What Was Your "Push" Present?

I know it's not standard with everyone but it seems to be becoming more popular for the father of the baby to present a "push" present to the mother of the baby for all the hard work she did throughout her pregnancy and labor.

This will likely be her last of three kids so something sentimental would be great. Any suggestions? Thanks

Getting a Baby to Sleep Longer Through the Night.

Just wondering if anyone had any tips, techniques, advice on getting a baby to sleep longer through the night.

He does wake up sometimes because he has gas (any advice on that would be helpful too - I think if he didn't have gas he might be sleeping longer too). I breastfeed him and he sleeps in a bassinet right next to me (and every sound he makes tends to wake me up). Thanks for the help.

Tell the Name or Keep It Secret?

After people ask us what we are having...a boy or girl, their next question without fail is: "What are you naming her?" We have a very hard time thinking of and agreeing on names. But here's the question: to tell or not to tell? When I was pregnant with my first, we found a name we liked and we told people that name. Well, we would get weird looks, snide remarks, or people would tell us not to use that name ... like they had a say or something. It actually kinda ruined the name for us. So when we decided on a different name, we also...
