Ok... Is it too early to talk about baby names? We had one last name left on the list and we found out we are having twins so... I need help. We have 0 girl names.
Here are our kids so far: Griffin Dean Grant Michael Everly Pearl
The last on our list is Everett Jack... So I need a name that fits with that.
We used to like Grayson, but it has gotten really popular in our area. My husband likes Granger. Is that too “different”?
Like I said, we have 0 girl names. Everly is the only one we’ve ever been able to agree on.
Oh! And middle names are family names..Both Griffin and Dean are family names.
@EM0704 I'm 95% sure if this little one is a girl first name will be Everly. Top contender for a boy is Evan. It was Everett for a long time, but then I taught a little hellion with the same name. DH got to name DS, so I get majority say over this one DS's initials are AKA, corny I know, but we want to do something special with this one's initials as well. I'm thinking of ETA, but having a hard time finding a "t" name that goes with Everly.
My mother recently moved out of state with her new husband (in January). I offered to buy her a plane ticket so that she could be here for DS's birthday. I even offered to let her stay at our house for the weekend. Well... somehow in my mom's mind, this meant that she was invited to stay for 10 days -_- Then I get a text message from her today asking when I am going to purchase her luggage for the flight. She doesn't know about the baby yet, and I don't want to ruin the surprise announcement at DS's party, but I really want to tell her cheap butt to buy her own luggage since I already shelled out extra cash to extend her trip.
@erinmarie86 I’m not sure. Possible TW? Idk. I started spotting bright red today so I have no idea what to expect at this point. I’m hoping beyond hope that everything will be okay. I have an ultrasound tomorrow
@tinypikachu hoping and praying everything checks out okay tomorrow at your ultrasound

@lifesabeach85 Forgot all about nameberry! Thanks for the reminder. I just keep thinking Hermionie Granger the HP character... hahahahaha But I guess I will entertain it a little more.
@pink_polkadots Thanks so much! We had lots of negative comments about Pearl because it’s an old lady name.
@middleschoolmommy I typed this entire thing and it disappeared! Hopefully it doesn’t post twice!
We have mentioned Evan too. Super cute. I have a list of terrible students, as well as a list of no-no’s from my mom. And then my husband has a list of people he’s put in jail so... hahaha We are limited!!!
Everly Tate Everly Tess Everly Taylor Everly Tru
Man, that is hard!
I would definitely tell your mom that luggage is out of the budget.
@EM0704 thanks! I like Tru, it's cute. DH mentioned Taylor, but I currently am teaching a Taylor and she has a LOT of issues going on, so I'm on the fence lol.
My mother actually let me name my little sister. I'm not sure what she was thinking! Lol Except. That she wanted me involved. DS will be almost the same age I was when I named my sister and I can't imagine letting him pick! We would probably end up with a Marshall, Chase, or Rubble... (paw patrol). I chose Vanessa for my sister because in the movie the Little Mermaid, when Ursula the seawitch turns human and is marrying the prince, she used the name Vanessa. So... My sister is named after a seawitch. I think I hit the nail on the head ;p

@EM0704 we have our names picked out already! And....our boy name will be Johnathan Everett! We will call him Everett though - my husband's name is Johnathan and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the name Everett so much. Husband's name is Johnathan Wayne and he is a Jr., but I really don't like the middle name Wayne, so he agreed to compromise and switch out the middle name. For a girl, Everly made our short list last time, but I decided if we ever do get an Everett, it would be too close. This time, we have decided if it's a girl we will name her Lorelei Lillian. A LOT of L's, especially with our last name, but I kind of love it.
@tinypikachu Thinking of you today and hoping all goes well.
I’m so grateful for the good juju! We went in. Baby is a little bit behind but the NP was really excited and hopeful. She also showed us what could be a little heart beating. I’m on pelvic rest and supposed to stay off my feet as much as possible until the 8 week appointment. Cramping has continued but bleeding stopped yesterday
My weekly check in! Actually, hoping I'll be able to come more often now that it seems I've found a medicine that's helping my nausea. I'll post that on the symptoms thread though. My big news is it's been a horrible week at work due to my being constantly sick and DH and I are almost on the same page of me quitting in the next few weeks instead of the end of May. Not much of a time difference, but huge for me! I was home with DS yesterday and he just filled my heart with so much joy. I can't wait to be with him more.

@lurvleybunchococonuts get all the baby stuff you want, girl! I got tons of stuff since pretty early on last time and I didn’t regret it. After I heard the heartbeat, I went a little nuts!! But hey, baby girl wore every single outfit and diaper I got when I was pregnant so whatevs
Last night I had the 4th or 5th dream that this baby was a girl. Dreams like that make it so much harder for me to want to stay team green! Especially with my NIPT testing coming in a couple weeks.

@mockingjay1 do you have a preference? Your don’t have to answer but Fwiw I think it’s perfectly normal to have some preference even if of course you would ultimately be happy either way. I would guess finding out early might give you more time to get used to the idea if it’s not what you’re expecting.

Honestly I really don’t. I did the first time (I preferred a girl and had a boy) but now that I’m not scared of boys I don’t care. I’d love either I’m just a little bit of a planner. We’ll see how this goes.
Another random: I just found baby on the Doppler at 8w4d!!! I didn’t even have to point it down into my pelvis. I think my uterus comes out of my pelvis quickly and/or baby is toward the top. I found DS at 8w6d.

@mockingjay1 I had tons of boy dreams with DS while being team green. One of the biggest reasons I leaned towards boy. I just had a boy dream again, using my boy name in reference to little bean, so I'm thinking we may be boy again. I put a whole lot of weight on mom dreams.

Children are like casseroles; it takes a lot to mess them up.
When my shock turned to excitement about having twins this time, the devil decided to steal my joy. I've spent the last couple of days using every spare moment to comb the internet for symptoms of miscarrying a twin... I have literally let it consume me...affect my kids and Husband... Even as I type this, the things that I've read are running through my mind... But this morning I woke up and decided that this will not consume me. God is good. My heart and home are full of his promises and these babies are part of that. There is nothing I can do to stop God's will regardless. I will enjoy my weekend. I will no longer obsess over the thought of losing a twin. I will be joyful in this journey. Y'all, please pray for me. Stupid, stupid anxiety is the absolute pits!!!!!
End TW
Im going back to the dr Tuesday to probably up my anxiety meds which makes me ANXIOUS because of its effect on the babies. Vicious cycle!!!!!! My next scheduled appt isn’t for three weeks but I’m hoping she’ll let me pay cash for an ultrasound to ease me mind.

It wouldn' let me tag you so I just quoted it. I feel so bad for your struggle with anxiety. Please tell hubby how you feel, ask him for specific help to ease your mind. Is something happening that makes you nervous in the first place? I do hope you can get to feeling better. Double check your prenantals too a weird mix of b vitamins can sometimes trigger anxiety as well as herbs. I'll pray for you too. Twins, what a blessing! Try grounding yourself when you get too worked up, name something you can see, touch, hear, smell.
@bqtmom25 Thank you. My poor husband really tries to help. TW I miscarried twice before we sought help from infertility. Since then we’ve had three beautiful children, but my anxiety is pretty terrible while I’m pregnant. It really isn’t bad any other time. I am having 0 symptoms that would point to something wrong. My brain has just decided that there is. (Insert eye roll) I haven’t even thought about the prenatals being an issue. I think I’ll take them with me to my appt on Tuesday and talk to her about this.
Re: Weekly Randoms w/o 4/2

The last on our list is Everett Jack... So I need a name that fits with that.
We used to like Grayson, but it has gotten really popular in our area. My husband likes Granger. Is that too “different”?
Like I said, we have 0 girl names. Everly is the only one we’ve ever been able to agree on.
Oh! And middle names are family names..Both Griffin and Dean are family names.
I think Granger is a great name. Knew a nice guy in college named Granger.
Have tou tried nameberry? They have a feature where you enter names you like and they give you suggestions
