5th thread!

Going by the pace of ‘Thread #4’, this could the last one as we might all have our babies by the time it runs out. Unless we all give detailed commentary during labour Grin.

glitter did you really! how lovely, yes it really is beautiful I'd love to go back again one day but can't imagine ever being able to go on holiday ever again GrinGrin (practically and financially)

butterfly that's a gorgeous name, I'm loving all the traditions! Ours is no secret either, I've told everyone Grin

Flappergirl86 · 23/06/2017 17:33

Aww there's some beautiful names flying around! You ladies have exquisite taste. Especially rhodes Grin

I liked Cerys as well glitters but bf wouldn't have it so we've settled on Nerys for a middle name! X

glitterglitters · 23/06/2017 17:41

Ooh I like Nerys!

Cerys was the only one we could agree on! Though we both love it Grin

I wanted something French initially and he wanted BlodwenGrin

wildone81 · 23/06/2017 18:36

Being kept in another night...BP just won't settle down and still got protein in my pee 😡 various people now have bets on babywildone arriving before next Monday's (3rd July) planned section....

Loving all the names 😊 we've settled on Zachery for a boy, but will use Zack unless he's in bother, and either Emily or Abigail for a girl

glitterglitters · 23/06/2017 19:09

Hope everything calms down @wildone81 thinking of you.

I love the names you've picked as well ❤️❤️❤️

Seahawk80 · 23/06/2017 19:31

Love all the names! @glitterglitters I loved Ramona but DH wasn't keen. I've come out with DH tonight to one of those street food market places but not really feeling it - last year we came but I think the frozen margaritas made it more fun!

glitterglitters · 23/06/2017 19:37

I bloody love frozen margaritas! My favourite!! GrinGrinGrin

rhodes2015 · 23/06/2017 19:45

glitter your middle names are really original!! Love them. Cerys is beautiful!!

Zack is really cute wildone my friends little boy is called that and Emily was on our list for girls, really pretty and timeless! Hope all calms down for you x

nat2311 · 23/06/2017 19:45

@wildone81 hope you have an ok night!

Love all the names! Makes me want to decide now but I still have no idea!

Spindelina · 23/06/2017 19:45

Gah. Having said we'd got a front runner name... I've been coming round to DH's favourite. Now it turns out he's been coming round to mine too! Going to have to wait and see.

glitterglitters · 23/06/2017 19:48

If it helps anybody to reassure them, we weren't sure and then the minute I held dd1 the midwife asked if we had a name and I just blurted it out.

Dh was too chuffed/impressed/horrified by what he had just seen and said I could have called her Princess Consuela Banana Hammock at that point and he would have agreed GrinGrinGrin

Spindelina · 23/06/2017 19:58

Go and vote on my shiny new thread in the baby names section! Name changed, but it should be pretty obvious.

Seahawk80 · 23/06/2017 20:06

Ha ha @glitterglitters my sister says if you want to get your own way with a name go in straight after the birth!

ButterflyFree · 23/06/2017 20:31

I'm so impressed by everyone's delectable taste in names! @glitterglitters Cerys Astoria and Travis or Caleb Hudson are such fabulous options, and I already loved your DD's name. I'll have to invite you for tea at The Astoria in DH's hometown Ras Al Khaimah if you have a girl 🎀

Just waiting to hear what @Notyetthere's little princess has been called 😍💕

Nerys is lovely and unusual @Flappergirl86 and I'm a big fan of your Zack and Emily/Abigail options @wildone81 . Fingers crossed for you that your BP calms down soon.

Mama Butterfly and I went to Peter Jones tonight and ticked a lot off my 'to buy' list; she'd been pestering me to go baby shopping with her for ages as I did everything with DH before. Great shout on the sale @Flappergirl86 and @Mawita - picked up ALL this for a grand total of £220!

🙄🤷🏼‍♀️ apologies for the bold fail

glitterglitters · 23/06/2017 20:59

Ooooh good stash! That bath support comes very recommended and the Gro Egg I found super reassuring. Love love love the little outfits. ❤️❤️❤️

That sounds sooo lovely @ButterflyFree! SmileCake

Dh and I are obsessed with NYC and my best friend and I spent many a fun night at The Astoria (RIP!) on Tottenham Court Road. Some of my best memories in fact.

Same goes for Hudson, with the Hudson River but also it's quite a strong name in itself. Where we live is a bit.... masculine dominated (lol a bit rough and ready in reality) so we've had to really think about boys names. I think naming boys is soooo much harder though 🙈

What's everybody up to tonight? I'm binge watching The Handmaid's Tale which I'm not 100% certain was a sensible option. I was going to do it sat on my ball but it's giving me horrendous aches in my pelvis so have retired to the sofa for now.

Looks like we'll probably need a new thread soon.

glitterglitters · 23/06/2017 21:00

Oh wow that hotel is beautiful!!!

Twixes · 23/06/2017 21:03

wow girls so much activity on the thread!

Fantastic news @notyetthere! congratulations on your little baby girl, I hope you're enjoying every minute of your newborn baby snuggles!

@wildone81 argh to having protein in your wee, but if I was betting woman (which I can be from time to time), I would agree with those who think baby will be here before the 3rd!

I'm absolutely loving all this baby name talk and I adore all the choices. Particularly Cerys and Astrid which were both on my list but vetoed by DH who said Cerys would be odd as we're not Welsh (?!) and he just didn't like Astrid.

I called into my sister last night and it was totally fine! When I started to tell her why I was there she said...'it's not Rose is it...?' which it's not! I told her my choice and she loved the name and said I was very thoughtful to call out but was in no way out of sorts by our choice. And there's no way she was faking as I can read her like a book and she's useless at hiding her emotions Grin She loved the name, as did her fiance which was also nice to hear. She's been sworn to secrecy til the 5th July and I won't post our name here until then...just in case!

@LuciBee231015 sweeps are yucky, but in my experience, the yuckier/more painful = the more effective! I had three with DS and the second was done at 8am on the morning I was to be induced and it started regular Braxton Hicks, then the second one later that night broke my waters and put me into full blown labour!

@glitterglitters I would agree on the further away hospital. It sounds a much better set up and with lovely family connections attached it seems a no brainer. You're so lucky FIL is so involved, it'll be lovely peace of mind when you're busy getting no 2 out!

Currently lying on our bed mumnetting while DH assembles a new chest of drawers. I think he sees flat pack as a large LEGO project...rather him than me!

HaichM · 23/06/2017 21:07

Lovely names everyone. We also have Emily as an option for a girl along with Hannah and Jacob or Ciaran for a boy. Middle names are all family related. Elizabeth if Hannah (mine and my mum's) and Margaret for Emily (DHs grandma). Boys are Eamon for Jacob (DHs dad) and Sean for Ciaran (uncle who died of cancer a few years ago).

Tonight I plan to eat eclairs and do very little. We've been out shopping and not been home long. Had lots of bh while out which made the whole thing extra fun.

Wildone: hope things settle soon

glitterglitters · 23/06/2017 21:17

Ah that's so wonderful the conversation with your sister went well @Twixes I bet that's a massive weight off your mind Smile

I'm still in shock that dh agreed with some of the names. Tbh though any conversation with him usually descended into childish chaos with suggestion such as:

La'Squisha
LeBron
Clem
Gennedy
Basically any name involving a boxer
Margarine

Hmm

He's an interesting one.

Oooh eclairs!!!! I was looking on Instagram earlier at an eclair shop in London. I was pretending it was research for work but I was just looking at food porn Blush

nat2311 · 23/06/2017 21:17

Yeah I'm struggling to keep up with all the posts today! It's been to exciting with all the baby news! 😂

@Twixes I'm glad the chat with your sister went well - you must feel relieved now.

@glitterglitters I'm a die hard greys anatomy fan Blush currently back watching series 2 working my way through again. OH thinks I'm ridiculous for watching again but I just love it!

Twixes · 23/06/2017 21:46

Thanks girls, yes a massive relief! I've been in such great form since as it was like a niggly cloud over my head.

Serious Eclair Envy over here...

Flappergirl86 · 23/06/2017 21:59

I love that retail therapy is guilt free when it's for your unborn child! Good stash butterfly!

Hope everyone's ailments either stop or come up with the goods soon. This last month is so uncomfortable. I just want to be able to sit down without making guttural groans! Xx

glitterglitters · 23/06/2017 22:26

Sent this to my friend the other day. It's quite apt.
