DH doesn't get why I'm annoyed that we haven't settled on a name. We went into our A/S with J knowing our names. Mine this time is two weeks away. I just want to decide!
I mean, I feel like if you guys want another kid then you should just go for it! Age is just a number

40. I'm sort of an only child (only step or half siblings) and I've always longed for a sibling. I would love for G to have that relationship, but I worry about all of the health risks that come with being older. We need to talk about it, I think, to figure out how actively we want to pursue it.
@dragonmommy - I love Harrison!
teamhayes - Love Elliot. MH and I shorten Gavin to G all the time.
Is Harrison to matchy with Jackson? Out of the list I sent DH, Harrison is his favorite but I'm not sold just yet. I also loathe the nn Harry (sorry). We've done a great job not using nn with Jackson, but I just do not want people calling him Harry.
I looooove Harrison, but it was off the table for us with another -son name already.

See that's what I told DH. I don't think it's the one. But maybe if I give it a fair consideration it'll be easier to get him to love the names I love.

40 isn't so old! you have time these days that's probably pretty normal age to still consider having another!
I am falling apart. I have a tooth that hurts, I thought it was from my sinus infection thati have been fighting but my tooth still hurts. Also I woke up this morning and my lower eye lid is all swollen. It feels like a stye or something but it hurts. Stress just reeks havoc on your body.
Maybe it's because of my religion and the fact that we don't name for a few days after the baby is born, but I don't understand the need for a name so early. What's the rush?

Also, I forgot to mention that Violet's therapy center doesn't want her coming in the rest of the week (and yesterday) because of potential risk of bacterial meningitis. I understand where they are coming from but it's still upsetting. I wanted to keep her routine.

X pointed to my boob this morning and asked me if I had a baby in there. I told him no, that it was my breast. He said "Oh, I don't have breasts, Mommy." Then he farted and said "I looooooovvvvvveeeeee to fart!"

buy monogrammed crap lol
baby books
wall art

plus I can use the name at home to get the boys used to a new name/person/idea of a new baby

Yeah I'm with you. Even though we had her named by 23 weeks I probably would have been fine if we didn't.
But I know people have said it's about bonding with the baby so I guess I understand.
My SILS baby who came 5 weeks early wasn't named until he was close to a week old. They just could not decide. It was funny taking bets to what we thought they would pick.

I also changed Jamie's name when he was born, lol. So if I had bought a bunch of stuff with a name on it, I would be shit outta luck, lol.

Ah crap. I just realized that I need to get A's birthday invites out this week. I normally get them out 4 weeks in advance since we have OOT family. I was just going to do a FB invite like I did for X's party this year, but for X's first birthday I had invites made, so now I feel guilty and that A should have the same. Also, his birthday is May 10th but it's Mother's Day that day, so I should probably do his party the day before, right? Ugh. It's sneaking up on me!! I feel so unprepared.

Yesterday was the first day ever that M didn't nurse. She is finally weaning! It has been a super slow process and I'm so happy she's just not asking for it at her regular times. I never imagined how uncomfortable I would be nursing while pregnant so I'm ready for her to wean and happy how the weaning process has been going. I definitely want to get her a special present for this milestone. artgal84 I might steal your build-a-bear idea!
Mcnugget's daycare texted that he was complaining his stomach hurt. Ugh. He better just need to poop. I can't handle a 4th stomach bug since Christmas.
Everyone just has things that are important to them. Deciding on a name and being able to call the baby by that name is just important to me, something I feel that I need to do in order to get connected to this pregnancy and baby. I'm a lot busier this time around, and haven't been able to be as "in the moment" this time around as I would like, so I feel kind of disconnected. It may not make sense, but its what's going on with me.
last night William slept 7 hour stretch again. That's two nights in a row! both nights I fed him tuna mashed up with mayo for his dinner. So maybe the key to his sleeping is mayonaise? how ironic that I hate mayo so much. lol

I saw this and thought 'eff yeah!!! ' You deserve this.

I agree with this. It took until 22 weeks to name Declan and it was driving me INSANE for about a month. Once it's done though, it's done, I've never regretted the name once we decided for good. J&A were actually named before they were even conceived. I loved how they would talk about baby D for months before he came, it was super special to me.
