I have been cursing fate as it seems now that we are officially broke *sigh* it seems EVERYONE wants us to come do stuff with them! and it means we have no money for chicken roll or friji's both of which i LOOOOVE with a passion! and SHOCK i am all out of chicken roll! but the last day or so i have been eating the haslet we bought from the supermarket. Haslet and brown sauce sandwiches. I was a bit worried this was one of those wierd pregnancy foods so i served a haslet and brown sauce sarnie to my hubby and then after he'd eaten it asked if it was a wierd combo and he said "yeah it is." and i said "well that's okay cos you've eaten it too so you're in it with me!"
We've decided to tell the world and his wife that we are expecting when we have been for our 12 week scan. i wanted to wait til i was 16 weeks as i think that is when the government say you are pretty safe from m/c but my friend said "even though you're a big girl you'll probably be showing by 16 weeks" which i hadn't really thought about, wonder how long i could use the excuse "i haven't been to the gym for a loooong time and need to lay off the pie IV's?" I've already had to be 'creative with the truth' to my sister when i nearly threw up cos i smelt bbq flavoured food...i said i'd swallowed a fly, there was no appearance of a spider to catch the fly so i think i got away with it!
Names are still a bone of contention between the hubby and i. We had decided AAAAGES ago on names for our kids. We are kinda super organised like that...i pretty much had the baby shower planned before we even started trying for kids...and i'd organised 75% of our wedding before i even had the ring on my finger. That makes me seem a bit Monica Geller doesn't it?! I'm the kinda person that normally packs the day before we leave to go on holiday, or goes to make a sandwich and realises that we have nothing in. We had one for a boy and one for a girl. I have been told on pain of death that i am not allowed to reveal them, all i will say is that they are nice scottish names (as we are both scottish) but the name for the boy changed as my husband decided he didn't like it any more (didn't matter that i did!) so we changed it for something a little more unusual but full of meaning and a KICK ARSE nickname (we think of all the things don't we?!) and honestly the name we have now is sooooo much more prounouncable than some of the others that we have seen (Teà rlag, Amhlaidh, Eairdsidh to name a VERY few!! i'll be honest i have no idea how to prounce those as i don't speak gaelic AT ALL so we ruled those out straight away!) and because we live in england and the majority of our friends and family have english accents it makes all the lovely lyrical names harsh and awful and very spitty! (lachlan was our favourite, but because i have a slight scottish lilt and the hubby doesn't it made the name sound different, i also liked Ruaraidh (prounced Roo-ry) and Aonghus (prounouced Angus)) but we do have a loooooong time to settle on something.
