    God parents - Roo is being christened although we don't believe... The only reason is really that should anything happen then unless Roo is christened she wouldn't be allowed to be buried or married in the village church...
    ANYWAY - At the moment Roo is going to have 2 Godparents although that might become 3 ;) If my mate is back from Afghanistan in time then she'll have 3 :D

    On Hollyoaks the other day they had 'guide parents' rather than godparents. I am Jewish but I like the idea of Beanie having someone else special in her life she can turn to.

    I was brought up Catholic & the fashion (at least then) was to have 1 godfather & 1 godmother & that's what I have.
    Different subject - who's had itchy skin, esp lower legs & does it mean anything I ought to see MW about? Not that I'm seeking medical advice MrsT :) ! just different experiences. I could go over my legs with a cheese grater & it's driving me dippy! Had similar problem years ago, but over whole body, & blood tests showed nothing, dr thinks it was just supersensitive skin, poss connected with hayfever & family history of related allergies. Any ideas?

    Aimee has 6 god parents... I'm particularly greedy ;)

    Actually, it stems from having her baptised when she was a few months old, I chose my Nan, my best friend at the time, my sister and my brother... Fast forward 3 years and we regularly attend a different church that has a 'beliver baptism' ethos... We don't christen or baptise babies, we dedicate them to God and the church and when they are old enough they can choose to be baptised themselves... I had her dedicated about a month after I officially became a member of the church and chose 2 Godparents who I am particularly close to and who attend the same church... This time around it's going to be a bit difficult... I can't bring myself to ask people to be Godparents who I know have no belief... It belittles the process... But at the same time, I know my sister will be expecting to be asked... and hubby's sister has already asked him if she can be... I'm trying not to think about it unless I have to really....

    My wonderful hubby just came home... With a mini Liverpool football kit... An iPod Touch (and speakers) and a box of Krispy Kreme Donuts... Did I mention I love that man?!
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Get it checked out anyway :) it COULD be a liver problem I think it is :) OR it could just be because you're swelling (sorry lol) and that could make you itch too :) But you should play it safe and check with the GP really...

    Personally yes I get itchy feet and alledgedly I'm fine ;) moisturising and baths with moisturing stuff in them seem to help to a degree :)

    It seems that the MW's want to book me in for a Csection but the consultants like the fact that I dont want one. So the consultants are encouraging a natural breech birth but the MW's are promoting Csections.... me thinks the left hand needs to speak to the right hand lol. :rotfl: That may just be the halifax area though.:rolleyes:

    How appalling & the nerve of the woman to blame the MW! Is it just a tragic accident, based on normal practice in her native country, 'cos I can't believe someone would be so cavalier with the lives of their child(ren)?

    Well now, just because you might see something sitting around, doesn't mean you have to go all DIY okay?
