Thanks for the sympathy ladies. Am going to finish this cup of tea, stop feeling sorry for myself and do some pros and cons lists!!!

WW - a boy! Awwwwww!

Finally spoke to a (male) friend yesterday whose twins arrived 10 weeks early a couple of weeks ago. All fine though and one went home last night, the other one next week. Can't stop thinking about the tiny little things!

Ooh lots of lovely names there WW! My favourites are Austen, Edward, Theo and Tobias I think. (Really really like Austen!) But the others are good too.

bebejones · 01/07/2011 16:09

Ooooh lovely list of names WW!

My faves are Noah, Ruben, Rafe & Issac! But I like all of them really, and only didn't include Edward in my faves as I know 4. (I had a cat called Ruben when I was younger, and he was the most adorable creature, I love the name though...lots! :) I think Noah Issac sounds quite good as a combo as does Austen Edward, or Edward Austen. So maybe you could get a MN from your shortlist?

Quodlibet · 01/07/2011 16:49

I think all of those are lovely names - Tobias wouldn't be my favourite but I knew a funny one at school! I love Isaac, Rafe and Edward. Agree with Bebe, there's lots of possible MN combinations in there.

bebejones · 01/07/2011 17:58

I think that my least favourite is Titus but go with whatever you like & ignore everyone elses rude remarks. :)

minipie · 01/07/2011 18:41

Oh I like Ruben too, hadn't seen that one.

Agree about Titus, it's kinda asking for rude nicknames...

bebejones · 01/07/2011 19:36

Was going to say that & stopped myself...

100years · 01/07/2011 21:11

Hiya Ladies,

Not really got time to do a full catch up.

Good luck for the POAS SWI. :)

Put another pic up in my gallery of me taken today at 7 months! Have made it mumsnet mates only, and have hopefully added everyone, so if you can't see it, sorry, message me and I'll add you when I am on the computer next. :)

Hi all! Haven't caught up with the thread yet, but just wanted to let you know that Charlotte was born yesterday evening Grin she is just under 6lb and obviously the cutest baby around! Will try and post a pic soon!

ShaggingWithIntent · 02/07/2011 07:41

Wow. Congratulations Squirrel! How exciting for you all :)
Can't wait to see pictures of mini squirrel!!!

Well ladies I can confirm that I got a BFP!! It was actually yesterday morning but I wanted to tell DH before anybody else so had to tell a little fib about not POAS yesterday morning!!!

I'm ecstatic and he's very excited (if a little bit shocked that it happened "so fast") and I think he'd wrap me up in cotton wool if he could!!

ShaggingWithIntent · 02/07/2011 07:42

Great pics 100. That's a proper bump!!

bebejones · 02/07/2011 08:35

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!! Congratulations SWI!!!!!!!!! :o :o :o
Sooo EDD, Names, Nursery 'theme', Birth Plan?????? Wink Ok, maybe a bit soon for a lot of that...have you worked out a rough EDD?

100 - Wow, that's a proper bump!! :) Lovely pic!

Squirrel - mega congrats to you too! And welcome baby Charlotte :) Can't wait to see a piccy! :)

Some lovely news this morning, that has lifted my mood...off to do the washing up & clean the toilet!! Oh the glamour!! Hmm

nannyl · 02/07/2011 08:41

OMG....

Congrats squirrel! Smile and
Congrats SWI Smile

What wonderful happy news for you both.

And SWI didnt you say you wanted to get pg in June? well you have Grin

100 love your picture

and ill catch up properly soon, but had to pop by to say huge congratulations! Grin

ShaggingWithIntent · 02/07/2011 08:45

Hahahaha!!!!
You should know that I'm a sad case and have had a names list for months!!!

Think it looks like an EDD of 11th March 2012 which means I can spend next summer camped on the sofa on maternity leave watching the olympics!!! Off to see my GP on Monday. All very exciting but I've got no idea what happens next.... Better buy a book (or 4!)

bebejones · 02/07/2011 08:46

SWI - Time for a namechange???

bebejones · 02/07/2011 08:51

That's exactly what I did with DD...in fact I watched the Olympics opening ceremony while I was in labour! Didn't know what to do with myself when it finished!!

I can recommend this book it's a good informations resource for lots of stuff. I use it more as a reference book than one to sit & read though. And this one is quite amusing if not massively informative...except for little tit bits of info & useful contacts. Eeek, so exciting! :o

ShaggingWithIntent · 02/07/2011 09:06

Ooooh anoter name change.... think I need some suggestions

ShaggingWithIntent · 02/07/2011 09:06

Helloooooo? Is there anybody out theeeeeeere?

strawberrypie · 03/07/2011 14:19

Huge congratulations to squirrel and SWI!!!!!!!!

Charlotte is a beautiful name, it was on our shortlist!

I knew there was something fishy about the 'parents in the spare room' excuse! You little fibber you! Great news though, I'm so happy for you :)

Quod I hope you get things sorted. It's a really difficult situation I can imagine- OH thinking he is helping by working above and beyond but not realising that life is what is happening now! (If that makes sense) It always seems to be us women making all the compromises [angry

I can imagine your madeira cake turned out perfectly bebe! I like the name suggestions :)

ShaggingWithIntent · 03/07/2011 15:10
