Scheduled a date and picked a name

stacia · **Scheduled a date and picked a name**

Just giving an update on my #4.

We scheduled my C-section for August 28th, that will be early at 36 weeks b/c of my very thin uterus so we expect the baby to be in the NICU for around a week for her lungs but you never know! My last dd was also born early at 38 weeks and she was my biggest at 8 pounds and perfectly healthy.

We changed our name 3 times, but I think we are settled on Jaime for sure now. We didn't originally want it b/c it's my dh's cousins name but it fits much better with our other kids names than all our other options did. (All 5 letter J names)

For a middle name we are torn b/w
Emeline
Emelia
Emerson (this is my fav but my dh thinks it's too masculine)
Our other dd's middle names are Elizabeth and Eleanor so Emeline fits very well with those for classic names.

I'll put a poll up soon so you guys can give me your vote!

There is a good chance the baby wont be in Nicu cause there lungs can be fully delevoped at 36 weeks. I had Noah at 37 weeks and he was fine. I had to have a c-section as well. Did they give you the option of getting an amniocentsis to see if the lungs are mature enough? Thats what I had to do. I didnt really have a choice lol. I got one (well two cause noah pushed out the needle) at 36 weeks and they weren't fully delevoped yet so I had to wait a week! Good luck Hun.

I doubt she will need the NICU. My dr told me that it was safe to have the boys at 36 weeks. I was taken off all medication at that point with 3 of them. They were all born just fine at 36 weeks. My other son did not make it that far and was born at 35 weeks and still did not need the NICU. He was 5lbs 8oz but was pretty healthy.
