KC: I just thought that whatever happens now is going to happen. CD: Going back to another question, I think one of the best things you can do is just help your wife stay calm, because I think that ends up affecting the baby. DH: We quit reading the Internet about stuff; quit reading books after a certain point. Sometimes it just brings up silly things. JK: I found it helpful to talk to other dads about things too. You realize they are feeling the way that I'm feeling. BF: How was the naming process and finding out the baby's sex? CD: Before we were pregnant we decided we wouldn't find out the sex until the baby was born. DH: We decided to find out. I really didn't care and she kind of wanted to. She was going through so much, I thought her vote counted a little bit more than mine. JK: I wanted to and she was a little undecided. We were both glad that we did. We felt like we could talk about 'her' and not 'it.' KC: They say that 90 percent of people find out beforehand, something really high. Don't quote me on that. JK: With us, since there were so many unknowns, knowing that made it feel like there was a little bit more control. CD: For names, we were lucky we didn't have any real issues. Early on we both came up with a similar girls name and she made a variation of that, which I liked. KC: We were kind of the same way. DH: We waited until the end, until after the baby was born. CD: It's not an easy thing; there are different categories - classical names? DH: Biblical names KC: And then you know somebody named something and you're like, "I can't name it that."
