New Baby

Some of you may remember that we experienced a loss in the Spring.

I am here to share the happy news that we are expecting a New Baby in March.
I am sixteen weeks and everything is well thus far.

However, I have had SO many mixed emotions. While my husband is very happy that we are just expecting one baby- it has at times felt bittersweet. We have a large family so- the twins were not our first- however, expecting them and having two babies grow and fill my womb was so special and just one little baby has such a different feel!! In reality- I am honestly not sure how my body would have done/would do- carrying twins again- so I see the blessing and the grace- I just thought I would share this here- thinking that maybe some other moms know what I am feeling.

Secondly- I was convinced- totally convinced this baby was a boy and found at yesterday that we are having a girl!!!

So- my emotions have just been all over the map this pregnancy.

I totally obsessed and stressed over naming our girl twins- and now I am heading down that path naming this one. I don't know why I am so much more peaceful naming boys! (we have five boys).

So- if anyone wants to share name ideas for fun- I would appreciate it! I make no promises that we will use them. Names are hard for us right now!

Our children have Bible names except for one twin who has a family name and her twin sister has a loose variation of a bible-themed name.

Our girls are:
Abigaile

Aymee
Melodee

-Rebecca

 

Congrats on the new baby!!! How wonderful! I love Biblical names, too. My favorites are:

Susannah
Miriam
Mariah

 

Congratulations! Have a healthy pregnancy!

 

Congrats! My two favorite girl names are Sarah and Emily. Those are the two I was going to really push for if we were having girls. We're having boys though and we quickly chose Joshua and Matthew. I kinda wish we were naming twin B Samuel instead of Matthew but I'm not even about to bring it up now with DH. Plus, my friend made quilts and put the boys names on them.

 

I have always loved these names: Ruby, Eve, Grace, Ruthie, Olive, Sarah, Rhoda, Emily, Eden, and Julia.

I wanted a Bible themed name for our daughter so these are fresh in my mind. My husband didn't like them, though he did consider Ruby for a second.

Congratulations on your newest miracle! Big families are such a blessing! Sending prayers for a healthy and uneventful pregnancy!

 

Congrats and my first thought for a name was Grace after reading your comment "so I see the blessing and the grace" Good luck

 

We seem to be due around the same time and we also experienced a loss in the spring. Girls names are much trickier! I have about 4 boy names that I love and not a single girls name!

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

 

Thank you so much for the well wishes and name thoughts!
I agree- I have found girl names to tricky. My husband and I struggle to come to agreement more with girl names, I think.

I think we are going to name her:

Elenora (Nora)God is my Light, bright one, shining one. Nora also means woman of honor.
Siobhan (Shi-Vawn) Irish Gaelic/Hebrew name- from the English name Joan who was my Irish paternal grandmother. God is gracious.

So- we deviate from our pattern- but I have peace and we agree!!!!!

 

Congratulations!!!

I am due March 9th. When are you due?

I found out early (our gender) because when I had my appt. on Tuesday- the midwife couldn't find the heartbeat. (O.My.) I wasn't too worried because I thought I felt the baby move- but it was still a little scary. I knew I would sob in the ultrsound if anything was wrong. I felt so fragile. Thankfully, all was well with a good strong heartbeat and I asked her to check gender since I was 16 weeks and a couple days.

I was convinced, convinced this baby was a boy- so it was a welcome surprise and mental adjustment!!!

(we will confirm at 20 weeks.)

 

Congratulations!

 

I'm due the 9th as well! Small world In Germany we do ultrasounds at every appointment but my last scan the baby had crossed legs so no luck! I have to go in tomorrow for a scan to determine the location of my placenta and I'm hoping they will be able to see something!

I love the girl names you are considering! Different, but not way out there. Beautiful
