I think if you like the name Gideon, you should convince Paul to use it. Don't worry about me. It's not like we're neighbors, and we already both have Hannahs anyway. I don't like to use names the same as people we go to church with, but I don't mind at all with people here.
LOL....actually our top two picks are Josiah or Micah...and Paul said yesterday that IF I go to July 4th, then he wants something a bit more "patriotic"....so he likes Justice if I go that long. We will see...the dr said today that she may let me go that long...but she really has to see considering my history. My mom can't come until then, and anything before that date we don't know what we will do with the kids...they can't be at the hospital the whole time (only during visiting hours...10am-8pm....and not during the last part of labor and delivery). So in some ways I do want to hold off til July when she will be here to watch them. However, I don't know if my body can handle that or not. I have already gained twice as much weight as I did with my last three pregnancies...and my BP is staying pretty high (for me)....around the 130-135/80-85 mark.

I have a pair of jeans that's a size too big, but I feel ridiculous wearing them at only 7 1/2 weeks
Amy, I was wearing my jeans fully unbuttoned and mostly unzipped with my bella band at around 7 weeks. Don't feel ridiculous! I was in mat jeans at between 11-13 weeks, and I hadn't gained any weight either, it was just my uterus growing and bloating. You're normal 
Emily - love the belly pics!!! And a late May baby is still an on-time baby, and that's the main thing! Me, I'm just trying to hold out until June 5th. After that, come whenever you want, June Bug!!
I had an appt yesterday - 33w + 3d. BP was 110/64, urine negative for sugar/protein, June Bug's heart rate was 138, my fundal height was 33, and I've gained a total of 24 lbs. And - June Bug's head down again!! WUHOO! I'm definitely glad for that - I did NOT want the stress of knowing he/she was breech with studying for my exam! God is good =) My next appointment (May 12) is my GBS swab appt  . My m/w said that she thinks, if I'm positive, that she'll likely be able to get me antibiotics for home - which is great! We'll just pray that it's negative, though. I think we'll also be talking about the routine newborn stuff (ie. erythromycin, vitamin k, etc.) at the next appt, so I've gotta do lots of research and talk to my hubby before we go!
Donna, you are a bum! I think you're having a girl, though, since that was your gut instinct and you haven't been wrong yet! I don't know why you won't tell US though - you're no fun!
Lily - 3 more weeks! That's unbelievable, eh?
I can't believe I'm 5th!! It'll be an interesting race to the finish between Emily, Brandy, Adria, and I, since we're all due within about a week of one another - and Sarah - you too, since it sounds like you have a decent chance of being induced early  . I hope for your sake that you're able to carry till July if that makes it easier for your family!! I hope, though, that your care provider takes your concerns seriously - you've had this condition each time, and you know your body best. I'm concerned that they're not concerned  .

You are super cute! You don't look like I imagined. But most people don't on the internet!
What a cute belly!
I love looking at the pictures.

Cute pic Lily! And no stretch marks to be seen! Lucky! My belly looks like zebra skin! You are very cute. I love your hair! Not long to go now!
Kim, The race is on! I can't believe I'm # 2! Of course with my luck I'll probably go to 42 weeks. But she'll get here when she gets here I guess. I keep hoping that she comes early, and then I feel guilty that I don't want her to stay in there another 5 weeks! And then the next minute I want her to stay in there forever because she's so easy to take care of and please while she's in there and I know she's safe and I worry about her being exposed to such a cruel and dangerous world where I can't give her everything she'll need and want. Pregnancy hormones are crazy! I think I'm driving my DH batty. I'll be laying in bed crying that I'm so uncomfortable I just don't want to be pregnant anymore and then in the same sentence crying that I want her to stay in there longer until I'm ready to take care of her and provide for her properly!
Jessica, when we were newly married my DH said he wanted 5 boys and he wanted the first three to be named Justus, Trophemus, and Hunter. He thought it was cool that those names were in the bible! I told him he was crazy and we were going to have all girls!
I'm tired this morning. I don't seem to sleep anymore. I just lay there and toss and turn all night. I just keep chanting to myself "The end is in sight! The end is in sight!" Not that I'll be getting anymore sleep after she comes, but atleast I'll have a baby to distract me!
I just found out that my aunt and uncle are expecting! I'm so excited for them! They have been married for 4 years and they weren't sure if they were going to have any kids because my uncle already has a 12 year old boy from a previous marriage and they didn't know if they wanted to add anymore. I'm so excited! I think they will be great parents. And now my little girl will have a first cousin once removed to play with (there are no babies being born in my family right now, so she'd be all alone otherwise.)

LOL - glad to see I've invoked everyone's competitive side  The race is on!! Lily, we will of course let you go first - unless you go to 42 weeks, then it's every woman for herself!! BTW, your belly is sooo beautiful! Jess - you keep that baby in there! No line jumping!

David is head down but on my right side. His butt in up in my ribs on the right and his head is by my hip on the left. My midwife said that means he is more likely to turn postierior.
Yeah - when I was researching fetal positioning, that's what I read too. Thankfully, there's lots of stuff you can do to encourage a posterior baby to turn anterior - just in the way you sit and stand and such. My educator was likening our uterus to a hammock. When you're reclining, the baby's back slides to your spine due to gravity, so if you can sit very upright (or on a birth ball) or do the cat stretches (arch your back and then let your belly hang), you might encourage him to turn ... and they can turn right up to and during labour, so just keep on trying! June Bug's head seems to be right in the middle (that's where she grabbed it yesterday - lol) so I'm not sure what that means.
BTW, why do you say boy?
(((Adria))) my sleeping's not be so fantastic lately either ... although the past few nights have been heavenly - all last week I was awake every 1 - 1.5 hours. We're almost there!

I've already got lots of stretch marks. My little brother saw them the other day when my shirt came up and was like "What happened??" I was just playing with his rambunctious dog and he was afraid he'd hurt me and the baby. I explained to him what stretch marks were.

I like to think of stretch marks as my "service stripes"...lol! Mine have faded a great deal since Hunter was born and are not as noticeable which is a nice surprise. I thought they would always look hideous. I love this feeling of being comfortable with my body for once in my life. No sense in dwelling on what it use to look like or what I wish it looked like. It is what it is and I gotta work with what I have got.

And cute belly pictures! It's fun to see you growing. 
I think that if I hadn't lost a baby in December, she would have been disappointed when we found out that I was just having one baby. Now, though, she's just happy that this baby is safe.
