Week 13, Day 5:  We got a few books to help us prepare for the baby.  'Baby Bargains' gives advice on shopping for the baby.  It rates cribs, strollers, car seats, etc. and explains all the things that you need and all the things that are a waste of money.  We will definitely refer to it as we start to shop. 

We were also thinking about names for the baby.  It seems like we have many ideas for girl's names, but can't think of any names for a boy.  Vivian says it's more difficult for teachers, because of all the names that are associated with troubled children.  We got this book to help us out.

Most baby naming books are pretty boring.  They just explain what each name means.  This book has interesting tools, such as the usage frequency graph.  It also gives the time period where the name was most popular, and gives examples of sisters and brothers names that would sound good together.
