principessa81 · September 2012

We're Team Green, but we have names picked out for both boy and girl. If we have a girl, she will be Alessandra Isabel. If we have a boy, we're debating between two names. Either Gino (for my Italian side) or Liam (for DH's Irish side). In either case, Michael will be the middle name. We decided if we have another boy we will wait until he's born to decide if he's a Gino or a Liam. When Tony was born, everyone in the family agreed he looked SO Italian! So we shall see. Smile

mrsodonnell12 · September 2012

Yeah! This is my first official check in since my name was added from the last check-in

Names: Do you have a name picked out yet for your LO? Was it easy or hard for you and your DH/SO to come to an agreement on a name? Our little girl will be Kendall Marie. It was very easy for us to agree. Before I was pregnant we had a list of boy and girl names we loved. DH wanted to find out at the a/s what we are having and I didnt- so we compomised and decided on a girl name and a boy name before the a/s. So when we found out girl, we started calling her Kendall. Love it!

sschwege · September 2012

Time is going by way too quickly, I remember when I used to be at the bottom of that list! Yikes!

Anyway, if it's a boy it will be Noah James (James is my father's name). We have about four first names for girls right now, but we know the middle name will be Annilyn (Ann is my MIL's middle name and my mother's name is Marilyn, so kind of a combination of the two Grandmothers' names). The boy's name was easy, we are really struggling more with the girl's.

3GirlsMama · September 2012

Please add me!

EDD 11/5/12, Bump Name 3GirlsMama, Team Green, Hospital with OB (but I keep having dreams of a quick homebirth...we shall see)

Names are tricky for us! We abandoned our favorite boy's name that we'd had picked out since DD #1 b/c it sounds like so many names that are so popular right now...and we seem to always need to meet the baby to really narrow it down. BUT - our favorite boy's name currently is Lane Jameson or Lane Douglas - and girl's is Adelia Blythe or Adriana Blythe...

NoeliaV · September 2012

Congrats to all the new mamas!

QOTW:
Erm. We may have The Name. Maybe. DH chose her middle name, and that was easy. He left the final say on her first name up to me. It's been challenging for me because I want to make certain that it's "her" name, ykwim?

I finally feel like I have "it" but we haven't announced it at all. I do love hearing DH say her name aloud, though. :: warm fuzzies ::

wildflower75 · September 2012

Great! Please add me!

3/20 Wildflower75, Team Green, Hospital w/ OB

We have picked out a boy name and a girl name! But keeping them a secret!

LaurelBee · September 2012

Found out we're team pink! (After being told team blue at 17w)

With Ds, we had his name decided on soon after we found out he was a boy. With this one, I'm so lost! Girl's names are so much harder for some reason...

KrisM86 · September 2012

We will remain team green but don't have a boy or girl name chosen yet. We have a few of each that we like, but haven't narrowed it down. We so still have quite a bit of time though.

MalRiggs · September 2012

Were Team Pink now

We have a name Lauren Elizabeth. It was easy to decide my son actually picked it out and we liked it

cbj09 · September 2012

Baby is had! My link is wrong up top, but no worries! The right link is here. Loving our time together - just now starting to get in the groove of things! Already thinking about how to make things different for the next labor... which considering at first I was thinking I never wanted to try natural every again, that's pretty good progress.

LollyBug18 · September 2012

We're team green and have hardly discussed names. DH thinks we've got boy names down to three though and I only like one - Aaron. So I guess that may be our boy name. No idea of a mn or a girl's name though. We went to the hospital with 15 names for DD so I expect nothing better this time Smile

AmyRI · September 2012

I also can't believe how time is flying! I'm used to being at the bottom of the list, not in the middle!

We are team green. We had been mulling over 2 names for a boy, but finally decided on Kieran John. We had picked out a girl's name before we were even TTC#1, Clare Quinn. DH just admitted that he no longer likes Quinn, so we're on the hunt for a new girls' middle name - but Clare seems to be sticking.

We have always had an easy time agreeing on boys' names. However, our taste for girls is completely different. It's like pulling teeth to find one we both like.

So how far along where you when you found out LO is a girl?!

Sorry about that! It has been fixed.

robyn2201 · September 2012

DD2 is going to be Stella Gwedoline. It was so hard picking names this time around. Dh and I just could not agree! I didn't love Stella at first but it has completely grown on me and I can't imagine her having a different name now.

BLPL101 · September 2012

My due date needs to be updated. It's 1/12, not 1/18.

We are naming our DD Caroline Ruth. It was fairly easy to decide. We both love Caroline and Ruth is my DH's grandma's name. We are really close to her and wanted to honor her.

Y I Oughta · September 2012

Add me please. EDD is 1/15/13 and team blue. We are hoping to deliver at the midwife center birth but we are still waiting for them to review my records before I can switch. We like Elliot and Milo right now.

Bambina54 · September 2012

We decided on a name fairly easily. The only problem now is solidifying the spelling

Either - Eliot or Elliot (middle name Andrew)

11/1: Bambina54,Team Blue, Hospital with OB

SidraJedi · September 2012

For our girl name we had it figured out from the day of our positive hpt. Our boy name has been back and forth but I think we are 100% now. The whole name discussion thing has been pretty painless.

shanaynerz · September 2012

We picked our name the day we found out it was a girl at 21 weeks. We had a girl name picked out while we were dating, but used it for our twin girl that passed, Kira Rose. We had looked briefly at names when I was pregnant before, just for fun, and he kinda liked Chloe, so I threw that name out again this time, after briefly going through the A's and B's, and he liked it! He's so freaking picky. Once we found a name we both liked he was like "stop looking!" We didn't wanna get overwhelmed. So yes, we have a name, Chloe Anne and Anne is after his grandma.

jennakg · September 2012

We are still working on the name (regardless of what my banner says). We're between Matthew and Logan. I'm leaning towards Matthew, DH is leaning towards Logan. We'll decide when we see him. The middle name was really easy -- we're using my brother's name who died last September.

Hopefully when we see him, we'll know which one fits him best. And hopefully we'll both agree.

ReichleyMama · September 2012

We remain team green, but I feel it's a girl. (I've had one of both... and the symptoms this time match up with those given to me by my daughter, so we'll see if this theory holds).

Our girl name (right now) is Lucille Mary. We would call her Lucy or Lu.

Our boy name is Ezekiel Oswin (both family names). NN=Zeke.

rachael_c26 · September 2012

QOTW: We do have a name picked out for our LO! Yay! We have had our boy name picked out for a while... All three names (first, middle, and last) combine into one big homage to DH's father, who passed away suddenly two years ago. The name came pretty easy to us, however we did have some reservations since his first name will be very uncommon.

tasiaceleste · September 2012

We picked out a name the first week we were together, way before we were TTC. She'll be Evangeline Aoifia.

LivingItUpInUP · September 2012

Can you add me to the list? I'm due 11/17 with a girl. I'll be delivering at a hospital with a MW and doula.

It wasn't hard for me and DH to decide on a name. I read a baby name book and made a list. We both liked Rebecca and decided on Florene as a middle name after my grandma.

hamiltks10 · September 2012

We came up with our name pretty easy...Lucas Henrik. We aren't telling family and friends until he is born though.

Doesnt really matter.....but if you want to update my name, we are having our baby at the hospital but with a MW and doula (it just says hospital). : )

jlh2716 · September 2012

I had my little girl on 8/30, a week + a day early Smile

botanicalbliss · September 2012

May I join you?

*~!~!~* Question of the week *~!~!~*

Names: Do you have a name picked out yet for your LO? Was it easy or hard for you and your DH/SO to come to an agreement on a name? We're keeping them secret. Girls names were easy, but boy names are proving difficult.

Official Due Date List:

If you would like to be added leave the following information below: EDD, Bump Name, Team, and where are you having your baby.

EDD is May 30, Bump name is Botanicalbliss, Team Green, we're hoping for a home birth, but we haven't made the decision yet. We may end up at the hospital with a MW. I'll update you when we know.

How you are doing? Have you had your baby? I'm good! Exhausted, hungry, and thirsty, but happy

mom2be0912 · September 2012

Our LO's name will be Bodhi William. DH and I struggled for a long time and were convinced for quite a while that this child would be nameless, however once we saw the name Bodhi, what it meant and how it felt while just calling my bump by this name, it just felt right

William is a family name.

Moosemonkey · September 2012

Oh! Please add me! I'm due 5/5/13, and we're planning a hospital birth with an OB. We're team green!

As far as names, we think we've settled on Alton Merrill (DH's cousin who isn't with us anymore and his grandmother's maiden name, which is also his and FIL's middle name) if we have a boy, and Vivianne Alice if we have a girl.

Dman85 · September 2012

EDD 4/08/2013

Team Green

Waterbirth at a hospital

Blackrose1918 · September 2012

HI ladies! I'm also one of the new mommas. Welcome Christian Robert, born Sept. 13 (Daddy's b-day!).

*~!~!~* Question of the week *~!~!~*

Names: Do you have a name picked out yet for your LO? Was it easy or hard for you and your DH/SO to come to an agreement on a name?

We had names picked out for a girl, but had always had trouble coming up with a name for a bot, and then found out we were having a boy lol. He had to make it difficult. We named him when he was born, and didn't even have an idea for hi middle name until we were filling out his birth certificate form.

LittleNugget2013 · September 2012

Hi! We are team blue and his name is Liam Samuel! I am due on January 4, 2013. We had a really easy time deciding on his name because it was the only name we could agree on for a boy. This is our first pregnancy and we are very excited!! We plan on delivering at a hospital with a Midwife.

jteneback · September 2012

Please add me - 5/21, jteneback, team green, home birth

We are really stuck on boy names. We have a few options if it's another girl but if we have a boy I don't know what we will do.

Necack · September 2012

Please add me...

1/12, necack, team blue, hospital with OB or MW

no name yet. DH just admitted this evening that we need to get serious about picking a name. I've been ready and waiting on him.

Jenilyn and Matthew · September 2012

Please add me!

2-12-13 JenilynandMatthew, Team BLUE, Hospital with OB

tinabean00 · September 2012

My sweet boy is finally on the outside! I was induced on 9/21 and he finally made his appearance on 9/22 at 3:37am. I did not get the medfree birth I wanted, 13 hours of pitocin was more Than could handle and I got an epi 7 hour in. But we're both healthy and happy and that's all I could ask for!

deilindra · September 2012

Please add me! EDD 5/19, team green, hospital w/ OB. 2 natural births so far and looking forward to number 3. We haven't decided on any names yet.

Mary&Nick716 · September 2012

Officially one day past my due date and we are 99% set on a name. Our little lady will be Sydney Reese! We chose this as soon as we found out the sex, waivered some around 30 weeks, but kept coming back to it. Can't wait to meet her!

blueeyedgirl27 · September 2012

I'd like to be added please! EDD Jan 2, blueeyedgirl27, Team Blue, and I plan on delivering at a freestanding BC that has a wonderful group of MWs. We decided on Carter Noah for our LO's name. It wasn't hard choosing a name because we were team green with my last pregnancy so Carter was already chosen (we ended up with a beautiful little girl).
