Hi, welcome!

I've just spent hours moving more stuff from my old house to my new house. It's made my new house a tip!! I have no idea where its gona go! I'm in agony now though. Overdid it again!! :-/ not much left to move now, thank god!

I've started to totally stress about everything that we need to do before baby is here! Feel like its a growing list even though we're getting through it!

How you all been today?

Hello I'm due 29 March. How have you been keeping? I think most of us in here are suffering from the later stages of pregnancy

We have had quite a good day. Went for an all day brekki for lunch, followed by a wee trip to b&q for a bulb then popped into asda and got some new born nappies and Kaiden a new toothbrush since he dropped his last one down the lou also picked up a pack of cheap pants that I can just sling in the bin for the hospital.

I spent the day dozing on the couch watching Big Bang Theory

Nursery still hasn't been touched Technically there is no hurry since baby won't be in there for about another 8 months but it would be nice to get the stuff out of the dining room so we can start using that room again!

I'm doing a 9-5 shift tomorrow. I haven't done one of them since August I did 10-3s last week. I'm going to be pooped!!

Shaun's cousin Lucy was baptised today and it got me thinking about Alex. We don't plan on having him christened since neither of us is religious in any way and it would be a bit hypocritical. I think people who have christenings when they don't believe in god tend to do it for the party more than anything, which is totally fine...but not for us. Shaun was baptised at 5 weeks old (his Dad's family are Catholics and Shaun has been to Mass every week since birth) and he wore the most beautiful gown I had made for him. It's a total heirloom I am sure he will have his children baptised in it but it has made me feel a bit sad that Alex won't get to wear it lol. That's no reason to have a christening though. Are any of you getting your LO's christened/baptised or having some kind of naming ceremony?

 

[bbymc]

I think we'll hav a naming ceremony. Maybe a christening, but I doubt hat since neither of us is very religious. All depends on cost though cos we wana save for a wedding too

We toyed with the idea of a naming ceremony for about 5 seconds. I mentioned it to Stephen as I wasn't sure if he knew it was an option or not. He asked the cost, I looked it up and it was £140 - £250 just for the celebrant!

Don't think so somehow lol!

 

[bbymc]

Hmmm, yeah, we'll prob not bother then lol

 

[Kaybee]

Kaiden hasn't been christened/baptised and neither will DS2. And never thougt about a naming ceremony to be honest.....I will just be glad to have a name for him

BTW I love big bang! we are currently watching toy story for the second time today

 

[lj2245]

I could play a part in Toy Story lol. That and Finding Nemo!

 

[bbymc]

Still no agreement on names yet Karen?

 

[Kaybee]

Not seen finding nemo yet. He has been watching astroboy for the last week or so. Toy story is a nice wee change. Before that it was bolt!

Still not agreed on a name.

 

[lj2245]

I'm surprised we managed to agree on a name if I'm honest. I had images of baby being a month old and still nameless!! Or worse, called Rudy! I still have an annoying feeling that we will go off Alexander! I think that's because Shaun's Dad had his heart set on Jack and I agreed to begin with but by the time Shaun was born I was sick of it. Stephen said he wanted to call our son Jack and I laughed...Jack Japp...can you imagine?

Do you have a shortlist or some names you agree on? How did you name Kaiden? Was he named before birth or after?

 

[Kaybee]

With Kaiden I had a shortlist of names and Dave didn't like any of them and I kept saying you come up with something and then one day he said he did have a name but wasn't going to tell me until he was born. Anyway, I need to know everything so he finally caved into my nagging and told me a coupe of weeks before my due date and I loved it. He picked it because it was using some of the letters from both our names. I had never heard it before but of course heard it a few times now.

This time he likes the name Cody and I like it but dont love it....well not yet anyway.

 

[lj2245]

Aww that's so sweet I like name stories like that I suggested Shaun about 5 minutes after he was born and the woman stitching me up looked up and said 'My son is called Shaun' and that was that, lol.

Not as nice as your story

I like Cody

Stephen's bad influence friend's brother had a baby last week and they named him Clark. Not sure if I like it or not. I keep thinking of Clark Kent (Stephen and I are Superhero Geeks).

 

[Cherrybump]

Lol i read all those 4 pages and forgot everything i wanted to say . hope your all having lovely weekend thought.

Sorry to hear about the husband being little pain lol.

xx

 

[Kaybee]

Clark makes me think of Clark Kent too but also still think of it as mainly a last name. although in saying that I do kinda like it.

Cherry I do that too.

 

[bbymc]

Cody is nice my friend's wee boy's called Cody.

I just washed and tumble dried some baby stuff, not a clue how, but I've lost 3 mitts out of 2 pairs lol.

 

[lj2245]

Haha Any chance they have been pulled into the filter of either your washer or drier? I managed to break a washing machine with one of Shaun's trainer socks one year I try to remember to put them in pillow cases now.

 

[bbymc]

Never checked that. I'll go look. I did actually stick my head in both the machines, but there was nothing.
