What nonsense are you talking now? Dinner is off the list, kid is shoved out the door, the night is still young. And this blanket is feeling awfully empty.

Phew!

*grabs overnight bag, just-in-case, and skips merrily to the car*

See you soon Liar dear. Save my spot on the blanket?

Slower on the weekends, dear -- time usually goes much slower around 5:00 Fridays....
 
Honey,

That would explain a lot....at least the universe slows down on a Friday and not just me (hey, the therapy bills you have just saved are worth a champagne lunch, alone :)

To ensure this remains on an unrelated note, as per the thread, I really have to comment that there is nothing more incredible than the eyes. If I could sail the eyes of every soul out there, in that big old ocean of ours, I just know I would have charted every course on the menu.
 
I'd much rather be safe than sorry and so I'll crave a drink and bitch and moan about not being able to have one but I won't do my child or myself that particular injustice. I'd also like a whole carton of smokes but ditto on the attitude

Rant all you want, everyone's hear to listen. May you have a beautiful, healthy baby.

By the way, when is the blessed event supposed to be?
 
You can hear an echo in here tonite......Helllllllooooooooooooo

Hellllllooooooo..........
 
this is like the dawn of the dead and we are just waiting to be eaten by zombies.
 
:p

I can do my part to help while we're waiting,

:)

It's always a long wait when one is waiting to be eaten.
 
I like those old "B" movies myself...shit, i forgot I rented and they are due back tomorrow....finally say the first...KILL BILL, now I can't wait to see the second one.
 
I love champagne lunches.....so you owe me....that echo is in my head, dammit (HELLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOO)

Did someone mention being eaten???

Renza, darlin' rant and rave in my ear....I promise I will rub your tummy nice and easy....

lol the beginning of aug or so and we'll see how blessed the event is. Anything more than three hours of labor and blessed is not going to be one of the words coming from these lips. ;)

That's all I can say,.......
 
"Dreamed" and "dreamt" are both correct past and past part. of "dream", but most people tend to prefer, "dreamed".

"...there are things in Heaven and earth...that are undreamt of in your philosopy."

If it's good enough for Shakespeare it oughta be good enough for us.

That chicken something recipe sounds good, I might make it up sometime!

Apropos of whether Renza should have a drink while she's PG, I agree with the consensus that she's probably better off teetotalling, but really, there's need of more research WRT what you can do while you're pregnant, and chances are, we're going to get it...

My MIL was told by her doctor that she ought to have a little glass of red wine while she was pregnant; it would enrich her blood. This of course is nonsense but there is some virtue in red wine (although the same antioxidant properties can be found in dark grapes). My MIL's mother had been told (and she believed it and passed it on to her daughter) that if you reached above your head, your baby would strangled by its umbilical cord. Babies' umbilical cords get twisted and knotted all the time, but this is due to the actions of the baby, turning and somersaulting in the womb, certainly not by the mother reaching above her head. My son's umbilical cord was found to be tied in a loose knot.

My son has ADD in addition to his Asperger's. Now, I think I might have had, maybe one cup of ale and half a split of champagne throughout my entire pregnancy; no more. OTOH, I worked for a small publishing company where everyone smoked but me. I didn't need to smoke; the 3 or so other people who worked with me smoked until the visibility in the room was actually reduced.

The consensus among the autism spectrum community is that Asperger's runs in families, but I have always been suspicious about the other, the ADD, what with having to breathe in all that second-hand smoke.

They may not be coming from your lips then, but later...

Ladies. Do all women get selective amnesia? I remember when my first daughter was born. My wife had every complication of pregnancy known to exist, and some that I'm sure originated with her. The least of which was that she had morning, noon, and night sicknes for 7 straight months. Then she was in labor 30 hours before they finally did a C-section.

Throughout the entire pregnancy and delivery, she complained constantly that if she lived through it, once was enough. Frankly, I didn't blame her one bit.

Thank God, my wife and daughter both came through everything perfectly healthy, but when my wife woke up after the C-section, she looked up at me and I swear the very first words out of her mouth were "That wasn't that bad."

My son has ADD also, and he had a knot too. I was very careful with my pregnancy with him, no alcohol, cigs, caffine, lunch meats, you name it, I ate very healthy, yet he was premature and only weighed 4lb 6oz at birth.
With my daughter, I wasn't as careful about what I ate, she was two weeks late and an emergency C-section.

All I know is, he is the one that is always ready to go right away and she always drags her feet.

Something there? Hmmm.

~A~

Yep, us women are tough. :D

Nah, it's not that. Childbirth hurts like hell - it is the most painful experience I have ever known, for sure (trying passing a watermelon out your arse!), but it is a worthwhile pain.

It is excruciating, but glorious, both at the same time.

I gave birth to both my girls, naturally, without any painkillers, gas and air, or anything like that. I did have them both in hospital, but it was a low risk widwife unit. With the first one I was in labour for 36 hours, and they kept saying they wanted to induce me and speed things up, but I resisted. Her heartbeat was fine and she wasn't under any stress, so I just held on. Bloody hell, it hurt, but my hubby was there the whole time, massaging my back and just talking to me.

Also, the night Chloe was born was the night of the England - Germany match, Euro '96. I doubt any of you overseas will see the significance of this, but fellow English people will. We had it playing on the radio, in the delivery room. I took out all my agression and frustation out on Gareth Southgate (the guy that missed the last penalty). The names I called him, while in the full throws of contractions. The midwife was horrified. :eek: Great distraction, though!

Ummm, gone off track a bit. Oh yeah! I had Chloe, and immediately forgot about all the pain I'd just been through. I already knew I wanted more than one child, so, 17 months later, I was back there again giving birth to Georgina.

As any new Mum knows, the hard work begins once you get them home. :)

Lou :rose:

P.S. Renza... lavendar oil, massaged into your back during delivery helps no end. Make sure the Mrs. has a good supply. ;)
