2nd tri and beyond Due Jul/Aug/Sep 2018

Such great milestone Alligator!!

Starlight, I LOVE the name Emma, if it weren't so darn popular it'd be top of my list but I'm sticking with staying out of at least the top 10 in the last 2 years, lol!

I think either of them go well with Hannah. I went to school with sisters that were Haley and Hannah.

V-day feels so close yet so far. When I had my ultrasound last week baby was already measuring 23 weeks so I'm wondering if he is technically big enough already to be in the "safe zone" if he were born early? I have a slight risk of preterm birth since my last son was born at 35 weeks so it's always good to know he'd have a high chance to survive, just in case. This is for sure going to be our last baby and I want to keep him in as long as possible. Really wishing I could make it to my due date for once but given my track record I doubt that will ever happen

Emma is a beautiful name! I love it. I'm having a hard time deciding on a boy's name. Why do they have to be so hard?

 

[Alligator]

I love the name Emma as well! My middle name is Emily so I think it might be a bit odd to use Emma as a name lol.

 

[Starlight32]

Yay for v day!

My first daughter has the same middle name as me! lol

Husband is being stubborn so baby will likely be Haley. I like it but have always liked Emma.

Thanks ladies, I haven't mentioned it to DH yet; want to get information from my doctor before I let him in on this, considering it's a serious issue. I just want to make sure I have answers to any questions that he may have for me.

But I hope all you lovely ladies are doing great! We find out the gender on Monday, completely anxious about it because my gut feeling is that it's a girl! It's crazy how fast everything is going so far, still doesn't seem real to me yet. I haven't made any preparations for anything and the 'baby's' room is in shambles; hopefully no one is behind the ball like me. Still waiting for baby to move, I'm feeling slight and subtle movements or gas; I'm just waiting for the punch so to speak.

 

[Alligator]

Don't even worry our babies room is also in shambles lol. It's still our guest room! We have most everything (big items) bought and currently sitting in our kitchen/living room because we have to empty the baby room first. And I'm a month or two ahead of you lol. Don't panic, it will all get done! People keep telling me babies need very little at the start.

 

[hellojello25]

I love the name Emma for a girl! If this baby was a girl, it would have been in the running even though it is super common.

We're having a difficult time. We know the middle name is going to be William, but we are having a rough time with the first name. On our short list, we have Samuel and Bennett, but we can't agree on ANYTHING! It's tough lol.

I've been nesting like crazy. Our bedroom is spotless right now and has been for weeks. My son's room is also spotless, as is our bathroom, and my car. I would have the whole house cleaned, but we live with my parents and I don't want to be constantly touching and rearranging their stuff. This is normal though, when we had our son, I nested waaay earlier than most people seem to and then at like 36+ weeks when others were nesting, I was laying on the couch like a slug with my huge belly lmao

 

[Starlight32]

Jello is your son in a toddler bed or will he be by August?

I'm unsure if my daughter will be using her crib when baby comes!

 

[Alligator]

Jello my boy name was Bennett! Love that name.

I am not at all nesting lol. I want my house to be clean...but not quite enough to be motivated to get off my ass and do it! I have a cleaning lady come monthly (have for awhile) and I do the bare minimum in the interim, like vacuum and dust and tidy so the house isn't a total pig sty. That being said it's in a state at the moment as I've felt so run down and gross when I get home from work this week Hoping DH and I can devote an hour or two to it this weekend just to do a light clean.

 

[AngelaALA]

Im the same I have gone down hill with the cleaning I get tired so easily the second wind didnt last long anyone elses tiredness creeping back I might go get my iron levels checked xx

 

[homegrown21]

Today is the big day!!! We get to find out the sex of our little one! Been waiting forever, hopefully they are cooperative with us! Will share the news tomorrow!

How did it go???


Also, Fiancé and I have finally decided on a name (we think lol). Bennett William will be joining us sometime in August!

 

[Alligator]

Jello Bennett was our boy name! I love it. We are having a girl but it's on my list for if we have a future boy for sure

 

[homegrown21]

We're adding another boy to our family!! I felt for sure it was a girl, but to our surprise it was a boy! Now the hunt for a name is on and I can't find anything that I like.

 

[hellojello25]

Homegrown - that's the issue we had! We couldn't find anything we liked and if one of us did, the other one hated the name. Bennett was always on the short list, but I loved it while my fiancé was more eh about it. It grew on him though and now he loves it!

Officially halfway today! Although Alex was 10 days late, so I have a feeling Benny will be late as well. Oh well

 

[homegrown21]

I told my DH that he may be unnamed for a while until I find one that I like. I get 'naming rights' this time around since our first son is a Junior. Hoping something pops out soon, everything I see is either to common or too unique for my taste. We'll see as time goes on.

 

[MKaykes]

Choosing a name is a really big deal! It's hard for the first, I can't imagine having to name another child in the future, lol! DH has no ideas, but easily shoots down many of my suggestions. We do actually have 3 girls and 3 boys names in the solid running. Bennett is one of the boys names I like, but it's my aunt's last name so thought that may be weird. I love the name though!

 

[AngelaALA]

Jello amazing Bennett is a lovely name xx

Homegrown amazing team blue so happy for you congratulations xx

Is every1 feeling movements now Alex is so strong feel him moving all the time now everyday I panic if Ive not felt him in a few hours you can now feel him on the outside too its amazing but sometimes it does turn my stomach xx

 

[Alligator]

The movements are my favourite (but I agree sometimes a bit weird lol). With my anterior placenta DH has just in the last 2-3 days been able to feel her clearly and regularly from the outside.. our strong girl!!

 

[lilmisscaviar]

Sorry I've been MIA ladies. Lots going on recently. A major update is that DH had his vasectomy on Thursday so no more babies for us! In a way I'm sad because I'll miss the movements but I'm also relieved. I'm not sure if I could handle a sixth child.

Anyways congrats to those who've found out gender! Lots of boys due this year. I'm having a hard time coming up with a boy name too. I had the perfect girl name but then LO had to be a boy lol. We're thinking Travis Connor but not 100% set on it.
