POPULAR QUESTIONS
1) When are you due?
January 26
2) Is it a boy or a girl?
We want to be suprised. Won't find out till he or she gets here!
3) Have you guys thought of any names yet?
If it is a boy, we are pretty much set on Keith Richard. (yes, you read that right. call for the
whole story on how that came about.) If it is a girl, the current favorite is Layla Ann. (Named after a song, just like Michelle was.) But the name does mean "dark beauty" in Arabic, and it is possible for us to have a blonde kid. If so, second choice is Danielle Lee. (Sharing momma's middle name like Keith will share his daddy's.)
4) Do you have a birth plan yet?
Yes, but not on paper. Michelle plans to do a water birth at the Miami Maternity Center
under the care of midwives. They also do the prenatal care. Absolutely no drugs, as natural as
possible. It is very important for both Michelle and Mark, and it obviously what is best for the
baby. Michelle then plans to breastfeed, for the same reasons.
5) What about your baby shower?
Mark's Aunt Ellen has volunteered to do the baby shower. No ideas yet on time. We won't be
registered at a convential store though, everything we want is either organic, or enviromentaly friendly. We also won't be registering for any clothes. We have plenty of hand me downs, and stronly believe in reuse, recycle. You will be able to access our online registry from our blog at a later date.
6) What is Viacord?
It is a service that collects and freezes your baby's umbilicord blood. That blood is full of your
baby's stem cells, and might save his or her life in the future, if the unthinkable should occur
and your child develop cancer. With Michelle's family history, it wasn't even a choice for us. It
is part of our gift registry, and the most important thing anyone could buy us... piece of mind.
7) Is Michelle going to work after the baby is born?
No. Michelle will stop teaching the 1st or 2nd week of January, and then she will become a
stay at home mom. She will do some computer and calling work from home for her parent's
company, so we are fortunate to have that income opportunity.
8) How is Michelle feeling?
In true Craven form, if something is worth doing, then its worth doing perfect. Michelle is having a wonderful pregnancy. Her morning sickness passed with the first trimester. She had some food aversions, but they have passed as well. She is eating as perfectly as she can, very organic, exercising, and the lab results are coming back great.

Michelle, i'm soooo jealous...:-) CONGRATS AGAIN!!!!!
Michelle asked me which version of layla I liked better.
While I like how well you can hear the details from each instrument in the acoustic version, the electric version is simply a more powerful song, and seems to fit the lyrics properly.
I'm so happy for you both! Congrats!
Hey, it's Jeane'. Steph told me that you are pregnant. Congrats! I hope you are doing well.
I like both versions but if push comes to shove, I think Layla electric is more of lively song and that fits better for your kid.
