12 to 24 week pregnancy thread

I like Freddie and Alfie but I have such a huge extended family and we already have those. Not sure how people would feel if I called the baby the same as theirs!! It's tricky when there's about 30 names I can't use!!

I know how you feel there, we are in much the same position, I have 29 nieces and nephews and 4 god children, and a s a result the whole name thing has been a nightmare!

We picked 2 long before I fell pregnant, and now we are waivering on them, we liked Maddison Grace Harriet for a girl and Oscar Harry for a boy (Our surname begins with an M and so OH thinks it would be funny to have the initials OHM for the boy as even though OH is now a teacher, he was an electrician for 20 years, and teaches electrical installation now) I just think most people won't get it lol.

I like Max a lot, but OH thinks that with our "M" surname it would sound like some American TV reporter or news reader lol. x

Work is mental too - but according to my spreadsheet I now have 82 working days left until Mat Leave - if all goes to plan lol, so that isn't too bad!

Is anyone else permanently hungry - I am!!! It is driving me mad, am eating like a horse, but still not gained any weight, I have lost weight every week until now, but stayed the same this week, so maybe this is the turning point??

Ooh when do you finish work? Do you work full time? 82 days doesn't sound like much!

I'm hungry all morning but not as much once I've had my lunch and I've gone off my food a bit again now so I'm struggling to know what I fancy to eat.

BJD isn't that close to us unfortunately, fairly close to my work but not that close to home.

Yeah I work full time unfortunately, I have told them I will be finishing on 23rd March, so the 83 days are only working days, have taken out my holiday, weekends, christmas etc lol - can you tell I am looking forward to it?

I am with you on struggling to know what to eat, all my faves are no longer faves and smells make me a little queasy, although not had any actual sickness at all all the way through - so consider myself very very lucky.

Ah shame she isn't close, would have been nice to have a network of new mums to rely on lol

How many weeks are you Snoopy? I will be 17 tomorrow and am hungry all the time but so far have been lucky to just go from 8.5 to 8.8 stone and that is just baby belly. In maternity trousers or leggings all the time now

Am less stressed about the money and childcare situation today, We would actually only be £187 short a month of covering all our outgoings if OH gave up work all together so what will will try and do is get him down to a three day week (they have been making redundencies anyway) and between family members we should be able to cover childcare on the days he works.

We are REALLY struggling for boys names, I like Freddie but that is my nephews name. I love Jack, Jake, Harry and Oliver but think there would be loads of kids in the class with the same name. At the moment we are going towards Flynn as we dont know any one with that name. For a girl I would definately like either Darcie or Daisy, but would probably go for Darcie as my OH isn't keen on Dasiy

My moods have been fine so far, though I do find I get a bit teary if I think about the baby (happy teary though) :0)

I have to go to work afterwards but we will take our time getting there. I am lucky that for some reason I dont need a full bladder at the hospital I am going to, just as well as I am constantly going at the moment lol! Are you going to kind out which team you are on x
