RE: Becoming a Parent

in #news7 years ago

Congratulations! What an exciting time for you!! Having a child, your very own most natural creation in the world changes your life in more ways than imaginable. I'm a mother to a darling 7 year old and believe me, every day is still a learning day in terms of parenting!
Before you finalize on a name, try calling out the name aloud more than a few number of times to see how it sounds and imagine your child responding to it. If you still like the name, go for it! :)
Also, one more suggestion... sorry, I just can't seem to stop. Select very carefully a piece of relaxing music to play for your daughter and start playing it from now itself so she grows up listening to it in the womb. Believe me, once she is born, any time you want to calm her down/go to sleep, all you have to do is play that music again.
Wishing you and Tanisha a good delivery, a super healthy baby and all the joys of parenthood to follow! :)

Yeah, I like that approach. It's also very common for people to shorten the name in common use so I try to anticipate what the "short form" would be and consider it just as much as the full name.
