Maybe the parents liked the idea of two names? Im almost certain we are talking about a little girl here - so there is no need to call her it. My child soon to be children are not fashion accessories but there names roll together and we spent alot of time choosing names that went nicely together and didnt clash with the surname - names are important, the most important thing is the parents are happy!

I was commenting more on her saying the baby had to have two names because the others did.

And I called the baby it because I call my baby it. I didn;t mean any offence.

Woohoo, I just bought our nappies off eBay, £40 cheaper than they are on the little lambs website... Decided to get a full pack of size ones to be going on with then spread out a little when we get to size two... Get a mixture of different makes...

Also discovered Argos have a child version of the Dazzle... Only available for home delivery at the minute, looks like it's last years toy... So hubby's going to pop into the argos bargain clearance shop on his way home and see if they have any in there... Think Aimee would enjoy pushing the same buggy as Mummy

And on the subject of Aimee... She has another water infection... But it looks like she's had it for weeks, as long as she's been ill anyway... And if the hospital had forwarded the results of her water sample to the Dr she could of been treated weeks ago, as it was I had to go down to the Dr and request a sample before they would do anything... So the receptionist rang me before lunch to say Aimee needed a prescription 'urgently' didn't say what to do with the antibiotics they put her on on Tuesday and they're closed for the bank holiday now, so I had to ring NHS Direct to clarify... Honestly!:mad:

Well done on the bargain Krystal. Aimee will look super sweet with the same buggy as mummy.
I dont know if it is something that you have looked into and I hope you dont mind me mentioning but you have commented a few times about Aimee having a water infection.
Have you thought of giving her a daily cranberry capsule?
About 2 and a half years ago I had three uti's in the space of just under 12 months each one worse than the last even being in hospital for the most recent one.
I did some research and started taking one cranberry cap a day and I have never had a thing since, Lots of others I have spoke to about it on forums and etc swear by it too and when they have stopped have had a repeat of the uti. Doing a quick goog search then it seems safe for children too but obviously you would have to look into it yourself...
Sorry if thats classed as medical advice.... wasnt meant to be more of a helpful tip.

Everyone i know has a middle name, except my OH, but he changed his whole name legally

My mum didn't choose my middle name, my uncle told everyone that was my middle name and my mum just went with it lol.
Luckily it goes really well with my first name

Thats Lucky Evansangel I know lots of middle names come from family traditions too or babies are named after someone that kind of thing.

Thanks Sparkle, It's not something I've considered actually but might bring it up next time we're at the paediatrician... She's got to have a kidney scan soon to see if they have anything to do with the infections...

Me and my younger sister have middle names that aren't after family.
But my other sister and 2 brothers have middle names that are related to the family.
And my little brothers first name (jack) is my nans surname (She passed away just befor ehe was born) and his middle name is his dads, dad's name (john).

But is suits him so its all good

Weigh it feely and see if the cost of postage is equal to or less than the value of two large first class stamps... Make sure you put your address on the back in case of undelivery...

Or could you buy postage from the website? Or do you still need to visit the post office for that?
