Antoinette was just in the office and we were all talking baby names.
She said that if she had a boy, she had Liam Patrick in mind. For a girl, she was considering Shanae. Her hubby apparently really likes the name Patrick and if they called their son that, he’d be able to call him […]

I change my mind.
I don’t want to wait until September.
I want to try now.

One of my girlfriends at work, Antoinette, has been trying for the past couple of months and she just called me to say that she’s knocked up!
Fantastic news!! Especially as she has a condition that makes it very difficult for her to get pregnant. I’m going to have to look for a small gift for […]

Starting the trying phase in September, we were told that we were mad. That we should wait another month to ensure birth is in July next year as the baby bonus would be going up from $3000 to $5000.
