I hear very little.<br /><br />BB - When Ann was in hospital prior to giving birth to Jill she had a fellow pregnantee who named her baby Tarquin Sebastian Dangerfield; I forget what the surname was, but I know it was something equally bizarre.<br /><br />The Crow - The baby carrier has arrived. It is huge. I think it will be some time before Katie's first journey. I had to take advice on the definition of a burp pad, but now I know I am sure I will follow your advice.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-83850998074985121182011-11-01T02:07:33.500+00:002011-11-01T02:07:33.500+00:00The baby carrier will come in handy should Katie d...The baby carrier will come in handy should Katie develop colic or fussiness during the daytime. When my daughter was a babe, I used to put her in the 1970s version of the baby carrier and go for a walk about the neighborhood. Almost always worked to soothe her.<br /><br />Be sure to wear a burp pad across your shoulders, though!The Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846997590157958766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-53740371299216248612011-10-31T06:55:19.783+00:002011-10-31T06:55:19.783+00:00The outside world has a way with names; I ended up...The outside world has a way with names; I ended up with four or five variants, none of which I chose myself. New names can be hard to predict. A few years ago, when the fate of lachrymose and somewhat pathetic soccer player was being debated by the redtops, Katy could easily have ended up as Kazza.<br /><br />One way Jill can ensure a new nickname sticks is to try and forbid it.<br /><br />My daughter, who knows about such things, tells me I'm now a great-uncle. But great has a muliplicity of meanings.<br /><br />All our best to Jill.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-2439425826737777212011-10-30T19:49:11.363+00:002011-10-30T19:49:11.363+00:00congratulations all round - sounds as though you a...congratulations all round - sounds as though you all need it<br />as I said in my PM, 'in loco parentis' dons its contemporary meaning<br />- a propos of which, I assume you will now be re-titling your web-log as 'Conrad Wakes'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-2559409796057974472011-10-29T22:18:17.215+01:002011-10-29T22:18:17.215+01:00The Crow - I have just ordered on the Internet a &...The Crow - I have just ordered on the Internet a "Deuter Kid Comfort III Baby Carrier" - this is a rucksack arrangement for carrying young children, so you see, your prediction is looking likely.<br /><br />We are now on day five, and I seem to remember a familiar pattern: baby Katie is serene during the day, and tunes up at night time, but I am not complaining.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-66968344959396469742011-10-27T13:56:36.955+01:002011-10-27T13:56:36.955+01:00Or, for when she is all three, and more!
