Babyfever - don't know about being strong. I remember when I first found out she was pg. I was very jealous. She had a little baby, i'd just lost mine, she wasn't trying (she was actually talking about going back onto contraception), i've been trying for years. First thoughts - "should have been me". But today when her mum stopped and told me was "i'm glad it was a boy and i'm glad everything is ok" Maybe my reaction would have been different if it was a girl (that's what i think my angel was) and even though I'd dearly love to have a girl the ultimate would be a healthy bub to have in my arms - boy or girl. I don't "own" any names and probably would have used the same one as her if we both had had girls. I just don't like people to think we've copied. BTW her mum was very surprised when I said I hadn't seen her for months. This is a lady that I used to care for her kids when she went to work - I had the youngest girl from 6mo to 5 and a bit when she started school and the little boy from 6 weeks til about 10mo. I had always been invited to their birthday parties, and the kids mum considered me "mum" too (always ringing for advice if her own mum was away).
