[ClaireJ23]

It does seem like a lot of losses here. I'm usually feeling optimistic for all of you ladies and myself but it's hard to be sometimes.

Ok, just wanted to update.... heartbeat was at 177, we saw him/her squiggling around a bit and baby is measuring great!!! Today was just sonogram, tomorrow is appointment with my gyn. We are excited and I feel some stress has been lifted!

Welcome to the new ladies.

Yay for good scans cdelmar.

 

[tallybee]

Welcome to leah and the212!

Cdelmar - great news!

 

[GingerPanda]

Welcome, the212! I've added you!



Ladies, I've fallen down the rabbit hole of names! Can't even think about girl names. The feeling is so strong that this baby is a boy.

How would you pronounce Lucian? Would you pronounce it the same or differently from Lucien?

 

[Babee_Bugs]

Hi and welcome to the new ladies

AFM - I'm watching one born every minute!!! Hehe

 

[cdelmar]

I would pronounce them different ginger.

 

[GingerPanda]

I would pronounce them different ginger.

How would you pronounce each one? I like the pronunciation "lu-see-an" or "lu-see-en". I'm just not sure how to spell it.

 

[Dark_Star]

Great news cdelmar!

There was a gestational sack measuring 5-6 weeks and no baby. I am back next week for a follow up scan and if not improvement they'll discuss ways to ''manage'' it. I am absolutely devastated. I KNEW there was something not right.

For gods sake, who has a VISIBLE bump but no baby inside it. Hate life right now.

Oh hun. Can I say the exact same thing happened to me back in July last year. There was a 5 week sac but no baby. I didn't know about it until I started bleeding at 10weeks4days. It was then I realised I had a blighted ovum. My miscarriage was natural and not as painful as I'd have thought. I'm so so very sorry for your loss. It's very hard at first but it will get easier. It just takes time. My poor hunny cried too.

Lots of love and light your way

Xxx

Ginger, I personally like lucien, only because with lucian... It sounds more feminine???

Depends how you feel with it... Also add it to your surname, see which one pronounces easier and better.

 

[GingerPanda]

Lucien Stephenson.


We also like Layne (Lane). Spelled that way because my dad and hubs granddad are/were both named Larry Wayne.

 

[Babee_Bugs]

I haven't even started on names yet... That's just because my heart is stopping me.

When we have our 20 week scan we will start with names

 

[Babee_Bugs]

I do like layne, but.... You would probably have to autocorrect anyone you say the name too, as they will automatically write or spell it as 'lane'

Also when I look at layne, I see lay-nee.

I hate name choosing

 

[Dark_Star]

Laine is also an option, but that's more feminine. I knew a female Laine.

I'm so sorry hun. Gentle hugs xx

 

[GingerPanda]

Laine is definitely the feminine "lay-ne" in my head. Layne is just like Wayne to me, only with an L. Our kids are doomed anyway to spell their name because no one EVER spells our surname right, and no one ever spelled my maiden name right either. And I have to spell my first name always because there are many ways to spell it. It's not really a big deal to me. I kind of liked not having a cookie-cutter name or spelling. Keeps people on their toes.

 

[tallybee]

Ahh not even begun to consider names yet xx

 

[3boys]

I've picked Aaron and Sophia
