Lise, he's gorgeous! Thank you for sharing the photos!
Brunette, for now my weight's going the other way (I've lost 10kg so far thanks to the m/s). I'll need to do what I can to keep it in check once I start eating again though because I'm very overweight to start with.
LondonMiss, I go for ignoring as my first option, with lying as the backup plan. But to be honest, generally I don't comment on names regardless of whether I like them or not. The only time I've had an unavoidable conversation about a name was with one of our friends who went to great lengths explaining how much effort they'd gone to to make sure their daughter's name was unique.
Lisa B, like you I'd spent all my time researching the TTC side. I know the IVF doctors in this city with good reputations, but not the OBs and had to make a choice on OB quickly with no time to research it. We're going private so that we'll get a private room and DH will be able to stay at the hospital with us if he wants to. The only appeal the public system had for me (aside from cost) was that they are less likely to intervene unless absolutely neccessary. Some OBs in private hospitals are very quick to jump to c-sections or inductions and I don't want those if I don't need them.
Mitf - congrats on the safe arrival of your baby boy.
Brunette, I started at 53kg (but it would fluctuate by a kilo or so every week), and now at nearly 17 weeks I am about 55.5kg so haven't put on much at all.
Can't do personals today, what a mad mad week it's been.
Belly rubs to all.
Brunnette - I would have 2 stable weeks and then a big growing week every three weeks. My weight has always been an issue as I'm very short and I went a bit mad at the beginning with the "permission" to eat. I've probably gone from 68kg at 20ish weeks to currently about mid eighties (probably creeping towards 90 based on the water in my ankles alone at the moment!!) I wouldnt' worry too much about your weight if you think you have basic nutrition going in? (in my case topped up with copious Cadburys, Magnums and with a cake chaser)
CK, You must be tiny, weighing only 53 ks! How are things going with your work, Chrissy? Have you finished training the people who are going to replace you? Gee that must be tough.
LondonMiss, Once again you had me in tears - your comment about the cake chaser; love it! Re correct etiquette with "unique" names, I agree with Leabie (I think it was) who said to say nothing. It makes it difficult if you can't guess the baby's gender due to the name the parents have given it, though
Juniper, wow, I can't believe you have lost 10 kilos while PG! You must have very bad MS and not be eating at all? That's horrible. How did you go with the horror report?
