The Elderberry Helicopter #3, in which we continue to fret and play 'guess the sex'

[Boomgoestheweasel]

Open to all elderberry grads and anyone who fits the berry criteria: over 30, pregnant with #1 after trying for a loooong time, and nervous as hell. Come on in for handholding and nub theory!

OO, exciting landmark kitty!

Yep, we're gonna find out the team - need to decide on a name! (moment of extreme scariness actually thinking of real actual baby)

Oh I've had far too many years to think about this, we've had our names picked out waaay before I even conceived lol!

has anyone else actually decided on a name? We had decided by the weekend after our 20w scan.
Haven't told a soul yet but have been talking to her by name. Dh nearly slipped at PIL tonight and started to say she, but we are keeping it all our secret for the moment.

cross post kitty!

tally I've been using its name too. I'm going to be soooo embarrassed when it turns out to be the opposite of what I think it is haha!

We have a girls name, but not a boys name. Well, we might have a boys name in mind but my friend sort of mentioned she wanted to call her baby it should it be a boy…. turns out her next one is going to be a girl, but we're trying to work out if we can still have it in case she has another…. It's my granddad's name after all!

Evening all!

Had such lovely news today, my SIL who has been ttc for longer than us just let us know she's diffed! Eeeeeee!! A cousin for the twinnies!

Sorry, no time to catch up properly but had to share as I'm not allowed in RL!

brod just steal it! My cousin has called her baby our girls name but we're using it anyway, assuming its a girl! X

brod, take it! she doesn't have dibs on it

my nephew has the name we thought of last time and I was quite ok until dhs cousin chose the girls version as well! But now we are totally happy with our names and I'm worried its a bit early to be so definite.

yay boom, that's brilliant!!!!!

id use the name too!

we hav talked about names but not seriously, waiting til after 20 week scan!

we call baby mini-surname! as me and oh are not married (engaged!) it will hav his surname which is lovely and I will eventually catch up!

Well darling cat has been doing her bit to keep me off my back last night as slept behind me practically all night!!

boom lovely news re sil. Did she have any 'help'? Or is that too personal a question?

kitty another win for clomid maybe another set of twins in the pipeline...?

brod use the name! She might never have a boy. You could mention it to her just as good manners, like you say it's a family name and she doesn't have dibs!

Ours are called Darth and Chicken at the mo

haha, great names boom :)

Bit early for us (13 wks) but I've got a few ideas. Still not even thought about girl's names but hoping I won't have to, if I'm right about my instinct that it's a boy. Should find out in 3 weeks, can't wait.

Aha, kat, they are all lovely. in fact so lovely that we have chosen Imogen and we love it!

Imogen is nice. me and Oh currently dont agree on any names! we like totally different ones!

in other exciting news had midwife apt today. heard babys heart beat!!
Very exciting!

also found out I am O neg blood type, which u didnt know so doing some research around this so I get whats going on with it!

Puppy I'm O neg too. And maybe Boom or Thunder? You'll get given anti d at 28 weeks

Kat tally Imogen is lovely! Also thinking Elijah as a second name for a boy.

Since we spilling the beans, we're thinking Isabella Mai for a girl and Jacob Elijah for a boy.

Hi all. Headache's back

I'm B neg and dreading anti-D on 30th

Love Imogen, so pretty.

No I'm not finding out the sex, and neither is boom I believe. Just having a bean in there is plenty magic enough for me, I don't need to know more at this stage. We have ideas for names but I'd need to meet little'un first I think.

Imogen is a lovely name!

Ha, loving the names for your two boom

My granddad on the one side was called the male version, and my grandma on the other side was called the female version so I definitely have a right to it. I think we might mention it though in case she feels like I've stolen it Plus it's not out of the question for two friends to have a kid with the same name I think, only a problem in the family….

Hi ladies. I'm afraid I'm leaving you all here. Follow up scan showed that heart has stopped beating. We are so very very sad. To happen twice in a row is so heart breaking. Wishing you all much health and happiness xxx

Omg I'm so so sorry to hear this. I literally don't know what to say other than how you've always got all our support whenever you may need us. Thinking of you

Oh no funky so sorry to hear this. I second what kitty says, I'll be thinking of you xxxx

Oh funky how heart breaking. There is nothing to say that will make it better right now but look after yourself and come and talk to us whenever you feel like it.
