Hello, hope everyone had a good weekend. We finally made it down to my parents, which was nice as our intended trip a couple of weeks ago had to be cancelled due to the snow.
Twirlie really pleased to hear your feeling better and your backache didn't come to anything.
To join in on the name conversation, we had our boy's name sorted before we'd even conceived, and both still love it now it's becoming more of a reality, and have also settled on a middle name. We intend to find out the gender at the 20 week scan on 4th March, so if it is a boy we don't need to have any more name conversations, which would be both a relief and a bit of a shame, as it is quite an exciting part of getting ready for your baby's arrival, I think.
As for girls' names, that's proving much trickier, although I did use the two hour car journey this afternoon to pin DH down on the subject and we've managed to find two we both quite like. I was raised in the UK but as my mum is half Dutch and half Swedish it would be quite nice to have something that works in other European languages. I think Anna is a brilliant one for that, but as it's already my mum and my SIL's name it would probably be a bit much to have another one in the family, so would probably end up as a middle name.
In bump news, I think I look a bit pregnant, and so does DH (well at least when he sees me in my birthday suit
) but to anyone that doesn't know me and my usual body shape well, I just look like I have a bit of a post-Christmas tummy. I've outgrown my jeans now, and a couple of skirts, but other than that I'm mostly in my normal clothes still, and having serious "bump-envy" with other pregnant-and-blooming-looking ladies!
