I am so, so sorry. I never realized how utterly devastating a 2nd trimester loss could be until I had one almost 2 years ago on Oct. 28th. It's something I don't think I will ever really "get over." I have learned to move on though. The first year was horrible, just absolutely horrible. I still miss him every day and think about how old he would be or what he would be...

I think you should name her whatever you're in love with and not worry too much about how common it is. I tried to name all my boys names I hadn't heard a lot of, but in the end most of them became popular anyway. I have a Caiden. We had never seen the name before at all. After he was born there were massive amounts of Caidens everywhere we looked. I still love his na...

My DH and I both have gender neutral names. I have hated it my whole life. I always told my family if I had a girl she would have a girl name because I was so tired of everyone calling me a boy or getting me confused with the boys who had similar names. Three of my sons have names that I have seen used by girls, but one of them has a very traditional boy name.... Colton. Th...

I agree. That doesn't look very boyish to me.

I think that is really common with your 2nd. I spent the first few weeks crying after I brought home DS2 because I felt like I was robbing time away from DS1. The 2nd baby was the hardest for me, but after that it's been nice, smooth baby adding.

I am so, so sorry. I lost my son 10-28-10 and then an early miscarriage almost exactly a year later. He was waving away at a u/s one day and dead at my next appointment. The first year was horrible. I did not cope well. I went to grief counseling, but really the only thing that has helped has been time. I am now 30 weeks pregnant and it's been the hardest thing ...

Awww, my DS4 is my little cuddler now that DS3 is in school and doesn't want as much "mommy" time. DS3 was a little jealous when we first brought home DS4, but we worked out a system for both of them to get adequate mommy time. My older two never had any adjustment issues. They both LOVE babies, so each new brother was eagerly wanted....well, right up until he starts stealing the...

I have found out with all of them. I thought about not finding out the last few times, but DH always wanted to know so I could get over it faster if it wasn't a girl. He was right. After a couple of weeks I was usually ok and out shopping for blue.

All 4 of my boys start with C. When we were thinking about girl names with C our list had Corinna, Carissa, Ceridwyn, Caitlyn, and Calleigh. I already have boys Caiden and Caelen, so both of those names were out for a girl. Good luck! C names were hard for me for girls, so we just changed letters for this girl.

I have a friend who named her daughter Alianna. It's a lot like Alannah, but something else to think about.

I have told my OB about it. My OB has 3 sons, so she would always be sympathetic with a gentle reminder that a healthy baby is the most important thing. After I lost my 5th son though I didn't care about gender anymore, so we didn't even discuss gender much with this one.

I did not sway. After I lost my son I didn't care about gender. All I wanted was a healthy baby. Turns out we're having a girl. It was a huge shock, but there were some differences in the conception, so that probably had a lot to do with it. My diet didn't change, our way of dtd didn't change, but I was on glucophage for my PCOS and had just had a very early miscarria...

I was sure DS1 was a girl. I was shocked he turned out boy. With this baby, and my history of boys, I was convinced it was a boy....even told the tech to keep looking a penis had to be there.....she insisted it was a girl and the next tech backed her up.

That's my #4's name, but we used a C. Congrats on your baby boy!

I would ask for clearer images. I could see that going either way. It doesn't look like my boy or my girl ultrasounds.

Nah, you won't die, but you will be in disbelief for a loooonnnnggg time. I've known for 2 months and have had it confirmed twice and still can't believe our baby is a girl. I never in a million years thought it would be a girl. I told everyone it was a boy from the day I found out.
