I am not sure if this has been done or not yet.
Remember when we did the post where we got everybodys info together.
EDD- Babies Sex-Names
I am interested to see what everybodys actual due dates were, whethere the gender was correct from the U/S and for those who went gender neutral what they ended up having.
And also to see what names everybody picked. And whether it was the same name they initially picked out.
My EDD was Nov 3
gave birth- Oct 29(never thought I would be an Octo mom!)
I was told I was having a boy and he was a boy
Original names we picked were Ethan and Lincoln.
DS name is Easton
Re: Roll Call
Been a lurker forever, coming out of the woodwork now I guess!
Actual due date was 28 Nov, born on 27 Nov. We had two boys already, ultrasound said boy and he indeed was a handsome baby boy. We went with family names and narrowed it down to two: Coblentz or Owen, we went with Owen.
Will post an intro soon if little man cooperates!
dee & bee
mom & dad to 3 boys!
My due date was 11/29 and Bryce was born 11/18.
He was a boy the whole time.
Bryce Attilio is the name we first both liked and it stuck. I wanted Vincent or Clinton. I still love both.
EDD was initially 12/6/12 then after 2 US it was changed to12/12/12. She was born on 11/30/12.
i was told she was a girl, SHE'S still a girl
from the minute we found out we were expecting we knew the name would be Elliott no matter the gender. We didn't even discuss any other name.
DD was a girl all along.
DH and I couldn't agree on names until the very end. I wanted Eleanor Jane or Ava Claire. He wanted Annabelle or Annelise. We settled on Elise Claire.
My DD was November 12. LO was born November 7 (induced because of medical reasons).
We didn't know the gender.. it was a boy! I had thought boy the entire time so my "mom instinct" was right.
We decided on names just a few weeks before.. we were between Owen Luke & Owen Reid. Other contenders were Noah & Harrison. His name is Owen Reid.
I'm typically one who likes feminine names on girls, but I LOVE the name Elliott on a girl. Hubbs vetoed it.
EDD was November 25th; I was induced on the 29th.
Was told at 12 weeks he was a boy... and he was!
Name is Elias William; it was between that and Elias Carl. The middle names are our grandfather's names.
FTM
EDD: 11/15 Actual: 11/12
M was and is still a boy!
We chose to name him Matthew Joseph and that stayed the same as well

-1 Samuel 1:27
I'll chime in since I'm currently stuck on the couch with a sleeping baby on my lap. He wakes up every time I try to put him down :-/
edd was nov 9, born on nov 20!! I was a cranky overdue pregnant lady!
boy from the get-go.
we tossed around a bunch of names, but ended up going with William James, family names pulled from both our grandfathers, dh's middle name, and my father and uncle. Thank goodness it wasn't a girl, bc we were nowhere near agreement on girls names!
EDD was 11/11, DS2 was born on Halloween!! So fun!
We had some really odd names picked out but ended up choosing Theodore(Teddy) a few weeks before he was born
EDD this time was Nov 29, born Nov 24.
She was a girl the whole time, and I had 4 US due to her being LGA.
I picked her name, Mackenzie, and I knew DH would like it eventually... just like what happened with DS. Her MN is Ann, MIL and my late grandma's name.
EDD was Nov 1, but from charting we believed it was the 7th
Gave birth Nov 13
We were Team Green, had a little boy!
We struggled with names. We thought we were decided on a boy name and a girl name but kept questioning our choice for a boy name. We ultimately named our son Merritt Finley and we both love it.
l. FTM
EDD: 11/16. Actual: 11/9. Scheduled C-section because he was breech and couldnt be turned.
DH and I both had a feeling that he'd be a boy and it was confirmed by the 20 week ultrasound.
We knew the middle name would be Richard after my dad and DH's grandfather. Initially, I liked Alexander or Everett, but DH wanted to name him David or Davidson. We decided on Benjamin (a name that we had previously discussed but werent sure if we loved) in the operating room. It just seemed perfect once we saw him.
We were Team Green, so were surprised to see a little boy. I thought girl the whole time until a couple weeks before he was born and then I started having boy dreams.
Our names were Sophia Ann or Logan Emmett and we went with Logan Emmett.

I love the name Ben, and I would have fought for it if this one ended up being a boy. MN would have also been Richard! DS's MN is my dad's name, so we knew this LO would have MIL's or FIL's (Richard) first name as a MN.
I had to be induced and Jessica Marie was born 11/21.
I am a staying home from work for a while. I have a 6yr old boy and 7wk old girl.
Birthday Oct 27th
They told us he was a boy at our 20wk AS scan. He is a boy!
We knew for sure the middle name would be James after DH's late father. His first name is Copper, it's also an homage to his dad. Copper James. It fits him.
EDD: 11/27
Actual Date: 11/20 via scheduled c secsection
We were told at 20 week US he was a boy and still is! We knew middle would be Gary after my late father but weren't sure for a long time on first. We were going back and forth on Hunter and Brayden. Towards the end of pregnancy we came across Porter and narrowed it to Porter or Brayden. Literally 10 min prior to surgery DH filled out paperwork but told me to fill in first....Porter stuck. Porter Gary it is!
My EDD was November 30.
Had emergency csec November 28.
We weren't going to find out what baby was but we moved into our brand new home and baby's room NEEDED to be decorated before baby got here.
We were told a boy, had a boy.
DS name is Zane Bentley. We have had his name picked out for as long as we had been trying to get pregnant.
Due Date- Nov 8th
Birth Date- Oct 31st
I was told girl, she was a girl!
Original Names- Rylee Grace or Grace Ann
Actual- Grace Ann
EDD: 10/31
Born: 11/8 (we had scheduled an induction but I went into labor before needing it, then had to get a c-section since I was too small and she was too big and got stuck)
At our 12 w appt the tech did a preliminary guess baby was a girl and each U/S after confirmed, she' still a girl
Name: We narrowed it down to Grayson and Ellia. Friends of ours had a boy a week before us and named him Grayson, so it made our decision easier. Middle name is Amesley, a combination of my mom's maiden and my middle name and DH' late grandfather's middle name.
ps, I can't update my siggy from my iPad for some annoying reason, so you'll have to wait a little longer to see a picture of Ellia Amesley
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34
I have always loved the name McKenzie but DH said it was too Irish for our very Italian last name. I had a student named Denali.. Which I loved too. But DH said no since it's a car. He wanted Giada.. since he likes the chef on Food Network. So I came up with Gianna which is close to that. We both loved it and named her Gianna Marie.
When it came down to induction, after a long talk with my OB, we went with Nov 17th
Induced on Nov 23rd, failed, had emergency csection on Nov 24th
We were told girl, and she's a girl.
When DH and I first started dating, we knew if were to have kids, and have a girl, we would name her Arianna, and we did.
Arianna Lynn
Sorry, this ended up being a very wordy answer
Due 11/28, born on 11/24

Named Hugin Henning "Hugh"; I let his dad pick whatever middle name he wanted. We had a huge list, but settled on Hugin once I discovered it.
