TTC and Beyond!

[Cowgirl07]

Oh and on the middle name front I get called by my middle name's nickname on occasion. Mostly by my paternal grandma but occasionally by my mom and husband.

 

[Kiamaria83]

Katrina are you planning on testing or waiting ? I like less common names aswell but there are so Many to choose from.
Cass you have so much info in your brain
Hope thats eased your mind bb.

 

[Cowgirl07]

I'll wait if she isn't here tomorrow I'll test Wednesday morning. Only because they want to schedule my hsg. Otherwise I wouldn't test at all.

I like unusual names too. Not too unusual that it's silly though. I work with children and really feel for some of them. Parents somehow think it's clever to spell a normal name stupidly! No need.

We only ever had one name when I was pregnant with Tristan so will struggle this time!

 

[Cowgirl07]

My favorite now is aurora Marie and Austin Keith
Dh is Abilene Marie and Anthony.
They will probably change when we get pregnant.

 

[morganwhite7]

Aurora is my FAV Katrina!! DH wasn't too fond.. but how cute, you could call her "Rory".. So beautiful!

And BB yes I KNOW..... my MIL is still pushing for us to spell it "Marlee" or "Marleigh".. I chose a classy name for a reason, not to butcher it with make-believe spellings lol! I hate that.

 

[brunettebimbo]

Would you believe someone spelt Isobel like Ysabel!? I mean what the hell?

Tristans middle name is unusual and not something we probably would have picked if it hadn't have been my Dad's name. I do like how it sounds and people always comment on how nice and different it is.

 

[Kiamaria83]

Lovely names katrina. My friend has a daughter called aurelia. I think its so pretty. Whats tristans middle name ? I have 2 middle names and they are ridiculous. Its such a mouthful I sound like a stripper haha .
On another note I ralphed in the lift at work today! It was slightly embarrassing.

 

[brunettebimbo]

You sound like a stripper!? Mine is Jordan! Haha.

Tristans is Tarot.

I think we will have another boy so will really struggle for names. If we had a girl the middle name would be Allanna after my sister who died.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Mine is grace, my gma calls me Gracie though.

BB everyone is different and everyones hcg levels rise at different times, plus you could have implanted on a different date. Don't stress! Rapid results and early results differ greatly, too.

I have lots of names that I love. I like more traditional names. Caroline, Eleanor, Eloise. We'll see what happens and how I feel about them when I'm preggo. Boys names are so much harder for me.

Harper has been on the top of my list for a long time. I love that name! Nice choice, Britt!

 

[brunettebimbo]

Thank you

I like Aria for a girl but Hubby doesn't.

 

[Kiamaria83]

Its too hard to choose I know we'll never agree. I might just put a few faves in a hat and pull one out at random

 

[asmcsm]

LOL Cassidy! I never would have thought of the Miss Zuri thing without someone pointing it out.

BB, definitely agree with Cassidy on this one. Some tests are just way more sensitive and also her lp and hcg doubling rate are going to be different. Breathe momma!

Morgan, I like Jae best I think... Marley is adorbs, those lips are so cute.

Names are so hard. Boy names especially, fortunately that hasn't been much of an issue for this thread since everyone's having girls! lol I liked that Lux was short and sweet and we wouldn't really need to have nicknames.

I'm so jelly right now of all these 3D pics on your profile pics! I need to see little miss Lux in 3D soon! Want to see her chubby little cheeks!

 

[goldstns]

Morgan- love the name Marley jea.

my middle name is serene .. Mom said I was a serene baby

 

[clynn11]

My cousin's name is Antoinette Serene and I always thought her name was so beautiful, even though we all call her Toni lol

Ash- are you guys planning on doing a 3D scan at some point? It was awesome, and I can only imagine how much cooler it would be when they're chunkier

 

[Cowgirl07]

I was anything but a graceful child. If there was a twig I would fall over it.

Well, I get to see her 2D on Wednesday after my glucose test. So I was gonna wait till around 30 weeks for a 3D so that she's nice and chunky but I'm dying to see her now lol

 

[asmcsm]

Holy shit, we might not actually. I just went on the website and it says that the $75 3D is only until 20 weeks. It would be $140 for us to do it

And BB yes I KNOW..... my MIL is still pushing for us to spell it "Marlee" or "Marleigh".. I chose a classy name for a reason, not to butcher it with make-believe spellings lol! I hate that.

Lol... everyone kept trying to get us to spell Leah as "Leigha" but there's no way I was going for that.


So normally (while I've been pregnant & even at my OB appointment last Wednesday) my BP is around 118/72 almost religiously. When I was in L&D a couple days ago it was 131/72 and I thought my calves looked a little more swollen than normal but BP was still within normal range, just higher than my usual & the nurse wasn't concerned. Well today I've felt a little "off" and got a headache seemingly out of nowhere. Looked in the mirror and noticed my face looks a little puffier than normal and so do my hands and legs. Not seriously swollen or anything but puffier than they did. Because of the puffiness and headache and feeling weird, I checked my BP and it was 137/84. Still only considered "pre-hypertension" and not crazy high or anything, but higher than my normal. I don't see my OB again until Friday so I don't know if I should call and mention it or just let it go.
