lol squeaks ftw lol

my mothers partner's surname is bates so there used to be a few issues when mail came for the kids and was adressed officially.
my new surname will be a boys name so i need to try and make sure it will fit in with that and my sister (seriously i am sure she did it just to annoy me) her stepkids have the two girls names that i loved so now i am back to square one however for a boy i like edward, but then oh says its too old fassioned, i am liking harry at the moment but i think it will be quite common because of harry potter, i want something original but useable.


lilly, who is four, wants the baby to be called fairy twinkerbell or toffie pie because she loves them both (i cried at that, hormonal old woman)

I knew there would be at least 1 geek here

Edward is a nice traditional Royalist name.. and not over-used.. my grandad was Edward he got called Ted. How about Henry instead of Harry?

There are predicted LOADS of Williams this year..

OHs mum wanted us to use John/Jonathon as a middle name.. for a boy obv.. as it is his dads name.. I said no outright.. far too dull .. so she whinged.. but OH doesnt like it either! lol We have briefly discussed using his grandmothers or grandfathers names as middle names (Ruth and Nicoh.. he was Nicholas but I vetod that as it was my nephews name who was killed in a motorbike accident a couple of years ago aged 21) .. well.. it wasnt discussed I asked if he would like to and he shrugged...

My grandparents names dont work with OHs surname... way too many EEEEEEEEEEEes.. and they aint good!

I love Edward, it makes me think of very polite little boys, then Eddie as a kind teenager and adult, and back to Edward for a gentle Grandad.
I know.. I'm strange.

You don't have to send your MATB1 in with your formal notice of requesting maternity leave. You can submit the MATB1 at anytime. You won't receive any maternity pay until they receive it though. Don't think any employer would be too sticky regarding the 15 weeks notice as some woman dont know they are pregnant till late in the pregnancy, plus babies can arrive early.

Doctors can give you a MATB1, it certainly doesn't have to be a midwife.

Harry i love that name, yeah i am the geeky one unfortunatley, its what you get for writing code all day and talking to internet geeks all the time, you use the lingo in everyday life.. altho quite funny when i told them i was pregnant they said dave had uploaded on my hard drive and i had a ddos on my server.. (that will mean nothing to any of you i dont think)

i am still loving edward, and why i am not looking at girls names i dont know, i am convinced this is going to be a boy

OH said yesterday what will we do if this one is not a geek and wants to do sport?... I said take it back to the hospital and bring home the correct baby!

put it like this.. when Squeak was born she has a red birthmark on her hand... you know the point on the outer edge of your palm where you rest your hand on the mosemat.. THAT is permanent!! i have a pic i think... one sec...
