When are YOU due???

I couldn't find a good place to put this, so I figured here would be the best place.

I was wondering when everyone is due, and if you know what you are having yet? If you don't know, are you going to find out, or leave it a surprise?.
And if you'd like, you could post the name (or list of names) you have picked out for your baby to be!

I am due Jan. 17 with a girl, but I'll be having the baby in the 2nd or 3rd week of December due to medical issues (that's 5-6 wks early), we'll figure out a date when it gets closer. I guess I have to wait for my doctor's schedule to come out! lol
And I have a list of about 10 names, but right now my favorite is Cadence and Seneca, with Taryn sneaking up on me!

Hi! Great post idea. I think it's always good to connect with other moms-to-be and to share experiences and hopes :)

I'm due November 11th (which is Remembrance Day here in Canada, as well as elsewhere in the Commonwealth). It's kind of symbolic for me, because my post-doctoral research is centered around memory and commemoration - although I'm aware there's very little chance of the baby arriving on the actual due date!

We're having a girl, and this is our first child, so everything seems new (which means exciting and overwhelming in equal measure). Plus, we just moved 4000km away from our families, so kind of jumping without a net!

As to names, we're committed to an Irish name for the first (the other aspect of my work is Irish history, and we have a strong connection to Belfast, where I spent 7 years). Dh and I are still "discussing" our final options on that, but will probably take our top 5 to the hospital and let her decide! For a middle name, we've chosen Verity, which has a lot of significance to my DH. Our last name is hyphenated, which is the only thing stopping me from throwing in a few more middle names to include all the ones we love!

Hope that gives you a picture of us :)

Hi there. I'm due March 17th with my first child. I hope to find out the baby's gender next week!

I could totally relate to the original poster's struggle to find the perfect, unique name that you love. I really only even like a few names, and can just tolerate a few others.

We kind of hope it's a girl, mainly because DH's family has 5 grandsons and only one granddaughter. We both LOVE Veronica, still discussing the middle name (I've posted on this, but still nothing speaks to me as "the one" yet).

For a boy, I wanted Troy, but it's my brother's name, and DH doesn't want to name our kid after family. I also like Tyson, he's not in love with it. He has liked another boy name since high school that is very uncommon, so uncommon that he thought he made it up. The problem is, now I have a co-worker with THAT name, who is a actually a good friend, but DH doesn't want everyone to think we named our boy after him...

Good luck to you new mommies!

Congrats to you two new mommies! It is such a wonderful experience! I absolutely love children. In my original post, I forgot to add that this child is mine and my husband's 4th! We have Justin (who passed away when he was 2mo,but he would be 10 now), Jacob, 6, and Alanna, 2. If it weren't for medical complications, I would probably be ok with having many more, but this is going to be our last child.
I didn't really have a hard time naming the boys, but the girl's are really complicated. I think it's because I wanted the most beautiful name there is. Alanna was 3 days old when we finally named her! My husband wanted Layla and I wanted Alanna... I won. So I believe that Alanna is the most beautiful name, and now that we have one more girl on the way, I am have a heck of a time getting a name that is so beautiful, and still not too common!
I wish all you mommies the best of luck with your future child, and in finding the "perfect" name!!!

Veronica is one of my very favorite names! I love it with Ruby, but I probably already told you that! Also love Veronica Lucy.

Hi!

I am due April 6th and this is our first child.

We will find out what we are having sometime in November.

Our favorite names are Elyssa or Juliette for a girl and Everett for a boy.

I'm having my third c-section Nov. 17 if I make it until then! I have a 6 year old, Jane Audrey, and a 4 year old, Henry Atlas. If this is a girl, she'll be Louisa Margaret, and if a boy, probably Leo or Charlie, but there is much discussion and negotiation left there! I hope nobody I know reads this site because we try to keep the name a surprise, particularly with family!

I'm not due, just obsessed! That means you can't get rid of me.

Hi!

I'm not pregnant, but my husband and I would like to start our family now. We would like to have between 2-4 kids, so we've started discussing names. I really love Josephine, Alice, and Violet. My husband really only likes to talk about boy names. We like Finn, Donovan, Beckett, and Seamus (I also love the names Milo, Henry, and Jasper, but he doesn't). I think it's going to be kind of tough deciding on names! I also can't really talk about names with family, because they don't like any that I like (I can see the look of disgust and horror in their eyes when I mention Josephine or Milo), so I'm very happy I discovered Nameberry!

Did you know that March 17 is St Patricks Day!!?? Have you thought about giving your child an Irish middle or first name?
