September 2013 babies!!

I suffered with heartburn for the first time last night, i forgot how horrible it was. I usually suffer with leg cramps in the past 2 moths too so i've got them to look forward too yet.

Fish, glad your little one was doing ok at your scan yesterday. I would give them a call to, it doesnt hurt to try :) Hope you manage to get a scan pic.

DS1 felt baby kick for the first time this morning. She gave him a right kick up the bum when we were all having our morning cuddle, he thought it was the funiest thing ever.

Ah daltag that's so cute!

Fish, even if there's nothing from the last scan could you ask for future scans?

I have only had reflux with one of the four pregnancies (not this one) and thus far she was the only baby born with thick hair! I know the reflux = baby with hair thing is just an OWT but it amused DH that it was right for us.

I have a really gross varicose vein on my left thigh-it came up last time but thankfully went away after the pregnancy so hopefully it'll go away again.

DLTAG, I'm jealous of your kicks. This baby did not stop moving during the scan but with the anterior placenta I'm only feeling the major squirms.

Def an old wives tale! I have basically hairless blonde babies and I have severe heartburn I think I would prefer labour to the heartburn I get

Ha ha one baby no hair loads heartburn from like 8wks ridiculous one baby lots hair none at all ;-) maybe it works in opposite for me!

I don't generally get too much heartburn, and all my babies are born with a decent amount to almost full head of dark brown hair.

Here is my 21 week photo! Kind of hard to tell but can you believe my belly button has already popped out! So annoying!! Lol

Oh and just for the record I do wear a baggy shirt over my skin tight cami's! Lol..it helps to disguise my belly! :)

Hey Thorz good to hear from you how's the foot?

Cute 4 giffins you're tiny!!

My foot is ok, I just can't wear shoes, only flip flops. Hurts too much to wear a shoe on it just yet! My hips are killing me and will probably be put on bed rest in the next month or so because my left hip has already given out a few times, so I've taken a few tumbles already because of it. 2 more days until my scan yay!! Finally!

4griffins you look tiny to me bad news about belly button thou x

Oh cool I think mels scan is Thursday too fx for good news!

Ok ladies I have a name question for you! What do you do when DH doesnt agree with the name you are set on? I mean we have obviously been through this since he hated tons of names I proposed(but not loved) with our girls, but this time is different! I found the name I loved for my DS and then decided to try for him! Lol..I mean I am set on this name and will not even look at other names! He has said he isnt really a fan of it because the name is Harland and he thinks ppl will call him Harley for short and he doesnt like that. I dont even want to talk to him about it cuz I get so upset that he doesnt love it! So I guess my question is do I just hope he will come around to it over then next 4 months or just pull the "this was my idea, I swayed and Im carrying him/birthing him" card lol and be ok with the idea that he could dislike our sons name forever! What did you ladies do when you had a name you absolutely loved and DH didnt or vice versa? I just dont think I can let this one go!

My ds2 is Noah I loved this name we had others we both liked Benjamin and Daniel (but for family reasons his middle name is Samuel which for me ruled out daniel oddly not for dh!) dh wasn't convinced by Noah and I thought he'd end up as Ben which I was okay with he arrived in half an hour after I called dh to come home ten minutes after arriving at hospital so dh had parked on their red lines (nearly missed birth as stupid midwife nearly sent him to move it I may have sworn at her ;-( as he left five minutes after birth to move the car midwife said to me does he have a name and I looked at dh and he said Noah, he now loves it and couldn't imagine him as a Ben!

I'd say quietly hold your ground try and find a middle ground name you can both agree on maybe come up with another shortening or nick name to suggest to your dh if that's his only worry about the name and hold your nerve and pray for the labour room buzz to win out!

I think with most men if you push too hard they really dig heels in I'd save that for when he's born if you need it ;-)

Hey my scan is tomorrow morning 10.30, I'm really nervous! After hearing the words girl last time I'm just so scared to go tomorrow! Keep ur fingers crossed for me girls

DH Hated Ezra's name and I told him to suck it up and until he rips and orange out of his nostril he doesnt get to have much of a choice...l he doesn't like lennons name at all either and I just said well that's what it is so get used to it....I sign the birth certificate ;) I'm very hard headed tho

Omg some guy in my town put his truck for sale online and two guys went with him to test drive... Today they found his body :( what is going on with people these days? The guy that is being charged is a multi millionare and I can't understand why he would kill someone for a truck

Btw he will come around my DH now loves Ezra's name... It will grow on him :)

Thanks for the support guys! Fish you crack me up!!! That is totally my DH too, if I get too hard headed it makes him fight back even more so becuase then its about being right or wrong instead of the actual reason for the arguement! I will definitely save my big guns for the delivery room! :)

I admire you WAG! I really deep down want to be that way and tell him tough that I get the ultimate decision but Im just not that outspoken! Lol..I just have this fear that he will hang it over my head for the rest of time! I dont really think he would but I would hate to have him dislike a name for ever..but then again I love the name enough I might be willing to take that chance! Lol

Im glad to know that others have been in this situation. I guess I just hold tight for the next 4 months and see what names he has to offer on delivery day and go from there! Lol

4Giffins i would keep trying to persuade your DH and dont go with a name you dont love. DS2 is called Ashton and from day 1 DH said he wanted to call him this, i wanted Mason. I said i liked Ash and we couldnt agree on anything else so he ended up being called Ashton and still to this day i dont like his name. I said when he was born, oh it will grow on me and it didnt.

Could your DH pick the middle name maybe. This time i wanted to call this baby Oakley Luca Thomas, DH didnt like Luca or Thomas so i agreed to do a thing called "danny month" (DH's name) where he got everything he asked from off me and in return i could have the names i wanted. Anyway we did "danny month" so i could have the names and now we are having a girl so back to square 1 :hair:

I would say stick your ground too and dont give up on the name.

Omg WAG how scary, theres some crazy people out there. Makes you wonder what on earth goes through their heads when they can do such a thing.

I told him that if it was a boy his name would be Lennon at about 12 weeks and he said noooooo I said well hope it has a vagina then! And then when I found out its a boy I neve mentioned the name but I posted on Facebook baby Lennon is on his way and he obviously saw that... The other day he finally called him by his name ;)

I will never forget the look on my mothers face when I went to pic ds1 up after my gender u/s when preg with ds3 and said to ds1 well we will be having baby Ezra lol she looked appalled and said I need to choose a real name... Lmao

WAG you're ballsy - I wouldn't be that brave

4griffins i think slow and steady and i agree with daltag don't have something you're unuse about

mel omg stalking you ;-0

DLTAG I have suggested that he choose the middle name and call him that if he would like. I think that is a good compromise! Im sure we can come to some sort of agreement but Im so scared to even bring it up for the possibility of him shooting it down! I really wont let it go and dont want to have to turn it into a fight! The one night we briefly discussed it he brought up the nick name thing and kind of turned his nose up..I got mad and wouldnt talk to him the rest of the night and havent brought it up since! I need to get a backbone instead of just pouting about it!!

WAG..Im glad you dont let anyone influence your decision on names! Our names are a little different too(Fallan and Haven) but unfortunitely I always worry about what ppl think and let that influence my decision! So if I am set on a name and know I love it no matter what I dont tell anyone! I know I would get a few ppl turning their nose up at it and it would make me second guess our choice so usually we dont tell anyone before we have the baby! Of course Im always a little worried about ppl stealing it as well! Lol

I agree! You are very brave WAG!! Haha! Slow and steady for sure Fish!! Maybe if I just let him think it over without me pressuring him he will end up bringing it up again and be on board? I can always hope!! :)

BTW DLTAG I really like Oakley for a girl as well! It was on my list with DD2 but of course DH said no! Im really thinking a "danny month" might be a good idea! Lol..I alread know what he would be requesting though and Im not sure its worth it! ;)

I hear you, I like the name Tate for this little guy, but DH doesn't like it, and at this point I don't care!!!! I have let him have the final say in all the other 3 boys names and this time, I didin't get my girl, so I am naming this guy what ever I want! I know that sounds harsh but DH has had the final say in with the first 3 boys and always used the excuse that I would have the final say when we had a girl. Well it looks like that isn't gonna happen so this is my final baby and I AM PICKING THE NAME. (although with all the other boys names, they were names that I picked and DH just liked them and then wouldn't budge after settling on the one he liked from the ones I suggested).

I'm not sure about names either. We have quite conservative names for the girls (Lucy, Matilda and Violet) but they're not currently "top 10" names either. DH has a relatively common name now but 30 odd years ago it was less so and he says he hated it and wants this baby to have something solid and standard. I don't hate his suggestions, they're just a bit boring. I think we'll get it down to a short list and negotiate thereafter. I think with some men as well (my DH included) the pregnancy doesn't feel real until the baby is nearly born and they don't always understand our need to get things sorted NOW!

Thorz, I know this is the last thing you need to hear but I do think there's still a good chance you're carrying a girl.

good luck mel

Good luck mel, looking forward to your update :D

4Giffins good luck if you do a "danny month" i think it made DH feel better that he was getting something out of me picking both middle names. It wasnt much fun for me though :D

Mum23 Lucy is a great name (its mine) so you have great taste. I love violet too. Me and both DH have really common names (Lucy and Danny) and went through our school life as Lucy H and Danny G so i'm trying to stay away from popular names as but the only one me and DH both seem to like is Evie which is sooo popular at the min. So she might end up being know as Evie G for her school life. I would have loved to have a bit more of an uncommon name and tried to do the same for the boys so they wouldnt have this problem.

This naming lark is hard work!
