Cool Baby Names

Cool Baby Names - A Cool that Lasts Forever

Cool baby names are sought by many. Every parent hopes the best for their child. They hope for a good education, good jobs, good friends, and a million other great things, including a name they love. Some people get inspired with cool baby names on their own. Most people, however, need a little more help than that.

One trend in finding cool baby names is going back to older days. Because really old names aren't heard a whole lot anymore, they are often perceived as unique and cool. Finding a way to stand out in a world so crowded has become important to many people, and this is one way to start out that way.

Many websites are dedicated to cool baby names. Naming children isn't exactly like it once was. At one time, people would have simply picked a family name. Now people are more individualistic. The Internet is helping to cultivate this trend. One website that has cool baby names is www.babyzone.com. This site has a lot of traditional and cool names. But one thing that is unique about this site is the names are presented with meanings and origins.

Baby Zone has more than cool baby names on its website. It is also a place for information about conceiving, pregnancy, parenting, and more. You can find out what to expect at different stages of your child's life. It can't prepare you for all the surprises, but it can keep you informed on the big changes you should be expecting. You can sign up for free samples and coupons here also. And what parent couldn't use a little extra cash or supplies? Some people sign up on this website for information and freebies. All you have to do is tell them when you are due, and they track your pregnancy and childhood stages from there.

Cool baby names are all over out there. You may not find the perfect one on your first search, but do your child a favor and don't settle. You will find a great name if you look hard enough for cool baby names.

Pregnancy fact or fiction: Eating for two (or three)

Filed under: Just for moms, Pregnancy and birth, Health and safety, Eating and nutrition, Mealtime

Just how much are you supposed to eat when you're pregnant? According to MayoClinic.com, the average (not overweight, not underweight) woman should gain between 25-35 pounds during pregnancy. But, does it matter what your doctor says, what your friends and family say, or what the little one inside you dictates?

With my first pregnancy, I was advised to consume between 300 and 500 calories extra per day. Not a drop more. Gone were the days when I thought I would be able to eat anything I wanted, the way things used to be

Back when my mother-in-law was pregnant with my husband her doctor prescribed her diet pills to take during her pregnancy so she wouldn't gain too much weight. Scary thought, eh, but it's the truth. How she managed it I'll neverk know. Now that I'm in the second trimester of my second pregnancy, I am starting to remember what it was like the first time around.

A goodbye and a welcome

Filed under: Media

On the dashboard of the software that powers ParentDish, there's a little box that tells each blogger how many words and how many posts he or she has written.

The dashboard tells me tonight: you have written 527,463 words and 1854 posts. That is a lot of words; that's an unfathomable amount of posts.

I started writing here to supplement my income when things were tight financially during my maternity leave with my infant. My son was just a tiny baby, not yet walking, not yet talking. This blog has taken me through Nolan's first steps, my many parenting blunders, and provided me with perspective and sustenance during what was certainly the most emotionally wrenching year of my life. During my tenure here, in the beginning, I was my fiance's partner -- now I am just my son's Mother. We're doing so well, our hearts are full, I'm on a journey of learning to be a better parent.

Your comments, over the years, have helped immeasurably. I consider many of you friends, and sometimes I lie awake in bed thinking about Anji's suggestion or Meagan's words of solidarity and your sharing has helped me be a better Mother -- and in many instances, a better person. Even some of the crazy trolls have helped -- I've grown a thicker skin, become more secure in my own convictions and strength.

This is a slightly long winded way...

Sarah Jessica Parker's son wears hand-me-downs

Filed under: Celeb kids, Celeb parenting

She might be famous for playing a character who wouldn't be caught dead in last season's clothes, but Sarah Jessica Parker is no designer diva when it comes to dressing her five-year-old son, James Wilke.

"He only wears hand-me-downs because I've got all these older nephews," Parker, 43, says in the newest issue of Parade magazine. "That's the God's honest truth! Plus, my mother saved all my brothers' clothes. I am not kidding. I don't think I've ever bought him any clothes. Maybe a new winter's coat...."

When Mom isn't who you think she is

Filed under: Just for moms, In the news, Weird but true

Alan and Marie Walsh have been married for 23 years. They have three children together and have lived in San Diego for the last ten years. Alan Walsh described his wife as an honorable woman who cared deeply about her family. Federal marshals, however, described her as an escaped convict and a wanted woman.

It turns out that more than thirty years ago, Walsh -- whose real name is Susan LeFevre -- escaped from the Detroit House of Corrections after serving only a year of her ten to twenty year sentence for drug-related charges. "We're still just getting over this but it's been a tremendous shock to us," said her husband.

LeFevre told detectives that her family did not know of her past. "Our family is threatened to be destroyed by something that happened to her as a 19-year-old teenager 34 years ago in Michigan," said Alan Walsh. I can't condone what LeFevre did or her escape, but I have to feel for her family.
