My antenatal friend got booked in at her 40 week appt, the midwife rang the hospital and booked the appt there and then. However, I didn't have that happen at my appt so hoping it will be done tomorrow. At least I know to ask now!

 

[firsttimer1]

oOOoooo yes, your getting a s+s tomo right? bet that will kick things off for you

 

[lozza1uk]

I am, eek!!

So I need an opinion. (Names broken to prevent search engines)
My maiden name is Dra.gon. When I took my husband's name I moved Dra.gon to a second middle name.
So we've pretty much decided on Ell.iott as our son's name. It's the only name we both like. And we decided on 2Ls 2Ts because it gives it the same amount of letters as our last name. (And my mom bought us this poster: https://www.allposters.com/-sp/Pete-s-Dragon-Posters_i8034997_.htm)
So I considered giving him my dad's first name as his middle name but then I wouldn't want to give him the Dragon because it would be weird to have my dad's first and last name in the middle of my son's name.
So Elli.ott G.ene LASTNAME or Ell.iott Ja.sper Dra.gon LASTNAME? (Or some other name I just LOVE Jas.per with Dra.gon, hubby likes Tobias but I don't think it goes with Drag.on)

Oh kymied, im NOOOO good.... as i like both!!!! sorry

 

[Mrs Cupcake]

kymied i absolutely love your second version of the name - EJDB (didnt want to write in full incase you want refs to your surname removed). I think Dragon is way too unique and cool to not have it at all. I understand your reticence to use your dads whole name in the middle (i would be the same).

i love jasper with dragon too.

All in all i think it is a great name!!

 

[Mrs Cupcake]

FT - just seen your message about the cookies. it might be too late now as you've probably made them but i happily inerchange salted and unsalted all the time. I made the triple choc with salted and the hazelnut and choc with unsalted and both were delicious!!

just seen you have opened a new thread for those with babies! thanks, i look forward to moving over very soon!

still catching up on the other posts

 

[firsttimer1]

ha haha haha haaaaaaaa - so i went to make the cookies, but instead of folding in the flour to make a dough - i whisked away totally not paying attention... ending up with a cake mix so i am currently baking cookie/cake mix with white chocolate thrown in for good measure no doubt they will end up in the bin

think im done with the baking and chores....... knackered.com

no new aches or pains..... come on digs.... make mummy HURT!!!!

 

[kymied]

Mitch's cookies (The official cookie of the March Mamas) are in the oven. I used dark chocolate and peanut butter chips because it's what I had in the pantry. I doubled the recipe and subbed in some whole wheat flour to fake some nutrition (not like it matters with all that sugar and butter) Looks good so far!

 

[Mrs Cupcake]

i havent made the cookies yet today but i have made a quiche and a delicious smelling pear and raspberry pie for dinner. might make the cookies later (or tomorrow).

still haven't done the ironing...

went for a wander around the garden centre this afternoon and bought some lovely purple primroses to go in my hanging baskets. I have a pale yellow house so i think the contrast will look really good. just got to summon the energy to actually plant them now!

i think i have done enough today!

ps FT im sure your cake/cookies will still taste amazing

 

[firsttimer1]

ooooo i need some hanging basket flowers - thanks for the reminder!!!

ps...... my cookie cake things look gross

 

[wondertwins]

Kymied, I agree with Cupcake. Dragon is way too cool not to use!

 

[citymouse]

OMG, you have to have Dragon in his name! Can you imagine being able to say, "Dragon is my middle name?" He will love you forever (I mean, he will anyway)... but seriously.

Just having a mini-breakdown because I woke up with some little bites and I'm paranoid about bedbugs and then I went to vacuum the couch, because I found a lot of little hairs and crumbs, and the vacuum has been completely destroyed by the contractor using it on construction stuff. I have had a little cry and DH laughed at me and we're going to get a new, better vacuum. Just what I need when I have tons of work to do. Blargh.

I love the idea of moving our thread on, but selfishly I wish there were an option for a private or closed thread. I love our new arrivals (Missy, Vitfa, Hannah) but the ones who stick around are rare, and it just seems like we're opening ourselves up for more drive-bys who screech about not being included on the front page by our slavebot, FT .

Plus if there were a private option I could actually post name/pictures, which I'm not comfortable doing in public.

Ugh, AND I have a headache... maybe the fourth one this entire pregnancy. Boo...

Off to do a massive load of laundry on hot just in case everything is infested with bedbugs.

Kym - I think I prefer the first option although I do think Dragon is cool! The second option just seems a bit of a mouthful, although given that no one ever really reads out their full name it probably doesn't matter.

I need name advice too actually, we now have a boys shortlist of 3 and a longer list for girls. So I'll do boys first...

We want to have Frederick as a middle name for definite but are considering it as a first name (would be Freddie but Frederick on birth certificate so he can have a more formal name later in life ie on a CV!). So it's either Zachary (zack) Frederick, or Frederick Thomas, or maybe Sebastian (seb) Frederick. Not sure if Sebastian is too poncy, DH likes Seb really rather than the full name. Thoughts?

 

[firsttimer1]

Rashy - i was actually thinking that i would include people when asked.... but if they dont post by a certain point..... take them off??!!

would that be harsh?

Maybe then we could call ourselves something which doesnt include ''march'' in the title..... and we can be a private clique

 

[firsttimer1]

Lozza, i vote the third option - SebF....... x

 

[citymouse]

I wonder if we could just put "[closed]" in the thread title? I hate to exclude people but we have such a good little group, I hate to upset the vibe.

I put a thread in forum help asking admin about private threads. We'll see what they say. Not sure if that's something everyone would want to do, though... I'm willing to go with the group!

 

[citymouse]

Ooh, we could be The Growlers. That would keep people away.

Forgot to mention, last night I mentioned DTD to DH as a way to prompt labor, and he was like, "Uh... I can wait."

 

[lozza1uk]

Mouse - I thought you could close threads somehow - is that option on the buddies thread? Sure ive seen it somewhere? I do agree with you!

I've also made cookies today, unfortunately a few broke as I scraped them off the baking tray, so those ones had to be eaten straight away The rest are safely in the freezer out of reach!
