Re: SilverPen & K.B.
How did the DW find out? Is there a reason why she took the test? She was excessively moody and a very hopeful mother-in-law suggested she take a pregnancy test. Which, naturally came back positive.
How did she feel when she found out? She was at at first relieved that nothing was *wrong* with her. Then a bit apprehensive because this wasn't exactly planned.
How did she tell the DH? Two nights later over his favorite desert..."remember how you said you're like to have kids one day? How about ... eight months from now?"
Did he suspect anything?
How did the DH feel when he found out?
How did they tell their families?
Were their families happy? sad? angry?
Anything else?

Did he suspect anything? Well, when she was excessively moody, he thought she might be coming down with something. He let it slide, thinking that she'd get better and go back to normal sooner or later. He decided to ask her if anything was wrong if nothing happened in the next week, which it did...
How did the DH feel when he found out? At first, like her, he was relieved that it was something good. He had been saving up money in case something like this happened, so he wasn't too worried. He hugged her, and suddenly became very happy when he realized that he wouldn't have to ask her how she felt about kids like he'd been planning too.
How did they tell their families? He decided to make sure that his parents knew that he was very happy about how this turned out before he told them. He started with, "I have some very good news..."
Were their families happy? sad? angry? His parents were happy for him, but also sad that he was growing up so fast. They warned him that this child was a person, and to be very careful with the person's upbringing.
Anything else?
We still need how we met...

Once you have one combo per gender pick a number.

I think we should have some crazy story about how we met. Like we were in a fender bender, exchanged info, and started dating or something. Names...I really like unisex names with standard spellings for girls (Maddison, Parker, Cameron, Bailey) and for boys I like names that are kind of old-school/formal/unusual (Constantine, Geoffrey, Jackson, Ernest) and also Irish names. What about you?

I agree with the girls names. In addition, I like really pretty names, such as Ariana, Daniela, Adele, Laila...
For boys, I don't like any specific types of names, it just depends on the name.
List of names I like starting with E...
Elaine
Eliana
Erin
Evelyn
Edgar
Edward
Emmett
Edmund
What about you? (I just ran out of ideas, that doesn't mean I don't like anything else :))How we met...
One day, I was walking along the street in NYC, (I was on vacation) when I suddenly bumped into a pretty college-aged girl holding a ton of shopping bags. I apologized, helped her pick them up, and asked her for her number. She slapped me and ran away. Embarrassed, I went into a random store. The young woman behind the desk had witnessed the scene. Luckily, she didn't question me as to why I was in her fancy designer wedding dress store. Grateful, I asked her what her name was. She replied...
I have to go you can finish...

I love Emily and Emma.
I also like Elton. What about Edward or Emmett? I know the whole Twilight thing kind of ruins it, but they are good names.

I like those as well but I, also, felt to need to avoid twilight references. So what about the "family" middle names?
