Is this just always a bad idea? We're liking the name Parker Foster, but not sure if that's too "cutesy" or "rhymey." Thoughts?
I'm at 9w6d and am just now emerging from signs of depression early in the first trimester. There is so much to be concerned about, plus our preggo brains may be hindering your productivity at work. I just felt really bad at everything I was doing. The exhaustion didn't help, nor did the fact that my DH really had no idea the DEPTH of my fatigue and would try to help by suggesting I get off the couch and go running or to the gym! Useful most of the time, but definitely not in my first-trimester fog.

What helped me start to get out of it (and I'm not sure whether I totally am or not) is basically just realizing that what will happen will happen and I need to keep plugging along with life so that, when this baby is introduced to the world, he or she will have a great start and two loving, happy parents.
I have Kaiser (VA - Fair Oaks) and was just told at my "new parents" class that they won't let me go past TWO weeks, not one week.
