August 18, 201511 yr Hi guys, just thought it would be nice to have somewhere private(ish) to note down how we are doing, what's going on in our world, how baby is etc. Feel free to write here too, as it's nice to share these things with you all :) So we are just over 25 weeks, so less than 15 to go now until D-Day (what I am calling due date)... And if this little baby is anything like his/her Dad, they will arrive on the exact day, and labour will only last 1.5 hours, but of course we are not quite that optimistic..! The nursery is almost painted, and we will be getting new carpet fitted after that. We have chosen the furniture, but just keeping an eye on it at the moment to see if it goes on 'sale' asits quite expensive. We already have the Pram and Car Seat as these were a gift from Tasha's Dad. We picked up a really nice Victorian Elm rocking chair last week, and ordered a nice baby monitor today. Tasha is getting big now, but she is feeling well. We will be visiting the midwife again tomorrow and are looking at writing our 'birthplan' at the moment. We have kept a diary which we fill in every week, and taking a photo each Monday too, so in the end we can see the evolution of bump. We still really have no idea if it is a boy or a girl, so we have been having fun with choosing same names, and I think we have settled on 3 preferred names per sex (but this will probably change again, I'm sure). Not sure what family will think of them though. There have been a large number which we could not agree on, so these have been 'shelved' for now. If you want to make some suggestions, please feel free. Little Action would be good, but I don't think Tasha would go for that...! :rolleyes:
August 18, 201511 yr Author lovely! Will you know the sex before the birth? No, we missed that boat. We could have found out at 20 weeks but.... where's the fun in that?! :d ;)

August 18, 201511 yr 15 weeks to go how exciting!! I think it's cool you don't know the sex yet I will go with its a girl we should have a poll :) Names I haven't a clue, it seems the old fashioned names are coming back though So excited for you guys xx Maria or Mia - means wished for child in italy
August 18, 201511 yr I'm partial to Violet for a little girl, I had two boys so love thinking girl names.:P Congrats, she looks wonderful!
August 18, 201511 yr Love this update!!! I always like the crystal type names, Sapphire/Amber/Jade etc. Ended up traditional though. You will hear a name and it will speak to you. Or you will meet him/her and just know. Tasha looks amazing, it's tough work growing a baby :) Making me well up! Love babies and love happy endings...this is just a win all round. x
August 18, 201511 yr HUGE congratulations to you BOTH!!! xox aww.. I'm going with a girl too!! (all out the front)... old school hehehe! and Tasha is GORGEOUS! Errrm yep! I like Maria/Mia/Ria too! ;)
August 19, 201511 yr Love, love, love!! 15 weeks will fly by and before you know it the baby will be here!! Tasha looks fabulous! Have fun writing that birth plan, you guys can laugh at it when the baby is here and the plan went out the window when labor starts! Haha!
August 19, 201511 yr What a cutie, pa-two-tee wife!!! :) Names? Josephine (Joey for short) Olive Ontario Tyler
August 19, 201511 yr Author Thanks for all of the good-wishes, gender-guesses and name suggestions everyone! :) We went for a midwife appointment today, and everything is OK. We heard the heartbeat again, too :D For names, we certainly won't be going for anything traditional, and to be honest, the less-popular and more obscure the name, the better. Although I have already ruled out Ichabod, to Tasha's annoyance ;)
August 19, 201511 yr In which case my friend combined names and made whole new ones from friends and family they liked, I thought that was a pretty great and original idea. They have daughters named Coren and Caris but maybe you could pick out some of your influencial people and muck around with some letters from their names?? or Marti is nice ;)
August 20, 201511 yr Oh my gosh! Your baby momma looks awesome! So excited for the both of you. Not long to go now at all!! xoxoxo
