So I am starting this blog to keep everyone up-to-date on our little bundle of joy on the way. When I was first pregnant, we wanted to have something to call the baby other then...the baby. I had heard of others calling the little one "peanut" or "bean" and told Justin this. So he started to name off a bunch of nuts and when he said Cashew- we decided this one was perfect! Plus, that's what she actually looked like!!
So then there is the second name that came to be...Cougar Diesel. Justin and I were headed up to my parents home one weekend (3 hour drive) to attend my nephew, Geoff's, high school graduation party. On the way up, Justin thought he would start going through the baby name book I had bought. Since we did not yet know the sex, we decided to start looking at boy names (mostly because there were far less boy names we liked than girls). Justin finds the name Cougar, and we laugh and joke that it is perfect!! Then I look down and see the name Diesel...and it just clicked...Cougar Diesel Yeh! PERFECT! Ha ha ha!
That evening we told my Brother and Sister in Law, who thought this was the best name EVER! In fact, they wanted us to mess with my parents and tell them that was the name we had decided on- for a boy or a girl!! (which I just could not do!). But from that point on, Cashew had yet another name- Cougar Diesel. In fact- thanks to Auntie Jen and Uncle Rick, our little girl actually has a little jacket and hat that say Cougar D. on them!!! I CANNOT WAIT to have her wear them!!!
So that is the story behind her names. Here are some pics from our 20 week ultrasound done on 7-7-08 (our one year wedding anniversary!) where we found out she is a girl!
