Nope, still no final decision on the name. We have about 3 1/2 months to keep thinking though, so hopefully it might happen. Dazza suggested Aaron the other day which i don't hate, but I still prefer Max. One of the kids suggested Zach which i actually quite like too, so we'll give that one a bit more thought.

I hope you're lucky soon with the whole conception process Radar. It's so heartbreaking when it takes so long and you start to think there's something wrong with you or your partner or both. So good luck (although maybe you don't need any luck from the sounds of things. lol)

I had another scan yesterday. It turns out our boy has a face, so that's a relief. *whew*

Doc said that if he keeps growing at the same rate, he'll be at least 8.5lb's. That's bigger than my other two, and their father was Samoan! Anyway, anything can happen. Maybe he's just been hungry this last couple of months. lol Maybe that explains my weight loss. He's been sucking the life outta me.

Tomorrow I'm 28 weeks. That means only 12 weeks or so to go. I'm hoping for 8 or 10. I'm so over being pregnant.

We've come up with a couple of names besides Max to think about.

Cooper and Oscar. I prefer Oscar but Dazza likes Cooper. I still prefer Max most of all though. I guess we'll see how we go till then.

SteveDallas · 01-05-2009, 03:56 PM

Wait ... Max? From Australia??

classicman · 01-05-2009, 04:00 PM

MAXimus! I like it the best too. Oscar just reminds me of hot dogs.

Well, I'm sure he'll get that now and then, but I think most Aussies don't think about Mad Max as much as the average US citizen. Honestly. lol

Congrats lady. You are almost over the hump in 4 to 6 weeks you will be safe. I wish you the best and a healthy last trimester. Hang in there it will be over before you know it and the pay off will be huge. You can do it.

Aliantha · 01-05-2009, 04:50 PM

Thanks matey.

I'll be glad when it's over and I can get down to doing what I think I'm best at.

The last Trimester was my favorite... naps were plentiful, food tasted good again, could feel lots of baby activity, Flint gave me massages and pedicures... those were good times. Enjoy them.. trust me... it may seem like it is lasting forever, but once its all over you'll miss this time.

Aliantha · 01-05-2009, 05:24 PM

Actually, about food, I've regained my appetite somewhat over the last week or so. Unfortunately, I don't have room for much though. lol

I go to a professional for a pedicure. I think Dazza would chop my toes off. He's not good with sharp objects.

I'm just sick of being so F.A.T.!

Aliantha · 01-07-2009, 04:22 PM

On Tuesday I had the 'Glucose tollerance test'. They give you a very sweet drink then do a blood test to see how your body is processing sugars.

Unfortunately mine has come back high, which could indicate gestational diabetes so I have to go take the test again but it's a bit more involved second time around.

I know that this sometimes happens to women during pregnancy and it's often/usually nothing that the woman has done wrong. Generally it's just the hormones being out of whack, but it still upsets me to think that my baby could be at risk.

I hope the second test provides a better result. I will never forgive myself if something happens to our baby.
