Names-Sick-Pain-Weird Cravings...AAAh!
I'm going insane! Right now... well today we picked out Katelyn. My husband likes Katie/Kate. I like Katelyn (Katie) for short. My son Matthew (whos 8) has agreed. He has to agree as well 
Samantha is out we got tired of that one. (except for matt...he still likes Samantha) Samantha is a hard name for me because I had a beloved cat named Sam. He was my baby and then there is my cousin Sammy and my uncle sam... so for me Sam is a hard one to use. Morgan is out because Matt HATES it because it rhymes with organ and he cannot get past that and had never heard of it before and it seemed weird to him. My husband tired of Morgan. SOOO... I still like April a bit but my husband isn't keen on it and neither is Matthew. My husband says...she isn't going to be born in April so april is out. rofl. SOOO
OOOOO... I am back to the original ones that everyone is ok with which is:
Katelyn
Brianna
Ashley
'sigh' so far in that order. SOrtof. My husband and Matt aren't keen on Brianna. I told Matt is was so pretty and feminine and a popular name. He told me that he didn't want our girl to be toooo girly... that the name can't be too girly and she couldn't be too girly like me! ROFL. I was like HEY! I was a tomboy when I was little! he was like YOU WERE A TOMBOY? Whats that? rofl. I told him I liked to play with cars and ride my bike and just was a little rough thing when I was little. But I did still like my barbies as well, just my barbies always found themselves in dire peril. rofl.
I have been soooo sick you guys!!! I was real bad for a whole week...just a knock down drag out cold. I went to the doctors when my ears got infected and were killing me as well as my throat. Doc gave me anitbiotics told me to wait because he thought my body was winning the battle. Ok so I waited and didn't fill my prescription then got SO sick on sunday...had no antibiotic to help me since I hadn't filled my prescription... I ended up getting PINK EYE! it was sooooooooooo bad!!! I found some gel that I looked up on the web and it was considered class c for pregnancy which is not good not bad... I HAD too though I was in such pain and misery. So i used it and thankfully i started to feel better. Went to the doc and he was shocked I hadn't gotten any better. He gave me a safer eye drop for my eye. THankfully I didn't have to take it very long as my eye cleared up. but I am STILL sick and its been 3 weeks. I CANNOT get rid of this cough and chest congestion. I have about 2 more days for my antibiotics but at night and in the morning are terrible. THEN on top of this I have been having burning pains in my stomach. I swear guys I think I have an ulcer in my pouch!!! which I have heard is rare but the burning I get... OH MY GO****wice I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital. I told my doc and she said it was probably more gas than anything. I know that has alot to do with it because when I walk it does get better but the PAIN IS TERRIBLE! BUT BUT BUT... she upped my vitamins and told me to take 2 instead of one and that is when my pain started. SOOOOO i'm thinking the 2 vitamins is 2222 much. She wanted me to take the extra vitamin because my iron was just a tad low. But not low or anything to cause worry so I cut my vitamins back to one a day but take 2 a day every like 3 days... if that made sense. I had 2 today and had that burning pain. I walk till I'm about to drop because if I stop walking the pain comes. It usually lasts about 1/2 hour 45 min then I'm fine again. THEN i have this HORRIBLE craving to smell gasoline or chemicals. Some weird form of pica... its so bad that i get anxiety from it and it takes everythign in me not to go out and sniff the gas cap to my car!!! insane!!! I NEVER had these many issues with my first. Can't wait to have her!
I am having a scheduled C-section... Due date is June 18th 
Wow this turned out quite long! Maureen I loved your story about Jillian. Jillian is a sweet name and I like Ann Jillian. I remember when she came public with her cancer. It was the first real actress that made such an impression on me. I think she impacted alot of lives. This little girl has certainly put me through the ringer. This darn cough is driving me insane and at night I wake up and it hurts so bad and is hard to breathe. You will find me 2:30 - 3 in the morning with the hot shower on so I can breathe in the steam and clear my chest. I swear the little girl is going to come out coughing!
well enough about my *****ing My mom is throwing me a shower this saturday. (on the up side) I'm so excited about it. Having a little girl is so exciting! My son kept hearing about the shower and asked my mom... "mom-mom... you are throwing mommy a shower? Won't everyone get wet?" my mom was like what??? I guess he thought that a shower was like a picnic type party but with water fun! LIke a sprinkler so everyone can play in the water. ROFL.... they are too funny. I try to keep him involved in everything of course. I'm getting ready to throw him a big birthday party... his birthday is june 29th!!! so you know.. .he needs a big party aroudn the 2nd so he doesn't feel so left out of course. I'm going to be REALLLY popping out here in a couple of weeks! Thats going to be interesting dealing with 21 kids 9 months pregnant! ROFL... well ok i'm going to stop typing now... im sure most didn't make it through this loooonnnggg post. ((hugs everyone))

A couple of things...if I catch you sniffing gasoline, I'm gonna whip your butt! What's up with that??? Stick to pickles and ice cream, ok??? About names: my brother named his daughter Brianna after our younger brother, Brian, died (he was a paraplegic and died peacefully in his sleep of heart failure - I still miss him so very much). Still, I've never cared for the name Brianna. As for my Jillian, the psychologist at my surgeon's office was so taken with my daughter's name (can you tell I spent a good deal of time with the psychologist at my surgeon's office???) that she recently named her new daughter Jillian! I still love my daughter's name, it suits her so very well. She's every bit as beautiful as her name! She comes home from college tonight -- I can't wait!!! Katelyn is pretty, 'lizbet. I've always loved Kate, or Katie. If all else fails, I'm a firm believer in looking into your new daughter's beautiful little face and her name will just pop into your head. We were all set on naming our son Ian until we saw him; he was definitely not an Ian - he was a Devin, and he loves his name! Listen, you need to rest a bit. Start preparing for this the way you prepared for your surgery - with peace and anticipation, and knowing that your life will never be the same! Can't wait to hear the good news. Give little Matt a squeeze from Aunt Reenie! Hugs, baby doll - M.
I remember being sick with a cold in the middle of an Arizona summer while I was 8 months pregnant. Not fun. I really feel for you on that one.
I like the name Katelyn. Lots of possibilities with a name like that. I have a friend who named her daughter BreeAnna. I do think that Brianna is just about done to death. It's like Jessica was a few years ago. I've always loved the name Becca. I met someone named Becca years ago and only for a few hours, but she had such a good presence about her that I fell in love with the name.
I'm worried about the pain in your tummy. Have you tried eating something like mashed potatoes or crackers before you take the vitamins?
Hang in there kid. You're almost a mommy again and this will al pass.
By the way, have you though about naming her Marcher? OK, maybe not.
Hugs,
Connie
I Like Katelyn & the spelling. Works well & is pretty to boot!!. Never been pregnant so can't tell you much on that front, but, I agree with Connie, maybe eat something with those Vitamins beofre taking them.
It's almost over, so You can enjoy your bunle of Joy & hoepfully not be sick anymore.
