@Stephanie
What wonderful news, I am so pleased for the both of you, and when you try for something for so long it becomes that much more exciting and precious.
Of course I would have to say it but.....a unisex name is the way to go, you are safe no matter what the situation.
When Ade and I started going out, we would be introduced to people we didn't know as 'Robin and Adrienne' and it gave folks a devil of a time trying to work out who was who. We used to play along with it and deliberately refer to each other as , darling, my girl, honey, he, she......we did everything to keep the intrigue going until it would bring someone to bursting point and they would have to say...."Who is who"!
It took the wonderful Andrea Wagner @Andrea9 from Amsterdam, one of the regular contributors here for a long time, more than a year to work out if Robin4 was, Robin the he....... or Robin the she,
On the pregnancy thing, Ade put her foot in it one night! We were introduced to a new group of people, and in an endeavour to start conversation Ade said to one rather dumpy girl, "When's the baby due?" and the woman said rather indignantly....."I'm not pregnant"!!!!
Lovely news to hear Steph, make the most of it, I have already raised a glass or two, doing a bit of practice head wetting....in fact seeing as you're on an alcohol sabbatical, I have been raising your glass as well, hope you don't mind!
Cheers......Rob
