no...we struggled to come up with DS's and, since he was early, it was the only one we had .

NatalieJane · 27/01/2008 11:55

Awwww Bless him

Have you got any names in mind? We really need a rolling eyes emoticon!

Teuch · 27/01/2008 11:49

2 a few weeks ago . He makes EVERYBODY broody [proud emoticon]

NatalieJane · 27/01/2008 11:44

Awww how old is he?

Fingers crossed AF stays away.....

gather round, symptom-spotters! No AF yet but definitely feels imminent and CP low-ish and hard . I guess I will know either way as either AF or HPT's will arrive tomorrow at latest!!

NatalieJane · 27/01/2008 10:36

Yep, deffo agree, was a hugeeeeeee shock to the system, one to two was so easy, hardly even noticed he was here!

Diege · 27/01/2008 10:34

Agree NJ, the nodding and smiling technique tends to work best for these things I find. A massive negative reaction always provokes them, the poor dears...
I don't know about anyone else, but the biggest leap for me was going from none to one (not to put off those ttc no.1!)

NatalieJane · 27/01/2008 10:21

TWINS [shcok]

No I can see how adding another in the mix doesn't seem such a leap! DH has already declared he is going to go for the snip once this baby is here, I agreed and nodded and made the right noises, but we'll see!!!

Diege · 27/01/2008 10:19

YES it's alright!!! (as far as I can tell...)Glad to see I'm not the only April person! Lol at 4 children fear; when you get your 3rd, the 4th doesn't seem that much more work I can tell you (life gone anyway...they outnumber you and dh/dp...)A friend of mine from my mumsnet postnatal group (still going stong after 2+ years) was going for no.4 and got pregnant with twins, due this July !!)

Now this time when I ask if it is all right, will someone answer me please!!!!

Is it all right? ........

NatalieJane · 27/01/2008 09:56

Morning all

4 kids????????

OMG, Just realised I went to update the list for Georgdie, and I somehow managed to leave you off it.... Sure I remember putting your details on I must be going mad, so sorry, I will do it as soon as I have finished

Well my DH is at the moment in Scotland, doing a job, he is on call this weekend, that normally means going to Manchester or something but bloody Scotland? He is abroad!!! So I have the whole day to keep the kids busy so I can MN again

Right off to do the list

Diege · 27/01/2008 09:46

Morning! GEORDIE, I do like Seth I must admit, and also Aled (I'm Welsh ) Dare I say Bryn is becoming very common in Wales (like 'Seren') but hasn't quite got that 'chav-ish' label ! I think I'll have 4 girls myself; tbh, if I had a boy this time I'd be tempted to have another so that he wouldn't be the only boy (a 'little prince') but then I could be trying forever! Really like the idea of four girls, though think dh would be a little overwhelmed!
Hope everyone is having good weekends! Agree, Feb seems very close which means just 2 months left for me of non-obsessing over (non-existant) symptoms

Welcome GEORDIE to our little group . Love your names (v.good taste there with Scarlett, my dd2 , my other dds are called Jasmine (dd1) and Liberty (dd3). If we had another girl, it would be 'Mathilda', or a boy Louis (pronounced Louie). Think I only do girls though . I also like Tabitha (no one else does.
Good luck TEUCH! Lots of CM is a GOOD SIGN . As NJ says, please indulge us with your symptoms!

NatalieJane · 26/01/2008 16:16

I just wrote more about names didn't i? Sorry

NatalieJane · 26/01/2008 16:16

Oh, and obivously we are desitined to have another boy, I can't think of a single girls name that I like.

Though we had Maia picked for if DS2 was a girl.....

NatalieJane · 26/01/2008 16:14

Seth and Aled are my names, DH says Seth is an old man's name, (because obviously they were all born old ) and Aled is too Welsh apparently!

We already have a Thomas and a George so I don't think sticking a Haydon in the mix would work somehow!

And our last name is Oliver, so it has to be something very man-ish or it will sound crap.

And on top of all that because the last initial is O, we can't have anything starting with loads of letters, anyone fancy having the intials BO, no?? How about FO?? Me neither!!

OMG, can not believe I have just managed to write all of that about choosing a name for a baby we haven't even started trying for

Is that all right? Feel free to fill in missing info

NatalieJane · 26/01/2008 15:53

Hi and welcome Geordie

We need that list updating...

I had the injection up until we TTC'd for DS1. They say it can take up to 18 months for fertility to return to normal, took us 6 months so not too bad, but either way that should be well out of your system by now. I don't now anything at all about the implant, but I am sure someone on MN will know if you have any questions about it.

C'mon then, indulge us all, what's your names?

I have boys name(s), and a buggy picked out already DH doesn't like the names, yet, but he will, if he knows what's good for him

Right will try and sort list out....

Oooooo it's started, Symptom Spotters 'R' Us from here on in girlies

Stop making excuses for the symptoms, we don't want to hear them

How many times have you been for a wee today?

(Very for you on the wine front, I don't know how you managed!!! )

Teuch · 26/01/2008 14:13

Okaaayyyy! Couldn't manage more than a glass of wine last night .

CP high, CM aplenty, very crampy (but not today), knackered (more to do with night wakening from DS!) and on-off nausea (I think from tiredness).

I have a suspicion I OV'd late though, and AF perhaps not due until next weekend...

NatalieJane · 26/01/2008 12:21

Meant to say as well, I ordered some of those cheap tests on eBay, they were delivered the next day, as in the Wednesday after the Tuesday, not the Tuesday after the Thursday!

NatalieJane · 26/01/2008 12:19

Oh Tuech are ou not going to indulge us all in your symptoms?

Go on, y'know you want to

Seriously, tell me everything LOL
