New here and newly pregnant

[xxladyjxx.livejournal.com]

Hi all,
I am 10 weeks pregnant and even though it is incredibly premature we are starting to think about names.
Here are what we have so far. Thoughts and suggestions welcome. :)
Boys:
Gabriel William
Joshua William
Isiah James
Alexander James
Julian _______
Elijah James
Elliot _______

(William is for my late father, James is my brother)

Girls:
Isabella Rose
Maddelena Rose
Aveanna Rose (ah-vay-ah-na)
Sophie Rose

(Rose is my Mom's middle name and we'd like to use it)

At first we were having a harder time with boys names but those seem to be coming more quickly to us now. It is way, way too early but I just have a feeling we will have a boy. :) Help us out!

Hey, thanks so much, fellow prego! I had a m/c in July and we lost a twin to this pregnancy so I feel worried even thinking about these sort of things, but I am getting excited. When will you register and things like that? Also, if you don't mind my asking...what middle name would you use for Julian?

I already started my registry! But it's just for us right now, to keep track of things I'm interested in researching. The second we find out the sex, I'm going ALL OUT though :D I'm sorry to hear about your MC, we tried for a year to get pregnant before this baby 'took'. I am JUST NOW starting to come off the constant panic that something is going to go wrong. I still freak over every twinge :) You'll be fine though, it gets better.

I have a strong feeling this is a girl, but for a boy we'll use Julian, and call him Jude mostly. My husband is dead set on Calvin for a middle name, after his late grandfather (and only father figure growing up). I personally hate the name, but love the reference and I don't mind since it's so special to him.

I'm not sure if I replied to this yet, but if I did, forgive me! Good to know about the registry, I feel kind silly for wanting to make one already, but it will help organize us...I am getting the itch to do so, too. We walked through Babies R Us and it was enough to satisfy me for a bit. It is so true about freaking out over every little twinge, I agree. In fact I left school early today (I'm a teacher) b/c when I went to the BR I was bleeding. The bleeding has stopped now but I was so scared. Had a sono and it revealed perfect growth and a strong HB in the 180's. OY. I don't know how many more scares I can take...ugh.

I love the name Julian. It is hard for me not to associate a name with a student that I have or have had, and this semester I have a kid named Julian who I love, so it is a positive association! I like that your husband wants to use a family name, very cool. :) So, since you think it is a girl, what name(s) are you considering?

Thanks for your comment and good luck!

Oh wow, I'm sorry to hear about the bleeding and extra stress. I'm glad the bebee is doing ok though. I'd be scared to death as well! I totally understand babies r us, we drive 45 minutes every few weeks just to drool over stuff :) If it's a girl, we'll probably go with Charis Rebecca, though Kaida is a backup. I'm also trying to get him to like Norah, but he won't go for it.

Do you mind if I add you?

OMG, I LOVE NORAH! That is soooo pretty! You can most definitely add me, though I don't post much, I read all the time! I am a teacher and I teach voice lessons at home too and for some ridiculous reason I thought it would be a good idea to take three graduate classes and finish my Master's this semester, so this is why I don't post as much. Feel free to add me and you can read a bit of the lovely IVF crap I went through, there is a really long entry that chronicles all the aches and pains I went through to get here. I'd def. do it again, though, if I had to. ;) Thanks for the good wishes and I will add you right back!
