Re: Kat and Jules- baby poll/questions
Will you be finding out the gender? You betcherass. I cannot WAIT to know its a girl! .... but I really think its a boy. I want a GIRRRRRRRRRL. <--- Veruca Salt-ish pout.
Will you be sharing the gender? oh yes. Immediately.
Are you going to just tell everyone the gender or are you crafting a bump-worthy reveal? its not TOO crazy. My BFF wanted the pink or blue cake so I baked it, and she and her DH cut into it to reveal. This was done at our usual Fri night dinner. No huge fanfare. I will be doing something a little simpler. WE will find out at the U/S, then I want to go to Party City, get opaque balloons and fill them with pink or blue confetti. Then pop them at dinner. Confetti is my "thing". If you ever receive snail mail from me, it WILL have confetti in it. Makes my BFF crazy because she is always remembering that AFTER she opens a card from me.
Are you going to choose a name before baby is born? Way before. I am a planner.
Will you be sharing the name? Yes, but after we are sure. OMFG, my family is INCESSANT with their opinions. "How about Michael? What about Alexander? How about....." How about you STFU and let me name my $!#$&%ing child?!? I am serious, my mother wrote FOUR PAGES of names she likes.
I have told her again and again. You got pg 2x. You picked me + sister's names. DEAL WITH IT.
Care to share any of your current fav. names? I like long and classic names (whoda thunk it?!) and if we have a girl, I am thinking of using my name as a middle name. We've agreed on Elizabeth (Izzy) but that is not set in stone. With our really inappropriate last name, there are MANY names that are lovely that we CANNOT use. Lily, Rose, any inanimate object really. DH likes to make up stripper names as an LOLriffic pasttime.
"How about Thorny?!" Ah ha haaaaaaaa.... hilarious, sir.
Any names you or DH have nixed already? Micheal, for one. I really do not like boring/common or overused names. Christopher, Jennifer, Isabelle/Jacob, Madison (anything in the top 50 of the SS list). None of the popular "ayden" names Jayden/Hayden/Braden.
Any nursery plans you care to share? I love owls and I think we may paint in Orchid colors (c'mon GIRL!) if appropriate.
Any other thoughts on pregnancy? I hate the drugs. I am willing away the next 2 weeks to get into 2nd Tri. I'm still down a couple pounds (~7 now!) and I love that. We want to move to a SFH (I'm aiming for May) closer to work. I don't think we can buy yet, but we're planning to rent a house. I'd love Buckhead or Brookhaven or ATL north of 20. I just want our kid to be able to scream her head off and not have our neighbors want to murder us.
Call me Kat =^..^=
Since we all like to live vicariously through the preggo nesties humor us with some details:
Will you be finding out the gender? Yes. I used open Christmas presents as a child and re-tape them back up. I can't stand not knowing what was in there! I don't know how people do it. But for the record, I don't open my presents any more
Will you be sharing the gender? Yes! I suck at keeping secrets. Of course, I haven't really told anyone I am pregnant yet (except all of the bump and knot worlds), but I think if I was around my families every day, there is so way I could keep it a secret! We haven't decided if we are waiting until 11 weeks or 17 weeks to tell (when I will be in FL).
Are you going to just tell everyone the gender or are you crafting a bump-worthy reveal? I suck at crafting surprises, but I am open to any ideas people have!
Are you going to choose a name before baby is born? Yes, but we won't start discussing names until we know the gender.
Will you be sharing the name?We shared it last time with family and a few friends. I think we might wait this time. I don't appreciate the responses. And I suggest others wait too! Some people have such opinions, but when the baby is here there is nothing that can be done so people shut their mouths!
Care to share any of your current fav. names? I could... but I think I am going to hold off.. sorry!
Any names you or DH have nixed already?Lots of awful family names... Ronald, Eugene, Bertha, Edna, etc... Sorry family... love you guys, but I just don't love your names!
Any nursery plans you care to share? Haven't even thought about it yet.. I am just holding on that this pregnancy continues. After past losses, I am not ready to start designing a nursery yet.
Any other thoughts on pregnancy? Can I hurl now? Just kidding! I am only a little nauseous!
i am ON IT.
