I want to crochet one and knit one YouTube is a good place to learn how to DIY thanks. When hubby goes out again I'll ask him to pick up the supplies.
Since I don't know the sex, I will do a light green and yellow one. Then the other will be baby blue and some type of orange color?

Okay so we are having our third boy and have thought of three names so far. We go for non traditional names, our first son is named Makhias (name of a town in Maine...spelt Machias...I changed spelling) Winter (mother's maiden name) and second is Emerson (from Ralph Waldo Emerson) Nathaniel (from author Nathaniel Hawthorne). Here's whats on list for new baby, please, please, please give some honest opinions and some ideas for middle names would be great!!!!

1) Sylas (first name of author that wrote history of town we moved from)
2) Xavier (just like name, lol)
3) Timaeus (from Plato's dialogues)
4) Sebastian (DH doesn't like this name at all).
5) Tobias (but this rhymes with my oldest son, Makhias, lol and I don't like Toby as a nickname).
6) Zayden

I am going crazy trying to figure it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for all your thoughts

I like Sylas Courtney!

Update on me....

20 week at MFM

My weight was in kilos so I forgot to ask to have them convert it. Very minimal gain though if I did. The red patches he said are a reaction to the preservative in the insulin. So they switched me brands. But I guess it's more common with the one I just picked up! May be dealing with this for a while. It looks like I've been beat up a bit. Baby HB was 140. He is all over the place now and I love it! They are going to start monthly growth scans. I go back in February for the 1st one. Makes me nervous. Just want to get him here safely. Anyhow... that's about it! OB next week! Hope they start measuring my stomach. It's odd nobody has done that done yet....

 

[Courtney917]

Thanks I am leaning towards Sylas Alexander. Glad things are going well with you. They haven't started measuring my tummy either. I have my 24 week appt on Friday, I will see if they do it then.

 

[CupcakeBaby]

I love the name Sylas.

Lots of really lovely names on here.

We're keeping ours to ourselves I'm afriad. X

 

[Courtney917]

Thanks

 

[Tournesol]

I had my anatomy scan at last! Everything is perfect and baby was moving around so much that it took over an hour!
Here he is at 22 weeks...

 

[Tournesol]

Courtney, I like Sylas too, but it kind of sounds like Makhias as well.
I really like Xavier and Zayden, with those you have 3 really different names x

 

[Courtney917]

Do you think it sounds silly having a Makhias and Sylas? I am so worried people will look at me strange, lol. I like Xavier as well, DH hates Zayden so I guess that one is out lol.

 

[Tournesol]

No, it doesn't sound silly at all, they just sound quite similar to me, whereas Xavier is really different. It sounds like a good strong name!

 

[Courtney917]

Thanks Tour. I have to talk to DH again, he keeps telling me"we have time to figure out a name!" My response is always...."you never know when baby will come!!!!!" It's like he ceases to realize sometimes babies come MUCH sooner then expected lol. My friend have birth to her son at 25 weeks, so that always stays in my mind lol.

 

[MizzPodd]

I love Zayden but your hubby already ruled that out lol

AFM- so my cervix is dilating on the inside; baby's head is in the funnel part but since I've been on bed rest my cervix has lengthened! From 2.5 to 3 to 3.7 cm as of today's check. So they think its getting lengthening from me being on bed rest. So I am on it until delivery.... Oh and I was diagnosed with pre eclampsia today... Hes concerned because how high the levels were and because its so early on for me to be having this. Borderline severe but since baby scan showed my baby growing right on time, he says maybe mild. If baby was smaller than he would suspect severe pre eclampsia. Um I am overwhelmed but staying as calm as possible because I cannot afford to be stressed! We are praying to get to 24 weeks right now....
The problem is that for some reason my body wants to go into labor super early again, and docs said it has nothing to do with my cervix... My cervix is well functioning lol
Ladies please pray for me and little baby to get to at least 28-30 weeks. I'm praying that I just get to 24 weeks right now and the baby doesn't go down further

 

[Courtney917]

Oh Mizz, you poor thing. I'm so sorry things are happening this way, I just Want to reach out and hug you. I'm praying for you and baby. It's a good sign that cervix is lengthening, means your body is fighting to keep baby in. If its any consolation, a friend of mine had issues with preterm labor. She was on bedrest from 18 weeks on with her son. He was born at 25 weeks, spent a couple months in NICU and now is a happy, healthy little guy that will turn a year old on the 10th. I'm sure if baby is born at 24-25 weeks he/she will be healthy. Hang in there

 

[ILuvBabies200]

Prayers Mizz! Was so hoping for you to avoid this!

 

[Tournesol]

Thinking of you Mizz, hang in there, everything will be fine xxx

 

[CupcakeBaby]

Oh Mizz

Sending all my thoughts to you. Xxxxx I'm surebaby will hang in there for a few more weeks. xxxx

 

[MizzPodd]

Thanks ladies. My ob nurse reassured this morning explaining that my prolapsed uterus is pressing down cervix which is causing the funneling. And it explains why me being on bed rest is lengthening cervix. My uterus isn't able to fall down on my cervix! I'm so grateful I don't have IC. And that bed rest is resolving many current issues... Cervix, pre eclampsia, and heart condition. Resting truly is keeping me going strong with my pregnancy! Our men should be worshiping the ground we walk on after dealing with creating a precious life for almost a year lol
