I should probably mention here that we settled on a name. Assuming she pops out as a girl, as intended, our baby's name will be Mirella Anne Mathvorn. Mira for short. Ella for the asian family. Anne because Christina's mom, great-grandmother, and every other woman up 7 generations have had that as a middle name. Mathavorn so long as Christina is happy with me. Mira means ocean in Hindi/Sankrit, peace in most Slavic languages, and some variation of "to admire" or "Look!" in a ton of Latin-based languages.
3 days to finish applying to grad school! I have my letters of recommendation lined up - I just need to e-mail all my professors, get an official transcript from TMCC, rewrite my Statement of Purpose, hope that my GRE scores are still at UNR, and cross my fingers. Unlike the past 5 semesters around this time, this actually seems doable. Grad school, here I come. Hopefully.
Other than that, things have been pretty okay. Christina's mom and grandmother were in town yesterday. My mom came over and we all got to meet - it turned out strangely well. Other than that, things have been pretty mundane and decent. We are planning on doing all sorts of crazy things with Mira, from teaching her Baby Signs to Elimination Communication(warning: involves peeing children) to using gDiapers on her.
Next week, Dad's going on a cruise through the Mediterranean. Simultaneously, I'm driving my mom and uncle to San Francisco so they can fly to Thailand. Christina and I are going to spend a day or so in San Francisco too and chill.
I still need a Halloween costume.
