There is some place that you can send blood or urine to (at 5 weeks along in your pregnancy) and they give you the sex with a 95% accuracy....

Annie - ANNIE is the Greek form of the Hebrew name Hannah. Hannah means “gracious,” “grace,” or “graceful.” It has also been interpreted to mean “God has favored me.”

I like it!

Nope, I won't find out until about October, maybe late september. Sierra is out because that is too close to my sister's name. My Best Friend is having a girl named Hannah.

I like Lauren and Allen, they are kind of timeless.

Julie..the boys names you picked, my sil has 3 boys names, Riley, Kolton and Evan.

The boy name I always like and if I ever had a boy (which I didn't :-) ) would of been named Kevin Fergus (fergus after my late dad)

I am not sure where to post this as my inquiry is both infant and older child related, but I thought I'd try this place first

My BabyButter was born prematurely and ended up with a handful strawberry hemangiomas (red raised bumps). They are all tiny except for one that's on her left shoulder (right in the photo).


My pediatrician and the information I've read all say that the strawberries will fade, shrink and eventually go away by age nine. But the other day I met a woman who said she had to have hers surgically removed when she was older.

It really isn't a big concern of mine as long as my baby is healthy and happy. However, it does have me curious about other people's experience and/or knowledge.

Thank you in advance!

Oops, too late to edit the previous post and switch the photo, but here is one that better shows the strawberry I'm talking about

Hiya Buttercup!

My dd had three of these "strawberries" when she was born. One was on the corner of her nose, one on her leg and the other right under her right butt cheek. The dr. told me they would fade as well (but they said by age 11) They weren't as dark as your dd though. I wish I had a picture to show you. Anyways, the one on her face went away by the time she was two. The darker one on her leg is still there and very prominent. The one that is on her little bum has n fact gotten much lighter and looks to me that it will definately fade completely in the next few years.

Everytime we had a DR. appointment they would measure them and note their appearance. I would suggest doing this yourself if your dr. doesn't already. My daughter is 8 now and they have not gone completely away, but they have faded significanlty. I will see if I can convince her to let me snap a picture to show you

Okay..I managed to take some pics! Lol.
By the way your buttercup is an absolute doll!!!

Okay, so here are dd's "strawberries at the age of 8 now. I didn't even notice how faded they really are until I took these. You can hardly tell!






I would just keep an eye on them and note any changes throughout the years. Maybe even take pictures. If you dont see them fading then they might in fact require additional help.

Your butterbunny is beautiful. I think when her fur comes in they will be covered anyway. (Jr. had one it faded by 6, wasnt as dark though)

I can't see her feet and her ears haven't started growing yet, is her daddy a rabbit or a hare?

Sillycalimomma and Rabbit, thank you so much for your responses! Silly, thanks for the pictures as well--I'm not even going to ask how you got your dd to pose Anyway, I really value your input!

Every time we see the pediatrician, she checks out the berries. They have definitely stopped growing, but have yet to show any signs of fading. The one on her shoulder is still very warm to the touch--kinda weird. The only "problem" we have with it is that other children find it fascinating and want to touch it all the time...so far she doesn't seem to mind Being that she is my daughter, I'm sure that she'll definitely let it be known if and when she does

And yes, Rabbit, as the fur has come in on her head it has already covered the three small ones she has there
Her daddy is of course a rabbit--I've always had a weak spot for those

Buttercup, your daughter is so cute! I love the dress, too :-) Silly, thanks for the info, it is so great to come here and get answers (illustrated, no less!).

I want to think of baby names for Escapee but my mind is blank....If you like Lauren, would you like Lorna or Lara? Or if you like Allen, would you like Alain or something like Nolan, Noland, etc?

I haven't thought about baby names for a while since I still have the name thought up for possible boy baby #3 (when/if we have #3). I need to think of a possible girl #3 name but girl names are harder for me to put together. I love thinking about names, though! I get all giddy...

In other news, Ada is 6 months old today, so I should get some baby cereal this week....Eek. :-)

Hope everyone is doing well...

Lorna----remember Lorna Doone Cookies!?! LOL.

Allan would be after a relative and have the same initials as daddy and Lauren would go so well with DD's name, that is why I like them. I also like Emily Danielle, Lauren Angela, Justin James, Nathan Jacob, Aron David, Andrea Christine (initials would be ACE), among others that DH hates

Well, I think Lorna Doone was a book before it was a cookie-- But I've never eaten (or read) either of them! :-) I don't even know they're good! I just always thought the name was nice (minus the Doone part)....

What names *does* DH like?

Oh we love the Lorna Doone cookies in this home. They are actually called our "road trip" cookies. Anytime we have a road trip to go on we pick some up-we don't eat them any other time. The kidlets think they are great "special" cookies.

Anyhoot, Escappe...you know my favorites!
Emma, Shilah and Dakota.

Since I doubt I will have any more kids I won't cry if you steal one of my favorites!

My sis named one of her twins Lauren and it's very nice.

Kimmo - Ada is so cute. Feeding solids is fun. Starr hated cereal at first but now loves it, and is eating fruits and vegetables and tons and tons of cheerios (feeding herself). She's 8 mths old today and such a sweet baby... Here's a funny pic of Nate and Starr.
