Congratulations on the little girl!!!

 

[daddiesgift]

Congrats on team pink! Will you have another scan this pregnancy that could reassure you better? I can't wait for my 20 weeks scan so I can get a third reassurance

 

[ALiKO]

thanks ladies! im still in shock.

daddiesgift- as for another scan i think i get one more around 30 weeks. im pretty confident though that its a girl as there were'nt any changes with her "lady bits" since my 16 week scan.

now for names. who would have thought naming a child would be so hard.

@Aliko, congrats on PINK! We did struggle more with girl names than boy names, but we're both really excited about Felicity. Charlotte was our second and backup, and we thought we might not decide til she was born, but we've really settled on Felicity for awhile now. We have her name all painted and ready to hang in the nursery once she comes! The only person that knows is my BFF who we asked to be godmother. It was her special gift. I'd say we became pretty concrete about it around 25 weeks. My coworker didn't decide for sure til the day before her baby was born. They went with Emilia, but they call her Mia. Another friend just had an "Elise." Good luck!

Aliko: Congrats and welcome to team pink. Don't worry you still have plenty of time for names. I'm still at a loss for names. She was going to be Hana until my 20 week scan I didn't like that name any more. Then I wanted Kaori and OH wants a nice traditional English name.

AFM: she gave me a scare. She hasn't been kicking since yesterday so went to see the midwife today but we found a heartbeat so all is good. Then when I got home she wanted to kick my insides out. Guess she was just having a restful day yesterday or I was running round after DS to much yesterday to notice.

 

[magicwhisper]

ive hardly felt anything today so i am guessing it is a lazy day for baby too

 

[Kwaggy]

Hello ladies! Hope everyone is doing well

I have an appt with tomorrow with a specialist, baby girls abdomen is measuring very small compared to the rest of her body...could possibly be IUGR. If she hasnt grown enough since my last scan I may be induced early :/ Expecting a freezing rain/snow storm tonight and tomorrow, so hopefully we are able to make it to the appt 2 hrs away.

 

[melann13]

Good luck Kwaggy! Yes, weather here in WI is highly questionable
When was your scan that showed the smaller abdomen?

 

[Kwaggy]

My last scan was last week Monday at Meriter in Madison. Her head and Femur were measuring in the 30 percentile, but her abdomen was measuring less than 3%... If it is IUGR, they want to induce before 37 weeks. Hopefully we get good news Tomorrow, Ive been on a high protein diet so maybe she has grown! Either way she will be Just fine, possibly a short stay in the NICU.

 

[melann13]

@Kwaggy, I'll be delivering at Meriter as well! For me it's a short drive though. Hope the roads are clear for you in the morning!

 

[Kwaggy]

Thank You, living in WI we should be used to the snow and crazy weather Meriter is a great hospital, I know my little girl will be in good hands!

Thank You, living in WI we should be used to the snow and crazy weather Meriter is a great hospital, I know my little girl will be in good hands!

We're happy with Meriter as well and love that it is a "baby friendly" hospital. The roads in Madison are clear now, but I think there's a chance of more snow in the morning, maybe just give yourself some extra time.

I told my mom that I may not be coming for grandma's funeral or Christmas as it's 85 miles away... if we do decide we need to stay home, hopefully DH and I can find something nice to do for Christmas all by ourselves. Doc kind of made me realize how imminent this all may be (even though there's no medical reason for me to deliver early) so I came home and finished washing all Felicity's sheets etc. My boss and I have a paper to resubmit and if we don't have it done by Friday it won't happen as she is leaving the country for Christmas. Feeling a bit overwhelmed and all the pelvic pain isn't making my feel anymore relaxed...

@ALiKO If mine is a boy we have a first name because it's been passed from grandfather, father, to my husband and then will be baby's first name and we've thought of some middle names. We had a favorite girl name, but it seems too many people we know have similar names now so we will have to come up with both names if baby is a girl! It's amazing because we'll be naming actual human beings that will have those names forever.

@melann13 That's exactly what we will do. We'll make sure the name hasn't been used by anyone weird/infamous online. Then we will let it sink in to see if we like it over time. I like Felicity! Shall I add that to the front page or wait? We're considering skipping some Christmas parties because people have always been very sick in past years and I might want to avoid that. Is that crazy? I'm just so afraid to get sick now.

@mummy2o I'm glad you were able to go to the midwife for reassurance. I've heard if you're moving around a lot you may not notice kicks or perhaps the baby will sleep a lot.

@magicwhisper It's almost time!!

@Kwaggy I hope the weather is not too bad and you're able to make it to the appointment. I really hope all is well with baby too. We'll be thinking of you. Good luck!

@Kwaggy & @melann13 You both must keep us updated on when you give birth! You could be in there at the same time!

 

[KatyW]

Well, doctor's appointment went well, but I didn't have an ultrasound, . Only appt. where I haven't, oh well. I'm doing an elective ultrasound where my parents live in North Carolina, on Sunday so yay, should find out then!

 

[magicwhisper]

wee arree team

 

[daddiesgift]

Congrats magicwhisper!

Good luck KatyW!

Time is going soooo slow for me!! I feel I've been 16 weeks for 3 weeks! guess its just giving me time to get everything ready. I don't really have much to do but the boys could get a little older that would be helpful!

 

[melann13]

@Hopeful, you can add it to the front if you want. Her name is Felicity Jo. (Our mothers are JoAnn and Joan). There are some cool Felicitys out there including Green Arrow's GF apparently... I'm a Latin nerd and Felicitia is Latin for happiness, plus I always thought the American Girl Doll with that name was cool. Alright, lots of work to do...

 

[ALiKO]

magicwhisper- congrats on joining team pink! seems like so many of us are having girls

melann- yea i feel the same way about boy and girl names. i had a boy name all squared away and found finding a girl name tough. i like your name choice of felicity, its sophisticated and not very common

mummy2o- haha yea i thought i had a name too until recently and now starting from scratch. your right theres still plenty of time left i hope we find our names soon

hopeful- yea our babies will have these names for a lifetime. hope we all choose good names they can carry with pride

 

[mummy2o]

Welcome to team pink Magic. Lots of little girls in 2014 and a few handsome young men too. It is surprising how many are having girls as there is 105 boys born to every 100 girls.
