Baby Names

Crazy how quick you finalize a name when you are sent to L&D for emergency monitoring!

We have been pretty set on our sons first name since we found out we were having a boy.  However middle names wise we totally had no idea.  I had a few posts here asking for suggestions and opinions which were helpful for sure.

Over the weekend my little guy failed his NST.  We go 2 times a week for NST (non stress test) monitoring because of Gest. Diab.  This is the 2nd time he failed.  He had a heart rate deceleration into the 80s for over a minute.  The Maternal Fetal Med. dr called my OB who sent me right to the hospital.   While at the hospital we were supposed to be hooked up to the monitor for 2 hrs.  During that time he had another deceleration so we stayed over night and were told that if it got too much worse we were in for an emergency C Section and just over 35 weeks.

LONG story short,  we were released and bumped up to 3 times a week NSTs (they think he is stepping on or playing with his cord but want to keep an eye on him)

Because of this scare, we went into planning mode over time.  Which included getting the room finalized, washing baby clothes etc.  We also finalized his name, so when he decides to come he will be:

Cooper John  :-)

  • I had a similar experience -- DD's name was finalized due to pre-term contractions at 28wks. I had a name that I liked, and DH conceded when I started to cry b/c my baby could be born too early and we didn't even have a name for her.

    Congrats on picking a name. I hope you're able to stay pregnant for a few more weeks.

  • I love the name! How scary, I hope things calm down and he waits for a while longer.

    With my DS I went into pre-term labor at about 35 weeks, they gave me a shot of something to stop it and then I ended up having to be induced at 41 weeks.  I hope you have smooth sailing from now on.
