Hello all,
Had my first grrr moment re the baby's sex today: term is finished for me, but I had some photocopying to do, so I breezed into College, and bumped into a couple of people I haven't seen in a while. I am now VERY obviously pregnant, so they gushed about that for a bit, then I said, 'Oh, and we heard yesterday that it's another boy!' whereapon one of the women put on a sympathetic face and said, 'How do you feel about that?' Am also cross with self, because I said that I was hoping the boys would be mates, being just over the two years apart, and that it would be miles cheaper and so on, whereas I should have just said (apart from the obvious! ), 'Delighted, thanks.' I sounded as though I was having to find reasons to be cheerful...
Someone (bubblez, I think) asked yesterday what kind of names I like, as the name thing is the ONLY disadvantage of having another boy. I like literary names, ones with literary associations, for first names and then 'after' RL people for the middle names. Unfortunately (and I hope this doesn't offend anyone here!) that means that bean's first middle name is going to be...Kenneth. So I need something very, very nice indeed as an actual first name. Second middle name will probably be Chad, btw.
