Hi ladies - I am back from our travels. It was all very mad work wise leading up to going away so I never got a chance to tell you what our final plans were.
Bodders, We tried to get 'Hamish' the camper van but it didn't work out, but definately for our next holiday that will be what we do. It was such a good idea of yours! The vans have DVD players, sat nav etc - all the mod cons . Very exicted by it all.
Anyway, as it was we went to see some pals in Hertford in the end, and it was fantastic. DS was a little star the whole time and slept well on the journeys (we drove after 6pm so he'd sleep for most of it). We stayed with a couple of friends, one who are due baby number 1 in 4 weeks and another who have a 14 wk old girl. It was really lovely... Got back to Edinburgh at 1am this morning and back to work today so I'm knackered!!!! Am reading about your plans for short weeks Firsty and its making me think! It sounds lovely
So do we really have 2 bank hols coming up? Hope so!!!
Fettle - as you'll know we found out the sex. Genreally it was because we could concinvce DS that he wanted whatever sex the baby was (we always talk about 'brothers' now and how good it would be for him to have a brother), but also because I was really curious. I always imagined that we'd have a daughter and although I am in no way disappointed that we are having another boy, the extra time knowing has helped me get my head round it and now I'm really excited to be having another wee boy. I guess its all personal preference really and I can see both sides of the argument as when DS was born it was a nice surprise.
Oooh, Greedy, there is really no need to have the debate about finding out the sex - we all know its a little girl in there! I really like the names you mentioned... Well, I think we are getting closer to deciding on a name. We've been round the houses with 'Zack', 'James' etc, but I think we are settling on Theo or Caden (this LO's middle name will definately be Henry). I wanted something a little different but hopefully not too wacky. There are some bizarre names on that web-site you posted Babymad!!
So, what do you guys think of Theo? I think thats our first choice, and it will give the LO lots of choice for changing it (ie. his actually name would be Theodore so he could be Teddy if he wanted?)
All thoughts welcome - except "Oh my God you pair of freaks thats an CRAP name to inflict on a poor child" But, honestly feel free to say if you think its rubbish!
I can't remember who said they had leaky boobs, but I think mine are becoming operational too. The other day DH was having a little play with them and he said "urrgh, there's something sweet tasting coming out of them" - I think that will be the last time I see any nipple action for a while
Oh, before I go congratulations on your scan Kitkat - Am so pleased its all gone well!!
