General chatter while we wait (and commentary on the "pull out method")

[gigglebox]

Thanks PL!

Btw ladies, i thought of another name...one I think i love more than Logan....but hubs is quite an obstacle with names as he hates most of them.

What do you all think of Lennox? With the attempt of nicknaming him Nox, not Len. I have to believe this can be done as my nephew, named Sebastian, goes by "Bash". I have hope that parents can pick the nickname!

My son's name is Irish/Scottish so I was thinking of going with Scottish for a second name...

I like it Gigs! I am allll for original names!

 

[pacificlove]

I like Lennox!

I only see thoughts for boy names, what about girl names?

 

[gigglebox]

Ok, we've got it narrowed down to Lennox and Link (hubs' pick). I like them both....it is definitely helping!

Weird follow up on the back story....so you know how a lady prayed for my back? Well i went to the doctor who prescribed flexeril, and when i went to pay for it, it was $6.66 lol. Ohhhh the irony!

Eta girls names: Ember (top chioice)' alternatives: Alice, Annaleigh, Kimber

 

[DobbyForever]

Personally (I am such a baby name hater lol), when I hear names I immediately go to where I have heard them. Lennox I have heard once on that tv show with Melissa Joan Hart and Joey Lawrence. I liked it, but it was for a girl. Sebastian and I instantly go to the dick bother in "Cruel Intentions" or the skeezy serial cheater in "Devious Maids" or everyone's favorite crab. I do like Link because I think of Legend of Zelda. Yeeeeah I'm weird

Those are def unique girl names and I agree that Ember is my fav of the bunch.

 

[JLM73]

Lol Pacific
I actually favor original names that sound STRONG male or female.
Gigs I like al of those except Kimber bcuz it reminds me of a stripper or Barbie's little sister ( doll) lol
I lover girl names that are also guy names Like Riley

 

[DobbyForever]

Glad things with the house will work out either way, PL!

J, I love your mind. Just period. I love it.

Gigs, here's some more test porn for you. These are screenshots since I forgot to resize them when I emailed and am too lazy now.

Claire, where you at?

I flipped out when this morning's frer was almost nonexistent. B****ed at my new gyn so hard. My favorite once JUST moved to a different hospital! I understand it is a promotion, but grr! I got stuck with a newbie, and I had to get on her about my high anxiety disorder. She did; however, finally agree to order a blood test for me once she realized I was not letting it go haha. I went in late so no idea when the results will be back. Normally I go in at 3pm and get them by 8. Shrugs. Hopefully, she'll let me repeat on Wednesday to check and I don't have to B at her again.

 

[DobbyForever]

And bloodwork came back at 43

 

[gigglebox]

Damn, they were on top of that bloodwork!

Nice job! I found my tests when i was preggers with Des (son), but I don't remember getting bloods taken....but i guess i did? Weird.

It's easy to forget. Betas with kaiser can't be accessed online. You can call in. But if you call in then your doctor does not message you the result. If you don't, then your doctor does. So it's easy to forget and lose personal records for kaiser.

They do their bloodwork in house now and it's 15 minutes from a huge hospital either way. Getting another done on Wednesday

 

[gigglebox]

That is super nice about having a lab in house. I'm not the biggest fan of Kaiser, at least I had a bad experience with their ob/gyn department. They were a large part of my "treatment" with my bleeding issues, and were the reason i had an unnecessary surgery (d&c for misdiagnosed "polyp", which was actually just my uterus).

My back is still jacked, guys....the flexeril isn't touching it today...and my dog is being super clingy (he gets that way when i'm not feeling well) and Des is super needy and frustrating and he's getting frustrated with me because i'm not helping him much...

I had to call in reinforcements. T minus 4(ish) hours until Mom arrives!

 

[gigglebox]

Oh thank god, my mom literally just called as i was posting that and said she's leaving sooner than planned and will be here in about 2 hours!

Gotta love moms

 

[pacificlove]

Hurray for blood work!

Looks like it'll be harder to get financing for our place then we thought, it's on a smaller island, guess banks don't like that. Ugh, so frustrated.

On top of that I woke up sore, sore as if I got hit by a car last night. DH and I were working in the yard sunday, yesterday I had some muscle aches, but today is just ouch.

Couple more days and AF should show up, still don't have any tests in my house. I just don't get into town that often anymore... Work is 20 minutes from town, home is 25 minutes from town, and home is 20 minutes to work. (Imagine a triangle for my driving distances). By the time I get into town, and do errands, i have lost an hour. There is enough farm chores at home that I just don't have the energy to go into town after work.
Excuses, I know... just a blech kind of day.

 

[gigglebox]

Why not order some online to be delivered?

 

[JLM73]

Dob you got some nice progression! Especially on the 11dpo cheapie, big diff from fmu to 6pm! Very nice

 

[claireybell]

In the UK we never have standard early blood work done unless theres any problems of bleeding, the first blood panel is done around 7-9wks at first midwife apointment, its nice to have that extra bloods when you first find out as it def puts your mind at ease

 

[claireybell]

I love the name Ember for a girl, i love old traditional names aswell, i also have a mini list lol, Esme, Freya, Gwen is kinda cool, love Avery

 

[JLM73]

Ding! Claire you just named my pick lol Avery!
I love it for a boy or girl

 

[gigglebox]

I also love it! Already have a cousin with a child named Avery though.i don't think i'd pick it over my other choices though love Ember.

I also love Esme, but hubs hates it. Also, I'll admit I associate it with Twilight...which is OK with me as I love that series. Yup, I'm a nearly 30 yo woman who loves me some Twilight.

 

[claireybell]

Nowt wrong with that Gigs, im 34 & love Twilight hahaa

J, id never heard the name Avery before until i saw Despicable me 2 LOL & the name was mentioned, just love it ;-))))
