    Anyone started snoring? My DP is not happy with me... I'm just so snotty, I'm snoring really badly, the doctor has prescribed me with beconase but its not working yet. He might relegate himself to the spare room if it gets any worse.

    I just tell him it's his baby thats making me like this!

    It is the baby... all those relaxing hormones and increased mucus production leads to floppier throat muscles and excess snot! plus the extra pressure on the diaphragm.. it is a very unflattering condition lol

    Congratulations Mimi and Keeley!

    I've got another 6 weeks to wait before I find out. We're doing well thinking of girl names but struggling with boys names that we both like. Not helped by a couple of people we know having boys in the last few weeks, both of whom have chosen names we'd already liked. I'm predicting a boy too, just because it would be typical that was the gender we're struggling with names for!

    Same here. We had a boy's name all sorted and picked out, girls name was always going to be an issue, pretty much guaranteed team oink didn't it :rotfl:

    We had a name, complete with middle name, and now I find out my friend is planning on using the middle name for her baby, who will be born in the next few days. Back to square one for us!! :(

    It's OK, you don't have to take him with you, just choose a name yourself and bob's your uncle :)

    If it helps, thus far this one doesn't have a name either. I have firmly said he can have the first name he wanted as a middle name as he wants to name it after my friend, and middle names are more fitting as tributes imo.

    It was handy though last time, we just told them that they were going to get a baby sister and that this was her name. Saved them trying to name her Isabella Jasmine Cailtlyn Fairy or something equally daft.

    I quite like Jasmine.. lol.. I have a J though.. :p

    Tiddles has KHs grandmothers middle name as her middle name.. she hated a first name and loved the middle name so she was so pleased we gave Tiddles it too.. it isnt even too horrific.. though her first name was Marjorie which she wasnt getting!

    I knew someone who gave her twin girls the names of the 2 grandmothers as middle names.. now.. Ann is fine.. but the other was Maud!!!! how mean is that?

    this one cannot have my grandmother names because of OHs surname.. it would sound like a deranged mouse far too many eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
