Vintage queen!

 

[dreamofabean]

I really am! Lol.
Dh and I were looking at blazers today and he said 'yeah but I prefer the vintage ones' had to laugh: I've created a monster

 

[Lolly1985]

But a super trendy one!!

 

[dreamofabean]

Lol, dunno If I'd go that far!! Ha ha!

Lola that is so frustrating. I wonder what happened? Sorry you are going through all this.

I love vintage/shabby chic things! Our weddin was a lovely mix of rustic charm & shaby chic!!
Ah i wish we had anotherday in the weekend! X

Today we have decided on little lady's future middle name. We went round in circles, the ones I liked he didn't and vice versa. In the end DF said what about your middle name? That way she will always have that connection to her mummy. How sweet!! We have decided against changing the spelling of her first name too. So this way she will have her first name from her birth parents, middle name from her mummy and surname from her daddy. Perfect xxx

 

[dreamofabean]

Aww just perfect we decided to go with family names too if all goes ahead our little man will have his grandad's name as middle name. Any future girls we may poss have will have my nan's name as their middle name

 

[Lolly1985]

That's lovely Dream, it's so special being able to give family names. I hope it will truly make her feel part of the family. My middle name is my paternal grandmothers name, who died when my dad was only 16, so it's really special too!

 

[dreamofabean]

I think it's lovely I thought the same too, it'd give them that link to the family beyond just the surname

Well we are busy bees at home at the moment dh is busy filling walls where we had a leak and I'm faffing in little man's room! I've hung his wicker star on the curtain pole and an currently threading fishing wire onto the ribbon mobile so we can hang that up over the cot can't wait to see the room all finished! Eek!!

 

[Lolly1985]

We are all sorted then, just need our babies home!! xx

 

[Lolly1985]

Just seen your post Dream, sounds like all is coming together nicely! I have mobile envy as little pink doesn't have one yet, I keep looking though and that's fun! Can't wait until you have the nursery done, how exciting!!!

 

[dreamofabean]

Lol, mine is typical of me! I'm sure it's not everyone's taste but its an embroidery ring covered with lengths of ribbon hanging, it's very quirky but I love it! I'm sure you will find one that you like soon ours obv doesn't make any sound but I want to get one of those fisher price seahorse glowing toys for his cot so that will have a light on and music

 

[Lolly1985]

Ahhh sounds lovely hun because it has the personal touch I haven't seen the seahorses.... off to look now! What I have seen is large fabric letters which I LOVE for the wall above her cot. Can choose different patterns for each letter, too cute!

 

[dreamofabean]

Sounds lovely I bought wooden letters off eBay and got the whole alphabet, I then covered them in pages from popular stories I love the personal touch! Her name above her cot sounds lush

 

[aimze]

Awww ladies you are so so close! I'm so excited for you! X

 

[Lolly1985]

That sounds fab!! I also saw giant scrabble tiles and thought of you!!

 

[LolaM]

We are going to change baby boys name completly, modifying his first name and using it as one of his middle names. We are hoping to come up with a name that fits well with my husbands name so we can use daddys name as a middle name, its a tradition in his family and i want to keep it as best i can, since no one will ever be confused that we didnt give birth to the child.

 

[dreamofabean]

It's nice you're sticking with a family tradition Lola x
