  • Remember Joshua was 3 days old before we named him.
    We had picked out the name "Christopher" and once he was born..he just wasn't a Christopher.

    Drove your Grandmother nuts!
    LOL

  • BRAD!!! You're not supposed to SAY it!!!


    Mama, I hope that doesn't happen to me, cause it will probably take me longer than 3 days to pick out a new name!

  • You could have a total jewish thing going and wait a week to name the baby. Sometimes you have to feel "inspired" and sometimes you have to see them to see if it fits. Ben looks like a Ben. Genesis or Grace didn't run as smooth as GG for GG. :P Whatever... just saying you would wait a week after birth. We actually thought about getting a real Rabbi dude to come to the house on day 8 and circ the baby. IT is really neat all the info on that. We decided it really wasn't necessary. Whatever floats your boat. :) We are just along for the ride. :D

  • The only one there that would disappoint me at all is Nathan cuz that's one of my favorites but that's okay because YOU have to be happy with the name. Jeff did the same thing to me...every name I came up with he said he knew some kid in school he didn't like with that name or something. We were lucky Brad ever got named! If I had been saved then I would have probably gone with a Bible name. I was thinking about Rachel for Krissy but we never could agree on ANY girls names at all. So you're not alone with the battle! You'll find one and it will fit.

  • If your child is a boy, please do not circumcize him! I've done some research on it and it is a very painful and pointless operation. If it is a must, wait until he is grown completely. If you are honest and open with him, he will thank you for it. Better yet, let him decide for himself if he wants the operation done when he is old enough.

  • do you plan on finding out the gender before its born, or waiting and being surprised?

  • I agree on the circ. however, the biblical waiting time of 8 days is a LOT less painful then the hospital rush. The skin has separated and doesn't have to be RIPPED apart. And the 8th day is the only time in the their life that the least amount of blood is there. It is REALLY interesting to read up on. :) *shutting up now*

  • Oh you guys are great. :-) I agree if you're gonna do it, then you should wait and not do it immediately. Interesting stuff Wendy. However, I agree with Jon. It doesn't seem to be neccessary either for medical reasons or cleanliness reasons and the only other reason to put my poor child through that would be if I were Jewish. Gentiles we are, we need to discuss it more but so far the consensus is we won't. Poor boy, the only time in his life his genitals are discussed with the whole world and he can't even defend himself!

    Jaci, I think you asked me that in another comment and I completely spaced it. Sorry. Thanks for asking again!

    If I can find out, we wanna find out. I don't wanna be surprised! I wanna know if I have to get pink and purple (mostly purple cause I don't really care a whole lot for pink), or blue and green! (Yes I know I can dress a girl in blue and green but you get the idea!)

  • Wendy is right about the clotting thing. I was amazed when I read that God made the blood to clot perfectly on the 8th day and that's why He instructed the circumcisions for that day. It was the ONE thing Krissy listened to me about with Elijah. Except she didn't do it because I suggested it. She missed the appointment on the 5th day and it had to be rescheduled and so they did it on the 8th. Figures...lol.

  • I agree totally with Jon.

    By Blogger ♥ Vikki Dreams♥, at 5/29/2006 2:30 PM  

  • I do too... Our youngest 2 boys are not circ'd. :) We have had ZERO problems. :)

    By Blogger wemmies, at 5/29/2006 7:25 PM  

  • Oh and to clarify...I only advised Krissy to go on the 8th day if she was determined to have it done. For me the less medical intervention in our lives the better but it's a decision everyone has to make for themselves. Don't let anyone pressure you...I know the Lord leads us when we look to Him.
