    Oooooh I am loving all the names. Thank you for sharing, I like hearing what others have picked out.......I am really not sure what we are going to call this little tinker? I still have isaac from when we had names picked out for ds3 but I also like the names finley/finlay, kian and Logan. Except kian and Logan are prety much no go as I don't want dame initials and I have a j, k, l starting letters for the other three boys. Also the name must go nicely with Thomas as the middle name! I am only really thinking of boy names as I doubt very much it will be a girl...

    Dont talk too soon i was convinced i was having a girl (we have 5 girls between us :eek: ) and it turned out to be a boy :D gobsmacked was not the word :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    How do you do a Chocolate slab?

    Redmel - I love Isaac (but OH said no to any Hanson names for me)

    Here is the clothes I have, can you help?
    0-3 Months

    25 x short sleeved vests
    4 x Long Sleeve Vests
    2 x Pairs of socks
    2 x Hats
    3 x Bibs
    9 x Tshirts
    4 x Dungarees
    4 x Trousers
    1 x Hoodie
    1 x Jeans
    3 x Cotton Shorts
    2 x Sleepsuits

    3 - 6 Months

    3 x Dungarees
    2 x Vests
    1 x Hoodie
    10 x Tshirts
    1 x Jean Shorts
    1 x Cardigan
    3 x Sleepsuits
    1 x Cotton Shorts

    Ok thats what I have got so far ... I seem to have a lot of vests for 0-3 months, do you think I have enough clothes for 0 - 3 months APART from sleepsuits, I know I need more of them, how many sleepsuits do you reckon I need?

    And I totally need some vests and sleepsuits for 3-6 months

    Would you guys buy for beyond 6 months yet?

    Thanks

    You are very well prepared :)

    I'd say 5 sleepsuits cos it looks like you'l be dressing him in daytime outfits too.

    As long as you do a load of laundry once every 4 days (which I think with a baby is hard to get out of!) and it'll dry in a day then you'll be fine :)

    Wouldn't buy for 6 months yet. All fergie's stuff is the wrong season cos at nearly 8 months he's still in 3-6 months.

    HTH

    Guess what all? As a new ebay seller I had a purchase-yay! No-one went for the 14 item bundle deal strangely, but one little poloshirt went well :T:T

    Ive give up on the tidying for a while, half the room looks organised and smells like polish and the other sides still a mess but I need OH to take some big boxes of my craft stuff upstairs. Considering we have a 4 bed house for just the two (soon to be 3!) of us its heaving with stuff! Im such a hoarder whereas OH doesnt see the need for pointless belongings, Ive got rid of so much the last few months but its still stupidly full and its my own fault :mad:

    Sorry, went off on a little rant there!

    Labour non-induction vibes Fidget! I hated how all the smokers were wheeling their drips outside the hospital straight after their caesarians when I was going for my scans.

    Ive just read the sheets I got from hospital for what to pack in my bag (hadnt read them before as bag was already packed) Apparently I need to take my own tea, coffee and a mug if I want a brew :eek: They will provide milk and sugar though :rotfl:

    Hi Jha :hello:

    Kindof I wasnt going to buy much further than 6 month stuff unless it was something I couldnt resist as dont really know if baby will be big/small, long and skinny etc so not sure what size they'll be in when but as you'll see from my earlier post my mums bought tonnes in bigger sizes already. I'll be surprised if 40% of it gets worn theres that much.

    Yep, it finished today. But I'll let you know if I relist. Although I'd feel bad if you bid cos it's MSE and the fairies should send you stuff :)

    Well on the subject of cake I just had a slice of my lemon drizzle cake and it was very nice. I also tried the gingerbread cupcakes earlier on and they were very nice too with a lemon frosting!!

    My lunch was good too, had a club sandwich and chips. Realised after I rodered though that there was home-made mayo on it, although I'm honestly not too worried.

    I'm getting uncomfortable sat at work today. Probably just these jeans but I don't know how some of you worked so late. I can't wait to finish and I'll be finishing at 32 weeks!!

    Kindof - I was thinking nice oven too!! Did your scones taste yummy?

    Fidget can't believe your consultant thought the mark from your jeans was a scar! No wonder you don;t have much confidence in being in hospital. Hope you can get your sweep tomorrow and it starts things off for you. (And I am glad I'm opting for a HB!!)
    And OMG at the smokey, boozy, section woman! Scary scary stuff!!

    off to take DD to dentists

    Nikkit meant to get on before you go and say to ask for wax, it will help your dd to get used to the braces. You may have it if they have given you a starter kit.I also worked in a orthodontist so if i can be of any help just ask. xxx
