Congrats! I have a 3 month old girl named Chloe. I REALLY want one more, but my husband didn’t even want one to begin with, so I tend to silently mourn in my heart, but I don’t bug him about it.

Mine are 11 months apart and other than the fighting that happens about every 6 weeks, they play well together.
Mike and I are fearing when they get interested in the boys/girls because both of them are going to be inviting the other’s friend over 😆
My daughter is just gorgeous and we imagine the trouble he’s going to have trying to keep his friends away from her!
Imagine a 6 foot blonde complete with green eyes and a brain 😯
And then there’s Patrick who has the most gorgeous eyes and smile. Already has Ashley’s friends chasing him around. He’s just like “Why are they trying to hit me?” 😆I love watching them get older! 😆 Dont worry… the brain will scare most young men away 😆
Congratulations! I’m still pregnant too, but have been having some mild contractions since yesterday, so I’m hoping that my little boy will decide to come on out soon! He’ll be my first.

When is your due date?

Yes I want to know too! 😀
It’s officially scheduled:
Baby Boy Delivery on All Hallow’s Eve. I can’t wait!!! 😀
My doc guestimates that he’s around 7.5 pounds right now (I’m 38 weeks, 3 days).
And Day 10 is done… 9 more to go!

He’s not that big yet, why the rush to get him out, gestation can be as long as 42 weeks, so what’s the hurry, is there something wrong with you or the baby?? Since they are waiting another 9 days, I am guessing that isn’t the case. I hope you go into labor naturally before the “scheduled” date.
It really isn’t good to induce, often labor doesn’t start and then you end up with a C-sec when if things had been left alone, you wouldn’t have. And trust me, natural labor is much easier to recover from than a huge slice across your abdomen. I was back to normal and not all that sore after about 3 days.
My sister in law had c-secs both times and was miserable, but for her it was the only way, they had sound medical reasons why she couldn’t risk labor due to previous damage to her uterus from an etopic pregnancy. If she’d had a choice, she would have gone natural.
Anyway, I am happy your little one will soon be here, I just wish you wouldn’t rush the little guy, he’ll come when he’s ready. I hope you’ll reconsider your inducement. After all, you’ve got 9 days for him to decide to show up, and if it takes a few days after that, what does it really matter?? Karli was 5 days past her due date, she still was only 8.8 lbs and 19 inches long. So if they are telling you he will be too big, they are full of it.

Considering you know absolutely nothing about my pregnancy and me, I’m trying very hard to not take offense at your supposedly well-meaning post.I’m actually a Women’s Health-OB-Gyn Registered Nurse, and this is my 4th child.
And? This will be my 4th c-section, and I get really pissed off at people who preach stuff like this:
Quote:It really isn’t good to induce, often labor doesn’t start and then you end up with a C-sec when if things had been left alone, you wouldn’t have.

to others without knowing a damn thing.
Congrats to you. Myself, “I was back to normal after my c-sections and not all that sore after about 3 days” as well, c-section and all, all three times. And after my son was born in 2005, I with my “huge slice across my abdomen”, was home from the hospital the second day. The “huge slice”? 10 centimeters. Good OB-surgeons aim for the smallest incision possible. Perhaps you’ve not been in the operating room to witness surgical births; you might have known this.
It’s no one’s business as to why I’m having another section, but a good part of why I have a “scheduled” delivery is because my absolutely fabulous and wonderful OB happens to be a 3-hours’ drive from where I live. Not to mention the drastically changing weather that constitutes “Fall” in Montana. I figure a person in Idaho could relate to that, at least.
Quote:So if they are telling you he will be too big, they are full of it.
“They” are doing nothing of the sort. I keep tabs on my son’s growth because of my personal history, which after reading your extremely judgmental and presumptuous post, I’m not inclined to share.
I’ve worked Labor & Delivery, I’ve worked the post-partum floor, I’ve worked with midwives and doulas and doctors, and what I’ve learned after witnessing good births and bad where I’ve had to give comfort to grieving parents and dress their stillborn for them or comfort a partner because the mother has died is that I don’t give a god damn HOW my baby arrives into this world as long as he is healthy and alive and I am too.
I’m signing off now, because the “trying not to take offense” thing I was working on didn’t work, and I would like to stay calm.

We wound up doing a couple of themes in our family: First names that begin with “M” and second names that are in alphabetical order.
The “M” thing was more-or-less planned, but the alphabetical thing started as a fluke but is now our new tradition:
We’ve been calling this little guy Mo since conception, and no doubt that will be his nickname. So… something MO____? LOL…
And middle name will have to begin with “I”.
So that narrows our field quite a bit. 😀
Congrats!!! I vote for Mograine Illidan…but that’s just me 😆 😆 /sigh I’m a hopless WoW addict….
Congrats!
Any progress on the name? My brain’s not yielding anything that starts with Mo…

Just some thoughts. They could be mixed and matched too (Montgomery Ian).
With C-sections is it still that if you have one, you have to have them for the rest, because the child coming out naturally could potentially tear the scar tissue from the last time?
Or have they gotten that much better (other then smaller scars) since I was born? My mother had an emergency C-section with her first and after that both me and my brother were C-sections, for the reason that a natural birth would risk rupturing the scar tissue…
Just curious I don’t mean anything by it…

Weeelll…
Both yes, and no.My husband and I managed to switch our favorite names that we’d come up with — Now I love the one he’d originally come up with, and dislike the one I came up with and vice versa.
The only problem (IMO ;)) with him no longer liking the name, is that I made the stupid mistake of pointing out that it was only one letter different than an ex-boyfriend’s.
The ironic thing, is that it really rings perfectly.
So we’ll see.
I think we’ve finally reached an agreement with the “I” name. 🙂
