"Does anyone else not test early" Refugee Club

[annio84]

We have hector for a boys name and sophia for a girl.

Ladies, if any of you are that way inclined please pray for my sisters little girl. She was taken to neonatal unit last night and had NG passed and they think she may have an infection. I'm sure she'll be fine but a little more positive energy never hurt anyone.

Lotus have a great time at your shower! I also love watching my belly moving around. DH and I usually lay in bed at night watching him.

I leaked quite a bit in my first pregnancy starting fairly early on and with the second and this one it only comes out a little when pressure is put on them.

Love the names everyone has chosen! I think I said this before but our boys name will be Landon (although DD2 has informed us that she hates the name ). Our girls names are Alyssa and Kadence and had this one been a girl I liked the name Hannah but it wasn't something DH and I talked about.

Annio your sisters baby is in my thoughts and prayers!! BTW I always loved Sophia for a girls name!

 

[Toms Mummy]

Annio, she's in the best place x

I love the name Hector, it's so old fashioned!

Alyssa is lovely too!

I have no idea how to broach the subject with OH. We had no girls name last time and our son is named after my OH's grandad. I really like Seb for a boy and Maggie for a girl but not sure OH will go for them.... Or I dunno, he might!

 

[Noo]

Love the name Jensen Noo!

Thank you It isn't common knowledge on FB etc but a few family and friends know our choice and seem to like it. Surprising really as I expected a few negative comments about racing drivers etc! Some people can be so rude with naming babies!

I've been hesitant to tell "real" people our name choice as well as I can't stand the faces people make if they don't like the name. I wanted to wait until we had him to tell people but DH has been telling people out of excitement so I can't be bothered by it. I don't think anyone we know would make a negative comment to our face but like I said some don't hold back on the faces they make when you first tell them.

We registered Coby's birth and got his birth certificate whilst still in the hospital - My auntie STILL pulled a face and replied with "OH so you've ACTUALLY gone through with that name, can you change your mind?!" Erm, how RUDE!

 

[more babies]

Wow that's terrible! We got a lot of interesting comments from strangers on Kadence's name. People either loved it or hated it. They'd be like "ohhh that's different" but it was more the tone and way that they said it was very clear they didn't like it. It's a little more heard of now especially Kaden/Caden for a boy has become pretty common so its been a while since anyone has commented negatively on it.

 

[more babies]

My mother is a big face maker so I haven't told her the name yet. I honestly don't think she knows she does it but it bothers me.

 

[Mrs. Eddie]

Beautiful names too Annio and Tom's Annio, I will keep your little niece in my thoughts and prayers.

Morebabies, I love the name Kadence, very pretty.

I don't understand why some people feel that it's necessary to comment on baby names but to be honest as long as my DH and I like it I could really care less what they think. As long as I am not naming my child something completely ridiculous, I don't think people need to comment at all. One of the names we also like for a girl is Harper and if I have another little girl that will be her name. When we discussed it with people we got some negative comments and my DH wondered if we should just drop it. We talked about it and realized that it is our child and our choice, people can feel free to comment if they want but really not our concern. And really it is in poor taste to make those types of comments . Plenty of friends have chosen names for their kids that I do not particularly love but I certainly have never said anything about it.

Harper is one of my fave girls names Along with Willow, Autumn and Piper. Unfortunately we're having a boy and my DH isn't really into "airy fairy" names but I LOVE dreamy names hehehe

Thanks! I suppose I should be more confident like DH is in telling people names. I would never let someone else's opinion change mine I just don't like the judgement on something so personal. Personality flaw on my part.

I too love the name Harper. I've never heard Isla but do think its a beautiful name!

 

[Toms Mummy]

Completely unrelated to pregnancy but my son got in to our 1st choice primary school today

It's not our local school and it's very small so was worried that there would be no spaces but yey!

 

[more babies]

That's great Toms!!

 

[Buttercup2]

Congrats, Toms!

It's always amazing to me how people feel free to express their negative opinions about names. It's just so rude! There's always a way to say something polite, at least, even if you can't think of anything nice to say. You might not like the name "Strawberry", but doesn't it have a lovely ring to it with the mother's last name? Oh, "Brick" is such a nice, strong name for a boy. Maybe I should start telling people that Miss Manners would be embarrassed for them

Afm, the baby has decided he/she is a karate master today. I told one of the women at work that the baby was moving, and she asked me if I just loved it. I have to admit, right now I sort of don't! It feels SO WEIRD! But I am sooo glad to know the baby is ok, it's very reassuring.

 

[Mrs. Eddie]

I don't think it's a flaw on your part Morebabies, I think we all are protective of our LOs already and it is hard not to take offence when someone is criticizing something related to them like their name. If anything it's a personality flaw of the person who chose to make a rude comment.

And thanks for all the nice comments re the name Harper too, I knew we made a good choice

Congrats Tom's, exciting news

Buttercup, apparently lots of women find first movements odd. My midwife asked if I liked it or not as a lot of their clients have not. I must admit that I did not enjoy Isla kicking my ribs the other night...

 

[Toms Mummy]

Mrs Eddie, that has reminded me of when I was pregnant with Tom and his foot was loded in my ribs for days! It was horrible!.... I'm still trying to distinguish between baby kicks and wind I can't wait to feel him properly!

 

[Noo]

Baby movements sometimes make me feel sick. I didn't like the fluttery stage, it felt like my stomach was turning over prior to ring sick! Feels much nicer now its distinct kicking but still don't like it when he flips/rolls! Ugh! Alien attack! Lol

This little guy is constantly moving so I'm a little afraid for the coming weeks as some of these jabs are going to start really hurting. Neither my other two moved quite as much as this one does.

DH is leaving for a couple days next week to go racing. I wish I were able to go with him and am really bummed to be missing it.

 

[Toms Mummy]

More babies, do you have anything planned while your OH is away to keep you occupied? My OH works away and is currently halfway through his usual 2week stint. I take the opportunity to watch crap he doesn't like on the telly and go do stuff like shopping without him moaning

 

[more babies]

Well between 2 kids with school/sports/dance, 2 big dogs and 2 cats I think I'm pretty much covered in the keeping busy department But oddly enough when he goes away I get really lazy with doing stuff around the house. However, since I haven't been the one doing much anyways lately it'll just be as usual except he won't be here at night.
