Re: *~* April Due Drops Check In *~* Friday
Question: Have you decided on a name yet? If you want share the name you have picked or the "top contenders" if you haven't decided yet. For Team Pink & Blue was it easy to come up with a name? Team Green has it been harder coming up with one of each? Team Twins how has it been picking out too names? do we have any team green twins? I can't imagine having to pick 4 names! lol
Answer: We are team Blue!! And after much debate, we decided on the name Elijah. DH wanted to name him Carl, III. But I am one of those mothers who thinks that you shouldn't just stamp a child with a name just because they are your "first born male child". I think every child should have a name that means something, and is suited for him/her. Not trying to start a big debate. Just stating my reasons for choosing my baby's name.
QOTD: We decided on Andrew James a couple of weeks before the big u/s. We had already chosen a girl's name before our BFP, so we were set either way. For us, it was a pretty easy decision - we only changed our minds once about the boy's name, very early on in the pregnancy.
I love your response! Lol.
Good Morning Ladies,
we are naming our little girl: Reilly Sophia
named for my husbands paternal grandmothers maiden name and Sophia- the S is for Shirley- my dear Grandmother who when i was a just a little girl promised to watch over my babies from heaven- and i truly believe she has thus far!
Happy weekend to all- do something nice for yourselves! you deserve it!!
We are team pink and have decided to name her Ryann Elizabeth. It will be pronounced like Ryan. I also have been getting the why are you spelling it wrong, who needs the extra n business, isn't the name Ry-ann, or why the heck would you give a girl a boys name. But hey my kids, my ways.
DH and I wanted something a little different (nothing too out there, it is hard to go crazy when your names are Chris and Ashley). I knew a little girl named Ryann and she was the most amazing little kid ever. And we decided to go with the two n's because even if some people mess up her name, I wanted the name to have a little girliness to it.

We are Team Green so we dont know the sex of the baby yet which is really challenging.. We agreed that we would determine the name when the baby comes but some several names that we have in mind are:
Brynn Stella
Ciara Marella
Amira Marella
and for boys which seem to be a challenge for us...
Oliver Ewan
Issac Oliver
Edit: you girls r the first ones to know the names as we have not shared it with anybody else
We are Team Pink and have known for about a year before we became PG that our girl name would be Sophie and boy would be Ian. DH's family is English so we wanted a very British name. Sophie Victoria is what we decided on since Victoria is my mom's first name. She couldn't be happier.
Morning all. We had a very hard time picking a boys name b/c DH wanted to name the baby after his father, and I hated that name (I'm not going to say since I don't want to offend anyone but it was an old fashion popular name)...but we're team pink!!! Name choosing was easy. There was one name that was both on our list. Bethany... Middle name is DH's grandmothers name..Rose. So our baby girl is Bethany Rose.
Oh and Soxgirlie, my brother is named Aiden with an "e" as is my father. So you're not spelling it wrong in my book:-)

TGIF Due Drops!
QOTD: We decided on a girl and boy name before finding out the sex. When we learned we were having a little girl, we'd already chosen Olivia Gabrielle. It was a pretty easy choice.
Morning everyone! My back is really starting to bother me, enough that I made an appt for Monday with the chiropractor, I hope it helps!
As for names since we're team green we need one of each. The girl first name is set it will be Aldina which is DH's grandmothers name, she is our last living grandparent between the two of us and she'll be 94 10 days after my due date, the middle name we aren't sure of I really want Ann-Marie which is two of my sister's middlenames, DH likes Maria. I am stubborn and I want what I want so I'm going to stick with my choice. For a boy name we just can't decide, our contenders are Eric Manuel, Marcus Antone-Robert, Gabriel Antone, Emmanuel Antone and Julian Emmanuel
Antone, Manuel, Eric and Robert are all family names

Ok, I'm off bedrest for my cervix, but I am facing bedrest for the rest of my pregnancy due to my blood pressure. I went to the dr and my bp was up still, but not as bad as last time. She knows I'm getting wacky numbers at home and swelling. She was going to put me on bedrest starting this week but because I can't work from home, and the fact that I am able to sit all day made her delay it. She told me straight out that I need to prepare for bedrest becuase I will be on it before the baby is due. Now, I have to do the 24 hr urine collection and have biophysical scans every week for the next 3 wks. I'm hoping I'll be able to put bedrest off at least for another couple of weeks (and to me it's scary to think that I only have about 10wks left in this pregnancy). I'm hoping everything comes back normal with my urine and blood work and that it is just PIH and not Pre-e (although I am prepared for that and calm, my mom had it with my little sister so I know what to expect).
As far as names go, we had a little problem picking out a boys name. We tossed names around for a few months but once we heard one we both loved it was decided. I tried to get DH to think of girls names but he insisted we were having a boy. That is until we found out we were having a girl! So I made him sit down the night we found out and start looking for names. He found one in less then an hour and we both liked it. Our little girl's name is Declinn Ann and we couldn't be happier.
We have decided both our names. The girl one was easy I've had that for a while. The spelling of her name has been a little difficult due to a crazy MIL demanding that I spell it a certain way (which I'm not going to) so I had to figure out a way to spell it without making it too weird. The boy name was harder, we were able to come up with a first name pretty easy but the middle name was hard.
We have told some people but not too many. I don't want any negative comments so I haven't shared that much.
QOTD: Have you decided on a name yet? If you want share the name you have picked or the "top contenders" if you haven't decided yet. For Team Pink & Blue was it easy to come up with a name? Team Green has it been harder coming up with one of each? Team Twins how has it been picking out too names? do we have any team green twins? I can't imagine having to pick 4 names! lol
We have decided on Peyton Sophia. We came up with a boys name relatively easy and fast before we knew what we were having but struggled with a girls name. When we found out it was a girl I told DH we needed to stop being so stubborn and agree on something, and we agreed on Peyton, but then it wasn't until after Xmas that we decided on a middle name. We just couldn't find one that fit! And Sophie is a big name in my family ( in the older generations, its my great grandmothers name) and I told DH I wished we had named Peyton, Sophia and he suggested we use it as a middle name, so I was thrilled to keep a family name. DD#1's middle name is Marie also a big family name, it is my sisters and my aunts middle name.
...I $hit you not this was the exact name we had picked out for a boy. William is DH's middle name hahahahah....
Girl- Isabella Bailey
Boy- Nathaniel Ivan
We've had the boy's name since I was pg with DD. So that was easy. For the girls name I gave my DH a baby name book and made him cross off the names he didn't like. He ended up with a list of 5 names and I told him he could pick the first name since I like all the names on his list. The middle name is my BFF's middle name.
A- 09/2006 I- 04/2010 N- 04/2012 M & G- 01/2014
Wow, so may of us needing T&P....hope things improve!
QOTD: We are team blue and have had a horrible time picking out names. We love the girl names, but boy names were really difficult for us. DH loved Tyler, I loved Dane, and we both sort of liked Trent, Derek, and Darren. So, we're kind of waiting to see what strikes us when he's born. Middle names? No idea!!

We actually had the names figured out before we were married (3.5 years ago!). So names weren't a problem this round. Well, my mom didn't like our girl-choice, but she approves of the nickname.
!!! TEAM PINK !!!
two names that have been thought of but not yet final
Leandra Neve
Katia Neve
Yay I'm officially in 3rd Tri today!
As for a name we have decided on one but we aren't sharing w/ anyone yet.
Our initial plan was team green twins. We had four names picked out. We changed our minds at 22 weeks. It was super easy picking out boy names and our one girl name. It took forever to pick out our other girl name.
Once we found out, we knew exactly what their first names would be and the middle names are pretty set but there is room for change.
As of now:
Lucas Matthew James
Elena Rosalie Anya

Yes, our baby girl's name is Jeanne Elise. It was easy once we learned we were team pink because I was set on this name month's before we got pregnant. Jeanne has been a family name since we moved to Nova Scotia from France. If we were team blue, we had no idea (at 20 weeks) what we would have named him.
thanks everyone for the T&P's! sending out *dust* to those who need it!
Let me say that my gift was supposed to go out yesterday (payday) but when i ended up in the hospital wed, i had to hold off. i do have it and it is sitting wrapped on dining room table so maybe i can get lucky and have DH send it! it will go out I PROMISE!
QOTD: well it was easy because we had names picked out for a b and g. we also knew we didn't want stuff like eric/erica or michael/michaela or jack/jill lol
the middle names were the hardest! But we have mackayla grace and braylon deion!
UPDATE: 2 days now, still in L&D. still dilated to 1cm which is good, no change from yesterday! OB says we have at least a couple more days hopefully 2+more weeks but we have to see what happens after i come off mag. contractions are down to 1-3 an hour. i am not in NEARLY as much pain as I was when I was admitted. i received my 2nd steroid shot at 9 pm last night and we are waiting for the official 48 hours after the 1st shot (tonite 9pm). OB says tomorrow morning at about 9:30am I will be taken off of the mag and then observed and moved from L&D to the anti-partum unit! this means catheter comes out and i get shower privliges AND get to go to pee in the toilet! oh how the little things excite me!
