Baby #2

Any moms out there expecting Baby #2 this upcoming January? :)

Any name ideas? I know we won't know the gender for a few more weeks but I love picking out names!! 

And any suggestions on handling 2 under 2?

Re: Baby #2

  • this is my 3rd, but my first two are 13months apart, so i deff know what its like to have 2 under 2!!! The best advice i can give, is have #1 on a really consistant schedule so when #2 comes along she will feel secure knowing that her routine will still be the same (plus when #1 goes to bed and sleeps all nite, its not too bad to only be up with#2)

  • We have not even began to think about names! :/ we don't like that process because DH & I don't agree very easily on names.

    You should check out the Baby Names board & the 2u2 board. :)

  • We are due with #2 on January 24.  DD will turn 2 on January 12, so no advice for 2 under two... yet. :)

    If it's a boy, his name will be Matthew John.  We both love the name Matthew and John is both my father's and grandfather's name, as well as DH's and his dad's middle name.  This name has been chosen since we got pregnant with DD.  As for a girl, we have no clue and aren't even talking about it until we find out the sex. 

     

    Congrats to you!  When are you due?

  • This is baby #3 for us, but I didnt have 2 under 2. I love the 3 1/2 years that are in between my DS and DD and DD will be almost 3 when this one is born (she is 4/11/10)

  • There's quite a few of us with 2u2, due in January. I've got my boy named picked already since we saved it from the first time, but i keep my  names secret until after birth. Thinking of another girl name is hard - I can think of a reason to veto every single name suggested - either I know someone already with that name and don't love them, it's too popular, it has too many of  the same letters as our last name, it sounds too young, it sounds too old, it has a bad nickname, it doesn't go well with our DD's name, etc. etc.

    Please let me have a boy!

  • Same here!  DD will be 17 months when LO is born.  I have names that I am in love with that DH hates.  There is going to be some bumps in the road ahead.  I'm hoping for a girl!

  • Yes we are expecting baby #2 and very excited---but ours will be over 3 years apart so no 2U2 for us.  Good luck to you though!!  It will be neat to have them be so close!

    Names---we aren't sure about anything but our favorite boy name was Cade last time and we still like that but I'm a little concerned because there are so many Caden's and Jaden's running around!  For girls we like Britton and Ellison.  Not sure on the middle names yet for any.  For my daughter we used a family name for the middle name and plan to do the same with this LO. 

  • Thanks for all the tips and helpful hints everybody! To answer a few of your questions, I am hoping for another boy (simply because they'll be so close in age-14 months almost to the day!)

    If it's a boy we're thinking Logan...not sure about MN yet...we like biblical names for the MN...Baby #1's name is Jack Gabriel :) Suggestions that sound good with Logan?

    If it's a girl we like Chloe...although I secretly like the name Holly...hubby is not a fan lol

    The due date is January 6th-which is my hubby's sister's birthday...so if this LO is a girl we're considering Nicole (hubby's sis) as her middle name..if baby is early or late I think we're going with Grace for MN :)

    Love love the name Chloe!  DH wont totally agree 100% on that one.. still debating the whole naming kids w/ the same letter theme sorta thing..  

    Logan is adorable too.  We like middle names that have a special meaning our DD is Lillianna Faith but we were thinking with sons we might do something like Justice, Valor things that have meaning.. Its harder to find boys middle names that are like good adjectives but those are some ideas we've tossed around..Not even sure we'll go in that direction for sure but it would be unique and no one really uses middle names often so it can be a little more off the beaten path.  

    We wont have 2u2 bc DD will be 2 yrs 5 mos. but we havent even broached names yet bc we know its going to be a long haul and we'll change our minds if we start too early!

  • We're expecting #2. Ben will be three when this one gets here, though, so not quite two under two for us! Whew! We haven't decided on any names, or even really talked about it much - we had a TERRIBLE time coming up with names the first time around - Ben was truly the ONLY name we both loved.

  • Our first 2 are 26mos apart...just missed the 2 under 2.  But I have to agree with a schedule!  I am a very scheduled person and everyone picked on me about how scheduled my son was, but let me tell you, it sure helped when DD came along!  We also don't talk names to anyone before hand....we don't like to hear...."oh what about this name or that name"....or the looks like "are you serious"....and I don't like when we talk about a name and then someone else has their baby right before you and you are super let down cuz "that was your name".
