Hi Playing!! How are you?

DS went for a nap so I decided to try and sort out his baby clothes but ended up fast asleep on the bed in a pile of clothes. I've woke up feeling really really sick.

On the swearing front(well kinda) DS says Mugga Bugga for Makka Pakka from In The Night Garden. Its really quite cute but MIL hates it and says its all my fault.

Playingthe9monthwait · 10/10/2008 17:25

Hi Kay. I'm good, more importantly how are you? its been ages!

kayzisexpecting · 10/10/2008 17:30

I'm ok, just tired all the time. It has been far too long!!!

I'm really really struggling with names. I've only got 9 weeks to try and choose something.

Playingthe9monthwait · 10/10/2008 17:33

9 weeks OMG that is so soon!!! I have a vague recolection that someone posted that you were having another little boy? Or did I make that up? Whats your short list or have you not got that far yet? Apparently I was 10 days old before I had a name as my Dad wouldn't even discuss it before I was born in case the name didn't suit me

kayzisexpecting · 10/10/2008 17:42

Yes I am having another boy. Well maybe, they can never say 100% but it looked like a boy at the scan.

Shortlist:
Dylan - Everyone thinks of the rabbit in Magic Roundabout
Toby - Lots of people think its a gay name and in Scotland is slang for penis!!!
Scott
Ryan
Ethan
Henry
Lucas
Noah
Oscar - I kinda think of it being a dogs name
Riley

Not so short though!!

Might just call him Ross Jnr

SesHasapinkline · 10/10/2008 17:46

Hi!
Diege - I went and saw GP at about 5 weeks. Cried my eyes out when I told her as just feel felt so scared.
I've asked DH to delay our house warming til after 12 week scan as I know he'll want to tell everyone and I just can't yet. Almost as if, if I don't tell RL people, it's not quite real and that mat reduce my worry and, yes, that feeling of letting people down. See we're all as mad as eachother!

Playing - I know exactly what you mean about finding out sex being like opening Christmas present early. On the other hand, it would be practical to know but then DH would never keep it secret! Oh the circles we go round!

Playingthe9monthwait · 10/10/2008 17:49

They're all nice names Kay. I do agree with your comments on Dylan and Oscar, had no idea that Toby was thought of as a gay name! TBH, with virtually all those names you can't go wrong, although I would say Noah is a bit too biblical for me, but thats just personal preference.

Right, I really need to go home now and try ans get rid of this headache!

Have a lovely weekend all and I will try and make more effort and remember to "pop in" next week!

SesHasapinkline · 10/10/2008 17:49

Hi Kay! FWIW they're all good names but I especially like Ethan, Ryan, Riley and Scott. Hope your 9 weeks doesn't drag and look forward to the first wagon baby

OP posts:
GYo · 10/10/2008 17:52

Im having exactly the same dilema playing.

Does feel like spoiling xmas but then its 50/50 either way!

Im sure we will decide on the day outside the scan room!

DH home now so going to pay him some attention

No doubt back on during the w/e

kayzisexpecting · 10/10/2008 17:53

I didn't know about Toby either until my friend said it last week.

DH doesn't really like Noah, my mum wants us to use Dylan, which I have to admit its my fave. MIL wants us to call him Alfie but we have a friend called Alfie and we both find it strange.

We were tempted by Archie too.

I can't believe I am going to have the first wagon baby!!!

Diege · 10/10/2008 18:12

Thanks very much girls It really, really helps me to share my worries, and I know I'm not the first person here, and on mumsnet in general, to be extremely anxious after a mc. I am feeling symptoms, getting stronger each day closer to af (though cramps getting less now, peaking Mon/wed this week). How I'm going to cope with this level of stress for 9 months (god willing) I don't know - and more to the point how will the wagon
SES, if no af and still bfp next Friday will make an appointment for following week (week 6). Our GP is awol, so will no doubt get the same locum as last time who didn't even look at me but just spoke into a dictaphone (like some arsey city-slicker type).
Names-wise KAY I love Dylan (there again I am Welsh ) I also like Toby but dh looks at me as if I'm mad if I suggest it! LOVE Archie. If this one sticks no doubt I will trawl out the boys names yet again (still 'Louie')and have a girl (Matilda I think).
Having a final push with the house/dds, then I have a lecture to look forward to writing that I should have done yesterday when at the hairdressers .
Will try and pop in later - and thanks again xx

kayzisexpecting · 10/10/2008 18:15

I hope everything will be ok Diege. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

I loved Louie until my mum rescued a dog a few weeks ago called Louie. He is as mad as a mad thing!!

Diege · 10/10/2008 18:19

Kay - our 'Louie' would be mad too

kayzisexpecting · 10/10/2008 18:21

Yeah ours would if DS is anything to go by.

Diege · 10/10/2008 18:22

kayzisexpecting · 10/10/2008 18:28

He is at the age where he thinks he can do anything and he is invincible. Some days I find myself spending all day stopping him from doing stuff that is likely to end in a trip to A&E.

tinkisgoingtohaveagirl · 10/10/2008 19:47

BBeingpatient · 11/10/2008 09:23

god why am i up so early? actually i know why...DP and i had a huge row last night, that included everything, how rubbish he is with money how lazy he can be....anyone else get sick of this shit? i mean i know he loves me but how can he keep screwing me over? men

BBeingpatient · 11/10/2008 09:34

can i ask you all something?

In the current economic climate, as a non house owner (renting), with a debt of own (loan) but no other real debts (occassionally into overdraft) and a reasonable job which pays quite well and which i cld keep after a baby possibly
AND
with dp who is in overdraft alot(but swears on life to be out of after christmas,and probably will be as chrimbo and bday = money) but who also has a credit card, and owes parents money (not big deal only a few hundred and obv intrest free not fussed on repayments) are we irresponsible to want a baby?
Do you think i can trust/rely on such a man to provide for us? he does have a gd job, and qualifies (which = payrise) shortly but i mean how do you all do it?

i do trust him but at the end of the day its what it comes down to isnt it? although i will have some savings, and he will continue to work (god willing touch wood and all that) and obviously maternity does include some pay, how do we as women put our faith in and our futures in the hand of persons who even at 22 have to be reminded to farkin wash???it just frustrates me, in a way i think once im pg it will be a wake up call to him, and i know he doesnt mean to annoy me, be lazy etc but i just cant help thinking of who would get left holding everything together.....

sorry this is soo long just needed to vent, feeling a bit meh atm.
