March 2013 babies

[heaveneats]

have any of you picked out names yet? i so far have Arianna for a girl or Mckayla, for a boy i like Maison or Aiden... any thoughts on what you ladies are thinking

 

[AthenaPlusOne]

Girl we have picked Elliot, but I really like Anabel (Ani) also, so it's a toss up right now. I really like Porter and Cohen for a boy, but can't agree on anything with my husband so we've basically stopped talking about names until we find out what the Nemo really is

Same here, hubby refuses to talk about it until we know the gender. I am a teacher so it is hard to find names that don't remind you of previous students...especially the naughty ones! I know I want to avoid any name with a J at the front cause usually those kids are trouble! and any that end with den... Brayden, Branden, Jayden, Aiden, Zaiden, Hayden...are all no no's on my list.

We've been tossing around names, really like Stella Monroe if it's a girl, and we like a few boys names, favorites so far are Silas or Talis.

I'm a teacher too--I understand I'm avoiding all "den"s as well and anything that starts with a Br or...really even a B. Too common right now. Brayden, Braxton, Brenton, Brianna, Briella, Bria....crazy.

We have only just barely talked about names, and probably won't get serious until the end. We will be team yellow and luckily like similar sorts of names so it shouldn't be too hard to decide. For a boy, our favorite (and probably won't change) is Judah Gabriel. For a girl, we like Alice (I was almost named that after my great grandma), Amelia, and Margot.
the girl name could very well change up until the last moment as we haven't totally fallen in love with anything. I was a bit shocked when my SO texted yesterday that he loves the middle name Sauvignon for a girl. He loves Margaux Sauvignon, as Chateau Margaux is a lovely wine and sauvignon is his favorite varietal. I was not feeling it...AT ALL. It did give me a chuckle though.

That is hilarious...men can come up with funny names. My brother inlaw wanted to call his Tonka Tuff...as in the big yellow truck he played with as a kid. My sister flatly refused but it did make an amusing story!

So glad to meet you and that you feel the same way with the name thing...I think the real challenge with it will be coming up with something that goes well with our daughter's name...I didn't really think about it when I named her but now I am thinking it's going to be tough to come up with some good ones.

Congrats Mahoghani...welcome to the group!
I have been to El Paso in June...it was very hot but we ate at a really nice bakery.

 

[Mahoghani]

Hot, yes! I am so glad I'm not going to be late in my pregnancy in the middle of summer here! On the other hand I'm craving spicy food and El Paso is the place to indulge that craving.

Congrats

I haven't thought of a girls name but if it's a boy it will be called Thomas (Tommy) after my grandad who passed away in December.

Took ages to find a name for my daughter so think I'm going to struggle with girls names!

 

[rose.]

We've decided on Alfie for a boy, and Isabella, Holly or Alice for a girl

There's some beautiful names between you it's really nice to focus on something happy & positive!! I've caved this morning & booked a private scan for tomorrow. My bleeding continued & it's torment having to wait any longer. At least at 10:30 tomorrow I'll know one way or another, fingers crossed! Xx

Hope the scan goes well xxx Do you not have an Early Pregnancy unit at your hospital? When I bled in my previous pregnancies I got scanned immediately at the early pregnancy assessment unit (have two healthy boys so bleeding not always a bad sign xx)

Saying that, I've got a private scan booked for monday because I'm too bloody impatient to wait another month to see whats going on in there!

 

[kraftykoala]

Oh lordy, I just fell down the stairs, freaking out a bit now

Oh my god, are you ok? Did you catch your fall at all? That must've been so scary! are you injured? Xxx

I think we have an early unit but my midwife just said because it's only brown blood to sit tight & monitor it. I've been doing that but feeling my emotional health deteriorating, with nightmares & being totally preoccupied with it so I decided I couldn't wait any longer. I've been feeling like I'm just waiting for bad news & been tormenting myself so this way at least I can move on whatever happens.

I hope you're ok?? You must feel really shaken is someone with you? Xxx

 

[rose.]

Hope your ok krafty, Im sure everything's ok with your LO as he will be safely tucked under your pubic bone at the moment, it's nice and protected in there! Hope your ok

Hi, I have a bean called Niamh and she is just past a year; assuming I carry as I have had two mc, I will be due in March 2013.... so hello to everyone here xx

Hello Skydust!

When you all talk about "private scans" what do you mean? Do you go to your regular OB and just pay out of pocket or do you go somewhere totally different? I wasn't aware that just any place would do a scan but I'm interested in having one before my next appnt as well.

Mine's booked at somewhere totally different as we typically don't have scans here until 12 weeks. I was alarmed about starting to bleed but my midwife said it was ok to monitor things until the 12 week scan. I'm too impatient for that now so I just typed my area and the words "private ultra sound" into google & it came up with a number of places locally. Mine's £50.
