Blow it off (for now)

This one may seem counterintuitive, but don't make your final decision until the baby's born. Once she is here, and you're looking at something gorgeous, tangible, and real, you may find you have a newfound sense of clarity. Is she really a Stella or a Sophie? Staring into her eyes will likely give you the answer.
