    Since I'm relatively ignorant, how would you classify your religion?  Christian?  LDS?  Some other sect of Christianity?  (Not meant to offend at all - apologies for my lack of knowledge on this issue; genuinely curious.)

    We would fall under Christian - Protestant to be more specific.  

    No offense taken. 

    Okay, then a follow-up, since I'm (non-practicing) Methodist and DH is (non-practicing) Presbyterian, which I think both technically fall under the Protestant umbrella - what denomination of Protestantism most closely aligns to your religious beliefs?  I definitely wore jeans to church so that's why I'm curious!

    We are Reformed - Netherlands Reformed to be exact.

    One thing DH does that annoys you or drives you crazy (no fair saying there's nothing he does - I don't buy it!)...

    haha, there's no way I'd say there isn't anything: His sloppiness and not picking up after himself drives me nuts!

    Do you play any instruments?

    Yes, I had years of organ lessons when I was growing up, then I took piano for several years. I also play the panflute, this was self-taught so it's not that great.

    Would you prefer a boy or a girl?

    Hmm the word prefer makes this tough, because really I just want the baby to be healthy. Doesn't matter if it's a boy or girl...

    That being said if I had to pick one or the other for baby #1 I'd say a girl. I love the fun girly clothes etc.

    Are you sharing your name choices?

    With anyone on the nest etc yes.. haha Smile 

    Girl: Taylina Elizabeth

    Boy: this is a little more challenging, we had picked out Grant John but then DH decided he wanted to change his mind so now it'll probably be Zane William.

    The reason he changed his mind is because him and his dad are both John William. DH is the III which he doesn't want his son to have to deal with being IV, because there is also another John "our last name" that lives here in the area that we know. DH's Grandfather was just John, so technically DH shouldn't be the III but his parents figured it would be easier that way. So anyway a while ago DH had come across the name Zane as a variation for John so now he has decided that he wants to do that, so that it's still "following" the family tradition to a certain extent.

    I haven't decided if I'm crazy about the name Zane or not, but I can see why DH want's to do it and so I'm not about to say NO to it either.
