Congrats on team blue Chaliekeyes!

We have a list of names we like for boys and girls but nothing officially picked out yet. Maybe once we know genders, but may wait to decide till we see them

Having a grand debate in another mom group I'm in on Facebook about crib bumper pads. What have you all done or plan to do? Use them or not? I'm pretty much decided on not. All the evidence I'm reading about is saying they just aren't worth the risks they impose.

My daughters crib has bumpers on it. She didn't sleep in her crib until she was able to roll so I was never worried. The one time she laid in her crib without bumpers, within seconds she had an arm or a leg through the crib (can't remember if it was an arm or leg).

As for names, we aren't even thinking about it until we know if the baby is a boy or a girl. Names are so hard, so we are waiting so that we only have to come up with a name for a boy or a girl, not both.

Nah no crib bumpers here for us! Never used them .... Don't get the point of them really?

We have mesh bumpers - keeps her limbs from poking through but no danger to them.

We're team yellow, so will have sets of names for both genders, as we did last time, but haven't picked anything out yet this time. We found girls names really easy and boys names harder!

 

[CharmedKirsty]

Any of you have names picked out yet?

For a girl Paige but we have nothing for a boy.

Charlie-- Congrats on team Blue!

We have Esme Margaret picked out for a girl and Parker Jay for a boy.

 

[GeralynB]

Those of you feeling kicks, is this your first baby? I know I'm still early and it's my first so I probably won't feel anything for a while.

As for names, we have a girls name we like but no idea for a boy. I guess we'll wait to see what we're having before we really start to think about it.

 

[zephyr]

We have Lillybelle picked out for a girl but im not sure if we will have one l in lily or two. We had that name picked out over a year ago so im hoping its a girl.

no boys name yet.....boys names are so much harder. Hubbys no help either he sucks at picking boys names.

I used one with my ds, but probably won't with this one. Or at least a mesh one.

Thomas is a beautiful name! We're naming our LO Finn.

I like Finn

I like Thomas too

Congrats CharlieKeys on team blue!

If mine is a boy I want to name him Benjamin Thomas (Thomas is my Dad's name)

So I had an appt today. Got to hear the heartbeat But now I'm kinda freaking out. I told her about this odd pain I have real low down and she was feeling my uterus and really squeezing it. She squeezed so hard baby wrenched and freaked. It was the weirdest feeling ever! But now I have an odd pain similar to what I always feel but on the opposite side. I know I'm being stupid, but I'm afraid she made baby tangle itself in the cord and is dieing or something equally stupid! This is dumb and baby is fine...right?

congrats on team blue!

Congrats on team blue charlie keys!

Kel I'm sure baby is just fine but I'm such a worry wart I can totally relate to thinking of (sometimes crazy) things that could be wrong whenever I have any pain or twinges etc.

My ds is convinced baby is a boy and is desperate to call him Flynn! He even tells people that's our baby's name lol dh likes Jackson but I'm not so sure, and also Noah? So far no girls names. Think we'll wait until we know gender before discussing it properly, although if it's a boy I'm not sure ds will give up on Flynn

What is the point of feeling uterus if you heard HB? At this stage not like they can deliver you. shaking head. I would think baby just moved to the other side or changed position so feels odd.

 

[MamaMac123]

Great names everyone! I actually really like Flynn!

Our fav boys names:

Sawyer
Cody
Jackson (I think I'd call him Jack though)
Adam
James
Archer
Skyler

For girls my top name is Brooke

Also like:

Peyton
Sawyer
Skylar
Mandy
Merida

DH loves Justice for a girl but I'm not keen on it at all so trying to steer him from it haha I'm pretty set on Brooke so hopefully won't be an issue unless we have 2 girls. Haha

I've always loved the name James. Even as a kid I named my favorite teddy 'James Snoopy Wally' lol

hubby will not agree with it though he is set on weird names. So far he likes Bear and Julius. Gaaah.
And if it gives you any idea those two names are the better two of everything hes suggested.
Even his own nana said to me "please don't let him name the baby" lol so im really hoping for a girl as our girl name is sorted.

Congrats on team blue charlie! I get to find out next wednesday, I'm super excited!

My husband and I have decided on names long before we were even pregnant! For a girl we want Amelia Margaret. Amelia being his great grandma's name and Margaret being my great grandma's name. And for a boy Alexander Thomas. Alexander, just because we like it and Thomas because it's a family name on both sides.

I've had minor pains and twinges in my stomach the past few days. It's been awfully uncomfortable. Nothing major, but still uncomfortable. And I've been having awful headaches all week. Tylenol sucks, and does nothing. Coffee is the only thing that is helping. Good thing I love it!

She was checking for hernias and I don't know what else! Lol.

I just pulled out my doppler and the lo is kicking and beating away! I'm just not happy unless I've got something to worry about I guess! Lol

Loving all these names!

 

[StarBrites]

We've named our little girl Elysia Marie. Pronounced e(or uh)-lee-see-uh. Ellie for short. We really loved the name Ellie right away before we even got pregnant but wanted a "full" name.. if that's what you'd call it =)

 

[newlywed2013]

We picked emersyn Lynn for a girl and Greyson Allen for a boy.

It's my first and I felt flutters a couple Weeks ago, and starting a few days ago I feel an occasional kick

 

[jmandrews]

Love all of these names! We chose our DD's name before we knew she was a girl I'm so excited to hear the names chosen. It's so special. Something that will identify them forever.
I forget who was asking about when they might feel baby because it is their first. I felt DD just before 16 weeks. Felt like tiny popcorn pops. Wasn't as frequent at first but kept increasing into strong kicks best part! I loved being pregnant. I can't wait to be again.
Thanks Yo Yo for asking. I'm do pretty good just waiting to O. DH has to go out of town for work (of course during my fertile week) so hoping we still have a chance. Timing isn't on our side this cycle. We will see.
I've been keeping busy with photography sessions. I had a bunch of babies born this month. Lots of newborn sessions and an engagement session coming up next week. just trying to keep myself busy. I am keeping a TTC journal if anyone wants to follow my journey feel free! Hope everyone enjoys the weekend!
