Update on middle name

[twinmummy2be]

Hi

Hope this isn't too sad a post for the new year but just wanted to update you....

I posted a while back that we were thinking of using my brother-in-laws name as middle name if we had a boy as he has inoperable cancer but i was worried about how my sister or he would feel. Thanks to all of you that gave me some advice. We decided to wait until we knew one baby was definatley a boy at the scan before xmas and then decide what to do.

We hadn't expected him to be here for xmas but he's a fighter and seems to be proving the doc's wrong so we were able to spend a lovely last xmas and new year with him.

Before we left I spoke to my sis and told her we would like to do it but only if she was OK with it and it wouldn't be too painful for her. We both ended up in tears but she loved the idea and was really touched. Bruv-in-law going back to the hospice today and we are going to tell him when we next visit.

So it's currently Jack Clive Thomas for my boy baba - Jack seems to be the only name we chose early on that has stuck (although it could still change) - still no definate names for the girl baba!

Glad your bro-in-law was well enough to spend xmas and new year with you all a lovely gesture for you to use his name as middle name, no wonder your sis was so touched, bet your bro-in-law will be too

I think it's a lovely name and something nice to remember your bil with

By the way, did you know that Thomas actually means 'the devoted twin'?

I chose that for my Thomas even before I knew there were two of them
