Fajita Friday 2.0 aka Celtic kitchen baby shower extravaganza the second

Original thread. Continuing here to throw @Phyllis a virtual baby shower, mumsnet style. Irish heritage and choice parenting optional, sparkly new kitchen plans essential. Fajitas and margaritas on entry. Vegan, of course.

wild, mikey, smeaton, fenella and the rest of the crew, where you at?

Can't be any worse than me. A cats scream sounds like Paul Potts in comparison. You know that weird screechy strangling noise. That. I make that sound delightful.

Gaelic I no idea how much of an bearing family history of labour has on the next generation to give birth. My incubater booted me out of her life quicker than she did her womb lol.
And yep you totally made up for nearly giving her a heart attack by asking her to be godmother.

Not at all, Sparkly... I'm sure you sing beautifully 🎤. Anyway, it doesn't matter - everyone knows that our kids think we're the best singers ever😁🎼

That's true enough Wild. The poor delusional feckers.

Anyhow I am off to bed before dh husband comes up and starts rattling the house off its hinges with his snoring. Or I may be forced into to facilitating a meeting of the ver close kind between his face and pillow.

Gaelic you just forget that last part please.

Can't sleep and place marking so I can continue to read the further adventures of Phyllis and the Friday fajitas.

I'm here! I put on noise cancelling headphones and decamped to the spare room, just woke up to feed the baby. Not fajitas though, obvs.

GaelicSiog how in this earth did you manage to bring DC to people's houses at night? I love baby Peppa but my god I don't think I could cope with the ramifications of it. She constantly wakes and will want to be social (she is a social being which she doesn't get from me) and will then be a right grump the following day because she hasn't had her 11 hours kip in her own bed.
Alas, I never thought of afternoon tea though. Not sure how I managed to hold onto my friends. Maybe it was because I was a bit behind on my friends having babies (they are all older though so does it count as being behind). I didn't even delegate a baby shower out to anyone. Is this why she is a grump if I take her out at night?

I took dc as a baby to friends' houses. In an evening it was easy - strapped in a sling and I just had to Walk around a bit every couple of hours to get her back to sleep. Or I'd bung her on a boob.

I worry sometimes what her sponge like brain may have absorbed in those impressionable months when we were cackling over prosecco and our single friend's adventures with various cockspur of men.

As a toddler the evening just starts a bit earlier and I put her down in a friend's spare room. If I can stay the night perfect. If not we head home when she wakes around midnight.

It will be fine phyllis...... or you may drop them. Please don't if they have stuck by you and are considerate enough to meet up separately to plan a group holiday rather than plan one in front of you. I can't think of any other reason they may have chosen to meet up without you when you were being just a pregnancy bore.

Please look a little closer at your sil's life. I doubt it is as perfect as you think. And even if it is, it is her life not yours. Someone in the last thread posted comparison is the thief of joy. And they are right.

Firstly it's super easy to take a baby to friends houses and just keep them happy. Newborns are amazing and either sleep or feed the whole time in a good stretchy.

Can I ask why your friends are planning on going on holiday without you? If it's their choice that's fair enough but if you've chosen not to I was wondering why.

DC having porridge for breakfast today so wavering towards his Scottish grandparents way today. DH is having a bacon sandwich to annoy me because I hate the smell. I made him get up at 5am so he's sulking 😂

Ah, can I join? I'm Scottish but that's the same right? We have macaroni Mondays and a fajita kit in our naice kitchen.
Also my SiL is so perfect she gets her arse hole bleached.
Previous thread was comedy gold, currently have a cheeky wee crush on Smeaton.

Ooh Francis I'd love a recipe for peach salsa....

Been up half the night with a baby who thinks sleeping longer than 2 hours at a time is for amateurs. DH has got up with him so I can sleep now but I can hear them both giggling away downstairs and I can't sleep.

i was on the last thread, i am ginger (not Irish ) and i particularly enjoy 'Wankered Wednesdays'

May I join the craic?

Phyllis you are a sport, well done for last night (apart from the fat shaming but we can't have everything)

FWIW i love the name Xander. And there was a Bowe as i recall, not a good example though as he was the US marine who was an Al Quaeda informer who was kidnapped. You might want to rethink that one...

@fenellamaxwellspony my son went to that infant training academy and I've now reached the stage where more than 90mins without being woken up sends me into panic mode thinking he's been kidnapped!

I'm selling tv rights to this pregnancy to RTE with maybe a vote thrown in - pregnancy of the year once home of the year is finished? Perhaps some kind of bonny baby contest in a Rose of Tralee style at the end, and with a feature on how to throw a baby shower Limerick style (guest presented by rubberbandits)

Just following im DP far to invested in this

I'm intrigued by so much on this but, most importantly, WTAF is a double pregnancy?

thenightmanageress I just googled it. Apparently it's when you get pregnant again a couple of weeks into your pregnancy. The babies are not twins as are conceived at two different times. This means, I suppose, that you could be pregnant with 2 different men's babies at the same time if you so wished.
I obviously didn't put enough work in as I only had the one pregnancy. To be honest though, we went with the whole if it happens it happens which I have learnt is not putting the effort in. Must try harder next time

Hang on Evil, how on earth do you know that your SIL bleached her arsehole?

Francis I am so trying that!! Peaches in syrup or juice?

plaintomato I get that feeling whenever I go out without him, even if it's just for a minute to walk the dog!

KatyBerry well someone will have had to unscrew the lid on the domestos for her....

erm does this girl know we're ripping the suit out of her?

Phyllis, you're here!

Hi, everyone.
