Today we will mostly be having a baby

Mrs GeeTee is booked in today for a trapdoorectomy so by around 2pm we should be up to our eyes in vermix and breast milk 😀

It’s our second but for some reason I’m more apprehensive this time round than first but I’m sure it’s going to be fun!

We’re still debating names. I like Reuben and she likes Isaac. What does the hive think?

I think that if you want to be shouting ‘Roo! Roo! Stop it Roo!’ in a slightly posh but ineffectual voice when visiting the park in a few years time you whould go for your choice 😉

Hope all goes well with the operation later.

Good luck. I am gifted with an unusual name it does now fit me but did mark me out at school l could never get away with anything as teachers and pupils always remembered who I was.

As will we. Mrs Benjamin’s has just broken her waters everywhere and started contracting. Feeling a tad nervous!

Our local playground on a Sunday morning. One dad shouts ISAAC!!, 30% of the kids turn around

@geetee

Excited for you. For us the second was almost a bigger life changer than number 1.

I’m not so keen on those names for a girl ! i hope that’s because you know what you are having …

@benjamins

Thanks for sharing that, just had my breakfast 🙂 Good luck.

Both of you keep us posted.

How about Naylord ?… (kidding)
🙂

Congrats !, good stuff. Hope all goes fine for team GeeTee today 😀

EDIT:
Yeah, all the best to Ben, too !.
😀

Good luck to those about to become parents (again). Remember not to mention to the missus that it looks nice out and that you’d rather be riding.

Good luck to both ladies.

Fathers-to-be – remember you are now closer to the bottom of the domestic pecking order than ever before.

😀

good luck fella!

I thought Bradley as a name was on the cards…!

Jedediah?

Good luck guys

Billyboy don’t kid around, it was one of my suggestions. I got a thing for old testament names. Must be the catholic upbringing I still can’t shake off!

Good luck to everyone else having their lives changed today. Let’s check in this evening and see how it all went.

Hi Greg, congratulations mate.

Good luck, I was the same with my second

I’m sure it will be all fine.

remember, it’s never too late to change your mind.
I think Carl is a much under-used name these days, or Frank.

I was the same with my second

me too..

I like Methuselah, or Enoch or Stan

Congratulations. We had number 2 a fortnight ago now, and have stuck with random names from the far north/north west of Scotland. Which is unusual in Cumbria 😉

I like Reuben and she likes Isaac

My friends have twins called Reuben and Isaac. You never know….. 😉

Good luck!!!! 😀

Kronos do tell the names. Need inspiration in case we have deadlock.

Binners definitely only having one!

You never see a Burt anymore do you…

good luck neo-paternals!

Fathers-to-be – remember you are now closer to the bottom of the domestic pecking order than ever before.

So very true… 😐

Think I would go for Isaac out of them two.. I am not one to ask though, we called our two Meg and Rex 🙂

I worked with someone who’s sons were (in order, eldest first):

Issac
Noah
Jonah
Joshua
Benjamin
Elijah

We have Lachlan (oldest @ 16 months) and Hamish (2 weeks)

We have Lachlan (oldest @ 16 months) and Hamish (2 weeks)

And evidently no TV in your house…. 😉

lol

We have a Ben & Joe
15 & 13 years respectively
I’d love to say it gets easier but I was taught never to lie 😀

Good luck to all, the smell of nappy sacks does go away eventually.

Probably too early to be talking about Vasectomies.

You guys can start a thread when you are ready, ie when the wife suggests you have one 😥

WE? You’re there to provide moral support. SWMBO is doing the work 8)

Now push Mrs B, and crush his hand! 😀

Hope it goes well for you both.

Contractions getting more regular now, off to the hospital in about an hour. eek.

Topical joke : whats the difference between a midwife and a terrorist? You can negotiate with a terrorist.

Why not start each new kid’s name with the last letter of the previous one, like a fun game? We did that.. sort of.. Meg and Gwen.. not deliberately tho 🙂

The second kid is way harder I think. Say the first one takes up 75% of your time, you still have 25% left. When you have another kid taking up 75%, you have a problem. That never goes away…

Molgrips you should work for a trade union with that level of optimism.

Ones like having a pet. Two’s like running a zoo.

Goodluck Benjamins. Hope all goes well. We’re sat here waiting to go to theatre now. I’m wearing my very fetching scrubs.

This is 100% true 🙂

Good luck fella!!

Don’t look over the screen… 😕 Really… don’t 😐

Here’s to all going well for all of you.

PS. If I’d had my way my youngest would be called Stanley (it got as far as to be his middle name but it was a lost opportunity to get this great name back into circulation… other than on tools!).

I might be oversharing but I’m just excited.

Me in scrubs![/url]

It’ll look better when you get the cut down wellies on… just how much mess are they expecting to make which requires the wearing of wellies!

My two’s names still make me laugh.

When carlosg mk3 was born (breech with complications) my left arm looked like it had gone 8 rounds with a rottwieler 😯 lucky me I was wearing an old t-shirt.

Good luck to all the expecting dads XX and major respect to the laydees giving birth.

Wehey we have a boy. 8lbs 5ozs or 3.78kg basically the weight of a frame and coil shock to give you some context. No name agreed yet but mother and baby doing well.

🙂 Congratulations.

That’s brill news mate. Congrats
