Lucie had the "oh my god how on earth are we going to afford a baby?" panic last night. So at least we've both had it and got it over and done with.

We need a name to call the baby. We already know what we are going to call him or her after the birth, but we need something to refer to him or her whilst in the womb. For example, one of my nieces was always "titch", Andy and Chrystal used "squidge". I am thinking "pip" because I still can't get my head around the fact that at the moment he or she is the size of an apple pip, but by the time the first scan is due in a couple of weeks will be over an inch tall. I have to run it by Lucie and come to a consensus.

In the biggest news of the day, Lu's mum text her at a stupid hour this morning to say that she is very happy for us both, we'll make great parents and she is really looking forward to becoming a grandmother. I knew that she'd come around eventually. But we still haven't told her dad...
