    Dont know why they are both "A" names just worked that way.
    We also like Stone for another middle name for either but its
    not just cause of Stone. Its just a cool name.

    We are using Annabelle, and we are certain that it's a girl. :) Not done picking out a middle name yet, though. It's kind of hard because Annabelle is such a long name. We will probably call her Belle for short. :)

    We liked "A" names best because, for some reason, they sound best with our last name, which is also an "A" name.

    we just have had those names in mind since like high school probably.
    I really want to know if Im having a boy or girl. Almost makes me
    want another ultrasound. But its not too far off so I will just wait.

    About six months ago my other half and I watched a video of a lady giving birth (http://www.babycenter.com/video/clip.jhtml?topic=1287352). We talked the other day about whether he would want to see the baby be born or not. I said I want him in the room but it might be a bit difficult for him to handle actually watching the baby come out. He said he could stomach it and he would be fine, so I made him watch the video again and I think his memory must have faded from last time because he seemed to go a little pale watching the video and mumbling about how he's so glad his not a women :) I think now that I am actually pregnant, watching the video was more real this time then last time we watched it.

    :) he had a leg crap in bed last night and said something to the effect of me going through that type of pain when I have a baby. I laughed and said I think it will be much worse than that and for much longer, but he seemed pretty sure it would just be as painful as his leg cramp :)

    Its still not working.
    It wants me to try the sample video.
    Am I doing something wrong?

    no, you're not doing anything wrong, it is the sample video that you should watch. The birth is not shown until about the 6 minute mark.

    We watched a video almost exactly the same in prenatal class.
    The computer generated stuff was actually the same exactly.
    But the one we watched was like from the late 80s.
    This one was better. Also not as long. The placenta delivery
    is actually the grossest part to me. :D

    I wish my computer didnt buffer so much though.

    It was a C section. I was sitting next to my wife's head, with a curtain blocking the view. I could have easily stuck my head over the curtain to catch the action, but would rather not see insides

    If it was a natural birth do you think you would have been interested in seeing it? have you seen videos?

    Thats insanity.
    Did you want them to feed at the same time?
    Just to get it over with all at once.
    Or was it nice to have one on one time without the other?
    There were days that they would feed 10 times in one day(24hr.period)...that's x's 2 so 20 feedings...I would much rather have one on one time with them but, I also wanted some time to breath!!

    You guys speak of going hours without feeding... there will be growth spurts that they will want to feed within an hour. Everyday is different....peace and patience to all!!:D
    If I could be anything in the world I would be your teardrop...I would be born in your eyes, live on your cheeks, and die on your lips.
