Jan '07 part 25: Tell our families that they may take our social lives, but they'll never take our FRREEEEEDOMMMMM!

[2Happy]

Now paint your face blue, and stick your tongue out at the world - end especially the half-wit-mid-life-crisis-lacking-common-sense-PMT-suffering-eejits we otherwise call men.

eandh, ratbunny, susie, UD - this one's for you

Congratulations Shimmer!!!!!! More details needed though!

Wilkie and EAH- I have to say I am pretty sure I am having a boy. We are having a nightmare about names though as we cant agree.

I want a religious name that cant really be shortened. John, Mark, Paul ruled out because of close friends/family and I really liked Jude but DH asked MIL who said it reminded her of Judy and now DH does

Also they are worried that with our surname it would sound even more like Judy

So back to the drawing board!

Issac, Joseph, Jacob, Noah, Peter, Adam (although Is uppose some of them can be shortened)

If all else fails how about Jesus

Hi everyone!
Hope you are all well. Just a quickie.
Shimmer -thats fab news! Whats the ring like??!!! x

Only one thing to say as I'm off to bed now - but - OH MY GOD I LOVE MEDISED!!!! Dj slept the entire flight to and from Portugal. Its magical stuff!

Will catch up properly soon xxx

Lizz - did you have a fab time?

Just loaded a load of new pics on my profile

Thanks EAH but...

Issac, Jacob- DH says too religious,
Joseph- Close friends ds is called this, Noah- DH doesn't like so vitoed it ,
Peter- My uncle was called this and think it would be too hard for my nan, dad and other uncle as he is not alive anymore,
Adam- Another close friend's ds.

See my problem!

Luke starts preschool tomorrow morning. Feel really nervous about it. Sure he will be fine but I will probably get upset. Considering I am crying at everything atm and after that story last night about the goalkeeper who crashed and killed those two boys and seriously injured the dad, DH has banned me from watching the news! I will just have to say goodbye and leave quickly then cry all the way home! Know it is a bit pathetic but this is the first time Luke has been away with people other than family or close friends.

Lizz, hope you had a great time. Medised has opposite effect on Luke as he is allergic to antihistamine (sp?). So he would be boucing off the walls of the plane (do planes even have walls?!!) I love our portable DVD players though. Soooooo worth the money as they lock my two off for hours. Means I can have a sleep when we drive to PIL or my dad's without listening to 'mummy, mummy, mummy, mummy, mummy, MUUUUUUUUUUMMY!' all the way.

Gorgeous pics EAH- Hattie looks about 6 months older than Ruth though! What a head of hair! Ruth has a sort of whispy mullet

What about Samuel - my nephews name and he is adament he is Samuel and not Sam?

Matthew, mark, john, abel, cain lol lol

think the next thread title will need to include Dragonharts biblical not to be shortened/be family member baby name dilema

am considering getting Ellie's childrens bible down off the shelf and going through the names

I like harry, harrison, ben, thomas, max, tom, danny, dan, james .................

What if its a girl

Congratulations shimmer!!

Hmmm, boy's bible names...

Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Peter, Paul, Saul, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bart, Simon, Daniel, David, Aaron, Isaac, Moses, Joshua, Samuel, Jesse, Jonathan, Adam, Jacob, Joseph, Silas..... ok they're not all unshortenable, but surely there's one in there that's not a relative's name (we had exactly the same problem - dh's family don't make girls, so every name I suggested, dh would veto because he had a cousin called that )

I love Jesse wanted that on boys name list when pg with E but dh decided he didnt like it

Love Saul (ratbunny )and Thomas (was going to be Thomas or Jack if H had been a boy)

I have the register from preschool and some names are Freddie, Henry, Joshua, Jamie/James, Toby, Charlie, Tyler , Samuel, Luke, Amir, Ryan, Anthony, William, George, Thomas plus a ferw others

Just wanted to drop in and say:

AF is finally back. Am I the last one? (Apart from the pg ones, obviously!!)

I've had one UD, when dh was a week late picking my next pack of mini-pill up (I told him if I had to remember to take the blimming thing every day, the least he could do was remember to pick it up from the doctors. It took him 2 weeks to remember!!).

ok, am i the last one apart from those of us on hormonal contraception and pg?

I love the minipill. I get spots, and am moody as shite, but no period. Anything is worth not having periods!!

Samuel- My cousin's name
TOby- My nan's cat
James- I like but DH not
Ben- My nephew's name (well Benedict but everyone calls him Ben)
Thomas- I like but makes me think of Thomas the tank engine
Daniel- I like but sounds like a private detective or something with our surname (similar to my MN name)
Matthew- DH's cousin's name
Mark- We have 4 close friends called Mark
John- my brother is called Jonathan and everyone calls him Jon
Luke- Already got one!!!
Paul- DH's brother
Andrew- My uncle's name
Philip- DH's cousin's name
Bart- Sorry just think of simpsons!
David- My dad's name

We are a hopeless case! We will have to have a girl! I do like Michael but dont like Mike. Quite like Nathan and Ethan. BTW hope I haven't offended anyone!

Urban- I have had 4 or 5 periods in the last 44 months. That is one advantage to having your kids close together!

Dragon - I love Nathan, know a gorgeous little boy with that name, so what about girls names?

Anne, Rachael or Naomi. We have chosen afew before with Luke and Ruth as well then when we have seen what we have and looked at them, we just knew which name.

I remember you sating those before they all go well with L&R's names

Maybe the fact that we cant decide on a boys but decided on the girls names pretty quickly def means we are having a girl?!

DH - no idea for boy's names I'm afraid (we really struggled with Z's name!) but I love Naomi for a girl's name! How about Esther as well? Would go well with Ruth!
