I've had it told to me time and again that awaiting the birth of one's child is the greatest and most delightful disruption one has in their life. You are definitely providing evidence to this argument. It's chaos, but a good kind of chaos. Wow, two middle names — is that even allowed?!?

Benjamin is a great name (ain't at all sissiefied) and Charles (for Lin's Dad) and Gregory (for Ben's Dad) really works well and continues a family tradition of using the father's name as the 3rd. Good choices. Greg, one must prepare oneself for parenthood. Parenting involves SELF SACRIFICE and putting the little guy first and foremostly at the top of both your lists from day 1 until he's out of the house and on his way to whatever career he ends up doing. There is no book, no hard and fast rules. Common sense and affection both work well along with proper food, exercise, medical, educational etc, etc, etc. "You can do it, We can help" :) Hey, The names are wonderful and fully endorsed by the two of us.
