You are of Asian descent. Perhaps Chinese? You met your husband at an Ivy league college on the East coast (both grew up in CA.) After graduation, you decided to move back to CA. (Although, this time to Northern CA, as opposed to Southern CA were you originally came from.) Boys are 7 and 11 now. They are both good students and athletes. You are conscientious about NOT being perceived as a "tiger mom" (which you actually are not) so you go out of your way to give your children enough leisure time and non-pressured activities. You are currently undergoing fertility treatments for secondary fertility. It has been 2 years now, and if the next procedure fails, you will just count your blessings and move on. You are in the process of planning a trip to China and Hong Kong with the family for the following summer. Your husband and you have all over Asia and Africa, and you want to expose the boys to many different cultures, especially one where they have a connection to. Surprisingly, both boys dislike Chinese food, and have a penchant for Italian food. Perhaps a trip to Italy will be in the future, as well? Life is good. No complaints...Except for your husband being a workaholic, and not around enough for quality time. Hopefully, the couples therapy you are in will work wonders. And, if now, you are considering an affair with your sexy fertility doctor!!!

You’ve always been funny –everyone at Sunnyhill says so. At least to yourself. Sometimes grumpy people just don’t get it. Ok the time that you faked that you were pregnant, then had the baby shower (so much fun!) then had to say that you “lost the baby” Haha! All those cards and presents. How did everyone find out ? Just kidding. Geez, get over it. That was back then and you are MUCH better now.
Anyway, Larla is your special little friend. Those parents all need so much advice and Larla is always there to help –just like Clifford the Big Red Dog. Sometimes some very grumpy people do not like Larla. Your Mom told you that Larla is the funniest thing she ever heard and welcome anywhere and not to listen to others who just do not understand. SHE thinks you are hilarious. And you have a bright future as a comedienne when you get out of Sunnyhill. Dr. Moon, your special therapist at Sunnyhill told you that Larla was a very healthy friend for you.

My three boys are Grant, Rick and Andrew.

(new, but PP a few pages back)

I'll bet that Rick never goes by anything else. Your DH hates his given name, Richard, and never, ever wanted to be called Dick. Your DH was so concerned about teasing potential that he refused, absolutely refused, to bestow this name upon your firstborn.

So, you chose the name Grant for its sincere, plain masculinity and to appease your husband; Grant won't have a nickname. When Grant was a toddler, you and your husband called him "G", but your DH stopped calling Grant this and now you are the lone hold out. To absolutely everyone else in the world, Grant's Grant, but you, Mom, call him G. Cute.

Back to Rick: he is most certainly NOT a junior. Your DH finally caved when you found out you were having a boy; ok, Richard is fine and we'll call him Rick and Rick only. Never Ricky because he is not a NASCAR driver! Richard is thrilled to have a namesake, especially since y'all were going to stop with JUST the two boys...

Seven years after you told everyone that Rick was "the caboose"...surprise (sort of). You wanted another one (secretly, when Rick was about 4) but Richard would freak out at the thought of yet another child. Money was tight with two boys and Richard has always been conservative/stingy to a fault and overly focused on "saving." He keeps the budget on a spreadsheet he devised and is constantly tinkering with it (and reminding you that you spend way too much on junk food for the boys) and figuring out ways to save more. You and your DH fight about money. A lot. It's really about control, how he was raised and his fear that he'll make the same mistakes as his dad, God rest his soul.

Your husband is also "one of your boys."

Andrew truly completes your family and you can't imagine not having your three (4!) boys.


Bump!

I realized when I posted this that I somehow highlighted this post and it may have been lost. How'd I do, Mom?

You were determined to have only two children and you tried to reinforce that by naming one child at the beginning of the alphabet and the other at the end of the alphabet. No other children in between A and Z for you. However, you and DH went on a couples retreat two months ago at the suggestion of your SIL (the one you like and who likes you). She thought you and DH were stressed over work and other issues related to DH's family and needed alone time. She offered to stay with 6 year old Zachary and 8 year old Amy over the weekend (she is your husband's older sister and her two DDs are at Swarthmore and Boston College, respectively).

While driving to the retreat, you and DH determined that the last time you have sex was the morning before Valentine's Day, because he was leaving for a 5 day out of town trip later than afternoon. The retreat was a little silly, but the lunch was good and they kept offering you wine, and you and DH got a little frisky and went back to your room before the first lecture on "Finding the Core of Your Marriage." You found your core that night and the next morning as well before hurrying off to a day of pointers from couples who looked like they really should find their core. You tried not to be too smug as you watched the pained expressions of others as they seemed to relate to what was being said while you and DH could not keep yourself from touching each other's knees or slyly rubbing against each other.

You skipped dinner with the guest speaker a noted marriage therapist and drove to a cheesy Italian joint you saw on the way to the retreat. It reminded you of the place where you had dinner the night you became engaged, and you made out heavily in the car and barely made it back to the retreat before you had sex again. The morning was rinse and repeat.

You felt good for a solid week after the retreat and assured your SIL that it was exactly what you needed.

the next week you had a business trip to California and threw up after eating what you describe to your co-worker as "bad sushi." This became a "spring virus," which morphed into an "upset tummy," until you finally gave in and took a pregnancy test.

Now you are looking for a name which begins with a letter somewhere in between B and Y. Any suggestions DCUM?
