Some babies are more active than others... again, I think b/c of where my placenta is, I couldn''t really tell where the baby was/what position until about 3-4 weeks ago, and now with the movements always in the same place it is obvious. But some babies probably just move around more!
..keep us posted.

Fiery, just wanted to throw this out there in case it applies to your situation at all:
I found out last year that my parents weren''t married when I was born. They had been together for 7 or 8 years and I was planned, but at the time I was born, they just didn''t plan on being married (they were hippies--what can I say?). A couple of years after I was born, they changed their mind and tied the knot at a courthouse. Two of their best friends were witnesses and I was the flower girl.
My parents have one of the best marriages I have ever seen. They still make each other laugh every day. I don''t think it mattered one bit that they decided to get married after I was born rather than before. The only thing that they were worried about was telling me because they thought it would matter. It didn''t. I know that my parents loved each other and that is what mattered. If it''s stressful, you can get the piece of paper later. For now, you and your FI know in your hearts that you are committed to each other and are going into this as one. That is the important thing. If you want to get married first, then that''s great, but if you don''t, I wouldn''t sweat it too much.
Plus, if you wait, you have an adorable flower girl/ring bearer all lined up.
I posted in the Moms thread not too long ago (maybe a week or two?) asking about which classes they found helpful. Some people seemed to find everything helpful, and others did fine with nothing. So I think it really depends. Childbirth''s almost a must for me, since my pain relief options will be rather limited at home and so I want to have as large an arsenol of natural techniques as possible going into it. We haven''t spent a ton of time around infants and feel like a lot of infant care would be easier to learn through doing things in a class instead of reading (I''m a kinesthetic learner), so we went ahead and signed up for infant care. CPR I''d like to take, although hubby''s already certified and says that he can just teach me. My m/w''s going to go over the choking stuff with me during a future meeting, because she said that''s the one take away that I''d almost definitely need (although not until baby starts on solids and starts to put stuff in its mouth, most likely).

Oh yeah! We''re maybe 90% sure on the names now. Mary Augusta or George Everett.Mary for my great-aunt and for DH''s grandmother, and Everett after my late grandfather.
I''ve been having a lot of fun personalizing baby announcements on tinyprints.com. Some names, like Felix, seemed really nice until we saw them written out with our last name on a formal announcement. Not sure why that is, but it helped narrow things down!
