We both found it so much easier thinking of boys names! lol.

[libertie]

Great news nat, many congrats to you both! Hope everything goes well, enjoy your pregnancy and make sure that you let Mr Nat spoil you! I'm sure Miss Nat will be a beutiful healthy baby! xXx

[redcrx]

ooooh congratulations!

a little girl, bless.

Olivia is a beautiful name, thatd get my vote lol

Glad alls well xxxx

[JOEYGREEN]

All of those names are lovely. In fact there are two on there that we liked if we had a girl, but we had a boy. My fiance's mum also said the same about Holly but I love it. Well congrats again! Go and have a bowl of pickled onions to celebrate! lol

[nat_84]

thanks u girls/guys!!

The scan was amazing, saw every little detail!

She's a modest little girl aswell which is a good start ..as she crossed her legs once she figured we were all having a good look to figure out her sex! lol.

[Sasha13]

Is your man stll threatening to put her up for sale on Ebay?!!

Congrats! x

[libertie]

Well it's a good job her mum wasn't too modest eh! :o) x

[RATTER15]

Fantastic news nat_84!!!!! carakeel and myself wish you all the luck in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's made my day!! what a lovely thing to brighten a day!!

[loobie]

Aww congrats hunni!! I love the name Olivia but Mia's really lovely too!! Big hugs to you xxx

[4getmenot]

Congrats Nat. I like Mia thats a lovely name. :-)

[nat_84]

lol u lot!

libertie i heard that one a couple of times yesterday! lol.


lol Sasha! No i think he's rather happy now! He's grown up with women all his life (lost his dad when he was only 8) so it would have been nice for him to have a little man in his life but he has a nephew due so he's lucky enough to have both now!

Thanks everyone! i really appreciate it! Couldnt stop smiling yesterday and can't stop smiling today!!

xxxx

Those that know anything about babys.... the only downside to our scan was she said the babys a little smaller than the average so we have to go back for a growth scan?! Anything i can do differently? i eat well, have never really had a big appetite and i'm quite small myself! :oS

[Pippa68]

Oh nat..I was itching to post a Q yesterday about you. It comes to something when I can't concentrate for thinking about someome I have never actually 'met' LOL!

Sooooo pleased for you hun. I was actually going to bet on a boy..oh well ;o)

For what it's worth, Mr P is a dad to 3 girlies (luckily all he ever wanted) and is as proud as punch with all of them. He does have my son to redress the balance and loves being stepdad to him ~ but 'his girls' are his life. They will always run to daddy all their life!

As for the growth thin, don't worry about it too much hun ~ there is time to catch up, and if you are naturally small your little girl may be the same. Just make sure you eat as healthily as you can ~ little & often is best.

I am chuffed to bits for ya..I have a tear welling up *sniff*

[Craig007]

Congrats Nat, maybe you could call her Thierry? :o)
Will you do me a favour and vote on my thread in football please?
1 of the bouts in "Prem toughest managers" is tied at the mo and i need to set up the last 8 before i go on a dirty weekend... with my wife!! :o)

Thanks.

[nat_84]

awww Pippa ur so sweet! Thanks so much!

We're both just so happy!!! Boy or Girl?! Who really cares aslong as they're happy and healthy!

The growth scan is just another opportunity for us to see her!! So funny how they seem so cheeky already!! lol.

[nat_84]

lol craig - how about Thierria...slightly more feminine! lol.

[Pippa68]

Well exactly, nat!

It is a bit of a myth about men wanting sons anyway, I reckon. I have met so many men who have said they don't mind what thy have as long as they get a daughter at some point :o)

As the saying goes: ''A daughter is a daughter all your life, a son is a son 'til he takes a wife''

Anyway, no matter what the gender I knew all along that your little one would be well loved & treasured..I could feel it!

*Pippa goes off to sob uncontrollably*

Damn those hormones!!

[helliebobs]

Congratulations Nat! You've got some lovely names there - love Mia but that is the name of one of my best friends so I am slightly biased - love Georgia as well. You have plenty of time to decide yet. Names have been a constant battle with me and my husband as we couldn't agree on any - boy or girl!
Good luck with your growth scan - don't worry about it too much, like Pippa said, there is still time for her to catch up!
