    Baby Name Fun, go and vote!

    Eh, why not. Drake Sebastian Drake as in Welsh for dragon, not the male duck! lol I've always like this name. It's a hard, strong name. Somehow, I can see it working on a dark/black haired boy/man, but not blond. As my hair is dark, and also the donors, chances are good this babe will be...

    Baby Name Fun, go and vote!

    I understand completely, Angelsgirl. Dh's fave is a beautiful (and quite fitting) combination, and I do like it, I'm just not in love with it yet. This is a fun way to pass the time, get opinions, and mull over his choice some more, seeing how others view it. Thanks for voting!

    Thanks so much ladies. I appreciate it. Heather, I'm confused. Hailey and Alyssa aren't on my list. Do you have a fave off of that?

    Cribs

    Came back to add, this is the style of crib we're looking at. Fixed sided, heavy and sturdy. Very nice construction. Love the color and matching dressers, too. http://www.bonavita-cribs.com/pop/sheffls.html

    Cribs

    We're seriously considering a convertible crib, with matching dresser(s). If we go this route, I want 2 dressers, for adequate storage in later years. One just won't be enough, I think. We're most likely not doing the bassinette, unless it's used, as the babe will be transitioning to his/her...

    Is Artificial Insemination Adulterous?

    So how do we determine which to treat, and which to leave? Why not decide that cancer is, although maybe not God's will, something that He can/will use for good? How do we know he will? How do we know that He doesn't want us to take treatment and live? Or maybe the good comes from the...

    Is Artificial Insemination Adulterous?

    And again I ask, if your child were born with a brain tumor, or a heart defect, would you simply accept it, b/c according to your rules, you should. After all, if God wanted him/her to be 'healthy', He'd have made them that way. So don't go rush out for surgery or chemo or medicine or other...
