Graduated Elderberry Pavlovas - Thread 7

[Cavort]

Newly diffed right through to new Mums. A thread for the over 30's expecting their first baby.

Sorry for the moan but he really knows how to wind me up

Moaning is what we're here for and we all do our fair share of it! How much longer have you got to put up with it before you start ML?

In case you haven't noticed I am a champion moaner. It's fine, just vent blame hormones

Am I allowed to ask which girls names were on your lists or you considered? We are really struggling for girls names and could do with some help

Elodie and Amelie were our final two. Preferred them to our boys names

(Great choice cavort!)

hm don't even remember.. Eloise, Louisa, Elisa/Elise, Alexandra were some.

Charlotte, Catherine and Sophia were the others on our list

Hmm, I thought I still had my original list but it appears not. This is the edited verson once DH had been through it, crossed some off and added a few...

Amory
Thalia
Leila
Cady
Caitlin
Amber
Elodie
Eloise
Elise

I found trawling through Nameberry useful when I was looking.

Eloise, elouise, elodie and Amelie are all out for us due to friends and godchildren. Which is a shame as we love them.

Of course merk. If we had a little girl she was going to be Savanna Brooke...bit out their I know. I do love it though and am sad to not get to use it

I also liked
Ruby
Emerald (sounds a bit too much like Hemarriod though)

Carmella
Serena (wren for short)
Melissa (liss for short)
Lois
Lana

Oh actually you reminded me cav the only one apart from Savanna that we agreed on was Caitlin.

I think Thea is cute too. Who was it talking about Raven at one point? How did that not make it through?

We are also struggling for girl's names! We have one that we really like and are hoping no-one poaches it before D-day...and that it suits her (if it is a girl).

If the next one (if there is one) is a girl then she will probably be named Elise.
If you like other el-names, what about Elena?

Ahh it's so exciting having the names discussions. Although I remember bwing shocked at how much my and OH disagreed.

I am also at how much me and the husband disagree on names. We have very very different taste. Am stealing some of these suggestions for the list, thank you all!

My OH wanted Tiffany, Courtney or Taylor for a girl, needless to say we did not agree.

I lie it wasn't Taylor it was Tyler.

My brain is officially mush, I nearly drove past not one but two petrol stations on the way home even though I knew I needed petrol. Oh dear!

Unfortunately, due to lack of sleep the baby brain thing doesn't get better once you've actually given birth. Sorry!

I was worried you'd say that

I feel tired achey and generally feel poo.....but I just hoovered the downstairs then got down on my hands and knees and cleaned the kitchen floor and laminate too. What the hell is wrong with me!! I really do need to get a life!!

that's called nesting. Totally normal, you will find yourself cleaning things you have never felt the need to clean before.

I'm tempted to hoover or shave the animals, they are molting on my clean floor
