All 3 of my boys have proper names but are quite uncommon and they have always been the only one with that name at school. They love their names too and say they are unique. I don't want to name all three at this point just incase someone recognises me (I haven't 'come out' yet!)

One is Theodor (Theo) Anyone like that?

My_Fathers_Daughter

Shoppie - Theodore is on our list of 11 but hubby doesn't like it any more I don't think he likes much at the moment!

JM - I like Riley but hubby wouldn't have a bar of it!




Just spoken to my dad about yesterday (I was avoiding phonecalls yesterday) and he says I will be having a 14 pounder and just went on and on... He thinks he's being funny but all he is being is mean :mad: Phonecall abruptly ended.



AF - durham bought hers before I bought mine...and she has had one before :cool:

Do you know I have a fear of canulars (sp?) in my arm - born from loads of operations and I can't think about anything else. I once had 120 stitches in my tummy after a 15lb cyst was removed off my ovary and all I could say was 'please take this out of my hand and this one out of my arm'. Nurses were laughing at me! Epidural in spine I don't care about but the fact I would also be on a drip TERRIFIES me and I live in fear that I will have to have one. I was panicking when I was induced as if the second lot of gel hadn't worked then I would have been on the drip and that would have made my birth experience a whole lot worse. Hoping for just gas and air again this time as morphine and it's derivatives make me violently sick.

Drips :eek: just the thought makes me go faint and feel sick!!
My fear is so strong that I often say I'd rather die than ever have one again
obviously I would let myself or baby die but I think I would need to be sedated or something coz I'd be hysterical!

and all because of a bad experience with an idiotic orthodontist and anesthetist!! :mad::rolleyes:

I was just saying on the parent thread Even tho My son is Christopher it was number 90 in 2007 - the year he was born and I haven't come across any other Christophers his age either. The only ones i can think of that i know more than one of is John, Charlie and Ethan I kno 2 of each although the one Charlie is a boy and the other is a girl

What is your hubbys name or family names background? My hubby didn't like anything until I found variations of his name (His name originated from Theodoric). Our second son is named sfter his dad although he has always been called a variation of it. The third son's name is Scottish his family are scottish. It also has another special meaning to us. PM me if you are interested in what the names actually are.

It wasn't until I could relate a name I liked to him that he liked it.

Had 20wk scan this am and convinced hubby NOT to find out what flavour we're having. Like Sami I might need some time to get my head around having a boy, but decided it is the only surprise left. Don't know what the other 2nd (and 3rd etc) timers think, but somehow this pg is just not as exciting as 1st time around? I feel bad for saying it and am trying hard to feel bonded with baby, but it's just not happening.

We're struggling with boy names so any suggestions welcome. We like 'proper' names, but not common as our surname is common. And no biblical ones as OH is a staunch aetheist (sp?). Ned, Max, Owen and Alex are on the list at the mo' but none 'feel' quite right yet.

(

I wanted a girl with no 1 - didn't realise quite HOW much until she was born (hosp then had policy of not telling you) With no2 I wanted a girl and the hosp policy had changed - but baby had legs crossed, so they couldn't see. When DS1 was born I was incredibly disappointed - I actually remember thinking along the lines of 'I went through all that and got a boy !' He was also harder than DD - woke more, bit fussy feeder etc. Combine that with me ffeling tired looking after 2 and still working (just over 30 miles away, but leaving home around 7.30 and dropping 2 off at nursery, picking tehm up at 6pm) and I had PND. Didn't actually feel like I loved DS1 until he was nearly 2.:o I still feel guilty about that. he's still the 'hardest' child but is very loving and lovable - but suffers from middle child-ness and also has a very bright and placid older sister which people always comment on ..

DS2 was totally unplanned. At 20 week scan they said they couldn't be sure, but thought he was a girl. Decided to have babybond scan at about 27 weeks to check. When they said he was a boy I was SO disappointed again (see a theme here??). I remember crying in the coffee shop taht he was a boy and that I should eb grateful cos he appeared to be a healthy baby and I already had 2 healthy children and I knew lots of people who struggled to get pg and 2 of my friends had ended up dying within 24 hours of giving birth to much-longed-for babies etc etce etc - very hormonal stuff. I refused to buy any boy clothes until very close to the end and couldn't face telling anyone he was a boy - so everyone else found out after he was born. I needed to know to get my head around him being a boy before he was born - and I did bond with him straight off, thankfully.

This baby was planned. I really wanted a girl , as did DH (no surprise there!!) - would have been nice to 'top and tail' the four with girls, plus I can think of LOADS of girls names I like and very few boys names (LOTS of boys in our families, so choices get limited) (DS1 didn't have a name for a week, cos we didn't ahve a boy's name - we didn't for DD either. With DS2 we changed our minds a week before due date) When I had the CVS wa-aa--ay back in early Nov I asked to find the sex out after - and it's a boy. That's the first time I've posted that on here. Only person in my family who knows is DH.

I think I've got my head around it now (have bought a blue cardigan-jacket thing, after all - and some blue bibs and a blue hooded towel) but I still get a pang every time someone on here announces they're in team pink:o - a sort of 'I want one of those..' Have no idea of names, and am refusing to think about it yet (but can come up with lots of girly ones:p ) Doesn't help that DD, my mum and m-il and several other rellies all think/ want it to be a girl....


You know, I've attempted to type out my feelings on having the 'wrong' sex baby several times before today - but have always deleted it. However, at least I know I'm not the only one who needs time to get their head around it!


and I also have to confess that pgnancy isn't (for me) as exciting as it was 1st time around, either - hence why I get uncertian as to how many weeks I am (but I must be 28 weeks as I've got the cr***y GTT tomorrow - yick!)

LOL Shoppie - hubby is a Smith!

I am originally a Cartledge which is Derbyshire/Staffordshire in origin (like me!)


Definitely no scottish names in this house (long story!).


I think he is just being arkward...he was saying last night that he didn't want anything ending in S and seemed surprised when I reminded him that his eldest sons name ends in an S!!!

We'll get there...as I am labouring I am going to work on him

Not wanting to sound all american here but thank you for sharing that with us greent - I know a little bit about where you are coming from. I so desperately wanted to please my hubby and family with a girl but I knew deep inside me that Bubba was a boy. I needed to find out because I don't do surprises (AT ALL) and I was terribly afraid that if I gave birth and it was a boy I wouldn't want to know him.

Now I am SO excited about my little boy :T I know boys much better (my family, hubbys family and most of my friends are mostly boys) and it made DSS very happy to be getting a brother (he's at that age!). Finding out was the best thing I ever did.

I am just as excited expecting numebr 3 as I was with the other two - however a little bit sad that this will be my last pregnancy.

My parents have 9 grandsons and 1 grandaughter and are always going on that they hope this one is a girl. I however think if I do have a girl it would just cause all sorts of rows. I really dont mind what I get but deep down I believe it will be another boy.

My OH chose the name Travis after the drummer in Blink 182 and is over the moon that I like the name.
