Members Juliajms Posted October 30, 2014 Author Members Share Posted October 30, 2014 You guys crack me up. He might not be named Soap Boy, but he'll definitely be watching some in his formative years. Thanks for the well wishes everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted November 18, 2014 Author Members Share Posted November 18, 2014 Just a quick update to say that I can definitely feel the baby moving around now. It's just flutters, but unmistakable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted November 18, 2014 Members Share Posted November 18, 2014 How exciting! I hope one day you will post pictures but I could see why you may not want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted November 18, 2014 Author Members Share Posted November 18, 2014 I will Q. I probably wouldn't once he's past babyhood, but I'll definitely post one when he's born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Juliajms Posted November 18, 2014 Author Members Share Posted November 18, 2014 It must be very rewarding to have a grown child. Most of my maternal family had many children and had them much younger than myself (Irish Catholics), so to some degree I miss the fact that I don't have any significantly older children. My mother had her first when she was 19, but that was 60 years ago. I just wasn't cut out for that life. I'm not religious, so I'm the black sheep in more ways than one. I'll admit that I don't love being pregnant the way some women do. I'm very grateful, don't get me wrong, but feeling tired all the time is really draining. I don't know how the Michelle Duggars of the world do it. Luckily, I'll never find out. The naming situation is back in flux, since my husband vetoed Jack as a middle name and became unsure of Elijah. I think the pregnancy is more real to him now, so he's getting more invested. The names in contention now are Benjamin, Samuel, and Elijah. The middle name will be Emmanuel, after the paternal grandfather. So we'll see what feels right once we are closer. My 20 week anatomy scan is tomorrow, so fingers crossed there. If there are any major problems that the genetic testing didn't pick up, they might come to light tomorrow. If all is well, I'll be able to breath a little easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted November 18, 2014 Members Share Posted November 18, 2014 Benny, Sammy or Eli....you should start a poll! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted November 18, 2014 Members Share Posted November 18, 2014 Looking at those names my first question is - since I don't know you last name - are there any initial issues that need to be taken into consideration? For example my initials spell MLB so I've gotten some Major League Baseball jokes every now and then. (And remember Marcel is always there for the taking!)

Members Juliajms Posted November 19, 2014 Author Members Share Posted November 19, 2014 Last name is Winograd. I initially wanted to name the baby Jacob Elijah Winograd (JEW). My husband thought about that for two seconds before going "NO!!". He is Jewish, but I'm not, so that didn't even occur to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Juliajms Posted November 19, 2014 Author Members Share Posted November 19, 2014 Thank you! I mixed up the days. The test is Thursday afternoon, but I'll post once I'm back. I'd say this is the favorite. Me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
