I've been wondering how she's doing too.
She isn't due yet is she?
Go ahead with your poll Jabber - even the damn sonographer cant decide what I am having. 
Christine - I am going OK, we have just been down to Melbourne to take Tyler to Santa's Kingdom and then to the Zoo...wasnt the smartest idea, but I wanted to get down there before it got REALLY hot and I could still waddle a little.
Needless to say, Santa isnt any less scary this year than he was last year, but Tyler quite enjoyed the elves and Santa's Village.
Mrs M - I have 4 weeks to go..4..very..long..weeks!! and a sick Toddler.
For the record, I am due on the 6th, missed Tyler's due date by 34 minutes and have monster babies

I thought you had a month or so left, Lexi. I figured you were busy with Holiday things. Alexis was horrified when she got close to Santa. She wrapped around my leg so tight I thought she was part boa constrictor!
Hi Lexie,
At least Tyler had fun.
What does Santa wear in Australia? He'd probably roast to death in the heavy suit he wears here.
Have you decided on the baby's name?

Oops! Guess most folks know I meant "pool" instead of "poll".
Thanks for the update, Lexie! Since you seem predestined to grow HUGE babies, why don't you "pick" an earlier delivery date? You could have a "New Year's Baby"!

Lol, Jabber, I'll bet she wishes she could do just that!
Christine - we have *kinda* decided on names, we have 2 picked out for a girl and nearly 1 picked out for a boy.
Boys names are hard to pick, its funny, American place names are quite popular over here at present for babies names...but it feels weird having one of them when you have Yanks in the family.
Unknown to me, one of the girls names I suggested (its in our final 2) is an American place name.
Jab - well according to the sonographer, I might not be having a monster this time, so they are going to let me *try* naturally, rather than selecting a birth date.
I really wanted to pick Tyler's, then he would of been a 03.03.03 baby, but that wasnt too be.
New Year's baby would be cool, knowing the birth date would certainly make organising a babysitter alot easier.

What do you mean by an American place name...like Liberty or Carolina or something?
Like Memphis and Dakotah,also Aussie place names are popular...Sydney and Melbourne.
I am not really into *fad* names, or the old fashioned names, "Emily" has been the most popular girls name 3 years running.

Liberty and Carolina are too. I thought that was what you meant.
I'd avoid Death Valley as a name.
Trees are popular. Someone just named their child Apple.
There was a little Cuban girl in Naples named America.
Or maybe Georgia...I may be on a roll here!
Mrs. M., are you by any chance in the throes of an identity crisis? I noticed the flashing van and the new name.
People name their kids all sorts of things. I heard about Apple. Didn't Frank Zappa name his kid Moonbeam or something like that?
I've heard of someone who was named Mary Christmas.

Falcon, yes, I am !
My uncle offered me fifty dollars to name my first son Christian Peepers. That was more than a weeks wages then. He said he would be a success in life as he would learn to stand up for himself. Well, my uncle's name was Homer Odelite and he was a millionaire, so maybe it was fact! Lol! I turned it down.
Arizona, Sydney, Carolina, Georgia, Cheyanne, Paris, Chelsea, Tama, Laramie, Colby, Cherokee, and of course Tyler, MN., but that's taken..hey this might put my little town on the map! ...just teasing, Lexie!
...just teasing, Lexie!
Names are difficult, you have to think of the teasing factor, the initials factor and then some have family tradition to think of.
Being the 14th great grandchild and 8th grandchild, all the family names (that are any good) and all used up, well, there is Berryl, but that AINT happening.
I think we are pretty set with names for a boy or a girl now, although it appears that one of my boy names is an American place name too ;p

Are you going to tell us?
That is pretty funny!
Nope - not telling you only have another few weeks to wait anyways
R2 - that thing named my child Mercedes and Damien.

Trees?
Oak, Elm, Horse Chestnut, Service?
Australian place names? Wagga Wagga, Bondi Beach?
American place names?
Rhode Island, Tombstone, Murfreesboro, Sioux Rock, Mount Ida?
The other kids at primary school will have a field day!

Suggestion to all new parents. Get your child tattoed with 666 on their head whilst they're too young to remember. Then watch the fun when they discover the tattoo in later life (they need to have seen The Omen at some stage for best effect).

Hey Mike, I used to live in Murfreesboro! Nice place, but the child could be 12 before he learned to spell it!
Add Asia to the list!

Hi Serenity
Good job people in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch don't name their kids after their place of birth! Just think what I would have to do to my database structures!
(Village in Anglesey, UK, referred to as Llanfair PG, with a much-photographed sign)

Mike, I'm not old enough to pronounce, forget spelling it! LOL!
That's in Wales for those that don't know - it's part of the British Island where it rains a lot and is mostly populated with sheep.

I'll bet they(not the sheep) had a good laugh when they named it!

Now "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwll Llantysiliogogogoch" can proudly join other famous names on the world wide web.
Residents of the village - whose name means St Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St Tysilio of the red cave - now hope that visitors from all over the world will be able to learn more of their community.
Stunt
The village is no stranger to self-promotion - the name itself was a publicity stunt.
Until the 19th century the village on the island of Anglesey was known as Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll (St Mary's church near the pool by the white hazels).
But with the advent of the railways and the development of a line between Chester and Holyhead, a local committee was formed to devise ways of attracting trains and tourists to the area.
Unfortunately, it is not clear who actually came up with the new name, but it is thought to be the invention of a cobbler from nearby Menai Bridge.
The village now retains its original name on sign posts, but it is known in Wales as Llanfair PG.
With the latest internet venture, it is clear the tradition of finding new ways of attracting visitors to the village has not waned.
If you go to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwll-llantysiliogogogoch and ask nicely, the lady at the tourist information office will pronounce the name of her town. She gets asked that question at least 30 times a day. Originally the town had a shorter, easier to pronounce name: Llanfairpwllgwyngyll.
In the 1880s, in a joking attempt to attract tourists, a tailor added the rest of the syllables, bringing the total length to 58 letters.
Well now the longest Longest URL Address in the world is really going to make people visit the town.
