3 weeks to go until baby coombs makes his/her appearance...but who's counting?
essentials are ready:
1. we can bring baby home from the hospital, although david says "we won't need" the newborn padding insert in the carseat (good up to 11lbs)...he also asked me what the average length of a newborn is, and i told him between 18-21". he kind of smirked and said, "ours is going to be 24." so in david's head i'm going to birth a 12+ lb. 24" newborn...now that's fatherly pride!
2. a full hamper of laundered gender neutral onesies and sleepers. if baby really is as "above average" as david thinks, we won't be needing half of this hamper.
3. we are ready to change baby's bottom. at least for the first 24 hours. we will be getting more of these essentials at costco--nice coupons on diapers and wipes this week!
4. a place for baby to sleep. baby's room is still empty...we are planning on doing the big baby spree when we see a reimbursement check from aflac. until then, baby can camp out next to our bed.
5. baby's room is painted...just waiting for all the fun stuff...
all that's left? your vote! are we having a boy or a girl? which is your favorite name from our list? stay tuned!(by the way, if anyone knows how to change the color of the poll lettering so it isn't grey on grey, let me know...)

yeaaaa! Hope the best for you both!!
What poll? Where do I say what the baby (definitely) is?
After all, you know that I know...
My opinion only, but when using names that are the same as months I would go with the month in which the baby is born.
For some months that does not work out so well!
March, however, does work in March.
Since it's a boy, I am voting for Wolf and here's why: names should be easily insertable into the Mary Poppins song, "Chim-chimaney." You can sing to him something like this, "Wolf-wolfity, wolf-wolfity, wolf-wolf-waroo" and so on. Plus I think it's cool that you were inspired by the amazing high school movie, Teen Wolf.

As for the poll color, you can paste the following css in the html header with the other css elements (#D5A8AF is the white/pink color, change to whatever you want):
.answerText {
color:#D5A8AF;
}
This is all assuming you know what css, and html headers are, naturally.
