Maybe, I feel like a serious loser talking about names 
What a total dick. However, I am utterly convince I'm not alone so here goes:
Walter and Beatrix.
No, we will not be finding out the sex.

I love old bastard names. I wanted Queenie desperately for a girl (still do) but absolutely everyone in my family almost choke with disgust when I bring it up. They are begging me to not use it. I'm sad because I don't just like it, I love it. Queen Victoria was nicknamed Queenie in private family circles and it became a very popular name in the late nineteenth century. Beatrix is my second fave but I hate Bea It makes me think of that goggle-eyed horror, Princess Beatrice. I wanted Margo last year but that alien-head Sophie Dahl nicked it. I really loved Theodora last year, too, but that lardy fucker Robbie Williams snaffled it.
Walter is just so lovely but I will assault anyone who chooses to call him Wally.

I fancied bible names too: Salome - pronounced like salami but with an 'o' (but she was a prostitute); Solomon (th'usband says "too black" 
); and Lucius (th'usband thinks it's too similar to Lucifer).

Maybe, th'usband is incredibly accommodating considering some of the more obscure names I've chucked at him. Right up until we got pregnant he was up for Queenie but since the BFP all he will say is, 'do we have to?' and then looks a bit shamed. My eldest niece, Laurie, whose opinions I really value, almost vomited at the suggestion of Queenie and said it was the most chavtastic and hideous name ever

Haha! Chavtastic?! I wouldn't say that at all. And I'm an Essex girl so know all about chavs

We have to be really careful because I have an unbelievably broad Lancashire accent which is truly horrid and the name we really wanted for a boy - Hector - had to be abandoned simply because I can't/won't pronounce my aitches. My best friend at uni was Harriet and for three years all around campus and in the clubs and pubs you would hear me bellowing: "'arriet! 'arriet!" 
Can you imagine me screeching "'ector!" in the supermarket?

Motor, I've loved Lucien ever since I read A Time To Kill by John Grisham in my late teens. I went off it slightly when Donald Sutherland played the character in the film. Theodora would be shortened to Teddy in my house - which I think is gorgeous for a girl - but one of my cats is called the same
My friend, beige sludge, is back

Prammy. I think hector is amazing!
We are having Teddy for a boy. I love it. We can't agree on girls names. My DH is the same Motor. He thinks a lot if names sound pretentious. I really love Darcy for a girl. Don't think I'll be allowed it!!

I'm blardy-well bored shitless. Where are you all? Your jobs can't be that important, surely?
Fish for tea
I'm going to be sick................

Maybe, not the thought of fish; the thought of anything. Don't get me wrong: I am delighted to be having these symptoms, I really am, but this level of dibilitating nausea is pretty difficult to handle. The cats are yowling because 4pm is their tea time and I can not open a tin of cat food. Imagining the smell made me run to the bog at 4.10 when Teddy became hysterical and I considered it. They'll have to wait until 7pm when th'usband gets in. I could open the tin with a towel over my mouth but the lingering smell is just too much.
I have such a strong constitution and am never, ever ill so it's all just a bit..well...sickening ('scuse the pun.
Can you tell us owt about your new job? I'm excited on your behalf
There's a girl on the March 2014 antenatal thread who is a self-confessed OCD anal nightmare (she did statistics at uni and when she was a little 'un she went to math camp...'cos she wanted to). She has set up a map on google of the UK with pins for all the places where we live. Take a look Bless her, she's absolutely lovely and confessed to having a full-blown panic attack in a meeting yesterday as she knew we'd updated our stats (she's devised a stats list on its own thread) and was desperate to update the list

You don't want an epiphany, Nook. It changes the landscape of your whole world and brings so much new responsibility with it. I have changed so much and learned so many things that I feel marginalised by my experiences sometimes. I sound like a dick, don't I? I am blessedly content, though
