Morning all. I'm still playing catch up on this thread, glad to see the April Mum's are not a reticent bunch!
PML at thread title and discussion of orgies/ declassé sex in July/ general commoness.I have had quite a few comments along the lines of 'April eh? (snigger snigger snigger), on holiday then were you? wink wink' Plus the maternity wards here are rammed solid in April apparently, so perhaps it is now no longer the done thing to bonk in the summer. I'm absolutely delighted to be continuing my slummy families tradition - All of our babies are summer bred, and all the better for it!
Not sure how I'm doing on the rest of the common criteria. Hate McD (chips coat mouth with some kind of waxy gunk for hours afer), but LOVE LOVE LOVE Kebab mmmmmmmmmmm, oh kebab, how do I love thee, let me count the ways no too many, let's just say, considering Donna as a name (are babies called Donna anymore, or has that too past into the realms of no no?)
Speaking of names, I'm proud to see that all the babies on this thread have gorgeous names! Big Congrats to Marianna and Skiingone!
Springy, I haven't read the AIBU thread you started yet (no YANBU), but have noticed some MNers seem to realy get off on being.....well, slighlty psycho. I might start a name thread as still haven't got one, I'm English DH is Algerian, we're living in France, planning on returning to England in next few years, so need something which works for everyone. Arabic first name, English middle name/s. Starting a naming thread will be good value as people are pretty precious on those threads too. Still it'll be good to know if there are any hideous/ humourous conotations I've overlooked.
It's a lovely warm day here, blue skies/ sunshine and after freaking out a little bit at beginning of mat leave when I finally realised that I was actually going to have a BABY really soon, I'm feeling more optimistic now.
I'm sat here surrounding by IKEA boxes full of unassembled furniture, so another black mark against my name in the country club of life. I also sitting on my DH's butt-ugly fake leather sofa, but that sofa is plonked on a v. nice tiled floor. Have laminated in the bedroom (fine, just never feels REALLY clean, even after the occasional shows of soapy water I give it). It's a rented apt though, so ....................
I'm also off to a second hand baby things shop a friend recommended, not sure if 2nd hand is classy or not, could it be a reverse snob thing?
Better get a mention of SEX in, as it's never too early in the morning and I AM an April Mum. I'm still bonking pretty regularly, but it's starting to get really uncomfortable, and things are feeling tighter 'down there' - which doesn't strike me as great product design given as a babies friggin HEAD is going to have to batter it's way through that particular passage soon. Flip, shouldn't it be getting bigger and baggier?
