We wanted to find out desperately being first time parents and excited to hell ... but at our last u/s @ 19 weeks (mainly cos I'm a larger lady O ) the sonographer couldn't tell at all ... so we have to wait ... thankfully not for much longer.

We've both had VERY strong feelings since we found out we were pg that we're having a girl and absolutely love the girl's name we have picked (Jovi Lee), however we will also be ecstatic (sp?) if it's a boy as DH is the last boy in his family (Christopher Gordon).

Both our family's think that we're having a boy however, especially DH's mum as I have not been sick or anything during this pregnancy and she wasn't with DH, but was with all his 3 sisters. My mum wants it to be a boy as my brother and wife had a little girl (not so little now! what a little chubba ) last year. But they're pregnant again and we all think that she's having a boy as this pregnancy is much more like it was with her first boy.

If we had found out, we were more than happy to tell people what we were having but are deadset against telling people names, especially now that we don't know what we're having (though I don't mind sharing with you guys as I don't personally know any of you here and there is no way that my rello's would find out ... plus I NEEDED to tell someone )

It should be interesting though if it is a girl as we know that a few people in the family will say that the ONLY reason we like Jovi for a name is because we are avid Bon Jovi fans, however I knew this before I agreed to the name and made DH do some research. He actually heard the name on that movie "Elf" except the girls name was spelt Jove (but pronounced Jovi) and I made him find a meaning for it. It's a female form of Jovan and mean's Happy. It can also be a shortened form of names like Jovita. So at least we have some ammo against (especially) his younger sister who we know will harp on it.

But I love it ... and having been watching the reruns of Elf lately on Austar just to hear the name

But really it's just a personal choice what you want to do ... find out, not find out, tell people, don't tell people ... whatever you decide should be fine by everyone else (though I know it never is ... we almost got into a massive argument with a rellie cos we wouldn't tell them the names we had picked out ... they were so rude about it).
