Congrats on team blue junbait!!! How fun!

Thank you.

We had a name picked out if it was a girl, but we had no names for a boy, even though both of us were hoping for a boy. Boy names are so hard to pick! We cannot seem to agree on any name.

Congrats on team your story sounds similiar to mine lol we were also hoping for a boy but only had a girl name no boy names. But seems like dh and i are agreeing in one already.

 

[Twinklie12]

Boy names do just seem harder, don't they!?

Well I went to the doctor because I just wasn't feeling right...normal...ya know? They took my blood pressure and it was 150/90!!! So high for me. Mine is usually 117/80 or while I've been pregnant it has been 126/70 and 124/70. They said my urine didn't have any protein in it and they are sending me to a neurologist. Apparently migraines are not normal in the second trimester and something could be wrong. So scary! The OB did do a couple of tests on me for a brain tumor though and I passed them so that is good. I got to hear the baby again and he/she sounded good so that relieved me a bit.

How scary! Sounds like you are doing the right thing and your doctors are taking care of you. Keep us updated!


Laurabecca, I LOVE Isabella Zuri! Has a nice ring....

It looks like *maybe* I'll get to find out genders a bit sooner after all. My hubby does IT for a research hospital and has tons of contacts with docs and residents. Apparently there is some study/learning group going on for residents at the hospital where he works and they are looking for volunteers in the second tri to come in on the June 18th for a freebie ultrasound so the residents can learn. Bonus, I'll also get paid $120 if I participate. No guarantee, but if I do it, I'm hoping they can tell us genders! Don't see why they couldn't... DH was going to try to get me signed up today.

I did an ultrasound training day last time I was pregnant. It was great fun seeing DD for so long and learning about the scanning process! I got some great pictures. We already knew the gendee, but they did confirm it for us.

I went to ER about a month ago with blood pressure 150/93, I'd had a headache for 3 days straight and finally realized my bp may be high. The ER doc put me on Labetalol 200mg twice daily and I have to monitor my bp daily. The medicine won't harm baby at all, and its working great, my bp is in the 120/70's now. No protein in urine. My doc monitors me extra careful and I see a prenatal specialist about once a month too because of the blood pressure I'm considered high risk. My last pregnancy I got preeclempsia and had to deliver at 35 weeks, so maybe with medication and extra care I can avoid that this time around.

PS all the ladies that mentioned headaches or migraines, that could possibly be a sign of blood pressure getting to high. I used to be a pharmacy tech at a hospital and one time I had a headache and one of the nurses took my bp. My pressure was normal, but I've never forgotten that little bit of sage advice.

I like the name Zoe!! I mentioned it to my husband before we found out gender and he said no Z names.. I'm so glad he liked the name Macie, I was prepared to fight him for that one, lol. I have a neice who's name is Winter and last name is Bell, I love that name. Winter Bell. I like both your kiddos names! And your last name is neat too.

Excellent advice. In my case, I know my blood pressure is normal, and occasionally it actually goes kinda low. Some headaches can be normal, and it's not always something scary, but it's definitely worth getting checked out to be safe, ESPECIALLY if it's something new, severe, accompanied by other symptoms, or something just doesn't feel right. For my part, I sincerely apologize for giving bad advice. I meet a lot of people who say "migraine" when they mean "moderate to bad headache." Which of course shouldn't be ignored either, but my brain saw migraine and just subbed in headache of basically any variety. My apologies.

Boy names do just seem harder, don't they!?

Congrats on team your story sounds similiar to mine lol we were also hoping for a boy but only had a girl name no boy names. But seems like dh and i are agreeing in one already.

Boy names are so hard!

Jalanis, glad you and your DH agreed on atleast one name. Me and DH just cannot seem to see eye to eye on the boy name.

Before I got married I had a name I had to spell and tell people how to pronounce. So happy not to now!

On the topic of names...we have a boy name but not a girl name. I know we could come up with a girl name, but as of now our hearts aren't set on anything in particular, and it's hard for me to think about until we know what we're having.

Boy name has been decided for a long time. DH has had his heart set on a first name since he was a teenager because of something important that happened to him. It's not a name I love, and I pushed back pretty hard for a while, but seeing how important it is to him, and how I have nothing I'm really attached to, I can't really say no. But I still lament having a child with this name. (It's not even a bad name! I just never wanted it for my child. Maybe because of negative connotations, but I don't think that's all of it.)

Then we agreed that I'd get to choose the middle name since he picked the first. And I said okay cool. But now DH wants to name middle name after his dad. And it's a fine name, and it works well with first name, and I still don't have any particular names I would want to choose.

But it feels weird to have essentially no role in naming our son, if we have one. I don't know, I just have weird feelings about it.
