IS anyone struggling with names? We have two maybe three potentials for our little man but when I was at home nearly everyone hates them and spent most of the time trying to suggest alternatives. Kind of offended me a little because we clearly havent set out to name our little boy something that's gonna annoy him for the rest of his life.

We have our name for our little man. But we decided early on not to tell anyone to avoid this issue. If they don't like it by the time he arrives, it's too late because that's his name. I don't care what people think to be honest. We haven't chosen something really common, but haven't chosen anything weird either - or anything that would make his initials silly.

One of ours is towards the end of the top 40 names and is relatively normal I think. The other is French origin but cool in a geeky way. My mum
Is all your son will have I live with that name for the rest of his life. It's not like we want to call him
Spaceshipbum-face it's a normal name!!!!

At the end of the day it's not her child. I would never call a child what half my relatives are called - some because they are weird and some because they are just horrible (including my name). But times move on. I'm quite vocal, I'd tell her if she wants to name something to get a dog!! But then I can be rather direct. lol

Lol good advice hun. It just puts doubt into my head oh perhaps I should just go for something boring if you know what I mean.

Argh legs really restless tonight struggling to drop off

We have a shortlist for each, and we're not telling anyone what the names are, beacause we don't want anyone else's opinions! All our names are real traditional English names, just a little more uncommon than some it's your baby, go with what you like. I have a slightly unusual/rare name, and I love that I hardly ever meet another one

Hello everyone,

Survived day 1 - daytime tv is really pants isn't it!!

AMC lovely to hear from you, its funny we've also painted bubbas room in a soft yellow colour. We've done everything you could do to the room, new plaster, new ceiling, even new dividing wall between that room and the big bedroom which we'll be moving into shortly. We bought our house last august and are slowly doing it up room by room! Love your lightshade. We've been a lot less imaginative and just bought a fairly neutral one from Homebase. We've also just invested in a lovely new washing machine. The previous one was an old one that came with the house, the new one has a huge 9k drum. Its fantastic!!

Hubby has given me orders to pack my hospital bag today, its part packed but still need to buy a few more bits. I guess he is just starting to get worried about the whole thing!! Ive already bought maternity pads and disposable nippple pads from Boots. I know some friends went and bought loads of these, ive decided to only buy enough to get me through the first couple of days and then will buy more. I should know by then if they are ok!

Today i've got a bit more of a busy day. The nursery furniture is due to be delivered and also got midwife appoint. Wanting to get into the birthing centre at the hospital but need to have an assessment done. Pregnancy been low risk throughout so far, except a mini panic when we thought the baby was breech. After scan last week we found out he is now in the correct head down position!! phew...

Vicky - We were told at 34wk midwife appointment that baby was lying head up breech. We tried everything to get him to move. At 36wk appoint midwife still wasn't sure where his head was (and I was convinced he was still breech). Went for scan and surprise surprise he'd moved into correct position. We'd already decided we were not going to have the ECV if thats what it came down to, to get him to move. I'd accepted that we were looking at caesarian. Friends have had this and it doesn't sound too bad. We did however try everything to get him to move, including putting frozen peas on his head! shinning a light a bottom of pelvis, bum in the air positions and hubby talking to bump (that one i loved!!). There is still plenty of time for bubba to move!

RJH - We decided ages ago on the name for our little man. His middle name will be same as his grandad's and we've just gone for a popular name for his first name. We'd done the modern thing and told everyone what we'd decided. Hoping he doesn't turn out to be a she as we'll end up back to square one! Although saying that we'd seen his "jimmy rodger" on the 20wk scan, so i'd be very surprised if he turned out to be a girl! lol

I have 400 - pampers and huggies sizes 1, 2 and 3. Only spent 50p though lol

How many size 1 you have?

Can't believe you spent just 50p on nappies:money:?!?!?! I know you said that you managed to print twice the asda voucher (I couldn't :mad:. Did you press back and printed again?) plus your hubby. How you got the rest for free?

I only got one voucher and my OH got one voucher hun, but you could try another laptop if you have one and see if that will let you print? You get coupons from things like the Bounty pack, huggies club let you print off vouchers from their website and now and again also do a giveaway for full packs of nappies, and the pampers you need to buy for the Boots parenting club changing bag I got free cos of a 342 offer. I just saved coupons and waited for special offers to come.

Pampers size 1 - 54
Huggies size 1- 135
Pampers size 2 - 62
Pampers size 3 - 95
Huggies size 3 - 54

I didn't get many size 2 because the sizes overlap - size 1 are 4-11lb size 2 are 6-13lb and size 3 are 9-20lb

This is the stuff I got with the boots parent club vouchers and it cost me £5 give or take a few pence.
