Re: **2nd Tri Check-in** Feb 1st
Needless to say, I'm scared and really overwhelmed and will be until DH and I meet with the MFM OB a week from today. My OB had mentioned me needing a consult with an MFM OB because I have an autoimmune disease but now I have no choice but to go there for the rest of my pregnancy. I'm of course relieved that they are taking the proper precautions right away and are sending me to the right place. And luckily I am delivering at one of the best hospitals in the country, but it's still overwhelming. Trying soooo incredibly hard to think positive and not stress and just focus on the beautiful baby we will have this July.
On a lighter note, regarding the QOTW... DH and I are waiting to find out baby's gender so we will have a few boy and girl name options ready to go on delivery day. I am so indecisive and feel like I need to get to know our baby before we name him or her, crazy I know. As of right now... I honestly have a list of over 100 names, probably 70 girls names and 40 boys names. DH and I haven't even discussed names yet, I think he's afraid of my list... rightfully so.
Hope my fellow 2nd trimester mommies are all doing well and thanks for listening/reading my very long update.
This is my last 2nd trimester checkin! Eeek! Time is flying! All is going well on my end, apart from a defective crib that got delivered on Friday...so we should be getting a new one this week. If ever that one doesn't work either..we're screwed as it can take 14 weeks to get here (hence ordering it early the 1st time around...). Here's a picture of nursery so far
QOTW: We had a short list of boy and girl names well before I got pregnant, with a favourite for each. Our little guy will be Elliott
See you very soon on 3rd tri checkin!

we we bought our crib and dresser with a hutch yesterday! I love it and can't wait for it to be delivered in 12 weeks! So it should arrive a few weeks before he does!
QOTW: we are struggling with names for him. We know his middle name will be Richard and we have a long 3 syllable last name so I like shorter first names. DH likes Bryson but out last name also starts with a B so it irks me. Names that we both had on our list are: Dylan, Grant and Chase. Although I think we are eliminating Chase. Boy names are haaaaaaaaard!!!

Hello ladies!
I am 24 weeks today. Viability! YES!
QOTW: We have a name picked out. Honestly we had a boys name and a girls name picked out before we ever got pregnant. We had a lot of time to talk about it I guess. lol We won't be announcing his name until birth.
@KidShrink I LOVE that nursey!! How cute.
@mechelita44 I am sorry you are going through something so stressful!! Hopefully it is just something they want to monitor closely and nothing super serious.
@NB817 I like the name Dylan.

@mechelita44 I'm sorry for the stress you are going through but really glad to see you are getting great care. I hope all goes well!
@kidshrink love the nursery!!
love all the names! Elliott is fantastic and I really like Grant Richard or Dylan Richard! Excited to see the finals with the birth announcements. Like @adorkablepixie we knew the name very early on but DH doesn't want to share with anyone until our LO is born.
For me: I have my second AS tomorrow and am excited to see LO. Been super emotional this week for the first time in pregnancy. So much crying! It's worse than IVF meds lol.
