I'm doub...I will see if my wife will yell that. I'm doubting she will, but it's worth a shot. I'll have to see at that moment if it feels right. <br /><br />There's a good way to be mentally prepared, but it's just hard to plan everything out and get stuck on THIS is what has to happen. You are bound to be disappointed. There is a lot of melodrama around it, to each his own, but I'm not going to get myself worked up over the birth and how it is supposed to go. I have my own personal preferences which I have made clear to my wife (like no C-section), but if I can't control the situation. <br /><br />Once person in our class had their child named before they even knew the sex. They had a boy and a girl named picked out. That seemed kind of boring to me, but again each to his own, it's just people are flabbergasted we haven't named her yet. We talked about it yesterday, but then stopped talking about it and watched "Party Down" instead.

Needless to say, I didn't ask my wife to do that.Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16477280386233433416noreply@blogger.com
