    Don't say that!! OH jokes I'll be one of those women you hear about that keeps having babies until they have a boy. :( I think Ralph and Jack might suit girls.. or Macy and Emmi! I don't know why, but I've always pictured myself with 2 little boys. Bit weird really!

    I always pictured myself with girls! I wouldn't be without Max for the world though!

    I keep having a recurring nightmare where we have 3 boys, the youngest one who for some reason I know is called Phybus goes evil and eats his brothers... he'd already eaten his way out my belly.... I've been having it for about 3 months now and it's kind of freaking me out. My brain is clearly terrified of being surrounded by little boys!

    Lol I have a list, staggering Phybus isn't on it! NIM and I are already agreed on what we'll call our first born, including middle name, and it's not even a twinkle in an eye yet. When I was a child I wanted 19 children when I grew up, luckily I've scalled back my plans now.

    That's a pretty scary dream Dinah! And Phybus?!?!?

    I want one of each flavour, no idea what we'll do if we get 2 of the same...I don't want an odd number, I don't want 4 kids but I do want boys and girls! Fingers crossed we get what we want! :)

    Lol I'm exactly the same Birdie, I want one of each and I'm going to keep going till I get them! I'd quite like 4, but 3 seems more manageable, but then again even numbers makes it easier on days out....

    Wanting 19 children is scarier than Phybus eating his brothers!

    I am finished after having this one so whatever it is, it is!

    Not to mention the whole middle child thing... BIL is such a tool because he's got this whole middle child *thing*, I couldn't deal with that! So if we had to keep going after 2 we'd have to carry on for 4, but that really does seem like an awful lot of small people!

    Oh, you beat me then! I used to want 12. With Triple H. Or Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. Which is worrying. Not as worrying as that dream though :eek:

    We were a family of 5, and it is very weird on days out! It always used to be a family ticket, and an extra for me. I always felt left out! I remember once my Mum won a family ticket to a theme park. And I had to queue for my own ticket. Fetch the tiny violins! I'd love 4 kids, but theres the money side. I guess we'll all see what happens. At least we have the choice of being very choosy in our heads :D

    I always wanted a girl so am happy but i want a boy next! I would like 3 but we will see what happens. I can see us ending up with 3 girls.

    Dinah - that nightmare is so funny, obviously not if it was real.

    Cinny - my best friend had that furniture at uni and lastedquite well so would be good for a spare room.

    Just found out OH has managed to get 2 weeks off for Christmas apart from new year which he has to work due to all the drunk people hehe. Really pleased we can spend Poppys first Christmas together.
