Ready

I think I am finally ready for the second child. At first, it seemed as if it would be impossible and crazy, but time has passed and it is clear that it is time. Little Soren will have a playmate from day one and Amaris will be pleased to turn into a teacher.

It is only 60 days from the due date and even though that is not far, it seems far off all at once. You wait and wait for a child, but to look at 60 days is still intimidating. Days continually pass and months go by, but waiting for a child can make the earth seem to stand still. Though it is a worthwhile wait. It forces you to stop and think and reflect, consider, and analyze what has been done and remember what still needs to be done. 60 days. Soren is going to be here soon.

A name really does mean so much, but then again, it still has to have a strong upbringing behind it.

A name doesn't make the person. Rather a person makes the name.

We can all think of people we would never name our children after because of kids we grow up with just as the opposite of that is true. Soren will be a "good communicator" and possibly even a little "stern", but it will have little to do with his "name" and much more to do with how he is taught and will grow.
