June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[tinkerbelle93]

Omg another pink bundle! Congrats Geralyn!

Yes it will be interesting to see if there's a big wave of blue bumps next, or maybe this group will just be particularly pink.

Starlight- I do like my name, although it was a very popular choice the year I was born so there were always others with the name in my year at school ect. Although I can't really talk considering my son's name was the number 1 name for the year he was born!

That nursery is lovely!

tinkerbelle93, all the girl names I like seem to been in the top 100 (closer to top 10 lol). I also like Emma and Emily, those are like super popular around here these days!

I don't know if i could handle not knowing gender! there have been times wehre i thought, ok lets do this! and dh is like 'no.'

lol

I also was testing the waters to see if this is our last or if we can have more and he flat out said he's done.

do you ever know in your heart this is the last pregnancy? i guess i always figured dd was the first but not the last, however, i don't feel like this is the last either. don't know if that means anything or not.

I can't wait to find out what team we're on. Hoping to stay nice and busy.

I love the name Juliette but DH isn't completely sold on it so I guess we'll look for some other names but I'm really hoping I can convince him. If we would have had a boy his name would have been Gavin.

Juliette is a nice name!! Has your husband said any names he likes??

 

[GeralynB]

He mentioned Kiera and Courtney last night but I don't like them. (Sorry if that's anyone's name or kids name...just my opinion)

 

[GeralynB]

"Poop deck"

Haha when I saw that I had to have it for the changing table!

 

[Starlight32]

My husband wanted the name Kyra (maybe pronounced the same as Kiera?), and, while I do like the name, I can't see my child with it. I also like Courtney, but it's a similar situation where I really like the name but not my taste for my baby. I actually feel like that with a lot of names lol

 

[gaiagirl]

I have a list of girl names going...I'll share here because we don't know each other in real life lol.

I don't have any top picks at this point but here are ones that caught my interest:
Adelaide/adeline
Cora/coraline
norah
mila
odette
claire
elyse
piper
freya
imogen
Madeline
lydia

 

[Becyboo__x]

We think we're going for Alice

 

[Starlight32]

gaiagirl, my personal favorites from your list are Cora, Mila, Freya, and Madeline!

Becy, Alice is a nice name!

 

[GeralynB]

My DH has a bit of gender disappointment. He wanted another boy. Mostly because he says he doesn't know what to do with a girl (he's the oldest of 4 boys) I think once baby gets here he'll love having a girl

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Starlight, I'm the same all of our choices are in the top 25 at least! Emily is one of our girls contenders too but that always come in the top 3 here in the UK. It's funny how the lists can really vary depending on whether you're in the USA or the UK.

Geralyn- I think my DH would like a boy, I think the idea of a little girl makes him nervous and I think he'd be one of those OTT protective dads lol. I'm sure your DH will be really excited in no time.

 

[Squig34]

Congrats on Geralyn!

We don't have a preference; we just want a live baby to take home. I think I'm having a girl too though!

We've had our names picked for ages so no real thinking required! Not revealing them until baby is here though!

Gaia, loads of lovely names on your list. I really like Adeline (& Coraline).

Becy, Alice is a pretty name. Alice is my friend's sister's name so I wouldn't choose it, but I like it

Dobby, nice of you to drop by! I hope things are going well for you.

Not sure if I'll be popping in tomorrow so happy Christmas to you all!

My OH was sooo happy when our boys were born - he's the eldest of three brothers and really wants to recreate that as they're all really close even now. He literally doesn't get it when I say i'd quite like a girl!

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Aww that's really nice your husband is keen to recreate the set-up he had, and that he's close to his brothers.

Beccy- love the name Alice, it's exactly the sort of name I like.

I think it's harder choosing a 2nd time round, it has to match the 1st one doesn't it?

Told my mum and dad today, they're so happy which is great. I've now told 2 more friends and my grandma, so it's slowly stopping being our secret. It feels so weird!

 

[Starlight32]

Our families know and the friends we talk to regularly know. My work doesn't know yet. I don't go back until January after Christmas break. I wonder if I'll be obviously showing by then (with clothes on)!

I always said I would definitely be done at 2 if we had a boy and a girl but the second I knew my second was a boy I was terrified of committing to that.

Hubby said he was done at 2 but when we were advised to freeze his sperm as prep for his radiotherapy/chemo I realised I really wanted another. This time I am sad that this is our last planned baby but very accepting of it.
