    got-it-spend-it - we've chosen Caitlyn Rose! I'm banking on them being right that it's a girl, we haven't thought of any boys names!

    I have been trying to have some fibre-full cereal for breakfast and eat fruit etc and liquids, but to be fair even doing that I still have constipation and have done since very early (new just over 14 weeks) so expect it to continue for a while yet......

    Same here too,I posted about it in the very early weeks. It has eased off abit now though but I have to continuously drink lots of water and OJ. Too bloody late though if u ask me, an old friend popped out to visit (pile!) :mad::mad:
    love my little man he is amazing :j

    Pinkpig- I think Caitlyn is a gorgeous name, and would shorten to Cait rather than Katy. I must say that Rosemary/ Rosie is growing on me as a first name actually. Still got 26 weeks to decide so doesn't matter that I am so indecisive!

    Glam well done on your savings. You've spurred me on to do some eBay listing I have been putting off!

    Hi everyone!

    Recently found out that im pregnant, so thought I would join this thread :) Was a bit of a surprise as i was on the pill, so slowly getting used to the idea, as well as starting with morning sickness (that only seems to start when i get into work, just my luck!)

    6 weeks gone, worked out my due date to me 22nd December, so a christmas baby if all goes well :)

    Well done Glam!

    Pink, Caitlyn Ruth is our girls name... Will be shortened to Caity-Roo lol...

    Boys name is still undecided... We started seriously considering Jamie the other day... Until I realised... Aimee and Jamie... Just doesn't go right... Hubby loves Dylan... But his middle name would be Thomas and I just don't think we could name our child after a famous writer... Seems a little pretentious to me...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Ooh Krystal my middle name is Ruth! Caity Roo is a lovely name! I know what you mean about using Dylan and Thomas. One of my fave boys names is Oscar but our surname is Wyld so it's a big no-no!
