Awesome! You're life will never be the same. I don't know from first hand experience, but I'm sure it will.

Get one last trip to WDW while you can still go on the BIG rides. Or else you won't be able to for the next 4 years without a child switch pass.

Thanks again, everyone!

So it seems that one of our first decisions will be whether or not to know the sex of the baby...

Suggestions, comments?

I'm leaning towards knowing, because I think it will make the whole preparation process that much easier.

yes know makes it easier to buy what they need. Makes picking a name easier. Also when think of a name think to yourself "paging Doctor _____" so that way the first name isn't messed up. Also think of the kid in later life can they pick a nickname or did you give the kid a name like bill instead of william, you can always call the kid what you like buy think of other kids making fun of him or her. I know a kid in my sons class his name is baby now who in there right mind names a kid baby?

I appreciate the input! We're striving to find names that aren't too exotic, but aren't on the "top 100" lists, either. Unique, but not too unique, you know?

As for "baby," those parents have doomed that child to ten years of name calling and aggravation.
