'Should you buy a toy for your unborn or newly born child, buy 2 in case of loss to ease the trauma for you and your baby, don't be tempted to buy different colours an this will not sooth traumatised child who wants the white one!'<BR/><BR/>Let that be a tip for the next pregnancy book.<BR/><BR/>Love your pregnancy story, I thought pregnancy number 2 went really quickly but only because I had a toddler to deal with and I didn't think it was such a big deal as the first, not until she was born and then I thought I was fantastic that I had produced not only one child, but 2 and one was a boy and one was a girl, how fantastic am I, I am now slightly jealous of people who go on and have 3 or 4, how super are they, stealing my thunder and being more fantastic than I am!<BR/><BR/>SEM xShe's like the windhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075810201419237816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862249258643149376.post-13577522712435844592008-01-11T09:47:00.000+00:002008-01-11T09:47:00.000+00:00I think it's lovely that children get so attached ...I think it's lovely that children get so attached to certain toys - even if they are falling apart, stink etc etc the love continues, unconditionally. <BR/><BR/>ha ha ha ha - you are brilliant Pig! - i loved the fact you said 'up the duff' - i always use that term with friends and i get a telling off! <BR/><BR/>Our rule with the duck is that it is not allowed to leave her bedroom - which betty accepts now.<BR/><BR/>Betty was a little angry that I was getting the duck to pose for the camera, and snatched it away - not before i got that snap though.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for all your lovely comments and thoughts.<BR/><BR/>PS - A DUCK PLEA - if anyone knows of anyone who has this particular duck in the back of a cupboard somewhere, and it's unwanted, pleeeeease let me know!Elsie Buttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03768998561385293241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862249258643149376.post-13945225407698155042008-01-11T03:30:00.000+00:002008-01-11T03:30:00.000+00:00That is so sweet.

At least I don't think so. Maybe someone will leave a comment disputing that statement.<BR/><BR/>It's exciting in a different way, I suppose. You are more aware of the baby that will result from it, but you aren't concerned with every little detail of the pregnancy's progression.Iota https://www.blogger.com/profile/08507184283437057648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862249258643149376.post-30476237671048874562008-01-10T18:15:00.000+00:002008-01-10T18:15:00.000+00:00We have 'cow' and 'bunny' that always have to be a...We have 'cow' and 'bunny' that always have to be around, taken on holiday with heads sticking out so they can breathe!<BR/>The little one adored hard plastic horses which irritated Darling Husband whenever he sneaked into her bed ('cos she'd sneaked into ours to kick him). <BR/>"How the hell can ANYONE want to cuddle BLOODY cold, hard, plastic things??"
