Well, are we?

Has the sickness abated?
Are our locks shiny and luscious?
Are our nails long and strong?
Are we back on form in the 'ahem' bedroom?

No? Well we soon will be ladies it's The second Trimester*

Well my baby girl with grey hair will be born at night, but it will be light outside!....hmmm I have already had a gender scan & im having a boy!....All good fun!....

Madame Zaritska, using her mystical powers, has the following prediction:

The day you deliver, outside will be windy. Your baby will arrive in the late evening. After a labor lasting approximately 13 hours, your child, a girl, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 5 pounds, 13 ounces, and will be 16 inches long. This child will have medium gray eyes and a lot of red hair.

Ummmm red hair unlikely, a bit low in weight but I do think it's a girl.

As for names we only have one boys name, Edward and one girls name, Caitlin. For a middle name it will probably be Allan for a boy I don't particularly like it but it's DH's dad's name & my dad's middle name. No idea for a girls middle name.

The day you deliver, outside will be stormy. Your baby will arrive in the middle of the night. After a labor lasting approximately 14 hours, your child, a girl, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 10 pounds, 1 ounces, and will be 17-1/2 inches long. This child will have dark blue eyes and a little patch of black hair.

Well that's probably the shortest baby of the lot then as for ten pounds - DD was 7,2 so probably not going to happen.

Xavielli I have an Aoife already - love the name. Had to write it phonetically for quite a few of the ENglish side of the family though - and the Australians. Grin

This time around we are going with Saoirse (Jane/May/Grace) not really sure on the middle name yet. For a boy we were going with Noah Daniel, but DH has thrown Oliver James into the hat so we'll see.

DD was 1 today so I had the day off work. We went shopping and I got 2 pairs of mat trousers and two jumpers as I am starting to burst out of my clothes show. We are having the in laws over next weekend for a party but she got her presents and we had a lovely day inthe garden.

Right it's past my bedtime [yawn] hope you are all keeping well

BillComptonstrousers · 26/08/2011 21:52

God my names are boring!

It's been really hard to agree on a name we both like, so ATM we are stuck with James or Lawrence, or lucy or a girl.

I'd love something like Kitty or Araminta or Florence or noah, but DH is pulling faces at any non-traditional names.

I suppose it has to go with the other two boring names I've already got Grin

The day you deliver, outside will be light. Your baby will arrive in the middle of the night. After a labor lasting approximately 13 hours, your child, a boy, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 6 pounds, 6 ounces, and will be 20 inches long. This child will have medium brown eyes and a lot of red hair.

I think Adam is a great name, I woul not expect it neccessarily to be for a first born son.

Thanks Madame Zaritska

The day you deliver, outside will be bright. Your baby will arrive in the late morning. After a labor lasting approximately 18 hours, your child, a girl, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 9 pounds, 10 ounces, and will be 21 inches long. This child will have light green eyes and fluffy blonde hair.

doubt it!!

Think i felt it move just now :). Happy Days. Very tired (had an evening out!!!) (this never happens in my life)

night night, sleep tight, don't let the bugs bite x

Emz33 · 27/08/2011 09:11

15 pounds 7 ounces! I really hope not!

Sugar80 · 27/08/2011 10:15

Right, I'm feeling motivated. Just ordered Davina's pregnancy workout as I can't do any of my trousers up, and am concerned that it's more bulge than bump!! Also ordered two bump bands, to hide the undone trousers! Managed yogurt, granola and raspberries for breakfast instead of my usual peanut butter on toast-fest... healthy eating for me from now on!!

13+6

louby86 · 27/08/2011 10:39

Wow Emz that's a big baby Grin

I think I felt the baby last night, not 100% sure though as it's my first! Definitely wasn't wind though Wink

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

phlossie · 27/08/2011 10:41

Don't worry too much sugar - I felt huge at 13 weeks, but it has calmed down a bit now - my bumps not much bigger. That said, I read a think for your pregnancy this week that said 'by now you will have gain 5lbs or as much as 10lbs' - er, try 17lbs!

phlossie · 27/08/2011 10:41

thta's for 16 weeks btw

Crazybit · 27/08/2011 13:38

Hi ladies.

Just wondering if any of you have had braxton hicks yet? I started getting them last night and they're still going! Don't wanna ring mw in case she sends me anywhere as we'rre waiting for my brother and family and my mum and they've not been to my new house yet.

Am wondering if it's excitement though as it's my 30th birthday today and OH has got me a voucher for a 4 day break in Mexico!!!! So excited, although we're going to wait until the baby is born, but still, am so happy with it, plus a spa day too. I've been truely spoilt Grin

Crazybit · 27/08/2011 13:38

ps am 14+6

PamBeesly · 27/08/2011 14:41

Crazybit · 27/08/2011 14:58

PamBeesly · 27/08/2011 15:05

louby86 · 27/08/2011 16:04

Happy birthday crazybit!!!! Have a lovely day! Hope the MW reassures you quickly so you can enjoy your day to the fullest!

Crazybit · 27/08/2011 16:20

Thanks Pam and louby. Mw said take paracetamol and ring gp if I start bleeding. It's very strange that it has carried on, trying to relax but not letting up. I really hope it doesnt happen all the way through, tis pretty tiring!

PamBeesly · 27/08/2011 16:22

Just rest as much as you can and enjoy being spoiled!

BillComptonstrousers · 27/08/2011 20:51
