We had two nursery themes that we were deciding between.. one seemed fairly obvious for us — sailing/sailboats — and the other was the outer space theme. (My husband and I own a sailboat, and he’s also a dork and is into outer space/planets/etc). Sailboats and nautical themes seem to be kinda overdone (?) so I liked the idea of doing an outer space/planets theme a little better. Besides, who doesn’t wanna raise a nerd baby?

We have decided on a first and middle name! I don’t know if I’m comfortable sharing here quite yet, but there are influences of classic American literature as well as a namesake from both B’s and my family. We definitely considered a bunch of different names, both with influence from older generations of our families and otherwise, but we’re both happy with the names we’ve picked. ☺️

I was invited to join the shutdown team lunch out this afternoon since I know everyone who's coming (well, actually except one which is the guy on my left since he came to J&J MY during my WFH period yet people always assume I know everyone 🤦‍♀️). It took some time before we finally found a place to eat because we need to consider halal conditions and yes, this place has awesome foods and cakes! But then, the girl sitting at the middle is leaving and today is her last day at the office. I don't know her that much but time does fly so fast in J&J. So many new faces every now and then yet they also leave way too soon. I wonder how many generations have I already seen through. May this photo remind us that at one point, we have dreamt of becoming the nextgen for our almost beloved company.
