Congrats! Have you started thinking of names?

No! He's not allowed to talk about names. Otherwise, we'll end up naming something here the same name that they're thinking of! :-P
Congrats!

Haha, neat...The reason I asked about names is because I'm a huge name guy, mainly because I love unique names (and was born with such a boring one, the sick irony!)
Claire is actually pretty high on my list of girl names...Chloe is my favorite right now...

Bill, one of my daughters' name is Rebecca Nyoko. I thought it sounded pretty cool. Nice meaning as she is certainly a gem.

On the name thing everyone might find this interesting. Its a chart telling the popularity of a name at a given point of time.
Edit: Like Chloe is ranked 18 in 2006.
Title: RE: Special Announcement From Ceric
Post by: Bill Aurion on September 21, 2007, 04:04:23 AM
That popular? I've never even met someone named Chloe!

Michael: 1970s: rank - 1 2006: rank - 2

I've always liked the name "Livia" for a girl's name, but it's not very common.

No, that's not a typo. Just "Livia", no "O". It was the name of the Emperor Augustus' wife.

My Wife's appointment happened today and the baby seems to be as big a 40 week and we'll need a new Ultrasound to check on it. Which will be next Tuesday.

I think you should start training him now. Just start up a brawl for two. Pick your guy, then Baby's character, then lay his controller on your wife's belly when you play, and let the gaming flow through via osmosis.

Post by: Sundoulos on March 18, 2008, 03:38:46 PM
Congrats, God bless, and best wishes to you, your wife, and the new little guy.
Let us all know how it goes! Have you guys settled on a name?
You probably already have people telling you this... That first week at home can certainly be hard, but it's more than worth it. Just be as much of an encouragement to your wife as you can through the delivery and first few days home. No matter what happens, the changes will be hardest on her. Also, don't be afraid to tell your respective families to beat it for a while if she needs space. A friend gave me that advice, and I wish, wish, wish I had listened.
Anyway, when you see your kid changing and notice his/her personality being to emerge. The stuff like the first smile, the first laugh, the big and little accomplishments have been more fun and rewarding than I ever thought possible. It's always fun coming home because my 5 month old son's face lights up whenever he sees me.
Plus, you get to dress up your kid in stuff like this: (http://bp1.blogger.com/_rjPB6Jqf7pk/R-AXlwscMqI/AAAAAAAAAbw/iE3rcwkAQ5I/S240/Micah-Mario.jpg)

Yay babies!
(I personally hate babies, but I guess we need them... who else is going to fund my social security?)
Title: Re: Special Announcement From Ceric
Post by: Ceric on March 18, 2008, 08:25:29 PM
Thanks all. I'll keep all the advise in mind. Also UncleBob if it wasn't for kids you wouldn't have half you collection ;)

Is it too late for me to say congratulation's and toss in a name or two?
Somebody needs to have a girl and name her Michelle. I hate Michael, know too many of them, but I love Michelle, its the perfect name. If your looking for a boy name to avoid, Richard is the name, lame, lame, lame. Other than that I have no good suggestions, sorry.

Hello Everyone,
Zane has arrived. He came out at 19 inches long, 7lb and 8.5oz,at 6:42 am today. It was trying. I'll eventually put up some good pictures.
Title: Re: Special Announcement From Ceric
Post by: vudu on April 13, 2008, 09:20:52 PM
Congrats! Stop wasting time updating us and spend some quality time with your wife and son.
Title: Re: Special Announcement From Ceric
Post by: Nick DiMola on April 14, 2008, 10:03:35 AM
Congrats Ceric! Best of luck to you and your wife.
Title: Re: Special Announcement From Ceric
Post by: Sundoulos on April 14, 2008, 11:16:54 AM
Congrats! Hopefully, both mom and baby Zane are doing well! Sorry to hear that it was trying, but that's similar to our experience.
I'm sure that you'll probably get tired of hearing advice from people in your life, but if I could make a personal recommendation, get this book: Becoming Babywise (http://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Baby-Wise-Nighttime-Becoming/dp/1932740082/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1208185871&sr=8-1)
Getting the baby on a schedule as soon as you can will help the stress levels in dealing with the new little guy. My wife and I aren't organized enough to follow the book to the letter, but the concepts did help us get our baby to sleep through the night more quickly.
