I am 39w pg and dh and I have to travel to his home town to fill in some paperwork. the idiot has neglected to book us a hotel or even a B&B, we dont even know whether there is even a hospital nearby, at this rate I'll be giving rate in a bleddy barn!

part of me thinks he has done this on purpose (baby isnt his) AIBU to be flaming furious with him?

Don't worry, my 4yo daughter is married to an inn keeper and says I'm to ask if you'd like to use their stable? It doesn't have electric light, but she has a lantern and everything to show you the way. She says she thinks their might be an old manger knocking about in there too, which you could use as a makeshift cot. Grin

Well the donkey is ready. All packed. He cost me 1000 sheckels, so if you crush him with your fat arse there will be hell to pay!

watch out though virgin lizzies ds is a bit preciouse though isnt he.

she has him as some sort of g&t prophet. your children may be forever compared and forced to out do each other.

its seems as her dh isnt talking to her she puts all her efforts into ds.

shes mixing with those apocolyptic types and luke is a very heavy influence. Just make sure you ds follows his own path, you wouldnt want him living under her ds shadow.

gandalf, I like that! i know dh would like a girl, but im certain this is a boy.

timeforabiscuit, I hadnt even considered temples! we shall be living in nazereth, know any good ones? I think we shall be using judas for one of our future children. this one doesnt feel like a judas...

I think you should call it Nevaeh if it's a girl. It's heaven backwards, see?

Timeforabiscuit · 16/12/2010 21:55

Have you thought about Early Years provision yet? Never to early to reserve a place at temple!

stillavirgin · 16/12/2010 21:53

nuttysanta, she is a great mum. she adores her ds and has very high hopes for him.

I always had a soft spot for Judas - the kind of guy who would always profit/prophet from a situation

NuttySanta · 16/12/2010 21:51

Oi! Nothing wrong with an older Mum's. Their very good. My Aunt Rachel was Fab. Xmas Angry

stillavirgin · 16/12/2010 21:51

i did consider judas, but dh thinks it sounds sneaky.

my favourite is jedaiah though

stillavirgin · 16/12/2010 21:48

i know it all sounds rather far-fetched (hence the worry that I would be called a troll) but elizabeth (my cousin) has been trying for a baby for years. she is now in her 40's. her ds, john, is quite wonderful. she still cant believe her luck. apparently the conception wasnt entirely natural, but she is just grateful.

bonzo, dh has said that he will walk and let me ride the donkey all the way. I told him he better bloody well had!

tomhardy, i was not happy, butr what can I do? we are still very close.

avantia, I like that!

blackeyedsusan · 16/12/2010 21:46

Oh, just reread your thread. Gabriel involved with Elizabeth too? Bet her dh didn't speak to her for months after that!

Avantia · 16/12/2010 21:42

Jake ?

mothernature · 16/12/2010 21:42

I like the name Immanuel but if your looking for a J name JC sounds kinda cool...

NuttySanta · 16/12/2010 21:40

Jordan? or Jacee or Jabarae or mix your name with Dh's, Jary very in at the mo. Jason very popular Greek name.

blackeyedsusan · 16/12/2010 21:39

What do you mean? Elizabeth's had a baby too?
At her age? Did she go abroad for IVF? Oo I love a good gossip!

BonzoDooDah · 16/12/2010 21:39

Oh StillaV poor you travelling all that way. Just remember when the baby is born not to go wearing yourself out with too many visitors. They turn up at all hours expecting to worship have a cuddle of the baby. How can a new mother get BF established with visitors popping in and out unannounced?

tomhardyismydh · 16/12/2010 21:37

i read your other thread about your dc stealing your name thats a real shame i liked john baptist, very modern.

you need to go with something far more original.

hmmm J names, your in a difficult stuation here It would not be appropriate to name him joseph, what is gabriels thoughts on names?

Avantia · 16/12/2010 21:36

16yrs old, DH not baby's father - Jesus !

stillavirgin · 16/12/2010 21:35

ratspeaker, he did. our babies will be very close in age, I hope they will be friends. she was believed to be barren you know? just goes to show, miracles CAN happen.
