Got Godparents??

So....I have been having the Godparent conversation with John for the last 4 weeks. Anytime we sit down to discuss this topic, we don't get ANYWHERE!! I got so frustrated last night because we are SO close to a decision and he walks out of the room to go to bed. As if the conversation was finished. BUT it wasn't. The catch that has us completely stuck on is the fact that we need to have one Godparent who is a "practicing Catholic" and they need a letter stating that apparently from their church.


We have the list down to 3 people and when we start to talk well it's always "what do you think, you're the one who is Catholic." (from John to me). I counter that saying that even though I AM Catholic, Brooke is OUR daughter and it's a decision we need to make together. After all if I were to make the decision by myself then he says that I don't ask his opinion. So, if it were up to me, I would have our Godparents already decided but I want to make sure he is ok with OUR decision.


Since we haven't decided on Godparent, I haven't even gone out to buy a baptismal gown. I am a little stressed about it, but I figure that is a bit easier to get then to throw the honor of being Brookie's Godparent on someone at the last minute. It's hard because one of our choices I am not even 100% sure that they are a practicing Catholic. I am pretty sure but I don't know for sure. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so sorry if this is a rant blog, but I am SO frustrated and couldn't fall asleep because I was so annoyed about John walking out on our conversation (which happens at least once a day usually anyway but on topics that aren't as important). So, wish us luck in making the decision and I really hope that the Godparent that we decide on doesn't feel as if they are a "last choice" thing, because that is TOTALLY not it. It's because John wouldn't give me his opinion. It's amazing that we even had a name for Brookie in the first place considering he wouldn't discuss names until about 5 days before she was born. Oh and we don't have very many friends that are Catholic let alone practicing. UGH!! I think I will shop for her baptismal gown online now. Some retail therapy to help me not be so annoyed, I won't buy yet though. I'll post when we FINALLY make a decision and ask our Godparents to be Godparents. Wish ME luck!!!
