We are pretty sure on a girl name...Lucy Nell, but are undecided on boy name. I like Jude and Miles but my husband isn't thrilled about either, so I'm not sure. We are not going to worry too much until after we find out...in 2 hours!!!0

Chickybuns- Jude was our boy's name!! But we don't have to worry about that, because we are having a girl:) I think I'll keep it secret for now though. Our other daughter's name is Elsie- after my great-grandmother. Good luck everyone!0 -
DH and I have a short list of 3 names for boys, with the same middle name for each (after my best friend who passed away a few years ago). As for girls, we have one name we agree on, but it's not the #1 pick for either of us. He doesn't like my #1 pick and his #1 pick is a name I like, but it's at/near the top of baby names lists every year. I don't want my kid to be one of 5 in their class with the same name! We are also keeping our names a secret until the baby is born. DH's family is super opinionated, they were so disappointed with my nephew's name that when SIL was pregnant with #2 FIL gave her a list of suggestions! (I think they've grown to like the name, but are disappointed it is not Polish). Last time we were home MIL kepts listing off names to me and I think was getting annoyed that I said "no" to each one (I was also getting annoyed with her!). She kept suggesting names of people in my family, and I am not one for naming children after other living relatives (just my thing, I know lots of people are okay with it). In DH's family there's FIL named Aleksander, my DH and BIL *both* have Aleksander as their middle names, plus there's a cousin Aleksander. AND to top it off, DH has the same first name as his older cousin. MIL didn't care that her brother already used the name on his son, she wanted to use it, too! Anyway.... Inlaws are a dangersous topic with me, I like/generally get along with them, but sometimes I think my head will explode. :explode:
Oh, and we've decided to paint the baby's room light blue regardles of gender. FIL is convinced we know it's a boy and won't admit it (we honestly 100% do not and will not know until birth!)
Any news on the gender, Chickybuns?0 -
I have picked a girl and boy name (we were told 90% chance of a girl at the NT scan, 5 weeks to confirm). Gianna Kylee, (DD name is Bianca Kaylee) and for a boy Adrian Cesar. DH name is Julio Cesar but he does not want to name any of his sons Julio (to common in both our families). We both come from the Dominican Republic and wanted names that are easily pronounced in English and Spanish.0

DH is Polish, and if we choose a Polish name it has to be easy to pronounce and translate into English. People really struggle with our last name, I don't want the first name to be difficult, too!0 -
DH and I had a boy and girl name picked out. But we found out at 14 weeks (and again at 16) that we are having a little girl. So it will be Gabrielle Rose. I had picked Gabrielle before we met, he had picked Gavin before we met so we just agreed to stick with those. We are using each of our middle names to pass on for a girl and a boy.0

I have my ultrasound today and found out we are having a boy! That is honestly what I was expecting for some reason, I think it's because that's what most people were telling me! It was so awesome to see him again, he was squiriming around like crazy, and we got some great pictures!0

So happy for your Chicky!!!I have my ultrasound today and found out we are having a boy!

It was so awesome to see him again, he was squiriming around like crazy, and we got some great pictures!
We have a boy named picked out, Elias Richard. It has been waiting for awhile after 3 girls :laugh: But as far as girl names??? We have totally ran out! There are a couple i liked, but DH didn't and same the other way. I am hoping we come up with something before Skittle makes their debut in October because I have a feeling it's another girl!0 -
Congrats on your little boy Chicky!!
I love everyone's name choices. DH and I have talked a bunch about names and have narrowed the list down but we don't have anything definite. We also decided we aren't going to tell our families (or anyone else) the name until she gets here. This decision was solidified yesterday when I told my mom and SIL some of our ideas. I told them DH really likes Caitlyn Jessica- they both hated it! That's the last time I have to worry about sharing names. That name was realyl high on our list and now I'm second guessing it... Everything else will stay between me and DH- our daughter, our name choice.
Happy Monday everyone!

I really like that! I agree with you, it will be nice to have a name picked out to start calling the baby!0 -
I wish I had done that Becky with our last two. My 5 year old is Meredith Joyce and when I first announced her name EVERYONE thought it sounded too old. My mother (whose name is Joyce btw) tried talking me out of it all the way up till delivery. But looking at her...that IS her name! She is a Meredith to a T! Then with our last we named her Eve Lynn Faith. Most people though two first names was stupid and told us so. But we loved it and it's meaning. Now people love it (after we correct them that it is not Evelyn lol).Congrats on your little boy Chicky!!

So this time when we find a girls name we aren't telling anyone!
Chicky -I really like that name!0 -
I'm so happy for you Chicky! Becky I totally don't blame you! Luckily all the names we have picked out everyone loves or if they don't they haven't said! Haha but we will be naming him/her any name we desire no matter what someone has to say about it. I'm sure after all our babies are here everyone will take a chill pill and go with it lol 0

Congrats Chicky on the news! And the name is beautiful, very cute!!0

Hello all! My name is Jamie and my due date is Dec 27th. I was one of those who got pregnant on birth control so needless to say this baby was a surprise. To date i have gained 14lbs and really concerned that i will end up gaining about 50lbs!0

Welcome to the second trimester. Let's hope both our weight gains slow a bit! But either way, we can take it off after baby!0 -
I've been trying to slow my weight gain down too. I may have overdone it a tad Sat-Mon. I helped landscape my front yard and tweaked my back a little. Then Monday I was super stressed (couldn't stop crying- crazy hormones!) and went for a nice run. The run was amazing; however, it didn't really help my back rest. I'll take it easy by walking all week but I can't stop working out. It's way too easy to stop all together.
Chicky- love the motivation pic!
Jamie- congrats on your surprise baby And welcome to the 2nd tri. I know a lot of starting feeling much better in the 2nd tri. I got my energy and motivationn to workout and simply get off the couch back! 0 -

Girl it is SO easy to stop working out!! I can't believe I got out of the habit of it!! But you know they say it takes 21 days to make a habit so im on my way lol but i did notice that since I've been working out again I've got lots more energy throughout they day! Totally worth it lol0 -

I love the name! lucky for us we have a boy and girl name already picked out for when we find out. If its a girl i get to have dinner at my restaurant of choice and if its a boy my boyfriend gets to have dinner at his choice of place! we have a little bet going on. lol0 -
Had another scare today! I don't know if my heart can take anymore. About a week and a half ago, I had some major bleeding after work. I went to the ER, they found the baby's heartbeat with the doppler, and I had an ultrasound the next day. Baby was awesome, and they couldn't find why I would have been bleeding.
Today, at lunch, I start bleeding pretty badly again. I had an ultrasound in the afternoon, and then saw my midwife. Baby is still measuring 4 days ahead and looking great! The ultrasound didn't show any issues, but my midwife did an exam and said I have a polyp peeking out of my cervix! Polyps can cause major bleeding, and they usually don't remove them until after delivery. I am so relieved right now! I know there are still risks associated with polyps, but that answer is way better than the alternative.
So now I'm just praying that the rest of this pregnancy is "boring"! Only 25 weeks to go!

AJ- oh my! I hope the rest of your pregnancy is boring too! Yikes! I'm so happy everything turned out ok for you and baby!0
-
Wow girl! So glad they figured it out so you can rest without as much worry!!!!0
-
wow.. So scary, but glad you know what it is and the baby is ok.. Hope it's smooth sailing from here on out for you sweetie.. 0
-
AJ: Glad that it's nothing major... what is a polyp though?0
-
Aj - What a relief that LO is ok! I also hope that the rest of your pregnancy is boring and everything goes smoothly. Did they say you could do anything to decrease the bleeding or ruptures?0
-
AJ- so glad to hear it wont hurt the baby. I bet that was a sigh of relief for you!0

Hey ladies just looking for some of your own experiences. I am 15wk5d today and last night after my nightly walk I had some bleeding. Nothing major and I wouldn't have noticed it until I went to the bathroom and I could see it on the toilet tissue. Instead of freaking out like I wanted to I decided to wait and see if it increased or became worse. An hour later I checked again and it was gone and has been gone it was just that one time. Yes I called my doctor and am waiting for a return call still haven't heard anything. My mother in law says it could have just been from the exercise since I upped my speed last night and the miles ( I have been feeling a lot better). I still have some pain/cramping in my lower abdomen, but I have had that all along and was told not to worry about it. I have an appointment next week on the 5th so hopefully it was just the one time thing. Have any of you all experienced this? I think I will be taking it easy until I hear from the doctor or see him.0

It's a growth that's typically not cancerous (but can be). When it's on/in your cervix it can cause irregular menstrual periods. During pregnancy, increased levels of estrogen make them bigger, and the increased blood volume from being pregnant can make them bleed easier.0 -

I am supposed to "take it easy" as much as possible. I've already been lazier than ever, so I'm not sure what else I can do! haha

Thanks ladies for the lovely comments! I talked to my midwife again today, and I have to go see a specialist in 3 weeks. On the ultrasound, we also noticed that I have marginal cord insertion (means the umbilical cord isn't in the center of the placenta) and possible vasa previa (when the vessels from the cord cross over the cervical opening). Neither is anything to be really worried about yet, but early diagnosis can help us to decide whether I'll need a c-section or not! I will be doing a lot of praying in the next 3 weeks that everything is okay!

I have had quite a bit of spotting (before my last 2 bleeding episodes), and the blood was from my cervix, not my uterus. There is increased blood flow to the cervix during pregnancy, and some things can irritate it so that it bleeds a little. Sorry if TMI, but mine will bleed a little if I'm a little constipated and have to push things out. Also, yeast infections are common in pregnancy which can also make your cervix "friable". As for the pain/cramping, I believe during this time the uterus is growing a lot because the baby is really growing. My midwife calls the minor cramping "uterus growing pains".
I hope your doctor puts your mind at ease!!
