We have a big walk in closet and I was considering emptying it out and putting a crib and a rocker in there, so that the baby would be nice and close but I could still close the door as to not wake hubby when he has to work early.

DH and I had somewhat decided on names before we were pregnant which are names of our grandparents/parents, now I want to explore other names that I love and that aren`t nostalgic and he`s mad because he loves the names and because they have meaning am I wrong to want to consider other options?
(Name-poll poll by ArcticArlz, 841 days ago)

Yes, you made a decision, he's got it in his head, you can't just go change it. Stay with the names.	3		6%
No, you're allowed to change, until that baby is born you should be able to consider different names, bring out the baby book!	15		33%
Try to compromise with switching out the first or middle name with something new, hope he goes for it.	27		60%
Don't worry about it till later	0		0%

Been focusing hard on getting rid of debt this year, completely drained from being broke all the time as I put so much of my paycheck against it, what should I do?
