From the beginning, we had agreed that C would name the boys, and I would name the girls. Well, with having 2 girls, that kind of trips things up, so he names one and I got the other, and hopefully a) I wouldn't totally hate his choice and b) it didn't clash with my names!
So without further ado, our baby girls will be:
Avery Pamela
Sydney Carolanne
The middle names are after our moms. Just shortly after our decision, we were shopping and C found these, which I think was fate, because they really aren't super popular names, and to find them both was just awesome.
I had a quick doctors appointment yesterday as well. Up 25lbs (eek), blood pressure spot on, and the girls heartrates were 156 and 152. I'm not sure how much longer I will see this doctor, I'll likely be trekking to Kingston exclusively pretty soon.
It's been so nice to be off this week. We (as in C) cleared out the guest room, and we made a bunch of purchases. Up next is painting the room, ripping out the old carpet and laying down our new cork floor (yay!) and putting furniture together! Awesome! I hope to have the 'bones' of the nursery done within the next 2 weeks, so I can get on to decorating. Many ideas are floating around up in here, I hope I can pull it all together!
C also felt the baby kick this week, an amazing milestone! What a way to celebrate our third Anniversary: sanding, priming, painting!
Next peek at the girls will be in 2 weeks. I can't wait. I'm stepping back from the support group that I have been a part of since the beginning of my IVF journey. So many of the moms-to-be are experiencing complications, especially thinning of the cervix, I just can't deal with that now. I need positive energy and positive thoughts only! I haven't even had a measurement of my cervix, and I'm rather happy living in this denial right now, thanks. I'll know enough in 2 weeks.
As much as I want to stay working for bringing in much needed income, I'm really really looking forward to being off. I'm going to miss my afternoon naps when I go back to work tomorrow!
I absolutely LOVE the names and those were on my short list of girls names. Avery was on my boys list too but DH liked Maxwell better.
ReplyDeleteI understand your thoughts about the IVF site but if those ladies have been supportive of you then you shouldnt up and leave. Maybe distance yourself but pop in frequently to let them know that they are in your thoughts.
Great names. And I don't know if you noticed but I stepped back from the IVF forums too. Too much scary... my doctor told me to stay off the internet lol!
ReplyDeleteSM, for sure, I still stop by every few days or so and still post, but no where near as much as I did.
ReplyDeleteI totally did notice, A! Quite a few people not posting like they did before. I'm glad we can keep in touch this way!
Debs - once our girls are all here we will definitely have to meet up!
