Thanks!

Wow, I have people who commented! Thanks guys! This is the only place I'm talking about it at the moment as Michael won't let me post on forums yet, and it is waaay too early for facebook.

Tonight I am feeling impatient. Can I have my baby now please? I hate the miscarriage risk of early pregnancy, and I want a bump! And to tell people. Gfft.

I'm enjoying this "sweet spot" of early pregnancy at the moment - I remember this bit from Otto! Morning sickness started with him dead on six weeks, so I'm expecting that kind of thing again. Maybe I shouldn't though, and employ the power of positive thought and prayer. This bit of pregnancy seems to mostly involve wanting to eat more, drink more and sleep more. I can handle that, although operation not-gaining-three-stone is hoping to have some influence on the eating part. I don't want to eat less food, just fewer cream cakes than last time!

I bought the baby a very nice bunny toy today, I wanted to get something to recognise she exists and to belong to her. Otto has a bunny I bought for him before I was pregnant (not that he gives the toy the time of day, but I like it!) so maybe this will become a little family tradition. At the moment, as you may be able to tell, I am totally thinking this baby is a girl. We're planning to decline scans this pregnancy, so we won't find out til I push the baby out. I'm excited about that, finding out was totally the right thing with Otto but this time we would be perfectly happy with either a boy or a girl so waiting sounds like the right thing to do. We'd be hard pushed to find out without having a scan too, though I imagine we might do some wedding ring wafting at some point!

I also realllllly want to get making for this baby, but I have a couple of WIPs to crack on with first. Impatient, impatient impatient.

We've gone off all our girl names too. Suggestions welcome!

Ah that explains why I hadn't seen anything on cost nostra ;-)
Oooh names, one of my favourite parts. Any specifications? New names? Old-fashioned names? Any sort of theme? Otto means wealth, so some starters for matching girl names could be; Dita, Eda, Edith or Odette :-)
