    Names:

    Evelyn (to rhyme with Devil in, not Evil Lynne) Iris Alexa (middle names)

    if a girl, and stuck if a boy..... maybe Lewis? Or I quite like Giles but DH not keen :rotfl:


    xxx

    I love the girl's name. Lewis was one of our choices for a boy (the other was Oscar).

    :grouphug:Sorry to hear your mum and dad weren't over the moon. I hope they come round for you. I'm sure they'll treat the new little one just the same as Fergie when she/he arrives but it would be nice to go through the next six months with their support too.

    .. Yep, no problem at all Claire.

    Elle, are you up for one? DH and sis's BF are planning a day (or morning) fishing so my sis and I could come to you with Caitlin and meet up with you and Claire for a coffee somewhere? (well hot choc in my case as I don't like coffee :D). I know your quite shy about meets, so no worries if you'd prefer not to. xxx

    I'll be brave.. but hot choc for me too ;) Will PM you.

    morning :)

    oh dear only managed 4 hrs sleep, and nothing to do with fergus!

    maybe toast will help :)

    I'm on my third cuppa :o Rhys actually settled pretty well after several middle of the night feeds, it was just me lying there waiting for him to wake up again that was the problem! :rolleyes:

    Susan - would alcoholic gifts be a goer? My mum's just started her annual sloe gin batch
    The short answer is no.

    It's terrible, my work has an employee cafe in the building, with Starbucks subsidised coffee that works out around half price; I drink there loads. But right there on each office floor is a kitchen with free coffee! And yet, 3+ mornings a week, I buy a venti latte... :(
    At my brother's work you have to pay for hot water (I think it's one of those vending machine things) so one of his collegues gets cold water and then mocrowaves it because then it's free.

    I don't think I ate anything weird when pg :confused:
    Neither did I but one of my friends said she "knew" I was pregnant because one day OH said he was going to look for smoked salmon for me because I really like it and we'd just been on holiday and had it while we were on holiday. I was pregnant but the smoked salmon was nothing to do with that and was just because OH is lovely.

    "Quick nurse, more toast, stat! It's our last chance to save her consciousness!"

    Morning all. OK night really, although OH and baby are both badly coldy, snotty, snuffly, etc. Elijah decided 5.30 was waking up time this morning, so we had a little clash of wills which ultimately he won :confused: otherwise all good.
    Elle and Weezl!, you are so naughty about sleep. Elle is in the naughty corner nearly every morning, but young Weezl 74, I hope we won't be seeing you again, after being such a good example to the other girls! They look up to you, don't lead them astray!

    I can't just sit and watch tv, always have to have something else like laptop on or magazine to read. Rhys is fed and asleep again but I'm wide awake. Suppose I could do housework, but.. :whistle: ;)
