mine and Jim's heart. The flow it has with Riley Virginia and Olivia Mae is fantastic and since I'm a nickname fan, this name will appease me on both happy go lucky days and at times I need to shout her full name in anger to get my point across. I'm happy to finally feel set on a name, as I've been wavering for quite a while now. The few family members I've told have all fell in love with it too which is awesome since they were big "Macy" fans and I thought for sure they'd be giving me more room to doubt my own likes and dislikes. I will reveal the name soon enough, I'm sure, but for now, it's my little secret to keep :)
Another very recent development is that we have chose Godparents for our children, which is pretty random I know, but after one of my famous uber-lifelike dreams, I figured it was not only necessary but a responsibility I should have already taken care of. We want nothing but the best
for our children even after we are gone. What parent wouldn't? We don't have much of
anything to our name, but we do have them and want to ensure that if
we are to die prematurely that they are well taken care of by people
we know love them and that share the same morals and convictions as
we do. That is why we have chosen my wonderful brother Aaron and his equally wonderful lady as guardians of our girls if we are to leave this earth too soon.

We took em out to lunch where we started that almost-depressing conversation and I could see the pride and honor in Aaron's eyes to know that we love, care and trust in him enough to leave the most precious things we've ever created to him. The only thing we ask of them is to exercise patience, shower the girls with love,
to give them the attention that they deserve and to remind them all the
time how much we love and adore every single thing about them. We
chose Aaron & Theresa knowing their hearts and trusting their judgment and knowing they will step up and do as
well as we ever could at giving them a happy life should we not be
here to do so ourselves. Wow, tears are flowing again!
In other news, with Thanksgiving so close and the rest of the holidays getting closer themselves, I've decided to start posting more in a more regular pattern so that I don't get overwhelmed with finding new mindless conversations to have with myself and you all will have consistent content to enjoy! Sundays will now be dedicated to updating my Project Life weeks on time as well as for any personal updates. Mondays will be a bit random, with personal/pregnancy updates, mindless chatter, links to other great blog posts and all that jazz! Mindless Mondays, if you will. Wednesdays, for the time being, will have some delicious recipes and awesome craft tutorials. I'd like to eventually turn that into "Weight Loss Wednesday" after the baby is born to keep me on track and to possibly inspire you all too! Last but not least, Friday will be all about FREE swag like PL filler cards, templates and more. And yes, I said swag like a cool kid, so don't be square and check back on those days for updates at Says Chelsea!
