MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
So 2 years ago (march 10th) everything went wrong. We lost our little girl who was born at 23 weeks. My wife was very ill both physically and mentally and barely spoke for 3 months. My eldest daughter was affected massively. And youngest just wanted to know what was wrong with mommy.
The messages I got from people on here was amazing. I've even been back to the thread a few times and read through.
Work were brilliant. I had a month off and flexibility to put home first. But things were very hard. I even got fat again.
So here we are now. Our son is due On the 10th of march although my wife is being kicked off early as it's a bit much to share the day. How the he'll did we manage that.
We haven't counted chickens yet but so far everything is as it should be. Everyone is excited. I'm about ready to explode with so many emotions I barely know how I actually feel.
The NHS have been amazing. They have litterally bent over backwards with almost weekly scans on things I've never heard of before. Again my work have just let me do what I've needed to do without so much as a whimper.
It sounds silly but I've noticed the birds in the morning. Riding my bikes has become a pleasure again. I have more energy and feel like my girls are getting the real me back again.
Just one slight issue!
What the hell are we going to call him!
Congrats!
JonBoyJnr. Obvs.

JonBoyJnr "Daddy, how did I get my name"
Jonboy "Well son, there is this hive mind.........."
Excellent JonBoy, all the best 🙂
Glad to hear it Jonboy. We lost twins 13 weeks ago at 23 weeks. The light at the end of the tunnel looks like an oncoming train at the moment. Our boys were named Ethan and Joel so my vote is for those names
That's great :D. Best of luck to you all.
😀
Oh, and Wolfgang!
Good luck, JB. Give him a proper name like Dave or something. Not one of these new fangled names like Jaxon.....
My son is called Edward, second choice was Thomas.
Love a bit of good news. Congratulations to Mr & Mrs JonBoy.
Paul is a very classic name....
Nice.
congrats to you and the missus and all the very best.
Bennett / Thaddeus / Aaron
At the end of the day only you and your wife will know what inspires you to bestow your son your chosen name for him.. all the best.
Nice is a weird name
And awesome 🙂
Wishing you and your family all the best wishes.
Call him Mervyn
Bob, definitely Bob.
Or Stanley.
Feeling the love here, guys, just feeling the love:-)
Awesome news.
You should name him "Little Alan" after an illustrious forum member.
Or George. if you're a Star Wars fan.
Do not call him Percy.....people will only misspell it.
Nice one mate *nods slowly*
Michael is a classic excellent name.
Good news 🙂
I met a lad recently called Nimrod, apparently it means 'great hunter' I thought that was an ace name.
Give him a proper name like Dave or something
Yeah, after Rodney.
Great news. Brightened up my day. Name him after your bike. Unless you have a Trigger...
Great news OP. Tremendous courage from you and your wife. Wish you all the best for your new arrival.
Good news all round!
Call him STeW
Good stuff!
James is an awesome name cos that's what I is named.

big yim - MemberWe lost twins 13 weeks ago at 23 weeks. The light at the end of the tunnel looks like an oncoming train at the moment. Our boys were named Ethan and Joel so my vote is for those names
I noticed this within the previous posts. Very sorry to hear that big yim.....
Can't imagine how people cope with that trauma. I hope you are bearing up....
Great news!
Congratulations to all the family.
Not sure about the name,I'm sure someone will suggest something appropriate.
Happy days, the world needs more boys named Jon
Excellent stuff. A nice lift for the morning.
Names, obviously you have to choose from [url= http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068149/?ref_=nv_sr_1 ]here[/url]!
- Jim-Bob, Jason, Ben, or maybe Mary-Ellen (risk with that last of being nicknamed Hairy Melon)
Great post and Max of course defiantly NOT Maxwell unless you want him to grow up having detention most days due to scuffles with "mates" taking the mick, best thing is mom wanted to call me Simon but thought I'd have the mickey taken out of me....
Congratulations - great news.
We were having a conversation about names last week and apparently there are no enough Gary's in the world, so go with Gary and save the name from becoming extinct. 😀
I'm sorry, but you're all wrong, either 'Pedro' or 'Clint'.
</end of thread>
PS: Fab news fella, at the end of the day it doesn't matter what he's called as long as he's loved (and it sounds like he will be). 🙂
PPS: As long as he's called @pedro' or 'Clint' obvs

Definitely Wigbert or Albert, I hear Joseph is a good one.
