Pressure is on....

It appears that we are in a bit of a time crunch. Our original plan isn't going to work. We have a more stringent time line. And, it has me a wee bit stressed. What's the drama about this week? Selecting an American name for Huayou!! UGH!!

Our naming strategy was pretty simple. We'd come up with a list of names that we like/agree upon, discuss it in depth during our 16 HOUR flight, and make a game day decision when we meet her. Sounds reasonable, right? Well, apparently, that isn't going to work. Here's our recent conversation:

Kim (agency rep): So, I need the American name for your daughter with exact spelling.

Me: Uhhhh... I don't have that yet.

Kim: Really? You're kidding me right?

Me: No- I'm not kidding. We talk about it all the time. We just haven't decided. We aren't quick to make these decisions. Sara was nearly 6 hours old before she had a name.

Kim: Wow. Ok- .... when do you think that you'll have it...

Me: When do you need it ?

Kim: Sooner rather than later.

Me: UGH!! Specifically, when????

Kim: Within 24 hours of receiving your TA!

Me: Ok- I'll have it to you 10 minutes before our 24 hour time expires!
