October 2013 babies!

[motherofboys]

We are desperate for boy names. We like Madden and Cooper but aren't sold 100% on either. Any unique suggestions?

Because I like Seth and the most familiar Seth to DH is Seth Rogan he keeps calling the baby Rogan. I actually really like it! I know Logan is becoming quite popular but I've never heard Rogan as a first name.

Congrats, Nachelle! Yes we are super jealous, lol, but very happy for you & want you to enjoy the feeling of getting your girl!!!

My ultrasound is June 10th. My mom incoming into town to go with me and DH for "extra support." I'm excited she will get to see an ultrasound "live" for the very first time...so fun for her! I also feel she will be the support and voice of reason I will need when I very likely hear its about. To remind u all, I had that very obvious penis potty shot at 12+4. The tech wouldn't say boy or girl it I'd be shocked if it isn't a boy. I try hard to avoid google on other people's pics of early potty shots, but I still do it from time to time and it isn't looking good! I get depressed when I look online so I know it's best not to. I'm feeling so much better lately that I almost feel like hearing those words will put me back into depression again.

Our oldest is named Cooper so of course I am partial to it.

I too, feel like I am not really showing. I feel like my love handles are growing with my belly just making me look just chunky. I was looking at old pregnancy pictures today and I am starting to think I am carrying this baby as I did the boys. Which is starting to make me think probably another boy in there.

Thanks ladies! ANd no i didnt sway, it was a total surprise BFP. I was trying but then when I decided to take a break I got pregnant!

Congrats, Nachelle! So happy for you!

Oh my gosh, I am way showing. I felt like I was at 8-9 weeks, but I remember showing earlier with #2 also. I am already rolling around in the bed like a whale.

Not that my scan will be a big surprise, but it's June 5 also. Will be fun to see the baby again, and ya know, still hoping there's a wiener there.

ELP, when is yours? Are you finding out with this one?

So, I have a question for you all: I had a c-section with my first baby because she was sunny side up, and then a vbac with my second. I hired a doula and intended to try to go natural, but my labor was 14 intense hours and I was just beat tired and couldn't take the pain anymore so I begged for and got an epidural at 9cm. I just didn't think I could do it because I was so tired and I was also, quite frankly, getting terrified of the "ring of fire" etc because I was getting into the grunty squatting phase. I think I was just tired, and my contractions were nonstop, and there was nothing the doula could do to help me. Now, my old doula has her own birth center and I recently met a midwife there who is awesome and said that even though I had a c-section and there are "regulations" against someone having a vbac outside of a hospital, that she or another midwife could come over an OOPS, I could "accidentally" have a home birth. What do you all think? Those of you that have had natural births, do you think I could handle another try, or a homebirth given my long labor? Have you all felt that #3, 4 etc were easier labors?

Congratulations Nachelle! Im really happy for you. Haha, it was the same for me. I was swaying but then I decided to take a little break (I felt like I never got pregnant and that I didnt want to put on more weight) and then I got pregnant. I was still taking some of the vitamins but not swaying as hard as before. But around the date we concieved we were on an all inclusive vaccation and eating a a lot so I guess that helped too

lolainlove- Im thinking your 2nd was hard because since you had a c-section first, your 2nd was kind of like your first. SO I believe it woulld be easier. It would be your 2nd vaginal birth. My first labor was loooonnnngggg and very painful and I got an epidural, And my 2nd was way easier. I only had to push 2x and he was out. With my first I pushed for 2 Hours!!! My 2nd was 9lbs 10 oz too! So in my experience my 2nd vaginal birth was alot easier and less painful then my 1st! HTH!

Congratulations, Nachelle! I had a feeling you would be having a girl... maybe just because there have been so many baby boys due in October from this group. I am so happy for you!!! I recall you saying that your husband wanted to wait until the birth to find out the sex. Will it be hard to keep your great news from your husband? Will he see your face or read your demeanor and just know it's a girl?
