Good luck with your scan, hope it comes round quick for you MTC

AFM - I had my 20 weeks scan today. She is a healthy little girl, no problems seen, thank God! We asked the sonographer if we could find out the sex even though we knew, she is still a girl She was being rather good today for the sonographer I have scans every 4 weeks from now onwards up until 38 weeks.

I'm 20 weeks now and having some pressure really low (like vajayjay area) lol. It started after I went Turkey hunting this morning and had to walk a mile or so. I was sitting in a weird position for a while. I'm just nervous Bc I've been reading it can be a sign of preterm labor. It almost feels like she's right on my cervix. Anyone else experiencing this?

 

[Zebra2023]

I am experiencing this as we speak Nik, it is normal, try not to worry

 

[Mum2Micah]

Thanks ladies. Im glad you dont think im being silly. A part of me wants to just say thats our name and we started calling him that but I just don't want to cause a fight with my sister. We are really close. I thought she would say we have 6 names so we won't use that one but now she says its her partners favourite so they are likely to use it. I guess I have to let it go as everyone in my family thinks I should and just choose another. Not easy when we don't like any others and my hubby has been set on this name for years as one of our sons names. Ok sucking it up now even though I'm pissed off haha

 

[gatorj]

This morning I woke up to little kicks! I have been feeling all day. So excited!!!

 

[Melissa_M]

That would piss me off... why is it her name just because she got pregnant slightly before you?? I'd tell her you're naming him that no matter what... even if you don't....that's your best bet at getting the name, then if she uses it you'll have 10 weeks or so to find a new one if you want.

3 days till my scan!!! Will it be girl #3 or our first little boy?!

 

[LiteBRIGHT33]

I'd be mad too if she just put her claim to a name like that without it even being her number one pick! It's her partners favorite name but it's not hers. and you and your husband already were set on that. She has a list to choose from. She should be a little more sympathetic. Stick your ground!!

 

[nico82]

I know this may be crazy but you could probably agree with her to draw straws or something, I know that its an out there idea, and I also know its hard when you are dead set on a name and cant think of another.

But at least this way, you either accept you both liked the name and tried to make it fair, or you sit tight, she may not even use it in the end.

 

[Mum2Micah]

Thanks Ladies I had a chat to her and said we are set on the name and we will be using it and she can too if she wants. I didn't want to upset her but needed to be honest. So she said the name is all ours She was really easy going about it in the end and said because she loves me it's off her list. So we now have the name for our boy and am very excited!

Gator; very exciting. How cool are feeling the little kicks?! Hubby felt the kicking for the first time the other night too so its cool for him to bond with him

 

[adopim]

Mum2Micah: I'm glad to hear it turned out just fine

 

[Asher]

Glad you sorted the name, it's hard with family involved!

 

[kaili]

So glad you sorted the name situation. I was yelling at my husband about it yesterday HAHA. Fortunately none of my 5 siblings are preggers right now so I don't have that issue, but I went off on a tyrade in bed last night about "this girl on my baby forum who's sister etc etc, you know the story" and how I'd punch Annie in the face (my sis) if she tried to do that to me LOL... his only response was that I've been a volatile crazy person since like 2 months ago and he was going to agree just so I don't punch him too HAHA (even though he could care less)

but seriously, so glad you two worked it out peacefully. for me it is hard to be peaceful these days when something tedious happens because whereas pre-pregnancy I was super relaxed, the slightest of things set me off now. maybe its the testosterone from lil man... yes, it must be.

Speaking of names, I'm wondering what people have been considering. Since we don't know each other in "real life" we don't have to worry about name stealing here! We had a boy name picked out (Logan Thomas) so of course, we're having a girl! Haha. Girl names we are now considering include:

Isabelle (no particular significance, though it is a variant of Elizabeth - see below)
Lily (the translation of my name)
Elizabeth (DH's grandma's name)
Ruth (my grandma's name but my DH's idea)
I like Lucy but have a cousin Lucy already.

Middle name wil probably be Lynn (after my Godmother), Marie (after my grandma), or Elizabeth (after DH's grandma) -- all deceased and close relatives. I like the idea of a name meaning something. I wasn't named after anyone and would like my baby to be.

Me and hubs have had names picked out before we even started trying and since we are having a little girl it looks like the girls name it is

Amelia Marie ( or Mia for short)

I couldn't do Lynn as a middle because that's mine and my moms lol so I did it after my grandma

 

[klcuk3]

We're working on names still....it's harder second time round lol!

If its a boy we like Dexter Ernest (Ernest after DH's granddad who passed away last year).
Also contemplating Carter as a first name.

Girls names we're finding really tricky
Caleigh Isla
Libby
Holly
Keira
This is the short list so far.....Isla will be middle name whatever we choose as I really want it as a first name by DH says no!

DD is Amelia Macy xx

I like all of those names except Ruth, but it has family significance so its different for you ... its like for me, my grandma's name is Florence and while I LOVE her and would love to name my baby after her, I really can't see myself telling my husband to change Florence's diaper LOL...

If we have a girl we are naming her Lexi Dai (first middle), and for boy we are naming him Dylan Dai (first middle), with our last name of course. Dai is my mother in law's family name and since we have a different last name and we care for her FAR MORE than my father in law (they are divorced) we want to attribute to her somehow.

She is also trying to come up with a Chinese name for our son, and we've rejected the one option she has given so far... (An An, kinda pronounced ahn ahn)... but for me, it's too hard to say. This would be a nickname that most of the family will call him, and 'ahn' in chinese is the second part of the word Ping Ahn which means PEACE, and my MILs actual name is PING... in terms of meaning, if you ask me, ahn ahn sounds kind of girly. My husband's nickname is Mang Mang (which we all call him) and it means literally Busy Busy in english, which I think is so cute. English we are set on but the chinese part we're having a rough time with hah

Haha u made me nearly pee myself laughing! Funny pic in my head.
Haha my hubby said I'm a bit crazy these days so I will agree its from all the testosterone from the lil man

 

[Kiss08]

I don't like Ruth either but DH doesn't typically contribute to planning for baby so I'm just happy he's thinking about things. He actually didnt remember it was my grandmas name, haha. I'm keeping it on the list now moreso just to encourage him to keep thinking and contributing. He wants to call her Ruthie as a nickname.

It's funny because when I was younger, I could never think of a boy name I liked but did like tons of girl names. Now I'm the opposite!!
