Anyone else had really inappropriate comments about their pregnancy yet?!
I'm surprised that I haven't had any comments about a December due date yet. I bet they'll come closer to the end of my pregnancy. So far I haven't had any inappropriate comments, except two strangers (both were cashiers at stores and at different times) telling me that I should be done having kids now that I have a boy and a girl. I'm always polite, but come on - what makes you think you can tell someone when they're done, and why base it 100% on gender? Their faces when I tell them that we plan on 2-4 more are always funny though!
I don't think Dec babies are in any way cruel, I'm gonna have 2 of them after all but we have said from being pregnant with ds1 that if he wants to have his birthday on his half birthday instead when he's older he can if he wants to break up the gifts and stuff.
I've done a crazy week at work, def over did it cos I felt so I'll on Friday - won't be doing that again
That's an interesting idea, to have it on their half birthday! I don't think I'd be able to do that, as it would fall around my daughter's birthday party then, but interesting idea. I think he will be born around the 18-20th, but when we do parties I plan to have them in the first week of December or so. Far enough away to separate it from all the Christmas parties but close enough where it still works.
Has everyone settled on names? Me and DH are thinking of swapping one of the first names we love for something rarer but that we still really like. What would you do? Decisions, decisions...
We've been settled for months and have been calling this baby Will since we found out. My husband picked it out, and while I wasn't crazy at all about it before, it's actually grown a lot on me and I've become really attached to it. It really feels like his name. My favorite boy name is Vincent Atticus, which DH agreed to use next time. I tried calling this baby by that name and it just didn't fit! He clearly is not my Vincent.
I know some ppl don't name their baby till after they're born as they might not 'look like a...' but IMO babies grow into their name. I could never imagine my son being called something else now.
I really never understood that idea. To me, a squishy baby looks like most other squishy newborn babies. They change so drastically. I don't think they really look like any certain name as a newborn, and if they did, with how much they change there's no telling if they'd still look like that name. We choose what we feel in our heart as the perfect name and what just feels right and stick with that.
yes im really feeling the bump ache, can feel it stretching now, getting to that uncomfortable stage! our baby girl is going to be Holly Mae, i wanted something to reflect her being born at christmas but nothing too weird so we're going with Holly, although had i been having a boy it wouldve been Ben, not christmassy at all! but there were no nice christmas names for a boy, and i really didnt want a Noel or a Jesus!
We were going to do a Christmasy/wintery middle name had this been a girl. She was going to be Cecelia Snow and we were going to call her Cece Snow. But now that it's a boy, there's no Christmasy name. I just don't like boy Christmas names!
