Laschae springs a bean!

Oh and Erik turns to me this morning and says "Fuck! The baby needs a name..........doesn't he?!"
:poke

Well, hopefully that wasn't his choice of name! Talk about being teased at school! :teehee

WIC was a wonderful God-send when I had my girl; I wasn't able to nurse Jen and the formula would have KILLED us financially if it hadn't been for WIC. :)

LOL Yea we really don't have a name for him yet and every time I look up baby names I just get frustrated because nothing seems right. I think I'm back to James as a first name but I dunno!

WIC was great for Kami. I had no problems nursing CeCe but Kami was sick, colicky, and had thrush for 2 months and I had to stop nursing her. So it's nice to know that if things don't go right there's something out there to help us out. We went to get the diapering essentials and in the isle was the formula and a big can was $25! I about crapped myself. It's really weird. WICs financial requirements are alot higher than the Medicare requirements. I think it's like $3100 a month for a family of 5 for WIC and it's $2900 for Medicare. Thank god they already count the baby as his own little person.

I think with my first son we got the 10.000 baby names book and we chose page numbers, then another number to find a name randomly.. after about 7 or 8 tries we found Tristan, and I liked it, so it stuck hehe. Most think he was named after brad pitts character..since he was born about a year after the moviecame out. Not true :)

Didnt want to go with a family name since theres about a billion davids and michaels and dougs in our families, bleh!

Make sure when you pick a name you like the abreeviations and nicknames for em! like for james it would be Jimmy or Jamie.. If you like them then it might be a keeper! :)

Or Jimbo :teehee

Is it sad that the nick name is almost more important than the actual name? That's what is making me hesitate on Nathan because we don't like Nate or Nat! If we name his James we would either call him James or Jay, we hate Jimmy and Jamie. Yes, we're nuts. I said yesterday hey what about Christian ( I was watching a clip from Moulin Rouge) and Erik said only if we can call him Christ. :cross

I didn't get a baby name book because I figure hell I have the internet for that! My mom has said I don't know how many times to get a book. Mommy always knows best....damn it!

Hell, Ryan and I had a list of names, but we were still trying to make our mind up as I was sitting there in labor. lol

when we had our first two we had had a little girls name all picked out incase we had a girl.. (Dawn) and then when we finally had our daughter it totally slipped our minds and we named her after a couple of his friends instead lol. ( Sarah Allison)

Michaels and Davids here! =D Mike wanted to change David's name 3 days after he was born to Michael David Jr. and I was like, 'WTF - NO!!! IT'S ON PAPER ALREADY!!!' He always does that to me!

haha! you cant change your mind!

could do like my hubby does to his neices and nephews.. he calls my nephew George ( real name regory Michael) and my neice Sue ( real name Jayden)

Greg is now 12 and knows better

Jayden is 5 and .. well Im not quite sure what she thinks about it but she responds to Sue as easily as she does to Jayden hehe ( hes so mean!)

I dunno how many times Erik has said to just name him whatever I like. He doesn't seem to understand I WANT input even if the names he mentions are hideous. He wanted to name the baby Helen if it was a girl....not my cup of tea.

I have a nephew who's Nathan. Strangely enough, he's always BEEN Nathan, and noone ever called him Nate or Nat; the only thing he was called other than Nathan was Boogerhead, and only I was allowed to call him that ;)

Yea I like the full name Nathan but I'm just not sure =\ My mom seems to love it and so does just about everyone else. I spent I dunno 2 hours maybe yesterday looking over a baby name site saying every name to myself with Edwards attached to it. You would think with such a bland last name it would be easy to match it up with any random name.....but no. I think I am just going to let it go right now. When I see him I'm sure I will know what to name him. It took me 3 days to name CeCe just because I kept going back and forth between a few names!

And please for my own sanity please remind me to stay the hell out of the upstairs bathroom....full body mirrors + pregnancy do not mix for me.

One week to go =\ The Dr. office did not schedule the c-section and they are not open on Fridays all of a sudden, maybe summer hours? I dunno. So back to bugging them on Monday. I kind of wish I would just go into labor and be done with it. Tired of being uncomfortable.

At least one good thing has happened. We finally got medicare. Now I don't have to stress over paying a bill I can't afford. You think I could get my $1000 back from the Dr. that I paid him for the delivery lol? That would be nice, not realistic but it would be nice.

GOOD LUCK!

I wish you a safe and easy labor.

You could start walking, have some sex, eat a ton of pineapple, drink some balsalmic vinegar...

Just an update.

Went to the hospital to get the pre-register shit out of the way.

We go in tomorrow at 5:30 am, surgery is scheduled for 7:30 am so baby probably around 7:45. Then they wash me out, close me up, and I go chill out in recovery for an hour ish. So should be wrapped up by about 9:45 Mountain Time.

Still nervous but that's to be expected. So will post when I have time.

Good luck hon, and best wishes for you, the wee one, and the rest of the family!!

I was just wondering today if you were going in soon. WOOT GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!

good luck hun! :hug:

GOOD LUCK! Can't wait to hear how it went and see pics!
