    Name: Zaiga (26 weeks)
    Hubby: Walid
    --- our first baby, BOY Sofian (meaning -devoted) ---
    EDD: 9th of August, 2012
    I have battled with my husband for many girl names, but I knew already what I wanted for a boy. So, when we found out it's a boy (on 21st week), it was easy and we didn't think of names anymore.

    I am Latvian and my husband is from Algeria, we met and we live in London, United Kingdom.

    At the moment I am trying to balance my diet, (by my doctors advice I need to reduce sugar intake to the minimum) I am eating low GI food and counting calories... From time to time I go for a long walks in a park, I don't feel comfortable to run I feel that I will shake my baby too much... LOL

    P.S. I'm looking to be friends with anyone especially with mums to be who are in the same week as me.
    Enjoy the day... ;)

    Just wanted to update that we found out on Friday that we're having a boy! There's a family tradition against telling the name of the baby until after it's on the birth certificate, so let's just go with "Baby S"
