I'm amused that everyone is thinking about carseats. It's fun to know there are other people who get preoccupied with these things. DH thinks I'm a little crazy when I talk about it, I think.    The little bed for the...

I'm not sure I totally follow your dates, but there's no way in heck you got a positive hpt on 12/11 from conception on 12/5 or even 12/8. Even people who get freakishly early hpts don't get them until 9ish days past ovulation. Your...

I love Soren! We've considered it, but think it might be too similar to dd (Maren), and also fear the nickname "Sorry" or "Sore". I still love it though. Maybe it will go back into the running... What are the "Norman" names you like?...
