Any news Mal? Getting close?

Signed up for antenatal classes today. Hopefully will learn to get a grip on this! Nursery furniture ready to order too. Getting real now.

Oh, please. You don't have to push a bowling bowl out of your body. Stop whining. And whinging, too.

I couldn't push a child out of the Down There even if I wanted to. My pelvis was crushed into many pieces by a van and fused back together by a combination of cold American steel and German medical science.

I say "German medical science," but I suppose it's more accurate to call it a German application of an outmoded technique developed by the ancient Greeks. Skeletal traction was the thing. It's my understanding that it's making a comeback, but I think a lot of people in orthopedic medicine still consider it quackery.

The US military hospital wanted to drive me to a US military hospital, take me out of traction, and put me in a body cast. The doctors at the German hospital to which I'd been rushed before my nationality could be determined (I was in shock for much of the ambulance ride and not entirely coherent) thought that would be a bad idea. My mother, who was pretty distrustful of US military hospitals, was persuaded to keep me where I was and how I was. It was probably for the best, though I suppose I'll never know.

Your bodies are designed to do that Negs. Our bodies are designed to flap about adding nothing of value and to worry about everything. This is the nesting phase. The next phase is the unconditional love phase to stop me from eating it!!! Its chemical.

If they'd gave taken you to a US Military hospital then, in a freak admin accident, you could have accidentally had experimental armour embedded into you. We could have been reading funny books and watching Marvel movies about you.

Damn efficient Germans, robbing us of our superheroes.

I'll probably be in a wheelchair by the time Jubboiter graduates from high school, whatever the case.

Will the wheelchair have AI and turbo boost? Do you have a leather jacket? Could you rock a perm?

Considering my present inability even to pay Adam for his Swedish Fish Oreos, it's unlikely.

I don't wear jackets. I was once made to wear a permed mullet. For weeks. I didn't rock it.

Drive yourself up into a mobile command base for a flirty and playful exchange of views with a surprisingly hot technical support expert?

Well, Jubbers will theoretically still be around, so it's possible.

Will she wear a jumpsuit with shoulder pads? I could be the grouchy old Englishman who, while appearing exasperated at your recklessness, secretly feels all paternal and protective towards you.

I imagine she'll wear a t-shirt with jeans, same as always.

Every single dress I was made to wear as a child had shoulder pads. Never again.

OK - Daddy advice. Little Dalty is due to make his appearance on 19th Jan. Obviously there is a period where complete abstention from alcohol on my part is desirable so I am in tip top condition for a hospital dash should it be required. I am thinking the moment NYE celebrations are out of the way then that's it. No booze, even a couple of after work beers with the team etc., until after Jr arrives. Is 1st Jan sensible timing for a 19th Jan due date, or should I be going earlier???

Dude, how often do you drink? This wasn't even a concern for me.

I imagine you should be fine if you stop drinking more than two weeks before the due date.

Most weekends. Just don't want to be settling down to a third glass of red wine on NYE and be told "Get the car!" and be worried in case I am over the limit!

First antenatal class next Saturday where I am hoping the dark arts of parenthood will be revealed.......well, or at least some insight into the mysterious potions and powders all parents I know seem to carry with them at all times.
