Baby Names

i will be in the room when it happens. i have a fairly strong stomach, but i'm not sure i'll be watching the process too intently (i'll be there for moral support, more than actually wanting to see it.) i'm CONVINCED it's going to be a big baby, so there may be some cutting/ripping to endure. that may be a little too much reality for me!

What you need to do is sit BESIDE your partner rather than at the other end. That way, you can be a comfort to her and miss all the gore and the surgical bits. To be honest, you'll be so besotted with the arrival of your little man (or girl) that you'll hardly notice anything else.

Going back to baby sizes, I always thought it was the length of the baby that was significant for their future height, not their weight.  It's certainly been true with my two.  The second was quite a bit longer and he's the tallest.

Yep, don't quote me but thing it something like by the time they're 7 they're going to be double that height as a teenager.

Unless you've gave birth to a dwarf.

I've got some nice names for you from my step-mother-in-law:

Ethel, Reginald, Bruce and ..............JADE!!

bruce is already on my shorlist - after bruce campbell. (i sense everyone suddenly googling it because nobody knows who the hell he is.)

Yeh you don't want to be a the business end.
Hot Dog up an alleyway will spring to mind.

i'll probably be having my hand crushed while she screams all sorts of abuse at me. (hey - it's ALWAYS like that in the movies!)

Well heres what you do... When she screams at you about how "you" did this to her, simply say, "Ummm no, if you remember rightly... I wanted to stick it up you ass..."

That should not only get you a few laughs but a heafty slap from herself.

I don't think the midwife will laugh.

[oldspice]

Hey - I thought of a relly pretty name for a girl today. How about Kim?

[wjp666]

kim's good. (and other one for the list.)

seriously - thanks for all the feedback here to everyone. it is helping us a great deal.

My niece is called Kim. Kimberley really but she feels Kim is more of an adult name.
