My husband was actually more upset about it than me as we've had it picked since DD was born. He swears he told them the name so was upset that they plan to use it.

I am okay with it, it's a beautiful name and will be beautiful for both the kids!

 

[Katiie]

Edward George is the middle names

My son is:
Cameron
Christopher - After my partner/his dad
Michael - After my dad
Wood - Daddy's last name

This one will POSSIBLY be
Oliver
Edward - After my partners dad
George - After my grandad
Wood - Daddy's surname

Hahaha I didn't know there was an Oliver Wood in Harry potter!!! It must be alright to use then haha

As for using 2 names in the same family, we have discussed it, but Chris (my partner) isn't keen.
Coz I love the names Harry, Freddie and he loves William.
But that's all his nephews names!

With any luck I'll have a girl. We've had this picked since before Cameron!

 

[Baileeboo77]

I love Oliver!

 

[ksilme]

I love the name Oliver too, that was my boys name along with Ruben but hubby liked Jowan - we really couldn't agree so lucky we having a girly really, and Zoey was never mentioned until after the scan, hubby suggested it, and I liked it and the more we thought about it, the more it seemed right xx

I think you look pregnant too Katiie
In a way, I wish people were saying I look small, my auntie called me a walrus!! lol, she was joking though, she is bipolar

One lady who I saw for the first time at beginning of December said, whilst looking at bump 'oh you are going to have a big baby aren't you'
when I replied, that i don't feel very big but think she will be 8 and half - 9 lbs (based on mine and hubbys birth weights and other babies in family) she looked at me and said, you're quite small!! as if I was making out I am bigger than normal, she said it in quite a catty way she was the one who implied I was big lol
pic is 34+1

I like Oliver too And I definitely think you look pregnant!! Will try to upload my latest bump pic in a minute.
We're technically waiting for little man to get here to see what he looks like but I think we're pretty much decided on Rufus as a first name.
His middle name will be Samuel which is DH's name but also the name of DH's best friend who sadly died a couple of years ago so in his memory

 

[baby1wanted]

This was me a couple of days ago with exactly one month to go

[Katiie]

You can't go on how much you and your OH weighed!
We thought my son would be 8-9lb as i was 8lb 8oz and my partner was 10lb!!!

Yet out popped our little Cameron at 7lb 8oz!

 

[ksilme]

I just have a feeling she will be a bigger baby, and read some research that says the weights of the parents and previous babies in the family play a significant part on the size of a baby obviously there are always exceptions i would lobe for her to be smaller though would be nice to have a little baby in the family xx

 

[Katiie]

Even at 10lb she will seem teeny
I gauntee it.

 

[Neversaynever]

Loving the bumpage pics ladies

Had another growth scan this morning EFW is currently 6lb 12oz my boy was only 6lb 8oz born at 38 weeks

I deffo think this is another boy too so name wise we are stuck, we struggled agreeing on Louis (was my number one choice but hubby wasn't convinced) but he gave in the day before we had him

Baby no name

XxX

 

[ksilme]

Even at 10lb she will seem teeny
I gauntee it.

I do agree with that, our friends baby was 10lb 4oz and even though he was bigger than most, he still seemed tiny x
OMG I actually cannot wait til she is here now, it still feels so surreal though :/ I can't imagine actually having a baby lol
hubby told me today that I have been aggressive the past couple of days I asked how, apparently he meant last night, but as I said to him, try sleeping with a watermelon strapped to your belly, your hips feeling like they are breaking when lying on them, being so uncomfortable that you can't lay still for more than 5 minutes and everytime you drift off, something wakes you up, and instead of half waking up and dozing off again, every time you wake up, you are suddenly wide awake and can't get back to sleep for hours Think he understands now xx

 

[allforthegirl]

you just reminded me of my dream LOL

I was dreaming about something then abruptly the dream changed to where I could physically feel my bowels going back up like a snake invading my digestive system. I was not pg in this dream either. I was freaking out about it moving farther and farther up. Then when I woke up, it was my monkey rolling his feet around my ribs. So weird.

 

[3xBlessed]

My husband is hoping the baby is smaller than our sons. He jokes that we never had a newborn at home bc they came home looking two months old (they were 9lbs 12oz & 9lbs 2oz). My friends all have these tiny little 6 pounders. Lol.

 

[MamaBear93]

Mama bear I know what you mean about going crazy, I'm driving everyone up the wall. The nursery is practically done so that doesn't leave me much to do in hit here until the furniture and pram etc. arrives next Friday. I've not bought that many clothes as I'm bored of yellow, cream and white. I also had a mini panic attack over what I actually need in terms of dressing baby, how many baby grows,vests etc should I have for the first few weeks?

I honestly have no idea how many you "should" have but I know I have quite a bit of clothes just because I am an organizer/planner I have got at least 14 changes of clothes lined up to ensure I am not wrapping her in blankets when she has a diaper explosion because I was too tired to wash clothes lol I have a three year old and a husband who might as well be a three year old, actually I take that back my three year old helps around the house more often haha. My fault though I spoiled him because I have always been a SAHM and done all the child caring for and house cleaning, also cleaning up after and feeding of our three dogs.

I don't think there is a set number. I just think to myself I always have at least one washed pair of clothes in the diaper bag, one on hand in the living room along with extra diapers and wipes for daytime changes, and at least 2 pairs of clothes for each day of the week just in case, you have the days where you have explosions and days where you don't

Lol I hope that helps a little...I just kinda always made sure I had bunches in at least the first three sizes good luck!

 

[Katiie]

I only have 2 first size/newborn sleepsuits.
Cameron was only in them a few weeks! Xx

 

[Katiie]

Will hVing a nasty (and I mean nasty) cold reduce baby's movements?

Since I've been ill baby has had a lot of reduced movements...
I don't get anywhere near what I used to x

Maybe, but I would go get checked to be safe.

My DS had been estimated at 10 lbs so we had only had one or two 'newborn' outfits for him when he was born, and the rest were 0 - 3 months. He was 'only' 8lbs 2oz but NONE of the 0 - 3 month stuff fit him, he was swimming in it! It took a good 3 - 4 weeks before he could even start wearing the other sizes and in the meantime DH had to run out and buy a bunch of things just to get some clothes that fit...


...this time I went a little overboard and have like 20 outfits in 'newborn' size This LO is measuring a little small so hopefully they'll fit her a while!

 

[allforthegirl]

It honestly won't matter how heavy your babies are if then fit in newborn sleepers, it is all about the length of baby. You can still have a close to 9lbs baby and fit in newborn stuff if he/she is only 18" long. If baby is long say 22" then yah he/she won't fit in newborn stuff for more than a day or two until they stretch out more.
