Thoughts?

What is your honest opinion towards giving a child 2 middle names?

I feel my child is going to be male, although I won't be certain for another month. There are no more men on my husband's side of the family to carry on his last name. I thought about naming my child, if it's indeed a boy, after my husband....however there are a few favorite names I may like to honor as well...

It's all up in the air of course, but what do you think? I don't want the name to seem over done. I plan on making sure the name FLOWS and doesn't sound like jumbled nonsense.

Thank you!

Why the hell not, lol. My birthday is 12/03/1984 and I'll be 7 weeks tomorrow (Monday.)

Ok, yours is a bit tricky because if you are exactly 7 weeks tomorrow, that would make your day of conception September 2nd, the beginning of a month. So it makes it tricky because with doctors calculations which can be off by weeks, you might have actually conceived in August, which would predict the opposite gender for you, than your Sept. conception.

Because according to your birthday, which I hope I'm reading right as Dec. 3rd? I get confused because I'm Canadian and I grew up with us writing the date day/month/year. Anyway, going by you being 23 years old, and if you indeed are 7 weeks tomorrow, and thus did indeed conceive on Sept. 2nd, you are going to have a boy! If you conceived in August, it's a girl. So looks like your 'feeling' about it being male is correct. ;) Congratulations by the way! :)

Hehe I actually remember when I conceived. It was August 30th! You're close! And sorry about the confusion, but you got it correct, I'm 23. :)

Still my last period was August 20th... The chances for getting pregnant increase 14 days afterward I believe...so even though we were together the 30th, the sperm could have waited until early September.

I got so pissed at the ob-gyn because of all off she was. On the ultrasound picture dated 10/15, it estimates I'm 6 weeks 5 days +-2 days... Ok yes that's fine, sounds about right. But the doctor guessed my date of conception to me around the 10th of September. How she was that off I have no idea.

I know for a fact the date was August 30th when we conceived. That was the last time we "tried" for a baby before deciding we wanted to wait until we had more money.

That's always when you get pregnant, when you plan to wait! LoL

So according to what you know in terms of knowing the last time you tried, and your ob's calculations, according to the gender predicting calendar, you have a 2 day window both ways LOL. August 30th/31st and September 1st/2nd. My instincts lean toward girl, but I know about feelings too. I felt I was going to have a son, and I did, and since you too have a feeling it's a boy, then I would say you're probably right!:)

I had a midwife and she was wrong too in terms of dates. Her first date she gave me was Feb 6 2007, and then she changed it to Feb 9th 2007. Well knowing my intimate personal life LOL I did my own math and I came up with the date Jan 23rd. My son was born Jan. 24th. ^_^

And you're right about getting pregnant when you're not trying, when you decide to wait. That's how I got pregnant too! Show's God is the one in control and He's got a plan and we just have to go along with it. :)

I know, that 2 day window messes things up quite a bit for me!!!

It's funny how everyone I know says babies happen when you aren't expecting them, and now I hear more and more stories like yours to confirm it. lol Ironic because we tried for 6 months and then decided to wait...But that's true... God wants this baby to be born!

And yeah I believe women are much better at calculating the dates than those darn docs. First my due date was May 27th...now it's June 5th. Funny because 5% of babies are actually born on the estimated date the docs give you.

Wow only 5%? I didn't know that, crazy! I can believe it though. I mean, it's our bodies, and our lives, we know what we do 24/7, doctors don't, they only see us for about an hour maybe, (if that) once a week, and that's just at the end of the pregnancy.

I don't usually make birth date predictions, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say I think your baby will be born between May 20th and May 22nd. ;)

I hope everything goes well and I'm anticipating hearing whether you have a boy or a girl, and what name you go with! :)
