Mrsi2020 · 30/09/2020 17:47

@blodyn91 img glad you’re ok! Lol at treating yourself to a bowl of cereal?! We need to know the variety but ! It’s all in the details lol

Girls stop! You’re all making me feel old haha I’m 34! I reckon this will be my last tho! My eldest will be 11 when this bambino is born xxx

Mustbemad82 · 30/09/2020 17:53

You guys make me feel old ! I’m
38! I’m hoping 40s are the new 20s

Catherinettc · 30/09/2020 18:00

@Busybee143 I understand how u feel. I was the same. Therwlief when I saw the sac straight away was immense. I think the last week on here has us all biting our nails x once u see the wee bean u will feel better ❤

@Mrsi2020 yes push for altnagelvin so we can be baby buddies 🤣🤣

I have a couple of names but nothing set in stone. I love esmae, Anna, gracie for a girl and so far caolan (pronounced keelin) ethan, eoin (pronounced owen) for a boy. I already have cherice (girl) shay (boy) and katie. Totally outing myself here 🤣🤣 but who cares lol. Hubby like Irish names this time round. I will probably change my mind 10 times though 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣 xx

Mococo1 · 30/09/2020 18:35

@SmileyT happpy belated birthday!!! I'm really sorry your mum didn't ring you on your birthday ☹️ but also hopefully you should be protected from any redundancies as they'll be voluntary, when do you next have AL booked I'm off for the next 10 working days now and I'm bored out of my brain lol xxx

@Sophi123 happy belated birthday to you tooo!!! Glad your scan went well 😬👍🏽

Aww @Catherinettc I can really see little ones head and body it's so clear at 7 weeks mine just looked like a massive caterpillar 🐛

@blodyn91 hope you are okay after the car incident? Love that you said cereal as if it was some treat- details of which cereal please!? I had a craving for nesquick the other day and it did not taste the way it did as a child 😩

@blodyn91 @Busybee143 Im dreading turning 30 next year and no idea why as it's just another day another number- and hopefully il have a little by then so I can't even panic with the classic biological clock ticking 😂

@Bl0ndi3 I love the name nora and Freddie!
@Mrsi2020 rockyyyy and indie are such cute names!

@zippityzip bloody hell 🤣😂 if anyone can squeeze in an extra little one in the next few years and still juggle everything else it's defo you lol!

I'm soooooo tired it's crazy can't seem to sleep at night 😩 I went from sleeeeeeping so much to barely any sleep- ordered a pregnancy pillow to see if it helps x

@Catherinettc Aww glad your scan went well! Can't wait for my dating one next week now to get a proper update picture!

@blodyn91 Glad you're ok! So scary having someone run in the back of you I've had it before and everyone plus both cars were both fine aside from the tiniest of scuff marks but was still shaken up!

It's my 30th on Thursday next week, I always 'wanted' to have given birth by age 30 but I guess I'm not tooooo far off 🤣

Names we like Isabelle (or poss Isabella) for girl and Charlotte, boys Evan and Lucas so far. OH prefers Evan and I prefer Lucas 🙈

blodyn91 · 30/09/2020 19:38

@Mococo1 @Mrsi2020 unfortunately it was just corn flakes with a spoonfull of sugar 😆 but warmed up in the microwave (hope Im not the only one who does this). I've lost count of how many cereal dinners Ive had the past few months, Its the one thing I just really enjoy eating 🙈

@SmileyT but houses are selling everywhere...there is a huge need for mortage advisors 🤷🏼‍♀️ really is crap though. The amomount of lives affected by corona through these sort of situations and cancelled ops and missed screening is horrific.

Busybee143 · 30/09/2020 19:42

@SmileyT thanks, I'll let you guys know how it goes, sorry your mum didn't ring, rant away, that's what we're here for.

@Mococo1 I can't say I'm ready to turn 30 haha!

@Catherinettc I'm just going to tell the person scanning to get it over and done with quickly, I'm hoping and praying it's good news. We have a couple of Irish names in the pipeline, wifeys grandparents are Irish.

Bl0ndi3 · 30/09/2020 20:09

@Mrsi2020 my OH surname starts with F so anything starting with the same sound like Freddie and phoebe sounds really good so frankie is worth pitching to OH see if he likes it too! 😍 I adore the name indie but it's not for OH aparently

@SmileyT hahahaha jt really tickled me that you'd never actually said you were worried about being old 😂😂

Don't apologise for grumbling that's not great with your mum even if you are used to it, you still are allowed to be upset x

Fingers crossed you're not affected in the redundancy's? Xx

@blodyn91 oh honey I do hope you're okay and you may feel it tomorrow so just be prepared for the delayed whiplash.

Also lol at the cereal 😂😂 I too wanna know what kind (maybe you've already said and I've just not caught up haha! Oh you have cornflakes that's weak haha was expecting like golden nuggets or something epic 😂😂)

@Sophi123 happy belated birthday to you ❤️

@Ltay2 all your names are lovely - I love Evan it's cute ❤️

I love the name Luca for a boy but We have a friend with a son called that so it's out 😞

mrsmummy1111 · 30/09/2020 20:12

You lot are all YOUNG. I'm 33 in a few months 😳
How the fuck did that happen I'm sure I only just had my 30th. I got pregnant with DS when I was 30 and he's not even 18 months yet and I'm somehow almost 33?! Is my maths wrong?!

We aren't finding out the sex but I'm convinced it's another boy so am only really thinking of boy names.

So far we have:

FUCK ALL.

The husband likes Louis, I'm not sure. I like the name, but do I like it enough?!

Hit me ladies with your boy name suggestions? I'm not joking, with DS we had one boy name we both liked. And that was it. And that's his name. Already used it. So yeah, we're fucked

Bl0ndi3 · 30/09/2020 20:13

@mrsmummy1111 tell me some names you do like? Xx

mrsmummy1111 · 30/09/2020 20:27

@Bl0ndi3 Genuinely this is my issue. I don't really like anything 😳
I do like Ralph but one of my best mates stole that a few years ago (I say stole, in reality we had never discussed it and she therefore had no idea I liked it!)
Would it help if I said what I don't like?? 🤣🤣

I don't like overly traditional names (eg William, Harry, Christopher etc) - APOLOGIES I'm sure there's lots of Harry's and Williams on this thread it's honestly just personal choice, they don't suit us!) but equally don't like anything too "out there".
I also am not mad on the old fashioned but newly trendy names (think Albert, reggie, Ronnie etc) - no idea why, just not mad keen on them. Even though I know some absolutely wonderful little boys called albie and arthur it's just not for me.

I like Sebastian (Seb) but the husband hates it. He's stupid. I also like Ellis (I think?) and Louis. I quite like names which aren't too "manly"🤣 - for example, DS's name is actually unisex and I know a few girls who have his name. I quite like that it's not a traditional boys boy type name, and there's a pretty even split when we ask people between people thinking it's a boy's name and others thinking it's a girl name. Is it weird that I quite like that? So something not overly boyish. I think Louis isn't a mega manly name but maybe that's because I associate it with Louis Theroux, the most wonderful man on earth (and hardly manly!)

DISCLAIMER - I apologise in advance if I happen to have offended anyone with the above. Names are really personal and as long as we love the names we've chosen, fuck what anyone else thinks (myself included!£

mrsmummy1111 · 30/09/2020 20:33

I like Dexter! Hubby says all Dexter's are serial killers

Bl0ndi3 · 30/09/2020 20:44

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@mrsmummy1111
What an amazing rambling post.
Ok so potentially outing myself but DSS is Ralph and it's a great name shame your friend STOLE IT - what a bitch 😂🙄

And I'm still left clueless as to what you might like. 😂

You need to download the kinder app!

Have you looked at the baby names thread on here?

Do you like max? Could be maxwell, maximo, Maximilian etc although maybe that's too manly 🧐😂

Toby/tobias?

lol at Louis thereoux he is lovely isn't he

mrsmummy1111 · 30/09/2020 20:51

@Bl0ndi3 Hahahaha can you tell I've got some time on my hands tonight. Talk about WORD VOMIT

I'm actually probably just off my tits on msg as we got a Chinese takeaway for dinner. On a Wednesday. And not one single fuck was given.

I'm jealous. Ralph is a bloody great name! Nah don't like max, plus if you knew what my surname now was, you'd never let me name my child max. Think along the lines of Sam Sampson / William Williams (but not quite as obvious)

Toby I like!!!!!!!! Toby I actually do like. Ok Toby may make the shortlists shortlist. Can't promise anything though, DH is just as fussy as me.

Will have a look for the names thread 👍🏼

Mrsi2020 · 30/09/2020 20:51

@blodyn91 ooh my fave! I micro the corn flakes and milk together and everyone thinks I’m rotten lol

@mrsmummy1111 Theo? Jesse? Robyn? Rex? teddy?

I love Albie! I have a madison and a Makenna !

Mrsi2020 · 30/09/2020 20:53

@mrsmummy1111 Cooper? Xxx

mrsmummy1111 · 30/09/2020 20:54

@Mrsi2020 Theo is such a wonderful name, but it's also my nephews name. But I absolutely adore it and he suits it as he's such a loving cuddly boy. I don't think I've ever met a Theo I don't like?!

mrsmummy1111 · 30/09/2020 20:55

Microwaved cornflakes should be punishable by law

Mrsi2020 · 30/09/2020 20:56

Finley, Hugo, Milo, Oscar, Ollie, Danny ....

Mrsi2020 · 30/09/2020 20:58

Omg that’s blasphemy! I heat them till they’re boiling abd then add sugar omg yumm , Frosties too!

Ooooh what about Ben?

Bl0ndi3 · 30/09/2020 20:58

@mrsmummy1111 you're cracking me up tonight! Sat here chuckling at your messages 😂

I like Sampson with nickname/shortened to Sam ❤️ that's really unique and traditional at the same time I think haha

Glad you like Toby I would have that on my list but nephew is called it so it's out 😭

Bl0ndi3 · 30/09/2020 21:00

@Mrsi2020 I love Hugo but my OH isn't keen 😭 OH wants myles but we have one in the family so I'm not convinced I want to use it!

Mrsi2020 · 30/09/2020 21:01

I prob wouldn’t use one of someone in the house! My granda is frankie and I wud have loved to have used that but my cousin did! My granny is Peggy! It is a strong contender too xxx
