Choosing a name for your baby is perhaps one of the most important and difficult decisions for new parents. If your daughter's name is Emily, or you are thinking about naming your new baby Emily, you may be either very pleased or upset by the fact that it has landed on the list of top ten baby names for the year 2007, and has been for the last twelve years. That means that out of all of the girls in the United States, more of them are named Emily than anything else, and it has been this way for more than a decade. Ema and Ava come right after Emily, followed by names like Madison, Sophia, Olivia, and Abigail among the top names for female children.
The most popular male name for 2007? It's Jacob; that is an unexpected one for many people. Jacob for a boy's name was followed closely by Michael, Joshua, and Matthew, all good names for respectable boys growing into men.

The first and most lasting gift you will give your child is his or her name. There is probably no other event in pregnancy that evokes such strong opinions as the name of the baby. You will have to negotiate with your spouse or partner, especially if you have different tastes in names. Your mother, mother in law and the check out girl may have opinions as well. Whether you listen to these is entirely up to you.
One way to start is for each of you to create a list of baby names you like for girls and boys. Compare the lists. Are there any names on both lists? If there are, you are extremely lucky. As you are looking at each other’s lists, check any names that you like or may consider. During this process, each person should have the right of refusal. A name that invokes a strong negative reaction should be removed from the list.

As a mom to four beautiful children, I have learned that pampering yourself isn't selfish, it's essential. Whether this is baby number one or ten, moms fare best when they take care of themselves first - starting with pregnancy. Find the time to relax and recharge, because once your little one is on the outside, finding time to relax will become more of a challenge than ever.
You probably already know that getting enough sleep is important, but with a new baby developing it is even more true. In order to help you sleep better at night, there are a few easy and enjoyable things you can do. Try soaking in a warm tub - not too hot, to get your body to unwind. Add lavender essential oils to enhance the experience. More on Pampering Yourself and Surviving Pregnancy
