Our a/s is finally TOMORROW!! It's at 9:30, with a regular check-up with the OB right after (<--I know, not relevant, whatever)

So what are we going to have?!? Get your votes in now!

Sorry, no OWT for you to really go by. No crazy cravings. Had a few super hot nights very very early in 1st tri. HB in 1st tri was around 170s-180s. Last HB 3 weeks ago was 156.

    That is a question for the ages! We haven't started seriously considering names yet; DH would prefer to know what we're having before trying to narrow things down.

    His main contribution so far has been Sebastian (after his grandfather), or possibly having a III (he's a Jr).

    I adore the names Alexander and Xavier, but DH is 100% against Alexander, and only suggested Xavier as a mn with Sebastian. I've recently been tossing around Cole, Finn, and Nathan/Nathaniel. 

    Girl names...who knows. Isabel is my top pick, I'm just hesitant with how popular it is.

    I like Sebastian with the nn Baz.

    Cole Alexander is one of my favorite names, and I love both individually. And I've really been liking the name Nathan a lot.

    I dated a "third" and almost married him. It always sounded pretentious when it was brought up. And It was annoying when calling his house bc they both had the same name and people were always like "which one?". Anywhooooo, you can ignore my little rant. I'm one of the undecideds, lol.

    Rant away! I keep saying the same stuff! I do not want a "III" (we're not some stuffy Hampton family with loads of money), and only one of each name per household! It's just too confusing otherwise.

    I say girl.

    And I absolutely adore all the names you are considering. Delilah was almost Lucas Nathaniel if she were a boy and now I'm loving Nathaniel as a FN. Alexander and Xavier were both high on our lists for Zack and we were considering Cole as a MN. I also think Sebastian is adorable. Personally I don't like the ideas of Jrs, III's but I get that a lot like the tradition of it.

    Isabel is so popular because it's a great name.

    .image

     

  • As popular as Isabel is, I don't actually know anyone with that name. I think it's beautiful and if you do have a girl and love the name so much, you should definitely use it.

  • And I dated a IV, and he said he would name his son a V. I didn't like the idea of doing that, and to top it off I hated his mn...so glad that relationship didn't work out. Lol

  • Oh and I love Isabel too. I tried to push that on my sister for their daughter because I thought Isa was a cute nn. They went with Penelope instead.

  • I'm partial to Isabel because Lexi's middle name is Isabella. Bella means beautiful in Spanish. But that's not why I chose it. I actually dreamed it! 

    I like the names you chose. They are cute. I liked Nathan and Xavier but DH vetoed it. I still say girl though!  Can't wait to find out!

You have good taste  ;). I also 100% agree on your stance with III or Jr. Can't wait for your update later!!!

    Yeah, I don't buy into the HR thing either, seeing as how Delilah's and Zack's were basically the same as each other's throughout the pregnancy.
