Bigfam on you thoughts about names, just go with what you love and don't worry about what others think! there will always be someone who dislikes the name you choose and someone who loves it. The child will always be fine with it no matter what. And on no accounts should you worry about people's prejudices about travllers! that's your little girl's roots and she should be proud of them (although I do undertsand your concerns, but personally I think that it's good for kids to be proud of and aware of their roots, it gives them a strong sense of identity) That said, if you're asking for opinions, I like Romany, then she can always shorten it to Romy herself : )
Peanutbutter I felt sooo scared before having DD! I panicked and thought I wouldn't know how to look after a newborn. But don't worry, once the baby is there, you will quickly get the hang of things, it will come to you naturally. Also, try to have support around you, family and friends around int he early days can be a big reassurance. Thta said, I am slightly starting to panick now second time around, worried about what it's going to be like to have two kids!! it's a big unknown.
Elodie I feel exactely the same, and I only have one child already! (DD is 2 next month). I have NOTHING at all prepared, not a shread of clothes, (this is a boy so can't reuse much) no bed, no double buggy, haven't dug out the baby toys, haven't planned exactely when my mum should come to be here for the birth to look after DD, no name decided...I just tell myself there's still three months to go, and I wil sort everything out once I'm off work a month before DD. he better not be early! But also kind of think like, what's the worst that could happen, if the baby was suddenly born tomorrow, well, so what, I'd quickly send DD shopping to get a few clothes, we have an old Moses basket lying around, and what else does the baby really need? Thankfully our boobs prepare themselves : ) I also feel that this baby wil be lucky in many ways because he will have a sibling immediately, and there's nothing kids like more than older kids! he will always be entertained, and will come into a family where the parents are more experienced and a lot calmer. The first time around we needed to do so much planning because we were newbies, and the first baby had to put up with all our newbiw mistakes ; )
