Most Unique Baby Names Now Revealed for Minnesota

One of my biggest fears when I was pregnant was that I'd go into labor in aisle #4 at Target. I'd be pushing my red cart, filling it up with things I really didn't need, and then BAM!, my water would break and the baby would be born right there at the store...in front of everyone.

That was fear #1. Instead, the opposite happened. My labors were so long that I would have had time to finish up my shopping, put it all away, go back to the store to buy even more and still make it to the hospital in time.

Fear #2 was that I'd pick the wrong name for my brand-new baby.😲

I didn't want one of my first decisions as a parent to cause my kid to hate me. I also didn't want to be one of the 1 in 10 moms who regretted what I picked for my kid.
