Specialization

So I am considering starting a second blog, don't worry my random rants and raves shall continue! I am just thinking of something more specialized like a mommy blog. Now there are TONS of mommy blogs out there so I have to think of a way to be different and interesting and I am not sure how to do that. I know that a lot of the mommy blogs that I read have very large sections on coupons and sales and savings, but unfortunately I do not have the time to do that much research because I have a full time job. Other blogs are focused on product reviews and recommendations, and unfortunately I do not have the money to put into getting the best and the newest to review all the time. So this leaves me somewhere in the middle. I want to be sure to incorporate the money saving tips and coupons because I love them. I want to incorporate the product review, both for mom and child, I just can't do it all the time. And I think that I want to share things that I have learned from the raising of my child, soon to be children, so that other moms and caregivers can learn from my successes and failures. So perhaps this is where I want to go...the mommy blog for the busy mommy. A daily, possibly more, summary of my survival of the day and things that made it good, bad, or hide under the covers horrible! Is there any interest in something like this? Just basing my blog on what I know and what I have learned in real life, with the assistance of mommy bloggers and parent sites for the specialists. I think this might be the route that I am going to go...now what do I call it???

Tomorrow's The Day

So finally tomorrow we find out the sex of the baby. I will be 19 weeks and 4 days...and it is killing me not knowing who I am carrying around with me. We keep asking Liam whether he wants a baby brother and he says yes, but then we ask him if he would like a baby sister and he says yes...we are hopeful that he only gets one :-)

We already have the names picked out:

Alexander Brayden (Lex) - Alexander because it is a classic, strong name and partially after Alexander the Great - Brayden because I love that name, but it is too common these days to make it the first name

Eliza-Beth Katherine (Liza or EB) - Eliza-Beth is after my recently deceased mom's middle name, Elizabeth and Katherine is a name that I swore to my mom's mom (Mamall) that I would name my little girl if I ever had a girl. I love it as a first name, but Katherine is soooo common that I just couldn't do that.

Now I am of course pulling for a little girl, and for more than one reason. 1) Balance...then we have the big brother to protect our little girl and we will always know what is going on in kid culture LOL 2) for my mommy. I miss her so much every day and I think that there is nothing better I could do for her than to have a little girl. 3) I want to dress someone up in frilly little dresses and Bill won't let me get a purse-sized puppy! lol

Well I guess that is it...we have no control over who it is going to be and we are going to love them no matter what. I promise to post the results!
