[Nyn]

whizzyrocket - I love Matilda and Theo

I secretly think of names.. I wish I could know what we're having!!

 

[whizzyrocket]

And congratulations Nyn!

I only joined my local dr yesterday when we still weren't certain (very efficient- they asked for a medical examination and a urine sample even before I told them I might be pregnant!)

I too have the new people, new place thing, as I moved here six months ago, and only really know my book group! Are you native to Belgium or was it a BIG move? The thing I'm worried about now is that my husband is due to be posted to another RAF base in November! I don't really want to move house at such a critical moment!

Hi Girls! I've just found this thread and will join up if that's ok

I'm due I think around 1-4 November with number 3!!

I called the midwives yesterday and have an appointment for 2 weeks time! I've moved house since I had ds2 so it's with new people and a new place etc ...

Congrats to you all!!

Congrats

I know my mum and best friend will be pleased, but it is still a big thing for me to say aloud let alone to anyone else! I might call my elder sister later though and let her in on things- she's pregnant too (due in June) so it might be easier.

So far as gender goes, I don't know if we will find out or not. When my sisters had their boys it was very obvious on the scans- one even had a bottom view! Would you say it is very much more special to find out at the birth?

Oh wow... your kids will be so close in age! how lovely! I'm sure she'll be thrilled for you!

Well... there are pro's and con's to both... finding out means you can buy some bits and bobs in a pink/blue... but we found that we wanted all the pram/bouncy chair/playmat etc neutral in case the second was the opposite sex anyway... so really, it didn't matter about buying pink/blue.. and hubby had always had this dream/notion that he would be able to say to me once I'd pushed out the baby... it's a girl/boy etc... and that's how it happened... I pushed Lottie out (with the help of forceps) and he said to me... in tears... it's a girl... it was magical! For us.. well worth the torturous nine months of What are you baby???

WELCOME and huge congrats to you on your BFP... Happy and Healthy 9 months!! Hope you like the new midwives!

I like a lot of names too- and have been thinking about them for years! This is my shortlist:

Matilda, Adelaide (shortens to Heidi), Violet, Zoe, Amanda, Claudia, Penelope.

Reuben, Frederick, Henry, Albert (although my husband calls me this or Bertie, so it could be odd), Timothy, Edward, Theo.

My OH and I were talking about names in bed last night until 1am!

Do they normally take blood from you? I faint when I give blood! Could be fun! I gave blood last week not knowing I was pregnant. Could that have an impact on the young bean, do you think?

What lovely and very different names! The will take blood from you between your booking in appt and your 12 week scan, they run checks on EVERYTHING. I think you have more bloods at your 12 week scan if you're testing for Downs and also later in pregnancy too.

It wont have an effect on bean... not to worry... your body is working to produce more right now, so all okay!!

novembers a special month for me too.
Im due, 5th nov, bonfire night. my dads birthday is the 9th nov, and then theres the special dates of 1/11/11 and 11/11/11, i was due 09/09/09 with the twins but they were born 03/09/09 so it would be cool if this little one was due 05/11/11 but born 11/11/11 lol xx

 

[MummyCat]

I need a LIKE button!! our wedding anniversary is the 3rd November... so we like the month too!

 

[LoolaBear]

i know what you mean many a time ive gone to like something (like you do on facebook) then had to stop myself from pressing the thanks button. xx

 

[whizzyrocket]

Thanks, Mummycat, good to know that I didn't do a silly thing in giving blood- it is one of the questions they ask you after all.

I won't exactly be keen on them taking blood but I don't imagine they take nearly as much as the blood donation nurses do so I should be ok if I give myself a pep talk and tell myself to man-up!

And they are different names, yes. I always felt that it was nice having a name not everyone has- there were no other Alices in my school. My little sister is Miriam and I think it's lovely for her too not to just be another Lily. It may be a sweet name but there are so many of them.

My sister opted for Oliver Dmitri for her little boy as he has Ukrainian heritage on his father's side. My father in law is Danish, so I have wondered whether we'll pay homage to that. My OH's middle name is Axel which wouldn't be so bad, but my father in law is Rasmus! Not so sure!

 

[MummyCat]

bwahahahah... I almost thanked you too Really.. it's sad what facebook has done to us

 

[LoolaBear]

bwahahahah... I almost thanked you too Really.. it's sad what facebook has done to us

yes! if our life isnt ruled by facebook its ruled by all the BnB abbreviations!! x

 

[MummyCat]

Honey, if you didn't know you were pregnant there is nothing you could do anyway... i'm sure it's all fine They will only take a few viles when they draw blood for tests.

I agree about different names, I always loved Isabel, then it became fashionable and now we know 3 of them Axel is lovely... I'm sure there are some lovely and different Danish names!

You're not kidding... the amount of times I had to stop before I told hubby that my MIL was annoying me on my recent holiday.... it's like I'm programmed!

i deal with data protection alot at work and i keep seeing DPO everywhere i keep thinking what the hell has my work got to do with ovulation

 

[loob53]

I have 2 boys from a previous relationship and my current partner has 2 girls from a previous relationship, so we do not have any intuition about the gender of this baby, I have all the symptoms I had with my 2 boys and all thr food aversions that I am tasteful to when I had them.

Any of you ladies had similar tastes?

Lou xnx

 

[MummyCat]

hahahaha... brilliant!

Well I need to get my butt off the couch and get some lunch We're off to see our NCT buddies at 2pm

Catch up with you all soon!! xx

 

[MummyCat]

Hey Lou.... so far it's sorta similar to Lottie... no real cravings yet

 

[LoolaBear]

so far i have everything that was exactly the same as my angel.
the cravings, the huge appitite, the evening sickness, the tiredness, everything is exactly the same as what i had with her.
also i just got a gut feeling its a girl. xx

 

[Nyn]

Thank you girls for the lovely warm welcome!

I've lived in Belgium for over 20 years now, but only recently moved from Brussels out to the countryside. My 2 boys were born in the city, and I'm really happy I've found a 'birthing house' they call it here not too far away that is run by a team of midwives. I called up and the lady was so sweet on the phone, I'm feeling positive about it

With both previous pregnancies I didn't really have any cravings, but more like food aversions.. things I couldn't go near without being sick lol. So far I'm feeling nothing, so just waiting to see!

my oh has hungarian heritage so that has influenced out boys names.

 

[LoolaBear]

I'm half irish so i like to choose names that have a connection to my gaelic roots.
I didnt name my son my husband did but his name still has a really sweet spiritual meaning to it (im also a very spiritualistic person).
Names with meanings mean alot to me as well, if i dont like the meaning then i dont like the name x

 

[Nyn]

I'm completely with you on name meanings. I feel the same way

ooh there are some really gorgeous Irish names.. you've got lots to pick from!
