  • Oh Becles - just noticed that you're in County Durham! I grew up in Darlington (and my parents still live near there) though have been down in the deepest South for about 16 years now. (Still feel like a Northerner though)

    Congrats Benmollymoo!

    Hope all was straightforward and you can name your little bundle soon. My nephew is called Lewis - fine name! Although Leo is also very lovely.

    Can't believe how hard it is this time(baby no 3!)

    I'm having baby number 3 and we can't think of any names that we both like either, but have got till May till decide. I like Leo and Lewis though - both nice names.

    William is my favourite boys name, but our surname starts with W and I'm not sure if it sounds right. Hubby thinks it would cause willy jokes at school too :rolleyes:

    I'm further north - near Durham, but I do get to the Darlington area now and again with work. Nice place to live :cool:
    Here I go again on my own....

    Just adding myself to the now HUGE list of expectant mums, I'm in there on 2nd March.
    Have found Dorothy Perkins to be really good for cheap maternity clothes. It always says to buy in your normal size as the adjustments are already made for you which is such a load of rubbish! I'm a size 10-12 normally and anything I tried on in a size 10 was like a tent. Found some size 8 maternity jeans in DP's which still had to be pulled in loads on the elastic and buttons bits they have in them, and had to shorten them via the miracle that is wundaweb(I'm only 5ft!). But hey, pregnant and a size 8? How chuffed was I!!!!

    Just wondering what I'm going to do when I no longer qualify for this thread. :cry:

    It's been an invaluable source of ideas, support and money-saving and it occurs to me that we should have the logical extension in the form of the MSE Parent Club. Do people think this will be useful?

    I'll happily start a new thread when I qualify (EDD 23/12) but there may be people who want to get started sooner.

    If I've been dim and missed an existing one, please post the link so I can add it to my favourites!

    Leni - you've been quiet for a few days. Hope you've got your new little bundle of joy!

    just wanted to say i agree with the mse parent club
  • Hi, I thought I'd join you all! My name is Louise. I am married with a dd aged 1. We have been TTC since August, so hopefully I can move soon to EDD! Fell instantaneously with DD, so this 'trying for a baby' thing is all a bit weird!
