Pregnancy Chat All Stages Welcome 2010

yes i am struggling for boys names too!!!! but we think we have one....

Elle is pretty sorry i am hopless at picking names and middle names so no help here hehe

I liked the name Brielle if we were having a girl or Kelarni

oh and as for whaTI think of Elle and Ruby going together.... Yeah I do,I mean there are names that fit better,my feeling is that with a short one sylabal name like Elle,the next name (in order to roll nicely off the toungue should be a longer name otherwise you're right it will tend to sound like 2 rolled into one unless one has some up's downs to it and breaks it up and distinguisihes it.Am I reading WAY too much into this? Sorry if I am,I get all caught up in the excitement as if I were naming MY baby LOL!

Elle Sade sounds cool to me,pronounced like the singer (Shah Day) I don't particularly love sade,but I do love the way the names compliment each other.I also was looking at an irish name site and thought Elle sounded good with Finola http://www.babynamesofireland.com/pages/girl-names-d-g.html Anyway...look forward to hearing what you pick

I don't think Elle is an easy name to marry up with a second name so you have quite a task on your hands but you will find the 'right' name and it will just fit Love the name Ruby - this was one of our 'girl' names BUT if you want me to give you a totally honest answer, I don't feel as though it fits quite as well as other names....Ruby Elle works better!!

Elle Marie
Elle Cherise
Elle Catrice
Elle Louise
Elle Blossom
Elle Amari.......just a few from the top of my head.

Thanks for all the input guys. I might have to seriously start a thread on this and have like a voting poll once I narrow it down . Angel- I agree with the that it might have to be long, especially since our last name is short too. My husband is suddenly pushing for Elle Jai(jay). He was like we can call her LL Cool J as a nickname. Insert my eyes rolling. Georgi- i agree its a hard name to match up. I'm afraid to even contemplate any other names because my husband and I have completely opposite taste in names. I would love Ruby as a first name, its my grandmas and I was super close to her. My husband is very anti it as a first name. If I pushed I could get it as a middle though. Who knows he might come around, ha.

I have to post a pic of my belly. It has gone from looking like nothing to looking like I'm 6 months. No in between stage whatsoever. I am so bad I have not taken any belly pics this time around. I'm already neglecting my poor second child.

BTW, I put all the names on a word doc and give them to DH. He sends it back deleting all the ones he doesn't like. Which is basically everything. Sometimes he puts notes. I had London as a middle name and he writes back "What are we movie stars?"

LMAO!!! that's very funny Chris Our friends have 3 boys, Bailey, Jackson and London and occasionally they get comments referring to them being 'movie' stars or it's kindly put as wanna-be's!! there's some real nice people around isn't there!!!

Rich and I could never agree on names it was a nightmare but we got there in the end (as you do!!)

LOOOL,funny!Which ones did he leave Chris?

Oh I like Elle Sienna' ok,listen,...why don't you and DH get together some of them you CAN agree on even if it's a few,then put those in a poll and allow people to add suggestions to the thread as well.

I just remembered a name I LOVED I wanted Theo Janos Cruz but Rich HATED Cruz I thought it was awesome!!!

Alright Posh! LOOOL

HA HA!!!!! Rich liked names like Ronnie and Reggie proper gangster names!!!!

Holi hehehe!!!

For girl names, we had picked out 3

Audrey (Angel Rose as middle names)
Charleigh
Tyleigh

For boy names, we had also picked 3

Jasper (Jacob Randal as middle names)
Sebastien
Thayden

I love the name Elle, Ella Rose would be really pretty

Oh I totally agree Ella Rose is VERY pretty but Ella appears to be an ever increasing popular name in the UK and especially themed with Rose....Elle is much more unusual.

I like Thayden....never heard of that before!!

I have put all the names together so DH can look at them tonight. I like Ella rose too, ella is very popular here to. I love charleigh, unfortunately my first serious bf was charlie so for me it would be a bit odd having to say the name all the time, but I love it for a girl.

Tiff your husbands boy names are freakin awesome. I especially like Danger as a middle name. hehe

We should definitely start a name thread...I need middle name help too but for our boy name. The girl name we have picked and will be our "girl name" until I get a girl.....lol. Just sitting here trying to think of middle names for Elle is hard but I think you are on the right track that it needs to be a longer name. I am almost thinking an old name to compliment it.

I really like Elle Elizabeth (Elisabeth) and Elle Grace.

Gutter - I love the name Jasper!!!!! It's cool and unique without trying too hard. Know what I mean?!!

My husband wanted to name Owen:
Linus
Darius
or Jett!!!!!!
I told him I didn't think we were cool enough to pull off a name like Jett!!!!!

Tiff, I think Danger was on my husband's list too! I had a list of over 100 names I would have been happy with and he deleted every name except Owen and Ethan and shortly before Owen was born a friend of ours had a baby and named him Ethan.

Chosing a name was the hardest thing we've ever done!!!! lol!

Lou Lou -- Hehehe!! We have told some people, still not everybody. We told my work and all my co-workers know. My students I haven't told, but I am sure they can tell by now. Our parents and siblings know (except for my Dad, I don't really talk to him). My grand-Dad doesn't know yet either. Our friends who live here near us, most know. But I haven't said anything on FB, so all my away friends (which are plenty) don't know yet.

Chris -- I love the name Elle. I hope you can decide on a fitting middle name.

We have not even started talking or thinking about names for this little guy. But, we are sure that we will decide on a name earlier this time around (last time, they took Kian to special care nursery after he was born and at this time we hadn't decided on a name, narrowed it down to 3). We are definitely not going to do this again, lol.

I have had my maternity aqua shape up class twice now (it's for an hour Tuesdays and Thursdays) and it is great. A nice workout in the water (aerobics and resistance). It was a little easy for me at first (still working out doing Tae Bo, table tennis, weights), but the teacher helped me to make it more difficult. I am having a blast.

Tiff -- How are you doing? How are you feeling and how is the bleeding? DId you have another dr's appointment?

How is everybody else feeling?

So has anyone else had an upswing in braxton hicks lately? I don't remember feeling them this much with Isaac. They seem much more intense than I ever felt with Isaac. Did anyone else notice a difference between their first and their second? Other than that I have my first internal exam on Wednesday to check my cervix etc. so I am curious to see what she says.

My family is coming down next weekend so I will finally have a real countertop and the kitchen could finally be all finished. And I heard from the outdoor shed people. After all of our snow I will finally have storage so I can clear out the nursery and get organized. I have been feeling the nesting urge and now that I know I will have room I am so excited. They should be delivering it on Tuesday so we will have help loading it up too. I think that is all that is going on here.

How is everyone else feeling?

Goodness, this forum is like waiting for a bus. There is nothing for ages then it all comes at once, I feel I have missed a lot again. I keep going through the posts and then can't rememeber who said what :s

MommaBear, I have been told they are stronger second time around and mine are really strong and set off by the slightest bit of exertion. How was the internal, did they say if you are dilated at all? I am so uncomfortable this morning, baby's bottom is stuck right out, I can almost feel his buttocks and my sides feel so stretched and tight. I feel nauseous again and just so tired. Apparently baby is 3/5 engaged (ie 2/5 engaged and 3/5 palpable) think some places they write it the other way around. I was going through my notes and I was that engaged with Molly until 39 weeks so I'm really hopefull. I originally felt slightly against early sweeps etc but I think when I go to my appointment next wednesday I'm going to ask for them from 38 weeks maybe and see what he says. I have my sights set on the 29th as a bith date for this baby so we'll see! Need to get this house cleaned properly this weekend, but I just feel bad about Molly being indoors and watching too much tv. I feel like she has watched way too much while I been getting bigger and too unconmfortable to do anything else.

hey all

I too get more intense braxton hicks and have been having shooting pains in my cervix lready i do remember getting them with Kyrah butnot sure when, i did dialate slowly with Kyrah. i too am feeling nuses and so tired and sore cause bubs is everywhere poking out lol!!
Did i tell you all that Hubby has to go to China for work three weeks before bubs is due, so im praying he doesnt come 3 weeks early i doubt it but its still scary
well sorry so short for me gotta run xo

Galaxy - You are funny. I feel like that sometimes when I cannot get on here. My BH are the same way if I lift Isaac or even a laundry basket I can almost guarantee them within seconds or at least a little tightening. My DH swears that I complained about them with Isaac the first time around but I know they weren't quite as intense and not until the very end. My internal isn't until this Wed. so I will know then if they have actually done anything. I have a feeling they haven't just because with Isaac everything happened quickly. That is exciting that baby is already engaged. Oh and I hear you on the tv thing. There are days when I am so exhausted and all I feel like I can do is get comfortable and then other days I feel great. But weather wise we really couldn't play outside for very long anyhow.

Sparkles - My liittle one likes to stretch too. I swear I can feel legs in my back sometimes. But I have noticed the really big moves slowly down in the past few weeks so I am curious to see what position baby is in. Wow I think I would be really nervous if Hubby had to go to China. Are you near family or friends who can help out if anything were to happen early?

Ok so for the past two mornings I have woken up wide awake at 5 am. Which is crazy because these are the two days I could actually be sleeping in because DH is home. And of course every day that I desperately want to sleep in Isaac is up and ready to go and I feel so exhausted. I wonder if I am in the midst of my last surge of energy.
