That's a bugger when that happens BOC. We had both a boys and a girls name picked out the first time we fell preggas six years ago... Ethan for a boy and georgia for a girl. With all the intervening years before we have finally got to this point, my niece has had a boy called Ethans and Geoffs BFF had a girl (his goddaughter no less) and called her Georgia.....grrr...so we had to go back to the drawing board for names.

Saph, it is good to have an end date. We saw our obstetrician on Wednesday after a growth scan on the Tuesday and we are officially breeding an elephant! The scan at just under 32 weeks estimates his size to be 2.4kg or about 5lbs 5ozs already, putting him above the 95th percentile. So much for the growth restriction we were told to expect because of the low papp-a we had at our nuchal scan...LOL.

Anyways after much discussion with our OB we have jointly decided it would be best for both me and the baby healthwise to have a scheduled C- section so barring any complications in the meantime baby C will be making his entrance via the sunroof early in the AM of Feb 12th...spot on 38 weeks.

If anything arises in the meantime of course he will be out earlier...it all hinges on how my type 1 Diabetes behaves itself over the nex few weeks and if my BP goes up etc etc...so far so good, so fingers crossed all goes well. But boy it does feel good to now that there is a precise end date to plan towards, at least now Hubby can plan his long service leave more precisely and give his work appropriate notice and all that jazz.

And it has made me pull my finger and work through the list of things to buy and prepare that much faster so everything is ready for his arrival. Onbly have a small handful of small items to get now..mainly lotions and potions and am having trouble deciding on a good organic brand to go with for all that stuff.
