What's in a name?

So we have found out that this little bubba inside me is a girl - well, the sonographer was pretty sure, bubs was crossing her legs and being very uncooperative! It's so exciting to know that I have a little girl, another beautiful daughter in my tummy.

Dave and I had decided not to find out the sex of this baby, but when the complications happened, we both wanted to know. It's a comfort to feel like I know a bit about who this baby is.

The problem with this baby being a girl is - the name! We had a boys name picked out, we both loved it and agreed on it. Girls names are a different matter. We simply can't agree on one we both really like. So because I can, I keep trauling baby name websites in the hope that a name will stand out to me that I'd never thought of before and that we both love. But it hasn't happened yet! So bubby just has to stay put for longer -  not just because we have no name of course!

I'm 27 weeks now, which gives me comfort. Thank you God for keeping this baby inside me for this long! At least babies born from now on have a good chance of survival, statistically speaking. But I'm praying that although I can't wait to meet her, that I won't for at least another 10 weeks!

So hopefully another 10 weeks to discuss names and get Dave to agree to the ones I like! ;)

  1. ha that's funny, the name thing that is. mike and i really struggled to find another girls name this time and had a boys name already to go. Eventually we came up with a great girls name i was really pleased to use and then we had a boy!!. So the name was eloise odette. We had ethan's name picked since amelie. Good luck the whole naming thing isn't as easy as i thought it would be.
