If it is a boy we have pretty much decided he isn't going to have a name. We can not for the life of us think of a boy name that we both like!! It has to be simple, not too popular, and not unisex... I can't believe how hard it is to pick a name!!!
We're in the same boat, except we're having a girl. We already decided that a boy would be Joshua Charles, but we're totally lost on girl names. A lot of names we like, combined with our last name make very awkward acronyms. Plus, dH and I have very different ideas about girl names.

Baby has taken to pushing a foot out, way out of my belly lately. I keep thinking "hey, the door is at the bottom, push out of that spot!"
When the baby dropped my belly got smaller, now it looks like it's getting bigger again. Can I just say that I am so uncomfortable? He just keeps getting lower and those sciatic pains are stronger and longer. I am constipated now, I think it's because he's sitting on my rectum and I've got way bad hemmies. I want him to come out. I am beginning to feel desperate. My midwife will strip my membranes and I'm beginning to think I should let her. I am starting to get discouraged. But I must say that today is the same day I went into labor with Nadia, with no pre labor at all, I had her at 39 weeks and 1 day. I have had about 3 weeks of pre labor now, and I mean painful contractions too.
Chelsea, the pic of your little girl reminded me I forgot to buy a bath puff today at the store.  I have this wonderful lavender body soap that I want to use and I don't have a puff to use it! It's stuff like this that is sending me over the edge.
And I had such a great attitude about all of this yesterday, what happened?
I think I just need a hug.

Sorry you're feeling so yucky, Kathryn. I'm praying that baby just decides to COME and then everybody wins. (((Kathryn)))

Kathryn - you are almost there! You are so close! You can do it - just take it one day at a time and try to keep your mind occupied. It won't be long at all now, even though it seems like forever right now. I don't know if this works for everyone, but for me it helps to pick a date that is three or four weeks after the due date and keep telling myself that the baby will definitely be here by that point in time. That way my mind is thinking about the distant date instead of the closer due date.

My heart is heavy this morning. A friend of mine from my mommy group looks to be loosing her baby at 26 weeks pregnant. I only have a few details, but I'd want to preserve her privacy anyways. She's in the hospital now, and I should hear more within the coming week.

Yes, I know it is sometimes possible for the baby to live, but many times it isn't.
All I know is that there were problems with the delivery of nutrition from the placenta. I'm assuming that if the baby is alive and not doing well in the womb they will deliver, but it doesn't look very good at this point.

Purejoy (Kati?) I think you are nuts for being surprised! 
I am way way way too much of a planner not to find out the sex of the baby, I am already going crazy not knowing! I have a very strong feeling it's a boy but I really want another little girl so we shall see. If it is a boy we have pretty much decided he isn't going to have a name. We can not for the life of us think of a boy name that we both like!! It has to be simple, not too popular, and not unisex... I can't believe how hard it is to pick a name!!!
As far as red raspberry leaf tea goes it seems everywhere I research says different things so I guess I will just email my midwife and see what she says.
How about Henry? Paul? Joel? Micah? Hmmm... There are lots of good "simple" Bible names.
Lol those are very nice simple names... and you are right there are tons. I like lots of them but I don't love them and there in lies my problem. I *love* Mary's name and I want to love our boys name too!!
Do you have a boy name Ryanne?
There are only a handful of girl bible names that I like. But I LOVE the majority of the boy biblical names.
David, Luke (David Luke is what my boy's name will be...), Matthew, James, Samson, Adam, Daniel, Jacob, Josiah, Samuel, Aaron, Gabriel, Joseph, John,
Of course, there are some less traditional boy name. Hezekiah, Ezekiel, Nehemiah, (some of which I love, but not sure I'd name a boy in this day and age).
I once met a woman who's name was Dorkus (sp?).
