Baby Boy Name

We are expecting our third child in March, and for some reason, I'm having a hard time with a name. We don't know if it will be a boy or a girl (didn't with the two boys we already have either), so we're coming up with a boy name and a girl name. If it's a girl, we're thinking about Nadia Louise. And our boys are Zachary and Ezra. Now, I'm the first to admit that I get a little neurotic when it comes to names; I seem to have a silly list of criteria for them. But I want something that's a little traditional, so it doesn't sound like...

Need to Pick a Carseat and a Stroller

I am looking for a sturdy, but light weight, stroller that will recline into a completely flat position. I am really suprised that I am having a hard time finding this. All of the strollers that recline flat seem really heavy and cumbersome and the lighter weight ones seem to only recline about 3/4 of the way. Any suggestions? Also, does anyone have any consumer report info on car seats? We still need to buy that as well. thanks a bunch!! D.

Great Grandma Just Passed, How Do I Tell 5 and 3 Year Old?

My grandmother (kids great grandmother) just passed away yesterday and I've not told my children yet. I'm just having a hard time even getting the words out. We see her about once a month, and the children talk about her... so it's someone they know and love. This will hurt them, but how do I minimize that pain, they're still so young. I just got some books at the library, but I'd love some guidance about others who have gone through this with young ones. Thank you so much!
