Thank you ladies for the well wishes. My tummy feels okay today, but I have a horrible sore throat. I think I'm just having a spot of bad luck health-wise lately, I really do! It's just mad! Either that or I'm turning into a chronic hypochondriac....*swallows*...ouch...no, my throat really is sore, it's not in my head lol.
Goodness knows what was up with my tum yesterday though. Perhaps I ate something dodgy without realising.
caro - I hope your cough clears up soon. It's not fun having a long-lasting cold.
sue - cool your first big purchases
exciting
libbysmum - cute bump pic!
abagail - ooh I love the jungle themed stuff!
oneandtwo - awww I love the pictures! your boys are so cute! bless your oldest lol, I'm sure he'll come around to the idea of another brother once the little one is born. He'll think he's cute
And wahey for feeling the baby move!
aaisrie - lovely scan pic. so sorry about your car, that sucks.
breadsticks - awww you have such a teeny sweet little bump. there is one there, it's just little. I'm jealous to be honest, mine is big, I wish it wasn't - I feel like a roly poly pudding!
but speaking of roly poly puddings - mmmmm pancakes. I love pancakes. Though I assume you mean American (Scotch) type pancakes. I prefer what we call pancakes (crepes). NOM NOM I could seriously eat pancakes right now!
Your stroller sounds nice
donna - so glad you're feeling better
tsy - oh dear! Seems we're all having bowel issues! I hope the constipation clears up soon.
and yum at thai food
pink flowers - oh no I'm sorry you're suffering from awful m/s
I hope it passes soon. That sucks about your pelvis too. I hope the physio sorts it out
missfox - very pleased your doctor found the heartbeat, even if it did take a while
becca - wow what a lot going on. Your poor daughter being sick
It's awful when kids are poorly, you want to help them but there's not that much you can do. I hope she feels better soon and you enjoy yourselves at the beach. And how exciting about feeling the baby!
sw33t - yay for feeling/seeing the baby move
libbysmum - how nice for you and your dh to spend some time together. I hope he doesn't get called in.
Well my further news is that my mam text me today telling me she's bought us a highchair for £5 as apparently "we'll need it". Oh dear. Well I had to ring her and tell her that's very nice of her but we already have one that Jason only stopped using last year. It's a booster thing that you strap to a regular dining chair - it's really good. It's about the only baby thing we hadn't gotten rid of. So she says she's gonna try take it back to the shop (but as it was a second hand shop she's not sure they'll take it). *sigh*
She means well but I do wish she'd ask about things like that before buying them. We have no room for a full sized high chair, which is why we bought a booster thinggy in the first place.
My mam does odd things though. She went on and on and on about this GORGEOUS sleepsuit she bought for the baby (for about 10p because it was, again, from a second hand shop), and when she gave us it, it was a sleepsuit for a preemie. Weighing up to 7lbs.
Now, bear in mind that all my children were VERY overdue, and not one of them weighed less than 10lbs.
You get the idea!
Like I said, she means well, but she doesn't quite think these things through lol.
We're re-thinking our girl's name. We had Athena Adeline but now DH says he prefers Callisto.
I
like Callisto - I'm a huge Xena Warrior Princess fan, and that's the name of one of the main characters in it, and I do like the name....BUT...
I can't help wondering if it sounds a little masculine with the O at the end of it. Even though logically I know the ancient Greek myth behind it was about a female nymph (Kallisto) who got turned into a bear and sent up to the sky and became the constellation Ursa Major (the Great Bear).
So it
is a female name, but I wonder if other people might think it's a boy's name if they are unfamiliar with the legend and all that.
So I'm wondering if Callista might be better. I like Callista. DH does too but he prefers Callisto.
And then I'm wondering about middle names. Now I said it would be nice to stick to our original first name choice of Athena, but then if we use my idea of Callista, it would be Callista Athena and that's a bit hard to say because it would be running the A at the end of Callista into the A at the start of Athena.
So DH pointed out that Callisto Athena flows better.
But I still think that Callisto sounds more masculine than Callista. And somehow Callista just sounds that little bit prettier to my ear.
Any thoughts ladies? I'm struggling here lol.
So cute!
