Due April 2009 - Saucy dreams, squirting boobs and spacehoppers. Whatever will the April mums get up to next?"

[PuzzleRocks]

Yes I like Gabriel but it is somehow rather difficult to say with our surname.

Oh, I kept getting that crap from DP. He has a massive family, whereas I (effectively, not technically, long story) only have one cousin. So every name was 'can't have that - my mum's uncle's stepdaughter's mother's cousin's cat's called that'. At least that's what it felt like.

See now I just get that means XX in Turkish, or that name is what XX people say in Turkey - I think I am going to get me a Turkish teacher who can tell me if he is lying!!

hehehe - cunning NuttyTaff. I like.

Nutty - that is great - maybe I will just agree to Caravan (I really must stop calling it that) until the birth(to stop us fighting!) and if it's a turn on the waterworks!

I have actually stopped discussing names with DH as it is too dispiriting. Going to wait until the final few weeks before raising the subject again.

DP's just arrived home & he's already annoying me. I've been in a really good mood all day, but he's spent far too many hours with his stupid boyfriends & now he's all One Of The Ladsing at me. I wish it'd be okay to make him stand in the naughty corner & calm down for a few minutes.

& remind me to never get on the wrong side of you, Nutty! I'd be terrified of what you'd come up with!

Struth! That's disgusting! (But so is using someone else's roll-on).

Yuck, you can't share roll-ons! Clever revenge, though.

okay sorry to interrupt the name discussion had my 20 week scan today and everything looks fine . We didn't ask to know the sex although my resolve might weaken by week 36 when I am scheduled for another scan (placenta is low).

Telling DD tonight. We have kept from her up to now as we felt it will be a long enough wait for her as it is - she is 3. However as most friends know about it and my tummy is getting bigger, ithink it is about time she knows she will soon have a baby brother or sister. Any suggestions on how the conversation should go?

By the way I like Maya and Marisa too

Glad everything's fine, purlease! It's so reassuring, isn't it?

& oh Nutty, how sweet! At least she's intending to share the toys!

Nutty - please feel free to keep going I need all the help I can get! So keep going please.

We both like Volkan but DH's very good friend is called that it was vetoed (Along with Nurullah, Ibo, Nuh andmany others!!) This is why despite my long-term desire to have a baby boy first, i am secretly hoping it is a girl so I can have a beautiful name! I quite like Levent but SH isn't so keen.

Purlease that is great! I would do something very similar to Nutty and ask whether she would like a little brother or sister to play with and see how you go from there - most little girls I know get obsessed by it and very protective - my very young cousin is already mothering my bump and when asked what she wants for Christmas says "nothing but the baby would like this" and has gone on to pick lots of toys / clothes / baby baths for my baby instead of anything for her (bless!!)

Brilliant stuff purlease. Glad everything good. Why don't you wait until you next see a baby somewhere. If not an actual baby then it could be a baby on tv, or even a picture of one somewhere - my DD kissed the baby on the back of Emma's Diary after we were given it, so I told her we were going to have a baby and I've been chatting about babies ever since. She's only 19 months though, so quite a bit younger and doesn't really get it. Looks at me like I have gone completely doolally when I tell her there is a baby in my tum-tum. I also bought her a v. cheap (£2) baby doll from Asda so she can cuddle it and chat to it (she took it to bed with her last night). I'm thinking of getting her a proper baby doll for Christmas so we can do stuff like feed it, change it's nappy, put it to bed, take it to the park in the pram etc etc.

Her best friend (one of them) has recently had a baby brother so I think she might quite like the idea - she seems to want everything else her friend has - request to Santa this year and last both based on what friend has.

Ah, do you think if I right to Santa and ask for a really chilled our lovely baby that comes out in an hour he will give that to me too?

that would be write not right!!

My hospital has signs asking us not to bring young children. Also says on one of the leaflets you get to avoid taking young children as they get in the sonographer's way.

I'm completely ignoring them - DD is coming along whatever they say! She may not understand what we are looking at, but I wouldn't want her to miss it.
