Massie is kinda a family name. My mom's boyfriend was talking about his dad one day and his name was Massie and I really thought it was a neat name. I'm not stuck on it though. I really am leaning heavily toward Wyatt. Wyatt also happens to be the first name we liked but just didn't think it went well with our last name. Frogichik I'm happy to hear that someone likes Myla. It is kinda a different name and it's really not my style to be real different. DH and I just could not come up with a name that we went "oh I like that" until we saw that name. I really think that I'm having a boy anyway so chances are that it won't matter anyway. I will just have to remember it for next time....it there is a next time.

I really like Myla. That's very nice. We had such a hard time finding a boys name we liked (Nathan was not named until 2 wks after birth)... but we had a few girls names we liked. We'll have to see what we're having this time - if it's a girl it will be so much easier!

Thanks Enbwife I like it to. I was wondering if we would not have a name on time either. My mom did not have a name right away and was named "baby girl - last name" for a week. I actually think it's cute!!

Tishala, I just noticed your rant about Coco Arquette-- When I read that, I thought, "Is she named that because the mom is Courteney Cox Arquette? I hope not..." I think it's a cute name...Except I wonder if people will make fun (Koko the signing gorilla). I'm just paranoid, I guess! Wouldn't Apple be Apple Martin? Not that that sounds much better (it sounds like a new car, like Aston-Martin)....

Wasn't me who dissed the Myla name, sweetie...I think it's cute! I saw a picture of a little girl in the paper the other day. She was about 2-3 years old. Her name was Mary! I just about fell of the chair...never thought I'd see the day when 'old-fashioned' names like my own would be used again.

Twas me. Sorry! But Myla not only reminds me of mylar and Mylanta, but now, also of the boy's name, Milo---which I know was a character in a book I loved and read to my son when he was younger (CRS), but I don't care for that name, either. But Spitfire, you should like what you like. Don't worry about what anyone else thinks!! I have always liked the name Celeste and I can't think of a single person who agrees with me!! Doesn't matter to me at all.

Escapee I like the name Lily. May is my middle name too!! It was something that I never like growing up with but now I like the softness of it. Herckleperckle I agree with you and no need to say sorry. Everyone likes different names and I am not the type to worry about what others will think.

Myla reminds me of the old southern ladies, and I mean that in a good way. I grew up with older ladies in town named Miss Lina and Miss Augzale and Miss Eppie, etc. Can't you imagine "Miss Myla"? I think it has the right mix of unique, simple and pretty. And you are soooo correct, if kids want to pick on a name, they will find a way to do it. HP, I like Celeste too. Rupert, I know a little girl named Helen and I had the same reaction. I didn't think anyone used those names anymore!

Wooohooo is right!!! This is my first and maybe my last.....naw.....probly not. I am feeling good. The carpel tunnel is really getting extreme because of all the last month swelling. I am having a hard time doing anything with my fingers and hands. It must be torture to watch me try to do something with my fingers because usually people will ask if they can help me about 10 seconds into something. LOL!! 4 weeks to go but I hope it's not that long. Spoken like every pregnant lady right!! I am only working for 2 more weeks and then am off. I would like time enough to get some last minute paperwork and bills under control before all my time is taken by baby, but then again, it can happen now.

Baby Spitfire can now officially be known as Samuel aka Sam. Sam was born on July 14th at 11:32 pm and weighed in at 5lbs 14oz. There is no official length or anything yet because he is still in the Constant Care Nursery. As far as I was concerned he was 3 weeks early but all the pediatricians say he is 5 weeks early and are treating him as a premie. I went to a doctors appointment on Monday the 12th and they discovered extremely high blood pressure so the enduced labour on the 14th. I am still fighting the high blood pressure but am hoping that it will get better when Sam gets to come home. I'm not exactly sure when that may be but am hoping that it will be today or tomorrow. I am not sure when I will get to a computer again to give a report but sure hope it's soon. I hope everyone is well and look forward to "seeing " you all soon.

Yay!!!!!! Congratulations Spitfire, though I am sorry to hear about your high bp and being induced. I know how hard it must be to go home without him, but better to be cautious than not. Keeping you and Sam in my thoughts and prayers!

Congratulations, Spitfire! Welcome to the world, Sam! (BTW, I LOVE the name Sam. It used to be my desire to have two boys and one girl and I had already picked out the boys' names- Samuel Gregory and Benjamin Charles. I've accepted that I will probably never have children, but I still get the warm fuzzies when I hear the name Sam.) I can't wait to see pictures! Good luck with everything. Keep us posted on his and your progress and I hope he comes home SOON!

OK I have 5 minutes here at my mom's with access so here's the scoop.... I went to the hospital at 8:00 on Wednesday morning and they applied the first gel. Nothing really happened, some mild contractions but they were not bad at all. They then applied the second gel at about 2:00pm and the same deal, no contractions but it was helping to dialate. Through this whole process I was not allowed to leave my bed except to use the washroom because of the high blood pressure. I had to stay mostly on my left side for the whole day and was bored stiff. The only thing that kept me going was knowing that soon enough I would not be bored. 8:00pm the doctor can in to break my water and then said that I could try waling very slowing and to not over-do it. Well so much for that...when I got back to my room my blood pressure was 168 over 117 and I was chained to the bed again. Labour really did not start hard with me until about 10:00 and I had Sam at 11:32. It was an experience that I will never forget and hope nobody here ever has to leave their baby at hospital. You know that they are at the best place but it certainly does not make it any easier. He finally got to come home on day 13 and is now 6 weeks old and weighs 8pounds 13ounces. He has red hair and what I think will be blue eyes. Thanks for all your well wishes!!

It sounds like he is thriving, congratulations again! I was also induced because I was 1.5 weeks overdue, I understand the boredom! Came in at 8 a.m. on a pitocin drip and waited; nothing. They broke my water at 1 p.m., increased the drip, Rowan was finally born almost 12 hours later at 12:35 a.m.! Like you I think I had probably 90 minutes really hard labor. It took so long that I'm scared about this next birth happening the regular way-- Maybe it will seem too fast for me! Rowan's eyes were very obviously brown from birth, you are probably right about the blue eyes! Congratulations again.
