A nice name for boys of nature-loving moms, Ranger is of French origin and means "ward of the forest." Baby-naming experts Pamela Redmond Satran and Linda Rosenkrantz of the baby name site nameberry predicted that Ranger (and other occupational names) would be really big in 2009.

I do know a little boy named Ranger and thinks it's a nice solid name. Seven CafeMom members have sons named Ranger.

Over 30? On your mark, get set, get pregnant! Quick! Why? Well, because women have just an eighth of their eggs left by age 30.

The other morning, a local radio shock jock (and mom) brought up this recent scientific finding. Her proposal: all women around age 30 who ever hope to have a child should take the ever-dwindling hope that's left and go get impregnated (with anyone! one night stand! whatever it takes...) as soon as possible.
