June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[Boo44]

Oo I've missed so much! We went out for a meal with friends last night. So many team blues!! Congratulations all, sons are wonderful! I am quite disappointed actually that we won't get to use our boy name, Asa. This little lady is most likely iur last baby, and I really love the name especially paired with our son's name, Micah.

I think we're probably going with Tabitha for this baby, although Heidi and Cora are also on the table.

I can't keep track of who posted which name choices but I particularly love Arthur, Gabriel and Hugo

Sounds like you've had a lovely evening/morning angel!

Arthur and Hugo are my two names the ones I can't decide between at the moment! I think Jack Freddie and Arthur sound like three nice brothers

I know what everyone means about not getting to use a name you love - this baby would have been Ivy and I'm sad I won't get to use it! However, Jack was going to be Daisy and Freddie was going to be Lily, so I can't like it THAT much if I change every time iykwim! I felt strongly when I was pregnant last time that if I didn't get to use Freddie I'd be really disappointed

Angel I love Cora! It's very pretty and goes nicely with Micah. Asa is a cool name, you never know one day you may get to use it... It's just the thought of going through first tri again, I know I couldn't do it!!

Just a flying visit as we are in our favourite reateraunt having some lunch. We went for the scan and the baby is really healthy, or should I say HE is healthy. We are having a boy. He wasn't very cooperative and was facing my placenta but we got a few nice bottom shots

Hope you're all well and look forward to catching up later.

wow congrats!!!!!!!

Congratulations Lavochain!
Our scan went well, baby very cooperative and all the measurements were good.
Well we are also on the BLUE team
Had to buy a few bits after the scan.

congrats!!!!

Boo we've not found out the gender yet but we already have a boys name I love it too. This is our last baby, I'll be sad to see the name go unused lol. Not sure Gabriel Thomas is so lovely for a girl though

you can always do gabriella and call her gabby!

Welcome lav and congratulations to you and tink and welcome to team blue!

Have any of you other team bluers got any idea of names yet?

I couldn't resist buying my baby boy some bits in next today even though I never usually buy this early!

The baby grows are first size and I think will be to take to the hospital, and the little outfit is 0-3 - I just adore baby boy leggings!

ours is James

Congrats on the blue bumps!!!

Boo I have had my heart set on Jude since we found out I was pregnant, but I also had Rupert and Robin on my list this time. I keep asking OH tO think about names but getting nowhere so far.

I managed to sort through all of DD's baby clothes today. It was harrrd but I have got a small bag of my favourite dresses and outfits from the last 2 years for if we ever have another girl or to make in to a memory bear. I now need to get rid of 6 massive bags full of newborn to 18-24m clothes. Xx

oh i just did that yesterday. terrible isn't it?

Hi ladies

So at first it was difficult to to get bub to uncross its legs lol i had to crawl on all fours, but we are also team blue!
I am so in love with him already

Congrats ej!!!!

Tink we just used regular baby wipes. Our hospital (according to my sisters lol) has always been very strict on cotton wool and water, but aparently not on the post section ward all the midwives carried wipes in their pockets for nappy changes (since mums who had had emcs or complications weren't always able to get up to baby) I figured if the midwives weren't too fussed I wouldn't bother. Xander never had nappy rash or anything g anyway or I would have switched. Surprising since his wrists and ankles/feet were cracked and bleeding.

I want to get some yarn today to make a blanket for a friend's baby shower next weekend. I need to pick her up a gift too - any suggestions?? My mind is blank!

I always get my friends things they don't think of. like they always put big items. But i get the littles. Like the best diaper cream, laundry det for baby, toothbrush, sometimes the first box of baby oatmeal or rice, things they don't normally think of so that when suddenly they're told they're supposed to be brushing teeth they already have the stuff. They don't hve to go searching for it. Or the soothing lavender bath stuff for nighttime. orajel for the teething. ice teethers. anythign that will make everyday life easier.





afm my day plans were changed. Gram was admitted to the hospital yesterday not looking good. i spent the day helping mom clean the carpet. gram had broken a lamp and cut her foot on it, and bled all over the room. so dad took her to the hosp and we cleaned.

Angel, I like the name Heidi, it's uncommon around here but not considered unusual.

Tinkerbelle, I like Emily a lot! I suggested it to my husband a while ago, but I guess it's not his style. Ava is nice but a tv show turned me off from it a while ago (it was just a weird character thing, I still like the name but can't get over it for my own child now that it's in my head). Matilda is nice too!

My husband's top middle name choices are now Hannah Alexis (keeps changing because I vetoed Alexandra then later Alexa) and Hannah Marie. I don't think I think the first name ending with an a sound and the middle name starting with one. Marie has a google situation though that I'm not thrilled about (I guess I'm just being too picky, shouldn't have googled the names together). I'm considering Hannah Nicole but that has a lot of Ns, and my husband doesn't like that there isn't a family connection.

Does anyone have any other Alexandra name suggestions that is similar but doesn't start with A? I can't think of any.....

Mommyx, prayers to your family

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Lexi is a shorter version of alexandra

 

[Starlight32]

Thanks, Rhi. We want to avoid an L middle name because of initials though.

I'm looking at other names with Greek orgin... Daphne, Melody, Cleo are Greek names I like for a possible middle names, I guess I'll keep those on the back burner in case my husband ends up really wanting to do a Greek middle name.

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

I'm a Rhea and my full name is Alexandria =) Rhea is also Greek =) I don't love it though and it's my name lol. Thought I would suggest anyways as it fits technically

 

[Starlight32]

Rhi, are you Greek by chance?? Thanks for the suggestion! I am also trying to avoid back to back a end sounding names (that's why I vetoed Alexa and suggested Alexis to my husband lol)... Am I just too picky?? Lol

Baby girl finally ended up moving a bit last night in bed and this morning. This gave me such relief after a fairly quiet day. I love feeling her move. It's the best part of pregnancy. People tell me I'll get annoyed later when it gets harder though, but I'm very much enjoying feeling movement right now.

Daphne would have been my Daughters name if we weren't having a boy. I do like Hannah as a name but agree its difficult choosing a middle name that fits. My OH aunt is called Hannah Maria, we really dislike her but her name is quite nice.

You can't be too picky. It's quite important no not Greek my mum just didn't like "boring" names. Hahah

 

[Boo44]

Names like Alexandra :

Victoria, Charlotte, Beatrice, Isabelle, Catherine, Harriet

These all strike me as nice traditional names which have a bit of 'something' about them

ETA: just realised you're looking for a Greek name! My niece is Thea but I'm not sure Hannah Thea goes very well. I do like Theadora though!

 

[Starlight32]

We are considering a Greek middle name because of my husband's family. They are upset because Hannah is not a Greek name, but I don't know if they will even care about the middle name if it's not Alexandra (family name). It's frustrating because I feel bad that we aren't thinking about a Greek first name, but neither of us liked any of them for our baby when we browsed them.

 

[joo]

I like Hannah Alexandra I think it goes nicely, but it all depends on surname as well I suppose.

I have a Harriet Abigail. I am struggling for a middle name for Jude, but still waiting on OH's contribution to the name pile. I think he likes Seth still, which was one of the main contenders last time if DD was a boy but it's been and gone for me.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I work with an Alexandria and her name is Sandy.

Starlight above everything else your baby's name has to be something you and your dh love and agree on. Don't let yourself be too weighed down with everyone else's views.

I know I've said this before but my nan is very cross that I didn't name my son after my dad. I love her very much but I won't give my child a name for his while life based on keeping her happy. Plus I don't like his name

Seriously where are all the maternity clothes?! When I had Xander I got pretty much everything from asda. The only place I can find that does maternity clothes in store is debenhams and I don't want to spend that much on clothes I'll wear for 5 months. Urgh!! I was at the Trafford Centre for ages, my feet are hurting and my back is hurting and all I got was a pair of jasper conran jammies for Xander

 

[Squig34]

Pixie almost nowhere now has maternity stuff in store, it's all online. New Look might have some in store, & obviously places like Mothercare & Mamas & Papas, but otherwise, you need to get on t'internet

Tinkerbelle, what are you studying?

Mommy, sorry to hear about your Granny.

[Boo44]

Gorgeous!! I've never even heard of frugi before!

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Angel, how beautiful are the clothes. I may have to have a spending spree! Xx

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Live frugi. Is this a new sale ?! I looked in the new year's sale a few weeks ago and it was shockingly poor.basically Christmas tat. That stuff looks lovely though!

 

[AngelofTroy]

I don't know but there's loads in the sale now, mostly the smaller sizes.
