Hi Phoebe congrats on banana!

Yes Tink I'll cheer you up tomorrow racing you in the wheelchair through the crowds!

I have been eating fried eggs a lot cabbage . I like em on toast with brown sauce! mmm

 

[phoebe]

I know that sounded possibly crazy girls, espec as we/i cant agree on a 1st name and i am worrying a bloody surnames. What about a double barrel surname?? xxx

 

[mothercabbage]

coral...Ssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhh no more egg talk my mouth is watering.....ive NEVER had food cravings in preg! EVER but i think i do now....i love them on toast..im favouring hp fruity sauce at mo...wow....i need to buy some chickens!!!!!
phoebe...my kids got OH name,we not married...i still carry all paternal rights over chloe(me n her dad split 9years ago) im not sure if laws have changed but what i say goes type of thing, he cant take her out of the country without my say so,he cant apply for a passport for her,he tried dickhead!!!!!!!!!!.....but i cant change her name (by law) with out his say so....if you intend on getting married then give LO his name but if you dont then id go with your name or like you said double barrelled

mc-im pretty sure eggs are actually a good choice of craving they are full of protein and even some vitamins (i think A and D?) I think the only down side to eggs is that the yolk is high in cholesterol, but if you dont have any problems with that in the first place then you can probably eat many eggs a week without worry. if it concerns you you can remove the yolk, although youll probably be removing a lot of the protein and vitamins with that as well. mmm getting hungry for hard boiled eggs now lol

phoebe-i wouldnt let what your friend is saying get you too worried. but it really IS your choice. ive never heard that giving the guy's last name can affect parental rights, i unfortunately know many people who gave their kids their boyfriend/husbands last name and then split up, some of them even had custody fights and they have all won. maybe it is different in some areas though? if you think both last names fit nicely together thats an option too, but i have went to school with some kids with CRAZY last names because their parents were being "creative" lol. that said, if you have any doubts about you and your guy's relationship or just worrying "what if" and you think it would bug you if your kid was stuck with that last name, then i guess its something to really consider! have you picked out first names yet? this may not be as relevant but do you find that one name/surname fits particularly nicer or just sounds "right"? with your OH be offended if you decline using his name? hmm.. tough!

 

[phoebe]

Thanks girls, it is a bit of a brain stew lol. there is no plans on our splitting up, and as i said earlier we dont have any 1st names yet. I think my 'friend' just wanted to give me the willies. Will have to get China and Poppy to kick her ass As for getting married again. No way Jose!! once bitten twice shy

Hows about spongbob square pants for a name???? Uh oh i see thats already been taken boooooooooooooooo

 

[mothercabbage]

my OH said the other night "what about simon" hahahahah no offence to anyone intended but i cant imagine calling "simon" in for dinner" lol silly OH....i think i having a girl, and already got the name Alexia...Lexy...chosen!...

 

[Hopes314]

haha! spongebob is a LOVELY name phoebe. last week i told OH that were naming the baby "pacific ocean" or if we want a middle name we can go for something more complete like "cell phone charger". I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm an idiot

 

[Hopes314]

mc i love the name lexy! unfortunately my 6 year old cousins are named lexi and kenzi, so i can't steal lexy as a name lol

 

[phoebe]

my OH said the other night "what about simon" hahahahah no offence to anyone intended but i cant imagine calling "simon" in for dinner" lol silly OH....i think i having a girl, and already got the name Alexia...Lexy...chosen!...

So ur getting girl vibes now then Cabs??? I am still unsure, felt so boy-ish for a while. I know last time i was 100% girl, but this time i am really unsure lol xx Btw Lexy is lovely xx

 

[Hopes314]

i felt like i have a boy in there. i dont have as strong of a feeling as before, but if i had to guess right now i think id still guess boy for me. i think its partly because id rather a girl, and im so pessimistic about things im like "oh i doubt its actually a girl." My MIL swears its a girl, she throws girl names at me everytime she sees me. She said her grandma told her (yes her grandma passed like 15 years ago). I think the in laws just want a girl because they already have a grandson. I'm getting antsy about it though lol I do wanna know a little nowwww

I know all about your dilemma Phoebe. Mine all have my ex's surname, and to be honest It doesn't bother me. Surnames hold no weight in the eyes of the law, this is a myth. So its down to personal preference. I assumed I would marry my ex, so went for giving them his surname, I think he would have also been very offended if I didn't. The ability for a father to make lawful decisions about the child is known as parental responsibility. All mine were born after the rules changed in December 2003, before this unmarried fathers did not have automatic parental responsibility as in MC's case. Now if the father registers the birth with you, they ARE granted parental responsibility. If there comes a time where this is no longer appropriate, you could have this taken away from him. Here's a link that explains what I mean:

Not the most positive of subjects is it? awwwww I'm sure everything will be just fine Phoebe x

 

[mothercabbage]

you still not finding out the gender?? phoebe n hopes? i deffo am!!! i cant wait!!

 

[Hopes314]

oh yes pheeby weeby, OH wants a boy very much and I want a girl very much.. but we hope to have one of each some day, so either way we will be very happy with this LO of course!

 

[mothercabbage]

i thought laws had changed tink....ill be with connor and this babys dad forever so im ok with giving LO's his name, however im glad chloe's dad had no rights..he a TWAT!

 

[Hopes314]

you still not finding out the gender?? phoebe n hopes? i deffo am!!! i cant wait!!

Nope, NOT giving in When I start thinking about "well we could just find out no big deal" i just keep reminding myself how badly we want to be on the way to the hospital in august, STILL excited to find out if we are going to have a son or daughter! ohh the anticipation! lol

 

[phoebe]

Its not easy is it?? Will either of u find out at 20wk scan Hopes n Cabs?? Or will u stay on team :yellow: i am determined to stay yellow for the duration or as long as poss (multiple scans permitting) xx

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

I NEED EGGGGGGGGGGGGGSSSSSSSSSS! Coral, I too like mine fried on toast with brown sauce, I'm sure our babies are gonna come out as little doubles

I give up on trying to predict what your all having, I keep changing my mind. I still stick to my guns that the majority are having girls. I am not fond of Simon either MC, I dunno why x

 

[Hopes314]

I had a music teacher in elementary school who we had to call "mrs simon" and she was a total b****. So i can't imagine a decent person having the name simon, let alone a BABY. Isn't it funny how knowing someone with a certain name changes your opinion of that name forever!? lol
