I tried playing while pregnant, but had major difficulties. I found it really difficult to get pregnant (maybe it's 'cos I'm a bloke) :lol:

I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.

margaret,

yes, I've seen it - and I seem to remember enjoying beer and curry in a Thai restaurant whilst I watched it (I may be delusional here - I've watched so many films in Thai restaurants, aircraft and other non-home places). It still didn't get me pregnant. 8)

I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.

The Braxton Hicks? Isn't that a country and western band. :lol:

I've had a lot of sobering thoughts in my time.
It was them that turned me to drink.

What? Hillbilly Deluxe wouldn't be a good lulaby? What about Whiskey Lulaby?

:lol: Cute "pacies" there, UCG!

Our next door neighbors just had their first baby two nights ago, and brought him home today. :D Can't wait to meet the little guy but figure we should let them settle in a little first. They named him Evan Christopher.

I'm sure you're going to need our help thinking up names, aren't you?? :wink:

I love babies! I get misty when I see a young mommy pushing a stroller down the sidewalk, and I remember those days.

Yes, I need lots of help thinking up names. My husband and I try but we always end up with silly ones. Right now I am telling everyone who asks about a name that we have decided on the name Gnarls. Or Gnarlie for a girl, hehe. Of course that isn't the real name but that is what all my family and friends call him/her now.

Suggestions are welcome. :)

I've always felt "saddled" by my own name--Margaret was the nerdy girl in Dennis the Menace, and somebody's big, bad wife (maybe Mr. Mooney's??) on tv. As a kid I fantasized about the day I'd be old enough to legally change my given name. :( Obviously, I never went through with it and have just come to terms with it. So choosing names for my kids was a really big deal to me, since I didn't want to give them something they'd hate their entire lives.

Here are two different-ish boys names I kinda liked when we were thinking of names:

Maverick (poss. nicks of Mav or Mick or Rick)

McCormick (poss. nicks of Corey, Mick or Mac)

My husband wouldn't hear of either of them, so they got hatcheted from the list, but I still think they're cool.

A girl's name I had picked out if we'd had a second girl was Amalia. Could go by Molly, but I like the full Amalia.

Gnarls isn't bad, actually. I can see it being a nickname, at least. :D

There are so many possible guitar-related names.
Leo
Gibson
James Marshall
Etc.
:D

Then there are your various favorite performers...
