Really, what’s in a name?

Boy, talk about a cliched title.

Really though, I started the signup process about a hour and a half ago for this blog, and just now came up with a name I deem acceptable. But in all reality, this is how I look at the whole situation: an added bonus to the life (albeit mundane as it may be) the my wife and I have. Now, if only we could come up with a baby name that we both like we’d be in great shape.

Perhaps some background would be appropriate. My wife and I are expecting our first baby this June. I hope to use this to share some of the highs, lows and in betweens of the process of having and raising kiddo #1. Whether kiddo #2 ever comes along will most likely be based on whether kiddo #1 works out or not. I kid, I kid.

Speaking of the aforementioned kiddo #1, we find out what he/she is next week, much to the chagrin of many of the people we talk to about it. “You should wait, it’s so much fun to be surprised,” they cry. No, no thanks. I’ll find out ahead of time. There’s so many friends and family who want to buy things for the baby that I can hardly believe it, and I’ll not deprive them of buying gender specific toys/clothes if they so choose. Who would?

Not to mention, I obviously need plenty of time to come up with a name. Naming a baby is much more stressful than naming a blog, after all.
