Thread 9

Shiny new thread. Welcome all those due to pop out a baby in March 14, whether you're an old hand or a newbie, come join the fun!

Baldrick black pudding is the food of the gods!

You go for it Lyra!

Jol I'm sure you don't have to mention it for ages yet.

On the subject of animals, I love them, especially in the wild. I am elephant mad (even have a tattoo of two of them holding hands/trunks around my ankle!) to that end did anyone watch the 'Tusk' awards? Prince William's speech had me in tears, the thought that some of these beautiful animals like elephants, tigers and rhinos might not be around by the time our beans grow up tears me apart! They're so gracious and don't deserve to be cruelly hunted, i'll be so upset if my child never gets to see one. ok actually crying again now is in order!!

Elephants ARE cool. They're so...prickly.

muddle try wandering around naked I don't think she will really give a fuck about 2 lovely piggies if you answer the door buff! Ahahaha that would be hilarious :)

Actually don't, you might get evicted, then I'd feel bad :(

Baldrick You can't have had decent black pudding then

Try Stornoway - you will be a convert!

I wonder what those minx's Pramala and Rock are getting up to. I'm thinking cakes, tea and plotting world domination.

Hot, I don't think I could bring myself to look at any black pudding at the moment! Just knowing what it 's made of would set me to puking...
On the caffeine discussion, I had a lot of coke in the early days, as it settled my tummy a bit, but I went completely off tea and coffee until the last couple of days. I usually have decaf anyway, but this morning I discovered the Neacafe sachets of gingerbread latte - I feel an addiction coming on - and they don't do a decaf version . I think I'm going to have to limit myself to one a day, as it's bloody lovely!!

Haha kara! Would be funny if dh and I pretended to be naturists. "Oh, didn't we tell you? We have a no clothes policy in this house."

hot, did you ever watch Pinky and The Brain? Cos what I think is going down now at rock's place; "what are we going to do tonight, Pram?" "Same thing we do every night, rock. Try to TAKE OVER THE WORLD"

I'm wearing leggings and a jumper dress today, in an effort to wear something other than my maternity work trousers every day, but I feel really naked. It feels like my arse is hanging right out evey time I walk across the office! Despite the leggings, I look like I'm wearing a mini dress. But then I see other people wearing leggings and it doesn't look like that. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm back in the maternity trousers tomorrow!

muddle could you pretend you are looking after them for a friend?

Could you put them out in the garden? In their cage, obviously. I would have thought the 'no pets' thing just meant cats and dogs. When I rented I had a house rabbit, but then our landlady was pretty laid back.

fox I love my leggins!! I just bought a pair of knitted tartan ones at the weekend.

I want to love them, but I feel like they may as well be tights I'm walking around it.

Kara, I really like "freya" bras, they are in debenhams and usually really pretty and are a bargain in the sales. I got one for £6!

I hope pram and rock are having a nice tea date!

Dd is fast asleep, she must be knackered because she doesn't often sleep during the day. She's going to be furious when I have to wake her up in 20 minutes.

Muddle am slightly offended that I'm Pinky rather that The Brain

Have had a lovely time, Pram is nowhere near as scary as she likes to pretend! My DS is now hopelessly in love with her, and tried to drag her back into the house when she left!

pram the secret it OUT!

Pram you've been outed!

I'm only just eating today. Work is crazy!

rock you're in big big trubs now!

is it just me or are girls names infinitely easier than boys???

gawjus what time is your scan at love?

Anyone able to tell me how many boy/girl martians there are so far the spread sheet won't load on my shitey Blackberry?

theres 2 boys and 2 girls so far kara !

I'm finding the same grey - though I imagine it's definitely a problem for someone who knows they're having a boy!

Yes grey girls names are way easier. There are loads of girls names I could go for but no boys so far.

I suppose girls names tend to sound quite soft with their 'e' or 'a' sounds at the end, which fits with a baby.
