AW--good news x2

[mudslide]

Let me preface this by saying we don't know 2.0's sex yet.

#1 H agreed to the boy name he shot down last time.
Iain James
It's the Scottish Gaelic version of Ian. H is Scottish.

#2 I passed my glucose test.

Sorry, had to Aw!!!

HOw many weeks are you? They already did s Glucose test?

14. Yes, because of how my tests went last time and I'm obese so I'm high risk for GD

Thanks, everyone! I love the name. I was shocked when he shot it down during the last pregnancy.

[Bonita]

Yay!!! Congrats on both

Great news!

Dumb question: do you pronounce Iain "EE-un"? I have zero experience with Gaelic pronunciation and the names always throw me for a loop until someone tells me how to say it.

Yes, it's the same pronunciation as Ian.

Congrats on the glucose test! I do mine next week (and I'm shocked they had me wait this long because of my weight).

Our baby is going to be Ian. It's a good name ;-)

Hooray for just saying no to the diabeetus!

I love that name! I grew up with an Iain.

That child is forever going to have issues with how people pronounce and try to spell his name, but congrats on the no-gd.

It's a great name!

I did carbs in moderation the week before my test and fasted for it. I read that those things can help avoid false positives.

I understand the concern. I've thought about it. He can always choose to go by his middle name if it bothers him too much. It's by no means a made up name or spelling. It's just not as common in the US.

Great name! It's H's name. I will say though that his mom grew up in Scotland and spoke fluent Gaelic and she chose to spell H''s name Ian to avoid it getting butchered since she planned on raising him in the U.S. It still is hard for some people though. LOL . It's such a simple name but people struggle with it. He always gives my names for reservations etc.

Yes, ee-un. It sounds 100% better and different though spoken with a Scottish accent IMO. It has a rolling sound to it. H's mom has passed and I miss hearing her say his name with her accent.
