My hospital considers vday at 23 weeks as long as the baby is measuring okay. But they can not handle a baby that young so if you come in at 23 weeks plus you get transferred to Madison.
 
I can't believe we're talking V-day already! It feels like it's ages away yet, but then I remember that I'm almost 22 weeks already!

It's gone so quick the past couple of weeks!
 
23 weeks today so just one week until V day for me! :)

I feel like the second trimester is going slowly though.. I suppose it's the longest trimester as the third one is only 12 weeks and you get a head start with the first trimester, or at least I was 4 weeks or so when I got my BFP. I'm already lurking on the third trimester forum and feeling jealous of everyone who's there officially, can't help myself... :haha:
 
Yay V day is here!!! So happy. My app told me I only have 16 weeks to go now....eeeeek, that doesn't seem that long!!!!
 
22 weeks! I'm starting to wonder about my baby's name spelling.. I really don't know if I like it Bryce. Brice is the original spelling but I don't want him correcting people all his life..thoughts?
 
I like it more with a y. I've corrected people on how to say or spell my name my whole life. It's not a huge deal to me and I like being unique, there aren't a bunch of Katrina's running around. :)

So have I and I'm Melanie. I usually get melonie or melony..or melody
 
I like Bryce, but either way I think it looks perfectly pronounceable! I would say Brice the same way without hesitation. I'm always surprised every time someone says "so is that Holly with an -ie or a -y? I've only met one Hollie in my life!
 
I think Bryce looks better than Brice.... but it's upto you ofcourse!

I'm still not 100% on whether I want to call her Hayley-Joan Boukje or Hayley Joan Boukje. Hubby likes the hyphenated one (Hayley-Joan) but I think we'll probably end up just calling her Hayley all the time anyway, so I don't really see the point. Though I do think it looks better.... :dohh:

My eldest boy is called Jamie Lucas - but we call him Lucas, and we always have to explain to people that his 'official' name is Jamie Lucas, but we call him Lucas. :dohh:
 
Eltjuh, both of my kids go by their middle names too :) I think it's neat, it's a family tradition in my husband's family. New baby girl is going to go by her middle name as well!

I think it would be hard to avoid a name that doesn't have to be clarified in their life unless you pick a very common name. : /
 
I actually hated going by my middle name, so I refuse to do it to my kids even though my husband suggests it... I know for some it's no big deal, but I hated always correcting teachers, doctors offices, having every name on my resume and having to explain in job interviews and correct new co workers, and it was a gigantic hassle when I wanted to change my name after getting married- I wanted to drop my first name and add his but SS won't let you do that anymore- requires background checks and court orders and costs hundreds- so I ended up just adding his name giving me four names... And I still have the first name I don't go by!!

I'm not angry with my parents at all for it- just really hate the hassle. If it's what y'all feel comfortable doing, go for it! Just wanted to share my personal experience :)
 
I'm from Holland and over there is totally normal to have a different 'middle name' or 'christian name' (we call it a christening name over there) to your actual first name.... Mine is Ellen Johanna, but my actual first name is Ella. No one calls me Ellen Johanna, it's just my 'official' name I guess - it's on my passport etc. Over here in the UK at the doctors and in hospital etc they all call me Ellen, because they think that's my name, I tend to just go with it :haha: My mum's christian/middle name is Johanna, but her first name is Ans, not even remotely like her christian/middle name.

For our eldest we only went with Jamie Lucas cause I like the name Jamie (it's my husband's name) but hubby think it's a girl's name..... he always hated his name. So I wasn't allowed to pick it as a first name, but Lucas Jamie just didn't sound right, so we swapped it around.

Our 2nd however, is a lot easier... just Logan.... :haha:
 
I like names simpler too. A lot of people I know go by there middle name but I just think it's a lot simpler to call them by their first name and give them the name you'll call them. I love Leo's name but a lot of people told me it's too nicknamy and wanted me to give him a full name and use Leo as a nickname..I didn't really see the point since he would go by Leo so Leo it was (and my smart 2 year old can spell his name out loud)

Brice's name had a lot of opinions too..everybody thinks I should go with Bryce but I can't stand the y in it. It looks so odd to me but I love it Brice. It just fits better to me. IOf I had heard the name for the first time I would spell it Brice. I think I'll go with Brice. I asked on another website and they said they've heard it both ways and both ways are normal. I just really feel like this is his name like with Leo
 
Everyone has an opinion on names, but in the end, it is your baby and your choice :D 9 times out of 10 the name you pick ends up suiting your LO so well that nobody even thinks twice about it after a while.

The spelling Brice definitely isn't weird! I've only known one person with that name and it was spelled with a Y, so that is just what I'm used to seeing. I would pronounce it the same either way, and I don't think he'll have an issue with it in the future. Its a lovely name! :thumbup:

I was just about to say something like that...... Who really cares how you spell it or what you call your child. It's your decision and really nothing to do with anyone else :flower:
 
We still haven't got any names picked for the baby, really can't come to an agreement on this. DD1 had her name by now, but OH always loved the name we chose for her and I didn't mind it so it was a no brainer.
