Baby girl names! Big sis/lil sis

I have a little girl, Magnolia, and am pregnant with another girl due October. We want to have 1 more child after this one. Here’s our name options:

Elowyn (Ellie) - it means elm tree, nature theme
Violet - nature theme
Marigold (Mari/Goldie)- nature theme & M initials
Charlotte (Charlie) - southern belle theme
Murphy - M initials & from Interstellar
Maisie - M initials

I don’t know what theme I want yet, husband’s preference is Elowyn. I feel like if we didn’t use Marigold, it would be a missed opportunity because of the M’s and because that is the birth flower of her month - but with that being said, is it too similar to Magnolia?

I don’t know which name I love best from the list, so pls help with ur opinions!!

Elowyn or Violet would be my choice. I think Elowyn is particularly beautiful and has some great nicknames. I mean Winnie is so so sweet.

Marigold is also lovely, but it's very similar to Magnolia. Probably a bit too much for me, I would middle name that one personally if it's her birth flower.

I'm just not a fan of Murphy, it's along the lines of names like Beckham, Anniston etc in my opinion. It's too obviously based on a character / celeb.

Should I be worried?

My little girl is 5 months and isn't rolling yet. Should I be worried?

She went through a small phase where she rolled a few times (tummy to back) for like 3 or 4 consecutive days and then she started teething and stopped rolling. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm not putting any pressure on her as I know every baby grows at their own pace but Should I be worried?

C-section..

Anyone else feel like some people minimise or don’t appreciate how hard a C-section is?
I have 2 friends who both had vaginal births one that said to me “I wish I’d just got a C-section” like it’s super easy? (She gave birth the day before me and she knows I had one) She’s said a few other things as well and I did once say “but you haven’t had a C-section” because she was basically insinuating that it’s easier
The other one when I was talking about maybe going for a VBAC said “as someone who had a natural birth, I’d just get the C-section”

I find it odd as this is coming from people who haven’t had one and know nothing about the experience? I’d never say vaginal is easy because I haven’t done it myself so I think it would be an ignorant thing to say
It just makes me feel really shitty because I really struggled after my C-section, my recovery was pretty rough but no one even asks or tries to understand before assuming it’s just easy

Lump in thigh.

My 3 month old had her second lot of vaccines on 22nd and has developed a massive hard lump where the injection was. She is refusing to bend her leg unless it’s of her own will.

Anyone else have this with their baby? Should I be concerned? Google said a pea size lump is normal but this is bigger than a pee.

Am I a bad mum?

Fully in the depths of teething, separation phase, learning new skills and tricks, sleep a little all over the place… I really need a few hours to myself but I feel bad for even saying it. Been awake since 3:50am and little one has only just gone back to sleep but now I’m awake and can’t stop crying. This week has been hard!! Can’t help but feel like the worst mum for wanting a few hours away from my baby and partner tbh…
All I can honestly say is W T F is this 9 month phase 😒

Sore hips

Does anyone have any advice on sleeping on your side? I’m struggling every night with such intense pain on both my hips when I try and sleep on my side! I’m alright walking around but soon as I’m on my side it’s just so much pain. I’ve tried a few different maternity pillows in different shapes to try and help but not found anything yet and it’s stopping me sleeping at the moment x

Growth Scans 29 weeks

I’ve recently been to see my midwife for a growth check on bump and they’ve marked it as a Red Cross, I am only 29 weeks with my first but they are saying he is 0.1mm too small 🥴 and breech so I’m now having an emergency scan on Monday has anyone else experienced this? Should I be concerned or planning a planned c section…
