The Kalahari Bonging School for Men (No1 Babies Detective Agency pt2)

hi!

I'm totally nervous and pooping my pants about my op now. Its next thurs.

My mums coming down to give me some tlc, so together with DH i think I'll be totally spoiled.

Its not going to be pleasant.

stil, the sooner its done the sooner i can get on with ttc again.

Still no period though ladies! A bit woried now (last af june)

Thanks Gilly!

Re: pushchairs, with mistle on this. Get number 1 walking asap. Avoids the need for pushing heavy double pushchair over uneven ground....and leaves more room for shopping in seat of walking child!

I'd go for something like M&P Pliko or Silver Cross 3D pramette, as they both collapse down small, anmd easily- for car and public transport. Bugaboo is such a nightmare to fold down when you need to.

Gilly - I tried accupuncture (mainly to try to get healthier after chemo, but also to help ttc) 1st time - and did carry on throughout - very helpful, otherwise I'd have ended up at Doctors lots of times not being able to breathe properly - accupuncture sorted this out. Need to plan to go c. 1 every 2wks to keep on top of things. Need to find good practitioner - there is a Directory of Chinese Medcine Practitioners (or something like that) that shows you which ones locally are qualified and belong to the relevant body. Perhaps your Doctors might even be able to recommend someone locally.

I've seen the double P+T - they do look great, although can't see me pushing 2yo plus another along over rough ground! Suggest that you get dcs out to walk as soon as possible - ds, just under 2.6 can go about 2.5miles or so under own steam most days. He was out pushing the buggy along like a rugby player before he could walk unaided...

***= surname just so you know

Hello all- think I have found my spiritual home with you Kalahari ladies....went to Peter Jones yesterday just to try out pushchairs (still ttc 18 months after starting.) Having been a nanny for 11 years, I like to keep up to date!

On the subject of names, DH and I have picked ours- spent the whole of our wedding anniversary trip deciding!

George William Grafton **
Cecily Jean Temple **

Seeing them written down, they look quite pretentious, but have a lot of meaning.

hey Gilly, and anyone else who recognises me!

Also grobag supporter - particularly good in cooler weather as you can put them in for last feed and cuddle and then put them down still all snuggly and warm rather than into cold sheets and blankets. There is also a travel one which is fantastic for journeys at night (which, btw, is one of the best times to go once they are no longer babies)

Like some of the names.

Caution Ready (I think) - Scarlett seems to be very popular at the moment - 3 in ds's group at nursery

don't be silly Ready, I love looking at other people's fantasy shopping, get posting!!!!!!!

I love the grobags, both my dc used them until they were 3 and they are fabulous.

Did I overdo the posting?? I'll get my coat.

Me again more cute stuff

OK. I really need to stop dreaming... and go and watch the England match. Hope everyone is enjoying the lovely weather thoughts on this??

cute cute cute

OMG!!! Just came across this... am I the only one who thinks this is totally cute?????

I've got the shopping bug too

i-candy apple

ooooooooh. Nomore - I am loving that phil& ted's - is there a picture of it completely flat for newborns?? That's what I love about the Bug, is the proper pram shape attachment. I hope I didn't offend you calling you a pram slut
You give in far too easily with telling us the names I won't tell anyone, I promise. Lilia is an utterly gorgeous name, it has a lovely flow... what would you have as a middle name?

Kensgirl - I like your thinking regarding the throes of labour as a bargaining tool. I might have to out Imogen back on the table ... just wanted to say again how chuffed I am at your all-clear news.

Sybil - I totally love Aidan... I am half Irish, and am always drawn to Celtic names. DH has to reign me in at times. I love Rhiannon but he thinks it's too Irish. I find boys names far easier, I could have a football team, no worries . But girls names are a struggle for me. I don't want anything too popular, but all the names I really love are not as unique as I would like.

Hi all, hope everyone's having a good weekend. Good to see you around again Nomore, and I think Lilia is lovely. I would have Rose as a middle name to my Genevieve, although I find boys names much more tricky. I think Aidan is possibly my favourite at the moment although this changes all the time!

I also like Imogen, and I love both Isabelle and Charlotte but they have become just too popular.

Hi Nomore,its good to see you around again . What are your favoutites in the name game?

OOh, glad you like Imogen, Ready. My dh isn't keen either, but I imagine that when I'm in the throes of labour agony, that he can't really deny me anything !

Nomore - Glad you are ok I have to say, you are a total pram slut What's the phil and ted's like again?? My friend has an i-candy - it looks really cool.
PMSL at you and your DH having the power of veto... reminds me of Friends... Sequoia, James (for a girl), Dayton, Sandrine

Kensgirl - I loooove the name Imogen, but DH doesn't. Boooooooo. I like Isobel - I wonder how it was originally spelt, there are lots of variations aren't there
