My 26th birthday is Saturday and this year I was not at all excited about my birthday because it falls right in the middle of this hugely stressful time in our lives. Since our situation has been sort of all-consuming, I hadn't put too much thought into my birthday. Plus, when you're dealing with infertility, each year that passes decreases your chances of pregnancy. Which sort of sucks the fun out of the thought of birthdays in general.
That all sounded so depressing. Anyhow, the reason I am telling you all of this is to tell you that this year I was so not into my birthday that I didn't even do my traditional month long birthday countdown. The one where I wake up every morning, stand on the bed and yell "only 23 more shopping days til my birthday" for the benefit of the entire household. They like it.
But my husband changed all that because he went and got me THE BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER. And now I am completely psyched about my birthday because do you know what that boy did? He went and got me a puppy! And not just any puppy. A German Shepherd puppy. I don't technically get to have the puppy until July, because they don't release them until they are eight weeks old. But the thing is: I AM GETTING A PUPPY!
So what I need is, I need puppy names. So far the only name I have in the Potential Puppy Name file is Olive. But I need more in case she doesn't look like an Olive.
Did I mention that I am getting a puppy?
