Did you know that Jason Newsted, former longtime bassist for Metallica, is from Grand Rapids (or, maybe Battle Creek)?

Did you know that Jason Newsted, former longtime bassist for Metallica, is from Grand Rapids (or, maybe Battle Creek)?Get out! I didn't know he was even from Michigan. Interesting.

Wow. Thanks everyone!! I have no feelings either way on gender. I have had a boy dream, but I had 2 boy dreams with DD and that obviously didn't mean a lot! :) I have given up on going into labor naturally and my current plan is to beg (cry if necessary) tomorrow at my OB/Gyn appt for a nice pitocin cocktail. That HAS to be more effective than walking, sex and spicy food! ;)

If its a boy, name it "Jason."

If its a girl, "Newsted" is kinda cute too.

[Lynn]

It's a girl ;)
