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?

dya think its enough to get him on the G&T register, or will it sound like PFB bragging?

naw i fink walking on water,and the loaves and fishes thang hes bang on to get on G&T register

IU'm a bit worried here, you've no idea where you will be staying but yet the babe's dad is going to hand out invites to all and sundry to come visit you within hours of you givin birth
bet no one even mentions changing a nappy, making you a cuppa, tidying up for
Nope it'll be "pose for this picture" "admire these gifts" and not one of them will bring some babygro in the right size

Starisonthetree · 18/12/2010 23:25

Give this babe a chance before you start asking him to do funny things with water and wine. I think he'll need about 30 years to come to terms with his parents not being married and not being born in the water birth suite at the local hospital

ratspeaker · 18/12/2010 23:27

Huh loaves and fishes bet that means fish finger sandwiches, watch the lips curl unless its done a la Jamie

and wine to water
all very well
but what type of wine?
Chardonnay
Merlot
Sauvignon Blanc
Robola
Lambrini

StillAVirgin, I notice you haven't started a thread in 'Baby Names'. What are you going to call her, when she arrives?
Need any suggestions?

Sweet heart I worry about you? Have you got the chicken soup in the Thermos flask I packed for you? I have been reading all these men are going to visit you, not a midwife or doula among them. I should have gone with you? But your Dad said 'she made her bed she better lie in it' Xmas Sad I must admit Joseph looked happier just when I said I couldn't come' I wonder why? I'm a very good map reader. Never mind when you get back I'll spoil you and my new grandchild. I'm going to get you some Fitflop, a Gina Ford book and I'll babysit promise. Your Aunty Ida sends her love. Take care Sweet heart Xmas Smile

Now your really making me worry. I told Joseph to get RFLC Cover (Royal Four Legged Club) I know three wise men have that cover for their camels! Xmas Smile

well, he is still sulking. he says he feels betrayed and hurt. how many more times do I have to explain? we passed some lovely shepherds a while back. they let me sit and rest. but the strangest thing happened... all the sheep came and rested their heads on my bump!

Just thought you'd like to know- Bethlehem is filling up really quickly. I doubt you'll get a room nowSad. Still 2 days away aren't you? If you started out 4/5 days ago you'd be near Jericho now?

tribpot · 22/12/2010 19:11

Eeuw, stillavirgin, aren't pregnant women meant to stay away from sheep? Or is that cat litter, I never can remember.

Here's hoping lastminute.com comes up with something for you!

pickgo · 22/12/2010 20:01

tribpot I don't think stillavirgin needs to worry about the cleanliness of the shepherds, I hear they are so conscious of personal hygiene they wash their socks at night!

tribpot · 22/12/2010 20:17

LOL pickgo, are these shepherds the Kim and Aggie of the local community I wonder?

pickgo · 22/12/2010 20:23

Well I did also hear their gaf is a bit basic - apparently they're all seated on the ground! Sounds like the kind of places Kim and Aggie sort out to me! Xmas Grin

stillavirgin · 22/12/2010 20:25

yes, just outside. we are virtual outcasts though. gossip travels fast, unfortunately. I was stoned yesterday!

the shepherds did indeed smell wonderful, but baby is getting restless now. i think my time is near!

tribpot · 22/12/2010 20:31

stillavirgin, whether in the marijuana or not sense of the word 'stoned' this is not good. If the former, you should really try not to use hallucinogenic drugs right now, I have a feeling the next few days are going to be weird enough for you without them! If the latter, have you called the police? Stoning a pregnant woman is a crime of biblical proportions.

stillavirgin · 22/12/2010 20:33

tribpot, definately not in the illegal sense, Im a good girl! the police will do nothing. even the teachers and the rabbi turned their backs on us Xmas Sad

tribpot · 22/12/2010 20:45

stillavirgin, that is appalling. You have the patience of a saint to suffer through all this. Have you thought about suing them? Or maybe contacting Amnesty International?

stillavirgin · 22/12/2010 21:07

unfortunately, women have very few rights where I am. although, if i mention the biological father im worried that they will section me. oh, its such a mess!
