Have a listen to this gem. Had it on repeat for about a year now....

If you really love it, here is the direct download link.

Also, I am loving a bit of this guy right now. His album is great.

Can't Hold Us - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

My girlfriend told me tonight that she's pregnant!

 

I really should be in bed now. I've got to be up for work at 6, but there's no way I'll get to sleep now. My girlfriend's conked out asleep leaving me sat here with it all sinking in. In truth I'm as nervous as I am excited.

Congratulations Daddy! Something that I was told once, is that if you wait for the perfect time to have kids, you will never have kids. Truth is that they are awesome until they turn into teenagers so as long as you get the groundwork right, you can try to ride out those years with minimal pain.

Enjoy all this stuff while you can - the excitement etc before they baby actually comes, and when people offer the help with the newborn - take it! And don't forget to remember your relationship in the process. Remember that you will still need to treat your girlfriend like your girlfriend - not just a mummy. Remember those things and you will be awesome

When they knew it was a girl.. they considered Ellie. I noted that i liked the name Ellie...they then went with something similar in...Elliana...but basically so that they could call her Lana and do always call her Lana. I think both are nice enough names but why not just call her Lana to begin with?

 

Anyway, as i say mine often changes but i like Clark for a lad.

First of all, Clark is my name you thieving bastard. Second of all - my name is also perfect example of your first point. Katherine, Katie, Kate.... etc etc etc.

I know who won the Apprentice! Ha! What an awesome outcome. I just downloaded the first two episodes of Martina Coles "The Take" also. Time to start educating the Aussies on raw british drama.

Also I have introduced the UK shameless to as many people out here as I can (the US version is the only one that shows here), and have received all positive feedback. I love the show myself. I bought all the DVDs but now cant find any links to download the series 7 or 8. Anyways no bother I'll just go and buy them.

Other things I have been heavily into the past few months are Dexter, Greys anatomy and Community. Can anyone recommend something from UK TV that I Should get? We really don't get much here!

I am indeed! I am desperate to watch episode 9, but I am currently getting a download speed of 1.2k. I don't think I have had speed that slow since 1997 dial up.

I just this second finished watching episode 8 (the art dealer one). Don't tell me who wins! I was really surprised to see that they are now competing for investment rather than a job...

I miss a lot of UK shows now as pretty much all we get out here is The Only Way is Essex and Don't tell the bride, but I spent the last few days downloading series 8 of the Apprentice....Ricky Hype!!! Couldn't believe it when he popped up....

I've downloaded an app called mappiness, (iphone). It's a study/survey type thing. I feel good for helping!! Plus you get 'happy charts'....

Apart from that, I love taptap.

This is terrible. Rest in peace fella. My thoughts are with your family x

The placenta is an intricate working group of wonder vessels.

The blood passed during labour is only the blood that comes from these blood vessels as they get sheared away from the wall of the uterus during contractions. There is rarely alot of blood from things getting torn, firstly because there isn't too much blood supply in the thin skin that would be getting torn. If it's muscle that gets torn, it still doesn't produce too much blood. Many people think they have bled loads when really they haven't. This is because the "waters" that surround the baby mix with the blood which dilutes it and makes it look more. The average blood loss in labour is about 200-300mls.

Enemas and laxatives are not standard practice to administer during labour, however it will be given if requested.

I'm bored.

I wish I could win unfunny poster, so I could have a custom sig made! Even if it was derogatory.

I delivered THREE babies today, on a 14.5 hour shift. I am tired.

This takes my total to 14

Also, a fantabulous piece of office greatness.

Fantastically animated story of a balloon. Well worth watching:

Balloon!

Short silent story, filmed very well indeed.

A Thousand Words

Chest Rockwell!! (I love you Hagey!)

Well done Crux, you kept it together much more than I did when I did my first delivery!

Just read through some of this.... MAT, if you are planning on breastfeeding, lay off lemon juice because it will reduce your milk supply. That is all for now, need some sleep after being on call through the nights and on labour wards bringing new lives into this world!

!! That is what I thought it was at first! Haha, I should have trusted my instincts..

I can see that one arrow is pointing to baby, but what is the other one pointing to?

Opinion of them being "only 16 and not old enough to be good parents".I'm just showing that sometimes baby news sometimes isn't all good, so for now why can't everyone just be nice about it. I don't understand why some people are so hell bent on putting a negative spin on things. I'm not trying to get involved in a huge arguement, I'm jus trying to provide a different perspective.

I think alot of what is being said in this thread, doesn't really need to be said. Have your thoughts and negative opinions, but MAT is happy, and no one should be lowering the tone.I probably feel more strongly about this right now than I usually would, and the reason is this:Today, I went to the cremation of my cousins newborn baby. Little Charlotte was born two weeks ago, and today my family had to say goodbye to her, without ever having known her. She was brought to the crematorium in a white glass coach led by white horses, in a tiny pink coffin with a Tiara on top, surrounded by flowers in shapes of teddy bears, hearts, and butterflies.Everyone was absolutely devastated and in tears, including me. My cousin and his girlfriend had written a beautiful speech that was read out, which was especially emotional. They will never get to show their baby off, take her to the park when she gets a little older, never get to be woken in the night by her crying which they so crave for right now. They have spent months preparing for her arrival, changing their lives to adapt to their surprise situation, and all they have left now are some photos and some baby clothes they put on her before she was taken away. Two people and their families have been left crushed, broken hearted, and inconsolable. If anyone deserved the chance to show how great they would have been as parents, it's them. They are an extremely mature, solid couple, with morals and good hearts. Now would it change your opinion if I said they were only 16?I think some people need to gain a bit of perspective, and be happy for MAT. She is sharing some extremely joyful news, and quite frankly the negativity is pretty disgusting.

Oh man, I cannot wait to start hvaing mini Jasmines!
