    DS1 just learned a valuable life lesson.... don't stick things in your peepee.

    I didn't even know that you could stick things in it :confused:
  • Mrs Tine - can I ask why if you don't believe are you having Roo baptised so she can be buried in a churchyard?

    We will have a secular version of godparents as we are not religious and I can't really understand why people pick bits of religion like getting married in church and saying things they don't believe (photo opps? they think it's only 'proper' in a church?:confused:). We had a humanist wedding (we got to write every word) which was amazing so will probably follow a humanist model for naming. You can kind of pick your alternative name for them guideparents or even oddparents :D have been used.

    I really like the idea of a naming ceremony as a way of marking your baby's entrance into the world with your nearest and dearest... I don't think it has to have any religious connotations though unless you are a believer...

    Is it too early to go to bed?

    I'm sooo tired I'm almost falling asleep at the laptop! DS went to bed 15 mins ago and DH is snoring on the sofa. Haven't done the sandwiches for all our lunches tomorrow yet though. I could always do them in the morning :)

    I've only got 3 and a half weeks left at work now! Got another growth scan next week, so will see if they can see for definite yet that it's a girl, and also whether she's turned yet - don't think she has though!

    Yep, definitely going to bed - better make the most of it whilst I can!

    evening all!!
    taken me a while to catch up but i think i am done.

    Glam- hope everthing goes ok tomorrow. i'm gonna try and sneak a look at work to see how you get on!!

    Tigster- the booking in appointment with midwife maybe where they get all your medical history, go through all the blood tests etc. i'm under the Pennine Trust and whilst i saw a midwife at 8 weeks, i had my main appointment at 12 weeks just after i had my scan. some trusts scan you first to make sure all is ok and then go through all the tests, hsistory and current medical status.

    having said that all the tests i;ve had not one letter to say all ok. so i am taking it that seeing as no news is good news. all is fine.
    next scan is 2 weeks!! (not finding out the flavour)

    thanks Jillie

    Got some stuff to do in town with OH after scan so might not get on her until after 5. I also assumed all my booking in bloods were normal as I didn't hear otherwise :confused:

    Perhaps Manchester Central figure they don't want to waste the community midwives' time until the scan proves there's a viable baby in there? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
