Baby Names Plus Quick Tips
Baby Shower PlanningIf you are thinking about inviting men, there are some really fun shower games for them. Make sure to include these activities, as well as co-ed prizes, so that they feel as much a part of the fun as the women! (Men aren't especially fond of perfume or peach lotion). A family get-together type celebration may also create a more relaxed setting for men to enjoy.
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 ExerciseBefore starting an exercise routine while you are pregnant, talk to your doctor or midwife. He or she can help you figure out how slowly you should start and warning signs that may occur if there is a problem or if your are pushing too hard. Having a plan with your doctor may make you feel more comfortable as well.
Morning SicknessIf smells are the main cause of morning sickness, carry around a hankerchief with a non-offensive odor on it. Put it over your nose when smells become unbearable and you cannot get away from the area.
