Not my classiest moment. Lenny Bruce used to tell a similar tale. When he had a heart attack and was being rushed to hospital in an ambulance, he was well aware that it was a matter of life and death, but he he still found himself admiring the nurse's tits. As he said, it's how we're wired. Edited December 31, 2021 by mjmooney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 What I will say, I love my grandson. He is the best example of a child but **** me he is draining and that's why I am on the top floor, effectively hiding from the rest of the family. At some point he will click and come looking for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've spoken to her more in the past 2 days than I have in the past 6 months. It'll all work out.

Like you said maybe not romantically, but things will be good As a teacher, I've witnessed some children really impacted by their parents not getting along and almost using the child to emotionally hurt each other. It sounds like the both of you are doing what's best for your little one, which maybe people will say should be the obvious thing, but I think it's commendable, especially in a situation where emotions have been hurt. Enjoy it. When times are shit with kids, they're really, really shit. But when it's good, nothing has ever come close. It's amazing. Good luck to both of you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Said in the Xmas thread v4e baby number 2 is due end of June, baby 1 was premature with a rough time for my wife, as a result they've told her not to fly and avoid long journeys until the baby is born... So that's her not travelling to the UK until August at the earliest With corona thrown in to the mix its a real shitter for my parents, think I'll try and fly over me and the 2 year old in April not a clue how that will go, she's recently developed the obsession with walking by herself at a snails pace through busy shops and streets... Causing me a lot of grief, pick her up and she goes mental let alone trying to sit her down, they opened up a new till in the supermarket yesterday to get rid of her 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with baby number 2 and getting to see your folks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's awesome Bit of an update He's still in hospital. He's been a bit poorly. Had jaundice quite badly so had to spend a couple of days under those weird light things, which he hated. He's also got a couple of infections which are being treated with antibiotics. He had to have a lumbar puncture as they were worried he might have Sepsis or Meningitis but, thankfully, it looks like he doesn't. He is showing signs of Sepsis but the antibiotics he's on treat that anyway so he should be ok. His Jaundice has got a lot better so he's not under the lights anymore and tomorrow is 5 days on the antibiotics so if everything looks good then he should hopefully be out on Wednesday. I've only seen him twice so really looking forward to getting him home and spending some proper time with him. Oh and we still haven't named him 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If something happens like what happened to Steve’s baby momma it’s pretty much death. my daughter was nearly born at home ..instead we opted for me breaking the land speed record and driving to the hospital , literally pulled up at the front doors and in , left the car doors open and everything mentioned it years back but I should have been at a Villa game that day , but obviously didn't go ..on the way home someone crashed into my mates car (who I go to every game with ) on the M40 and he ended up upside down and the passenger side was completely caved in , I'd have been killed no question ... another reason why I'm always extremely grateful to have a daughter born a week early 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 3, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 3, 2022 Oh and when we first found out she was pregnant I jokingly suggested we name him Jack after Grealish (who was still very much at the club at the time) Despite going round every other name under the sun, I think Jack might end up being his name. So my desire for Grealish to make a Villa Park return has just rocketed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 We did the compromise between home birth and hospital. We went to hospital, they said it would be a while and all left the room… baby arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"nope, bible name" If you're wanting good biblical names, got to be one of the sons of Jacob; Joseph, Judah, Levi, Reuben, Benjamin, Dinah, Asher, Simeon, Naphtali, Issachar, Dan, Gad, and Zebulun. Or perhaps one of the three Magi; Gaspar/Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
