Ness - good luck with the move and everything

Maz - You sound like you need one as well! Isnt it funny that as a kid we are so excited about school holidays but as parents we could probably be happy if they didnt exist Im just lucky that Dh has a majority of the big school holiday break off so I can run away if need be in a few years time, or atleast delegate some of the whining to him.

Cads - what an awesome surprise for your parents and YAY for some you time!

Meg - have fun at swimming today! Glad your enjoying the rain!

Ok so the new name we decided on is.....................

.................River Stellan James!

I thought on it for a few days and we had a list of about 5 first names that I liked way better than Gage, and the more I looked at River the more it 'fit' for us as a family. Dh just gave in cause he knows I always get my way. Dubious at first about two R firstnames but I get everyone's names mixed up already so decided it didnt matter I would have used Stellan as the fn but Ry says its too 'out there' (puzzles me that, seeing as Ripley certainly isnt mainstream). River fits our unique style, it isnt in the Top 100 and never has been, easy to spell, sounds great with the boys names and our lastname and I wont mind yelling it 200x a day in a years time haha
And its also very cute that he will be born in water with a water-related first name (Im a dork to think of that arent I!)
So we'll have two Sept siblings sharing names with a Sept 06 kiddo

Anywho should hop off and do things, might take the boyo's swimming this arvo after they wake up from their naps.
