hello all. Had my appt and the doc did a doppler thing - heard a good strong heart beat and I feel sooooo relieved. Thanks for all the reassurance though, it was really comforting to hear it's not just me. The waiting room was a bit of an eye opener - what a mix of people. Someone was having contractions, but I saw her getting on the tram as I left so I'm thinking that was a false alarm.... Didn't get my goody bag though! dammit!

Kyra - I'm really old fashioned about names. My starting point is it has to be the sort of name that if my child was applying to graduate programme or a job, the name would suit them, not just a name that suits when you are 3 and cute. I bought a really good book called Cool Names for Babies. It's a little book, by Satran and Rosenkrantz, and by far the most useful one I've found rather than the dictionaries with 5 million names.
