    Morning.

    Started to catch up, but ran out of time and have to leave the house shortly to go to Baby Sensory. Just wanted to say that I have no idea what the names list Beenie linked to is, but it's definitely not an official one!!! Holly is not the top girls name for 2009! Danille is on that top 10 and I don't even think it's a real name, so there is no way loads of folk named their baby that!!!!

    Beenie - If you like semi-unusual names, I think that Anya and Lyra are nice names without being too weird.

    Catch up later. xx

    Joseph is my favorite boys name! :D
    When I had him it was the only boys name I really liked, and still is.
    So when V was on the way, I gave OH the responsibility of picking a boys name as I didn't like any others - he was very original and picked Robert, same as him!
    It did cross my mind 'would it be bad to have another Joseph? Is there any law that says your children have to have diffferent names? :rotfl:
    George Foreman had 10 children -- 5 boys named George and 5 daughters, Freeda George, Georgetta, Michi, Leola, and Natalie

    Matthew is OH's middle name.... I like Ethan as well but wont go with surname... other names in family tree are Ethan, Heyden...
    Edgar was supposed to be Edgar Hayden but OH had a paddy over it :rolleyes: and changed his mind. Does it HAVE to be a family name? I personally steer away from family names coz I think I want to pick the name for my own reason not because someone else likes it IYSWIM?

    I was actually really p'd off when OH had his tantrum over Eds middle name because his parents were both being really pushy constantly saying James is nice/ sounds good blah blah.. yeah its an OK name it also happens to be both BIL's and OH's uncle's name! When OH said he agreed it worked I went into a hormonal rant telling him to bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep I'm not bleeeeeeeeeep using that bleeeep.... I think you get the picture :rotfl:

    My sister's friend has twin boy & girl with the lovely names Betsy and Seth cuuuuuttteeee!


    Weezl - :rotfl: and your poo story :D

    SS, if the hospial is charging you for services, then do you not have any rights if that service is not up to standard?
    We negotiated the price of my C-section right downward because of the hospital's mistakes, but the problem is mainly that we can't threaten legal action against this hospital because I work there.

    Do you think I ought to start packing hospital bag yet :rolleyes:....
    Sure - or at least gather the bits into one conveniently locatable place in case someone has to bring them to you :)

    Did anyone miss me? :D

    I think I'm still going to be flitting in and out over the next little while as we're still having some "issues" here (nothing to do with DH, LO or me).
    :wave: Nice to see you. I hope your issues are sorted soon.

    I'm not very good at letting MIL think I'm anything but perfect :D

    My mum is coming today - :T:T:T I'm off for a haircut and to grab some christmas shopping on my own. I'm looking forward to it.

    MOTM - lovely to hear about Lucy:D

    Is that because you worry about what she thinks? I remember my two eldests' mother's, mother. Nightmare. Called me 'Lord' as I wouldn't let her precious daughter sit down watching TV all day when we had 2 babies to look after.

    Have a nice haircut (spoil yourself!) and shopping trip - on your own :eek:

    Thank You re: Lucy :cool:

    Funny that, OH's cousin had a baby a few months before I gave birth to Keira and called her Grace - I remember thinking to myself (I was 18!) "What a horrible old grandma name for a baby!" I'd only ever encountered one Grace during school, and she kinda resembled an old woman anyways! Her second daughter she called Jessica and I had no idea that was popular!

    Me and Keira got to bed at 4am :eek: everytime she lay down she'd get into a boufing fit, so folded a pillow over and gave her mine, and that seemed to help but she couldn't drop off for ages. So she isn't going to nursery today either!

    Must remember to post letters back to C2C, hopefully get a refund for the tickets I'm not using. My friend isn't talking to me either now about that, but so what, not going to leave Keira if she is very ill am I!

    Managed to get her to eat some cocopops a while ago, not very healthy but it's the first thing she has eaten since yesterday breakfast time.
