yeah, the question was rhetorical. I'd just like to move up to better table food.

it's funny. I can remember everything about our first child and basically nothing about the second. that's the punishment from having Irish twins I guess.

Our "big" Gracco is good, Archel, but quite heavy for steps. We chose it because some random customers in Mothercare told us it was good. Perhaps they were part of the Gracco street team.

Mrs Sister Disco is very keen on a Quinny. We are on our second "small" pushchair, and neither have been very satisfactory. One is now in Spain.

Graco seem to be the most reasonably priced of the posh travel system etc brands, no? Maclarens always seem quite pricy for what they are but Matt fell in love with the Ryder after pushing it round Toys R Us and nipping in between precarious displays/toddlers with the greatest of ease. And I like it because it's chocolate coloured and will go lovely with the lambs fleece mum is giving me :)

oh man there's a load of cuteness!

finger food is so much fun!

Shall I be the first one to wish the Onimos good luck for tomorrow then?

Good luck with the whole "OMG a baby totally didn't come out of my vagina" thing :-)

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 14:38 (nineteen years ago)

Aye, hurrah for slicing yer wife in half! Best of luck.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 14:40 (nineteen years ago)

Oh yeah! Will be thinking of you two tomorrow (although not in TOO much detail iykwim).

― Archel (Archel), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 14:47 (nineteen years ago)

I was going to send him encouraging text msgs ("OMG they're totally chopping your wife up WTF" etc) except he won't be able to read them since you aren't allowed phones in hospitals :-(

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 14:58 (nineteen years ago)

Um, even if you were I doubt I'd be like "hang on a second dear, I have a txt msg - can someone else hold this hand?"

Thanks for good wishes etc, I'll pass them on to Mrs O and I'll let you know how everything goes.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 15:05 (nineteen years ago)

you don't need two hands to check yr msgs, unless you're some sort of idiot :-)

(Mrs O's not actually reading this thread, is she, where we're all like "ha, you're getting hacked open, roffle"?)

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 15:06 (nineteen years ago)

I've been hacked open twice. I wish the wife speedy recovery. Wait on her and tell her she's brave and strong. Rub her feet.

― Maria :D (Maria D.), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 15:08 (nineteen years ago)

Ach, Mrs O's been hacked open twice as well. Can't be that big a deal, huh*?

* for the benefit of the hard of thinking, this is A JOKE.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

Congrats & good wishes to Mr & Mrs O, and general OMGCUTENESS at this thread lately. Teeny, your boy has Popeye forearms!

― Danny Aioli (Rock Hardy), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 15:16 (nineteen years ago)

Best of luck, the Watts.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 15:18 (nineteen years ago)

I cannot believe there is a pushchair called a quinny. Good luck Mrs Onimo!

― Mï¿½dchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 20:18 (nineteen years ago)

On our boat trip down the Thames on Sunday, I was holding Ava up and, after months of enduring slapping, poking and grabbing from this position (or maybe a smile and a hug if I'm lucky), I said the usual "gentle now", expecting a joyful thump. But she stroked my face in the softest, most affectionate way imaginable with both hands. She did it again later, saying, "Awww". I felt this was the most extraordinary breakthrough and thought I'd share it with you. You can stop barfing now.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 20:19 (nineteen years ago)

Michael, no way, you're making me all teary eyed. Yeah, I'm a big crybaby since having a baby. :-)

Good luck Onimo!

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 21:00 (nineteen years ago)

Good old Ava. Perhaps it is related to having the stair carpet down at last.

Good luck Mrs Onimo.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Thursday, 14 September 2006 06:15 (nineteen years ago)

If Mrs O has been hacked open twice before already, they ought to have fitted her with a zip fastener to make it easier this time around.

Hope all goes well today!

― C J (C J), Thursday, 14 September 2006 06:51 (nineteen years ago)

Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Onimo!

Megan was born at 11.33 this morning, weighing 6lb 12 oz. Mother and baby both fine, father probably in need of a pint :-)

I shall probably be visiting early next week, so if Daddy is too busy to look at teh interwebs by then, I shall pass on all your best wishes.

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 14 September 2006 14:34 (nineteen years ago)

Congratulations to all the Onimos! A baby sister for those two lovely Onimo lads :)

― Jaq (Jaq), Thursday, 14 September 2006 14:42 (nineteen years ago)

Woo for Megan and her parents!!!!!!!! Aw new babies in the thread, how lovely.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 14 September 2006 14:43 (nineteen years ago)

Congratulations!

― Maria :D (Maria D.), Thursday, 14 September 2006 15:11 (nineteen years ago)

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Onimo! Happy birthday Megan!

Maria, I'm glad you're all okay - what a horrible time y'all have been having!

Teeny, Nath, PJ and Michael, I want to smooch all of your children. What gorgeous babies we have on Ilx!

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 14 September 2006 15:27 (nineteen years ago)

Congrats to Onimo et famille!

Megan is an absolutely beautiful name! Welcome to ILX Megan, and congratulations to Mr and Mrs Onimo (though I am disappointed that you did not name your new baby "Ger".

― C J (C J), Thursday, 14 September 2006 18:08 (nineteen years ago)

oh Fritz, yr baby's smiling! :-D

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Thursday, 14 September 2006 18:10 (nineteen years ago)

I like that she's nearly called Mega Watt. I wonder if they've thought this through?

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 14 September 2006 18:26 (nineteen years ago)

Haha somebody in the pub (who vaguely knows G3rry) came out with MegaWatt not half an hour ago.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I'm off to bed to sleep like a baby.

(please to stop posting my real name in threads kthx)

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Thursday, 14 September 2006 19:22 (nineteen years ago)

My initial reaction (and my immediate text back to him) was "you're naming her after your CAR?!?!?!?").

xpost AAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW :-)

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 14 September 2006 19:23 (nineteen years ago)

Ginger hair! Told you!

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 14 September 2006 19:24 (nineteen years ago)

Actually, did I tell you? I have a vague recollection of a pub conversation last Friday about ginger-haired babies.

(do you want this thread de-indexed/googleproofed?)

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 14 September 2006 19:27 (nineteen years ago)

de-indexed?

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Thursday, 14 September 2006 19:38 (nineteen years ago)

I have just asked.

And yes, ailsa, I remember the ginger conversation.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 14 September 2006 19:39 (nineteen years ago)

No, I don't really mind that much I just think posting real names is bad form, even if it is in my email addy.

Megan's only 11 hours old and she's almost googleable!

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Thursday, 14 September 2006 19:40 (nineteen years ago)

I just asked too!

If you were there in the pub, that was early. Imagine the ruin that followed :-(

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 14 September 2006 19:41 (nineteen years ago)

She's never going to be googleable when you've named your daughter after a UNIT OF POWER!

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 14 September 2006 19:43 (nineteen years ago)

(I'm not sure why I thought that a new baby might keep you off the internet...)

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 14 September 2006 19:55 (nineteen years ago)

deindexed and a bit of googleproofing, is that enough?

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 14 September 2006 20:27 (nineteen years ago)

Cheers Teeny!

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 14 September 2006 20:28 (nineteen years ago)

Yars, cheers.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 14 September 2006 20:32 (nineteen years ago)

Hip hip hooray on her magical birthing day to the lovely little Onimo papoose!

― Run Ruud Run (Ken L), Thursday, 14 September 2006 21:35 (nineteen years ago)

Awesome - congratulations!!! I love new babies... especially sleeping ones. Lovely photo.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Thursday, 14 September 2006 21:47 (nineteen years ago)

Awwww, I've come over all clucky now. She's beautiful.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 14 September 2006 21:50 (nineteen years ago)

Hooray Megan!
