New Thread before the old one fills up.

I think I have mine set in stone.
Elizabeth.

That's nice, do you have a shorter name to call her or will you use full?

oh yeah sorry lol

well my girls are Scarlette and Isabella and we have chosen Carter for this little man

i love dexter!

I love Dexter too and will never get to use it

I like Carter, also Crispin and Cassius/Caspian

i don't think i will believe that this is a boy until he arrives! seems to good to be true we never have good luck lol

how have things been anyway as you're here! lol

I want Catherine but DH isn't sure. With Katie or Kitty for short.

DS is Alexander and I think they go really nicely together.

Elizabeth may be on our list too

I had 2 boys and then Millie, when she was born we just wrapped her up ready to feed and the MW suggested we should check she wasa she....my heart has never beat so fast

I seriously cannot believe i have managed to have 2 lots of 2

I'm doing ok thanks, getting excited about baby, pushchair, etc. Mimi is being a darling at mo as well, boys at school again and things seem ok

Very traditional names for ur dds, compared to me . I find naming them quite hard.

DH only likes traditional names.

I also liked Freya, Isobel and Madison but he said No

glad you are getting back in to a routine!
i would say its easier when they are back at school but lette is only half days except thurs so you get the constant coming and going lol

i like kitty

WooHoo!! Finally found the December group.

I am 27+5 weeks pregnant with my first and I'm due 09th Dec 09.

Been okay really throughout pg so far. Have enjoyed the pg so far, nothing much to report. Baby is doing well, somersaulting all day and night as well! Think I've been getting a few braxton hicks...well something like that anyway.

Good luck ladies I look forward to sharing stories etc

hi kelly welcome along the bumpy ride with us all

Hi Kelly, congrats on your pregnancy.

Has anyone got or does anyone know of a doll thats good to get a toddler used to holding a baby? DS has a toy pushchair but at the moment he runs around with it at full speed. I've been reading and it sounds like a good idea but all the dolls I can find are pink and aimed at girls!

hello all. hope you all had a good weekend. have felt baby move several times today, but not quite as much as ususal. do you think she is just having a quiet day?! or is it something to be worried about? has been definite movement, just not quite as pronounced.
still not definite on the name. i still like perdita/purdy, DH still is wrestling with the 'pervy' thing..... i still like it and hope that i win the battle, as he has no good suggestions!!

Bex - dd2 moves less if i'm busy, or tired.

Millie - I know ELC do a doll that is a boy

here

OMG!! The link worked - that's a first!!

Thanks scorps think i am worrying over nothing, as she is moving about, just not crazily like she was the other night! hope you are ok.

same here bex hes more quiet today i think if you count 10 movements throughout day thats what they aim for as guide (or it used to be! lol)

Yup ELC do Baby Max which is currently £35 with a free highchair, but that offer will be ending soon and we'll be selling just the doll for £25.
We also do giggling luke for £16 and 1st baby doll for £8 (those latter 2 are full priced so if you could find a voucher you could get 20% off the price)
My DS has just the cheapo one and that seems just the right size for him to hold (he's 2 and a half)

Scorps I am quite liking Lizzie for short. But if she's anything like DS she'll get called all manner of weird and wonderful nicknames.

We have some weird nicknames in this house too - DS is quite regularly "Boing"!

I bought him a little blue doll from The Entertainer for £8. They're online too here

He has the ELC blue pushchair too.

He loves him. It's so sweet to see him cuddling the doll.

Swimming instructor asked me if DS was OK about bump yesterday when he wouldn't join in the lesson (he usually loves it) I've not been worried up until now cause he's seemed fine - talks about his baby sister etc - but I can't get it out of my head now. It might be that he's just a bit upset cause I spent all morning telling him off for messing with the cockatiel we're holiday sitting (but that's another story) - I hope so. I don't want him to feel pushed out.

Its a worry for me too snitch. When DS was born we were really worried about the dog being jealous of him so we really lavished attention on the dog and then DS ended up acting really jealous towards the dog!! You cant win!

Hi Bex, I was a bit worried last week cos I had two days of reduced movement. I'd just decided to go and see the midwife when baby did a huge somersault and has been kicking like crazy ever since. I think their movements might be less strong when they're facing the other way.

I had a horrid night last night, I woke up at 1am and kept getting a horrid acid taste in my mouth. I felt like I was going to be sick. I guess it was like an acid indigestion thing. Has anybody had any experience of this?

Morning ladies, i have a mw appt in a bit, been feeling unwell all night, achey bump, sick, headache, anyway, got to work for 8am, got one of the dentists to check my BP and its very high, 164/110 was the highest checked it a few times to be sure and it did vary but couldnt get it below 156/95, Checked it on other members of staff too to make sure it was working ok, and its accurate.
Im terrified ive got PE but didnt have it with my other pregnancy, BP was textbook all the way through with that one, as it has so far with this one, usually 110/65.
Fingers crossed for me please, im really worried. Be back later.
