I've been having a strange feeling that I wanted to pass along to you all and see if anyone else can relate.
In the past, we've found out the gender of both girls. We named them and we were able to bond with that name and child.
Now that we don't know what the gender is, we've named both, but we're only getting one of them. To me, it's weird and sad that we aren't getting both. I have totally bonded with the baby, and I feel like we have both. But I know in the end, we will only have one of them. It's sad to me to think we won't use one of the names. I know that once we have it, we won't be able to imagine things any other way, but it's still a feeling I have now.
Did any one you feel this way that did not find out the gender?
I also had a dream the other night that I wasn't pregnant anymore, and I was so sad.
I can't believe I only have a few more weeks.
It is hard enough to come up with one name (as you know) that you like let alone two. It is a little sad that you will not be able to use one of the names, but the sadness or disappointment does not last as soon as that baby is placed in your arms and you know that this is the baby you are meant to have.
ReplyDeleteSee, Myah, that is why you need one more after this one! That way you can use your other name :)
ReplyDeleteNo, in all seriousness, I know what you mean. Lee and I have had a girl name picked out since before Krue was born. We will be very sad if we don't ever use it. Especially since it is the only name Lee picked out himself. Our girl's middle name we have picked out has special meaning to us as well.
I'll bet that is sad to think about not being pregnant anymore. You just have to focus on the positives.
So excited to meet Baby St.John #3... boy or girl!
I TOTALLY know what you mean! With Nathan, it was one name. With Carson, we had the boy and girl name picked out. So, I still sometimes think about the girl name. But, once we had Carson, I felt so happy that we could use THAT name. :) I know, wierd. Maybe we will use the girl name for a pet later in life just so I can use that name... :)
ReplyDeleteI ALREADY feel sad that if we have another baby it would be my last pregnancy. I can't imagine never feeling a baby move inside me again. Do you feel like you are trying to cherish every moment of your pregnancy?
I cannot relate on the not knowing the sex part. But...I definitly am sad that I may never be pregnant again. There are countless special moments when you are pregnant that no-one else can experience but you at that particular moment! Something to cherish!
ReplyDeleteI was sad about that with Anna cause I knew it would most likely be our last. Then when someone else used that name I was even jealous in a weird sort of way. I miss the whole pregnancy excitement also.
