September 2013 babies!!

[4Giffins]

Love hearing everyone's names!! We havent spoke a word about names yet since its so hard for us to agree on anything we wait until we know what it is before we start debating about it! We like uncommon names and DH is so difficult when chosing..if his high school classmates, cousins, dog was named a variation of a name I like its off the list! Im getting stressed just thinking about it! Lol. Anyways, our girls are Fallan and Haven and the boy name I am set on is....Harland! I havent told a soal my boy name! Hope its not bad luck!! No idea on a girls name though!

Will have my ultrasound in the next couple weeks, havent got the appt scheduled yet..hopefully will do that today at my doc appt!

Hubby is now coming round to Evelyn Rose but I'm now getting worried that people will keep mispronouncing it; it can be pronounced;

Ev-A-Lyn
Ev-E-Lyn
Eve-Lyn
and I've even heard people pronounce it Eve-A-Lyn!

I want it pronounced Ev-A-Lyn. Do you think we could spell it Evalyn? Would that be weird?

I like your original spelling of "Evelyn". It isn't an unusual name or spelling so I don't think it will get mispronounced.

On another side note... allergies and pregnancy don't mix! I'm sneezing like crazy and keep peeing! Have to change my undies several times a day

Girls way yeahy for good news!

Daltag's scan 3 may! My birthday and someone else's was it yours longing?

Just a coincidence, but also DS1 (Noah's) birthday

Daltag, good luck to you!!! It definately is a good day for a scan

I love all the names you have already picked out!!!

I would still spell it "Evelyn". Never heard of the other pronounciations to be honest. I just know it Ev-A-Lyn. I wouldn't worry that much. Beautiful name though

Names here are different though... very different.. for a boy we would have picked Fabian or Carl I think. For a girl I have too many names I like I like Mona and this apparently is the only name DH cannot veto He keeps bringing up people or dogs with the same names all the time and it is really annoying. On the other hand, I didn't want to name the baby like his ex-girlfriend Anna either, lol.

I might need some crossed fingers as well.. I had a scan on tuesday and the tech was very quiet when he was looking at the heart of the baby. After a few minutes what felt like days, he said he is not sure, but the baby might be having problems with its heart. Now I have to get it checked again in a clinic on Monday. Weird, how gender suddenly didn't matter anymore. I just wanted him to confirm it's a girl, but he didn't even look. And I didn't care either.

Southern, I just also read about what is happening to you. I really hope you can get a lot of help to make sure your baby will still be staying inside for many more weeks..!! Great that you have such helpful neighbours!! I hope you can allow their help and get the rest you need!

Longing, I'm really sorry to hear that, and I keep you in my thoughts and keep everything crossed that it turns out ok.

Did rest of baby look okay specialist told me on Tuesday if just one area of concern chances of it fixing pre birth much better I know that's a crumb of comfort please keep us updated. Yes your righty nightmare twin boys is now a dream ;-s

Hey Hun maybe it's a north south thing I'd say it the way you don't like automatically ;-( I'd consider the alternative spelling (I prefer that pronunciation it's just not what I'd say) I don't think it's odd although she may spend her life saying that's with an a ;-)

However I am a bit dyslexic so could be that ;-)

[Northern_Shutterbug]

Hubby has said he'd give up on Lyla if we spell it Evelyn. I still prefer Evalyn, but prefer Evelyn to Lyla

[fish2012]

Northern just go register the birth on your own ;-)

Hi all

Thanks for good wishes to the calcification is no longer evident! However there are two cysts on the babies brain ;-(. If my blood comes back negative for viral infection it may be Edwards syndrome if its positive it may be brain damage due to a virus ;-(. Follow up scan in three weeks to check cysts bloods should be back next week

Thank you for good wishes

Fish have you googled cysts on the brain? In the absence of any other markers its suggested that cysts are relatively common and should disappear on their own within a few weeks. There is much debate apparently over whether cysts on the brain should be considered at all due to the large amount of unnecessary stress it causes parents. Obviously I don't know the full story but when I read your post I was sure I'd heard about something similar before so I looked it up.
I hope that they are harmless and go away!!
