(20.1.06 15:44) I remember buying a gift for a new baby some years ago and saying to the lady in the 'naff gifts for new babies shop' that I was a bit worried that maybe the gift was a litte too naff and she assured me that there was no such thing. She explained that the same women who prowled around the shop when they first discovered they were pregnant with looks of complete horror combined with scorn on their faces would, 6 months down the line, be exclaiming with joy over the same items.

(20.1.06 15:45) I love that. Does that mean I'm pregnant?

(20.1.06 15:52) I love that too. Perhaps, Chintzy, if we decide to have babies our taste will go in the other direction. I doubt that would be a good thing.

(20.1.06 15:56) No it would not. We should enjoy our sense of style while we have it dear Ghosty.

(20.1.06 16:03) our son was sent a bib that said " SPIT HAPPENS"

(20.1.06 16:07) I got a bodysuit with a cow on it saying "eat yer greens". Some of them are a bit naff though.

Queener (20.1.06 16:08) Precisely why I'm going to make a list of all of the things I won't do when I have a baby (one day) - like, as Shoes said on her blog the other day, thinking it's acceptable to change a nappy on someone's office floor. I'll only break about ten of them, I'm sure, so I'll have to write at least 11.

(20.1.06 16:34) I don't like it, but only because it doesn't button down the front so it's not easy to get on and off. I can't claim ever to have really had any taste, but I'm pretty sure I was never this dull before baby. I also can't be the only one to think this slogan suits Bob Dylan nowadays perfectly well. How old is he again?

(20.1.06 17:32) Last week I saw a tiny t-shirt with "They shake me" written across the front. It made me laugh more than is perhaps appropriate. I doubt very much that this means I am pregnant. In fact, it probably means I shouldn't even think about the whole baby thing for quite some time.

(21.1.06 14:59) You might want to check out this site for tasteful baby shirts.

(22.1.06 09:59) i love 'they shake me!' but then i was never a very good mother!

(22.1.06 15:02) My favourite from that site are the "Mummy/Daddy drinks because I cry" ones.

(23.1.06 12:43) I'm sure you'll look very fetching in it, Norah. *fantasises*

(23.1.06 13:45) Naff ones are the ones that say 'My mummy loves chocolate' but mittens with Love & Hate knitted in are nothing but cute.

(23.1.06 14:54) You seem to be doing well with the whole having a baby experience! I did not comment on your previous entry about the Christening. We do not share common beliefs on the subject but I am in total agreement with you and the way you handled the situation. I find that the cute baby shirts tend to be less cute once the baby spit-up on them a few times. Easy access to diapers and easy on and off are the only things I ever took into account when buying baby clothes. The sweetie is for you to have this evening as you pick up your feet and relax a bit.
