HAHAA @Helen427 , that didn't take long! So sweet of you - this is my first child after hubbie and I struggled for many years so is a rainbow baby. I know what the gender is already but I won't be revealing until May 😉 

 

It's just the one baby (thank god, my house is too small for more!) Love the idea of baby name ideas! I already have a strawberry baby (cat). 

 

Thanks

Don't say that @Stephanie I'm a Leo.....although that's not necessarily a recommendation 🙂

 

But we do have a rather fetching mane 🙂

@Helen3 @Dimitar27 @Stephanie  I don't follow astrology much, but I have to say, I've noticed that my life seems to be peopled with those from certain signs way more than others. Lots of Aries (the opposite sign to mine) and lots of Sagittarius. As a Libra, an air sign, I'm attracted to fire signs. 

One day, a few years ago, it suddenly dawned on me that all my 3 daughters and I represented all four elements. I guess we're the perfectly balanced family??? Sure doesn't seem like that sometimes.

Stephanie- if it's a boy and a Cancer, watch out- they're real homebodies and he may still be living in Mom's basement at the age of 40 :-))🙂

How lovely to hear such amazing news. Many congratulations to you and your family. @Stephanie 

 

So lovely to hear your happy news in the midst of these dark days.

 

When I was pregnant I got baby books. My family aren't English so we got baby book names from his country and my mother's.

 

I think baby names sometimes come to you when they are born I am sure family and friends will be forthcoming with suggestions. Just don't saddle them with a name that will make them the but of jokes at school - Sky, Apple, Trixibelle, etc your child will never forgive you 🙂

 

There was a girl at my school called Anita Burke poor girl got called A nit A burke throughout her secondary school days.

@Stephanie 

So your happy news has finally leaked out Steph! I swear, it wasn't me who let the cat out of the bag... I know how to keep a secret! ;))

 

Saoirse is a lovely name for a girl - means "freedom" in Gaelic. or pehaps, Aisling - means "dream" or "vision". And for a boy, maybe Donovan - "warrior ", Ted or Teddy - "gift of god", or Liam - "determined protector". It's true what they say though - you can spend months poring over baby name books and agonising over the perfect moniker.. then out pops baby and you take one look at him/her and go, "Nah! You look nothing like that perfect name I finally picked for you, that I spent countless hours of my pregnancy choosing", and instantly come up with a completely random name out of left-field that you'd never even thought of before, but suits your little one to an absolute T!

 

I've tried to respond to your PM half a dozen times -just not happening for me! Really disappointed this bloody coronavirus has put a spanner in the works for our little soiree, but honestly, I was always a bit worried about the thoughts of you getting on a plane over here while preggers, even before we had any idea how bad things were going to get. But hey, hopefully we'll get to have our mocktails sometime in the not too distant future anyway ;))

 

Hope the sickness has all passed now, and hubby is taking great care of you and spoiling you rotten, as every new mum-to-be should be spoiled! Stay safe lady, and get yourself plenty of rest ;))

HAHA you did a grand job @Susan17 ! I checked travel before all this rubbish kicked off and was allowed to travel up until 8 months - not to say I'm not already at the waddle phase ;D

 

Gorgeous names, I especially like Teddy because Colin (my husband) means Bear Cub! 

 

Here's to the time humans can travel again and socialise with the distance!

 

Thanks
