Happy to have found out due date

So, Cason's new sibling (don't know yet if it'll be a girl or boy and hate calling him or her an "it"), should be born Oct. 9, 2014... or that is the preliminary due date anyways....this could change when I have my first ultrasound on March 31, but as for now that is the date that it is. Made me happy to find out... also can't wait to pick a name (hoping it's a girl and will either go w my late grandma's middle name, Nalda.. or I'm liking the name Annalyn. May do one as first, one as middle), go shopping for what new baby things we'll need, etc.

Anyways, finally having a due date makes things start to seem more real for me.

I have a feeling baby will be born in late Sept. though.

 

Congrats

 

Thanks, lunarverse.

 

Congratulations. Hoping all goes well. Love the names you mentioned.

 

Thank you! Yea... I'm digging those names but watch.. now it'll end up being another boy and I have absolutely NO boy names picked out yet.

 

Aww congrats

Call it Piaf

 

Congrats! I don't like knowing rather it's a boy or girl, and I only pick names after the kid is born, but that's just because I think I have a somewhat obsessive personality, it works better for me not knowing. It's exciting to have a new baby though! Enjoy your pregnancy, lady.

 

Call it Asmodean Another classic: Anaximenes

 

Thanks guys.

And haha, yea, people would look at me like I've truly lost it this time if I named it any of those names.


And to Honey.... I would go nuts not finding out boy or girl...simply because I'm obsessive for shopping for the baby-- like to get a lot of stuff way early and wouldn't know what the hell to do if I didn't know til he or she was born.

Congrats!! Oct 9 is my son's bday

 

How sweet! I love babies.

 

Thanks Aeri n Meli....

Haha, wow...that would be crazy if this new baby (not gonna say "it"! Gahhh) is born on your son's bday. But even if not that exact date it'll be very close.

 

Both of mine were September babies (17, 22) and it was great because it was still mild enough to spend time outside in the fresh air.

That is great news and it is kind of nice to not know the sex ahead. I like those names!

 

Oh huzzah! I'm excited for you! (and it makes me feel super good to know that it's okay that I'm 27 and haven't even started on baby 1 yet)

 

there's options. "they" is probably the most popular gender neutral pronoun. "he/she" also works fine (although might give the impression that your unborn baby is a tranny). and as far as i know, "he" is still accepted as gender neutral when necessary as well. or you could follow the popular trend lately and refer to all babies as "she" regardless of gender.

 

Congratulations AT!

 

Congratulations, may the unborn one be a great source of joy for you!

 

Thanks everyone.

Heat... that's pretty cool and crazy that you managed to have two kids born within a week of each other. (now that I think about it though my brother and me were born also within the same two weeks. interesting.)

oh...and as much as it WOULD be cool and a great surprise to find out at delivery the sex of the baby, I am NOT that patient at all.

KR-yea, I wouldn't stress or worry bout that at all. Plenty of time yet @ age 27. I was 30 when I had Cason and will have just turned 34 a month or so before when I have this one. My personal cut off line though is no more after age 35, so unless I convince D to turn around and have one more kid within a year of having this one... then this will be the last one. (and it's very unlikely that financially he'd be down for another one right away, lol.)- but that's fine w me. I always wanted at least one but preferred either 2 or 3, so 2 is good. After age 35 I just am not comfortable personally w how high the chances go for everything from complications for the mother, down syndrome, and all kinds of other things. (they are already higher for me now with this one than when I was 30, but I still don't consider the risk too high at any age younger than 35).

INMU-- Hmm... thanks, yea, wasn't thinking that. Don't think I'm gonna start calling him or her a "them" (tho it makes sense) because I don't want everyone and their uncle asking me if I'm having twins. I think I may just go with him, I don't know...maybe her. Maybe just him or her. Hmmm....

anyways, thanks again to everyone else who posted.




KR- yea,
