Tilly have been wondering how your DH is doing.

Tillyscoutsmum · 03/03/2009 15:16

He's not bad now thanks Jam. He didn't sleep very well and was very "quiet" (for him) for the first few days but seems ok now. Because his friend wasn't local, he didn't see him that often but they met up about once a month for a big ride and they all go on a boy's cycling weekend every year - I think that'll be very strange for all of them this year

MrsJoeMcIntyre · 03/03/2009 15:24

Jam - as soon as I figure out a way to get people to stop calling L 'Alexia' or 'Alexi', I'll let you know.

SOH - L gets all her colours right too, she just doesn't like it when we make her 'perform', and deliberately says the wrong colour. Oooh, she's a tinker, that one.

Tilly - your poor dh. I often think (morbid) thoughts like that when I see a big crash on the motorway, someone, somewhere is about to get a knock on the door. Horrid, I guess you've just got to make the most of today, eh? xxx

Themasterandmargaritas · 03/03/2009 16:02

Tilly, it is really such a sad time, wishing you and your dh strength.

J can count, sort of in the right order, it depends he if he is coming down the stairs or not. More importantly he knows all the words to Rolf Harris' dodgy songs. Colours pah, forget it. These girls, they are much more advanced. He does however say 'Pass the honey' and 'bbc please' at breakfast time. He does love listening to Focus On Africa.

Themasterandmargaritas · 03/03/2009 16:10

Jam, it's always tricky getting sassenachs to pronounce that 'ch' right. I have absolutely no tips though sorry. It drives me bonkers when people talk about 'Barney' when that is not his name at all. Could you get the in-laws heavily pished one night and make a game out of trying to pronounce it right?

Lulumama · 03/03/2009 16:12

mrsJM. can you text me when you hear MKG had her baby? hope you ok xxxx

AprilMeadow · 03/03/2009 16:17

Oh god, i dont know what Ella can count to or whether she knows her colours...... i guess she does as she does it at nursery. I am a bad mother! I'm going to be getting to say it over and over now to see what she can do..

I remember when Jack was learning numbers and he would do really well but 11 was always 11-teen

Pebblemum · 03/03/2009 16:19

Still no baby MKG then, she is obviously too cosy in there.
Jam Alana doesnt say much either but neither did ethan at her age, now he doesnt shut up lol. She is starting to pick up the odd words here and there so im not worried yet.
I hate it when people keep getting names wrong despite being told how to pronounce them.

Deacon is just starting to settle a bit more now. Im actually getting a bit more than 2hrs sleep a night and hes going about 3hrs between feeds instead of hourly. About time lol

MrsJoeMcIntyre · 03/03/2009 16:19

No problem Lulu.

Lulumama · 03/03/2009 16:22

thanks you

ShowOfHands · 03/03/2009 16:39

Deacon . Fab.

Is lulu doulaing for you when you get knocked up then PJ? I'd like her to doula for you when you have a surrogate one for me. Did you see that thread on unfortunate names btw? Your real name was on there, suwoo was going to notify you.

There are no photos showing my true jelliness. Honestly I need a lot of work.

DH had a sudden death on his very first day at work. The chap (dropping in lost property) had a massive heart attack in the station office. He had to go and tell the wife (baptism of fire) who was away on a conference and the door was answered by their 16yr old dd. Obviously dh had to tell her as a police officer turning up on your doorstep makes you assume the worst. He got a neighbour in to sit with her first. He came home shaking. He says that even if you knock on a door for an innocent reason, the blood drains from the answerer's face. I couldn't do it. Even in a year he's seen some horrid and distressing things. Mostly involving children which is obviously his weak point being a newish Dad.

Speaking of PCPlod, he's just phoned as I type. A man he was arresting has set a dog on him. DH with the force doctor. FGS.

Lulumama · 03/03/2009 16:41

wish this was my PN / AN thread . you girls are so lovely

Tillyscoutsmum · 03/03/2009 16:42

SOH Hope he's ok

Themasterandmargaritas · 03/03/2009 16:50

Oh dear poor dh, I hope he is ok

Lulu, we shall make you an honorary member of our PN group and continuing AN (for those ttc). As long as you bring cake. Drop in anytime.

MrsJoeMcIntyre · 03/03/2009 16:52

What can you do? It's my mum's fault for not calling me Jennifer. Beasts, mocking me, the lot of you!

Lulumama · 03/03/2009 17:01

i thought that was your name? >>confused.com>>

thank you ladies, i shall be dropping in plenty, i should think

ShowOfHands · 03/03/2009 17:06

Ooh lulu's joining us. She'll fit right in with the sex talk. I mean nipple stim isn't just for childbirth right? Lulu, how do you feel about nuns in porn?

DH is fine, few puncture wounds and bruises. Means he'll be late home though.

We're not mocking PJ, it never crossed my mind until I saw that thread. It's tenuous at best. Honestly, as far as bad names go, mine's up there. A valley in Wales, a Beach Boys hit or the fake breasted woman on Friends. Not great.

Sod my Earth Mother status. I'm cooking fishfingers.

Lulumama · 03/03/2009 17:43

nuns in porn!! goodness ...

i couldn't really say

Lulumama · 03/03/2009 17:44

sorry about your DH, hope he is ok

give him some arnica

ShowOfHands · 03/03/2009 17:45

Ooh lulu I like you. Some of them had piercings you know. I suspect they weren't even real nuns. I was disgusted. And I didn't even watch it. It was largeginandtonic.

Themasterandmargaritas · 03/03/2009 17:58

Prudes, the pair of you.

I bet Lulu has seen piercings in places far worse than under a wimple.

JamInMyWellies · 03/03/2009 18:10

snort

AprilMeadow · 03/03/2009 19:53

ROFL!!!!

Pebblemum · 03/03/2009 23:08

Aaargh think i spoke to soon about Deacon. Hes been awake and either feeding or crying since 4.30. He just wont settle :-(

SOH hope dh is ok. My fil was attacked by a dog just before christmas. It almost took a huge chunk out of his upper arm but he managed to beat it off. His arm was black and blue for weeks. Luckily hes quite strong i dont think a child would have stood a chance.

AprilMeadow · 04/03/2009 08:44

Looks like i will have a nice drive down to see LG&T today.

Pebble hope you managed to get some sleep last night.

MKG where are you?
