Hi, Alex!!! I BET Loving Spouse has other concerns!!! By my eighth month of pregnancy I had realized the whole idea was a really bad one, and there was no way on earth I would ever get that baby out of my body. I dealt with my anxiety by going out to dinner and to a movie every night with my husband to block out the swelling reality of the situation, which eventually culminated in an emergency Cesarean section in the middle of the night, anyway!!! I can point out other problems with late December and early January babies, however. Their mothers are just exhausted after all of the holiday preparations women go through which even the most helpful and understanding men really never grasp the complexity of, and so a beloved child's birthday on top of them is not ideal. Even more importantly, the child has all its special occasions in one fell swoop, and then a whole year drags on endlessly. I had a roommate in college with a December 24th birthday, and I don't think she ever really felt as special about hers as children who have them away from the holidays. But, of course, all anyone really hopes for is a healthy baby and a safe delivery and speedy recovery for the mother, and you know we are all wishing those things for you!!!!!!

Alex, carrying this a little farther and perhaps even garnering a few other opinions, I was wondering what criteria, if any, you and L.S. are using to determine the name of your forth coming child? I know some couples will name their children after people in the Bible. An estranged friend of mine chose to name his (excuse me, he and his wife) children names associated with his scottish heratage. Did you toss around the idea of half of one name and half of another, and then adding "ia" to the end? I've always thought girls' names such as Sara, Christine, and Nancy(not to be confused with Lil or McGill [get out your secret decoder rings]) were pretty names. Another topic I was wondering about garnering opinions on is this: Does anyone ever tend to think more positive of another initially if he/she has the same name of a new person they are just meeting? Is it worth mulling?
