I have been asked by different people both here in the world of blogs and in my day to day life, "how do you pronounce the name" " Why that name" and "what happened to the name you always wanted" (Bailey)
Last question first, Since I was a little girl I always loved the name Bailey and when Andrew and I started talking about having a child Bailey was always the name for a girl, no other names even came into the running & No it had nothing to do with Bailey's Irish Creme (which I luv,luv,luv). As the years went by and we weren't blessed with a child, my love of the name didn't waver but when not one but 2 families named their dog Bailey the name lost its shine.
So like most people I took out pad and pen and went onto the net to check out names.
Ainsley,Aislinn, Aisling Bethany, Eva, Faith, Hope,Joy,Mia,Regan, Rylee & Shea to name a few.
Rachael took the list first and crossed off most of the names, NO she isn't blood related and Yes she has a major say in this process (she plans on painting and decorating the baby's room with out my help, just my credit card! Scary part is I might let her do it!) But that's another post. Back to the list, next it went to Stew-be, he agreed with Rach and crossed off all but one and it was the one I liked.
Now how do you pronounce it? Aislinn- Ash-Lyn
The meaning of the name is Vision, Dream and the origin is Celtic/Gaelic.
Her middle name will be Mariah. This name was always the middle name in honor of both grandmothers, Andrew's mom Maria and my mom's middle name is Maria.
We still are undecided about whether or not to use part of her Chinese name.

This month seem to go pretty quick, not as fast as the first month but quick nevertheless.
It was a busy month for us. We had 3 birthdays to celebrate this month, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our brother in law, Mike, Our nephew & my godson Matthew who turned 14 and to one of my munchkins Connor who turned 11. There was also 4 moving up days, our niece Saorla & another of my munchkins Meagan both graduated from preschool and moving up from elementary to middle school our niece Andrea and my munchkin Connor. Connors baseball team made the play-offs but sadly lost, so the season is over for another year.Yay!Not for the lost but for one less thing to run for. Summer is in full swing here on Long Island, the pool is open( it's a little round one, just big enough for the kids to relax in and cool off) and we had our first BBQ of the season. When looking at the calendar I think we have something going every weekend in July and half of August and I still have to plan a shower for my kid sisters wedding and get my dress (I'm the maid of honour).Last Friday night Andrew & I spent sometime with one of Andrew's oldest friends. We don't get to see Joe and his son that much but as always we had a great time catching up and reminiscing about all the trouble they got into as kids.
On the computer front, I am getting a little ( and I do mean a little) bit more comfortable with this monster (computer)but I still miss my dell and my window ME.
