Due In May :)

Neat! and naw, not for me, it's not just family, it's me to, the spelling might be different but the pronunciation is the same, so I could shout to the world it's spelled different but it won't stop people from saying Michael Jackson lol

Are you girls having any issues being touchy feely with your DHs? I don't know why, but lately I've been feeling "Hey, I love you, don't touch me" lol It's so weird because DH has gotten into this mood where he ALWAYS wants to be hugging and kissy and intimate but I'm in NO mood for it. I feel kind of bad but there doesn't seem a way to 'fix' it. Anyone else having the same feeling?

My nausea has been increasing and today it has turned into vomiting. not sure if it will be a one off or a daily thing...its not nice but it does provide a bit of relief from the nausea

I like the name Keith for a boy...my grandads middle name was Keith but everyone called him by that name. For a girl I like Elena but I think of Vampire diaries now! I do still like it tho. Also like Kaylan.

Need to have a good think about girls names!

 

[Hann12]

Love all the name ideas! I like Ivy, Carrie, Rosalie, Evie, Eva for girls (DH isn't so sure!). And for a boy more traditional names like Benjamin, William, Arthur. Really have no idea though!

Feeling icky this morning still....

Wow - Powell, sorry to hear about all the troubles. It's sad when people think this becomes their business and not yours.
If it makes you feel better, at least you got a reaction - i didnt. We told the In-laws two weeks ago, and nothing. Not a word. No congrats, no questions, and didn't even miss a beat to change the subject really. I was so disappointed - OH says that the inlaws have done this soooo many times, their just 'use' to it - but this is the only time I get to do it - I wanted some sort of happiness. Anyways, on that note, I am not telling them it's twins until they show some sign of happiness for the pregnancy (or maybe that's the horomones talking, idk)

Love the ideas for names here - we are having a really tough time with that too. We have had the name for the girl picked out for years - Emmaleigh, for a boy it would be the best man from our wedding - Neal, but now that there is the poossibility of having a same sex set of twins, we need another name. I told the OH that I wanted to find a good unisex name so that way we stop at 3 names, but not sure I like any so far, The one I'm leaning towards is Hayden. Thoughts?

Yay i just had the midwife come round! 12 week scan booked for 30th October! So so excited now that I've got the date

She has given me tonnes of booklets to read etc and those uk ladies have you got the Emma's diary with the voucher for free gift bags??? Awesome idea for freebies lol

Next time I see a midwife is at 16 weeks but it won't be her as she's going on maternity leave soon!

 

[prolifer]

Loving the names ^^ I like Callum or Caleb for boys

 

[libbyam2003]

Okay ladies, I need ya'll to tell me if I am being hormonal and irrational or if my feelings are legit lol

Okay so we've told close family and friends, but we haven't announced it to the FB world. My in-laws have, I wasn't happy about that but we don't have that many mutual friends so I let it slide. Well my mother in law keeps posting stuff pregnancy related and baby related on my page and tagged me in a pic earlier, so I sent this message to her:

Could you please not post anything on my FB about babies or pregnancy or anything? We haven't announced it on FB yet and people keep finding out.
Not trying to be mean or anything, we're just not announcing it to the world yet

To make a long story short, we ended up going back and forth a little and I'm trying to explain to her that I don't care if she posts stuff on HER page, just not on mine and don't tag me in anything. She tries to put me on a guilt trip and is like Okay I wont post anything at all, no babies, no pregnant, no anything. so I end the convo with

lol Okay Shirley

Convo over...or so I thought..about 2 hours later she gets back on and sends me this

i was not making a joke.

So I reply

I know you weren't but I am done with the conversation because you're not understanding what I am saying. Because if you were, you would have not gotten an attitude and pretty much turned it into an argument where it was unnecessary. Hope you have a good day



Well my father in law just came over to see my hubs for a little and he comes in here and tells me that I hurt her feelings. And I'm like I tried to explain to her that I don't care what she puts, just don't post anything to mine or tag me! He's all like well why don't you want to post anything, she's really excited about this? And I'm like we're excited too, I'm just not ready for the FB world to know yet and I wont be til atleast I'm 12 weeks, maybe even til we find out gender. And he is slightly getting an attitude with me (in the way that I've only seen my FIL in do lol it's crazy, he'll try to make you feel like your decision is wrong, when it's a personal decision. he's an ass sometimes lol it's where my hubs gets it from) like the whole shake your head and scoff/laugh in response, he did that to me a few times. and I don't understand why they don't get that it's OUR decision when we want everyone to know and wish they would just respect that and not act the way they are!


...rant over

wow. i must have the best in-laws ever. they were so happy but keep secrets if told to! that's what family is supposed to do!

 

[Sass827]

Hann- love Arthur. It's our friends boys name and they call him Artie and it's precious.
Bdown- love Hayden. It's the name of my friends daughter. 2 of our names are unisex- Sidney and Dylan. Just in case we ever have girls. If not, they will be boys names.
Jary- congrats on your scan date! I'm so jealous!

Elena makes me think of Fifty Shades lol

Honestly, when I hear the name Jackson, I don't think Michael. Hubs and I know a guy named Jackson. I didn't even think of the association til you brought it up lol

 

[Sass827]

Me either. But now that I live in western Pa, I could see how people would say that. Same as thinking coal miner for cole. very small minded people out here. I wouldn't listen to them. One of your children's names is Aeris? That's super cool and very different, so I would tell people to piss off. Do what you want.

Hi ladies!
Powell: your MIL sounds like a drama queen!! Did they know about your mc?

 

[Powell130]

Hi ladies!
Powell: your MIL sounds like a drama queen!! Did they know about your mc?

No they don't and I honestly don't feel like I should have to divulge that information for them to respect my decision. Even tho it may help them understand, I'm not telling them and shouldn't have to. She IS a drama queen, you definitely got that right

 

[libbyam2003]

How's everyone feeling today??

 

[Powell130]

Pretty good. Boobs still sore. Not as nauseous (which worries me, just a little) but I think everything is fine.

 

[robinson380]

I think I would have to tell her. Not to make her feel bad but just so she understands.

 

[robinson380]

How's everyone feeling today??

very nauseous today and off and on headache.

I like all the names you guys are thinking of, even Jackson (as in Jackson Browne). My husband and I are waiting to find out the gender before picking names, but we have a few ideas already, such as a variation of my grandma's name if it's a girl because she means so much to us.

About telling family, I just got back from my sister's wedding and somehow everyone at the wedding found out I'm pregnant. Word got around by my mom, dad, sisters, and husband, but I'm totally fine with it (and told them that from the start). Some people started suspecting when I wasn't drinking wine or eating greasy foods.

I'm still not sharing it with FB until I find out the gender. I want to tell my first cousins I'm really close with, but they're all kind of big mouthed and I want to wait a few more weeks before everyone in the family knows.
