Baby Names Plus Quick Tips
Baby Shower PlanningInvitations should be mailed about four weeks prior to the shower. This way, it is not so soon that people forget about it, but yet gives people enough time to make room in their calendar and to RSVP. Guests should RSVP no later than two weeks before the shower. People who are organized will open the card, check their schedule, and call right then, so it is important to have voice mail or an answering machine so they can respond immediately.
Baby NamingSince parents must choose the first and middle name, they tend to think of how the first and middle name sound together when making their decision. But that is not how the child will be addressed on a daily basis. So, say the names out loud using first and last name, which is how the child will almost always be addressed. For example, if it the baby name begins or ends with the same letter as the first letter of your last name, it may sound awkward.
Pregnancy ExerciseStaying hydrated is also very important whether you are exercising while pregnant or not. Blurred vision is a common sign of dehydration. It means that your blood pressure is dropping rapidly which is sending your heart into overdrive. Make sure to keep drinking water to avoid this potentially dangerous situation.
Morning SicknessMany experts believe morning sickness is caused by a mixture of rapidly changing hormone levels, enhanced smell, and increased stomach acids (this contributes to heartburn and acid reflux in some cases as well).
