Mad things can happen at birth. I know one kid who got her arm broken. The wee mite had a bandage for two weeks. They couldn't put a cast on as babies grow so quickly. But that's all it took - two weeks and it was fine. In fact the bones are even stronger in that arm. The doctors said if she breaks it again it will take twice as long as normal to mend because of that.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1125','Primal Sneeze'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> Kit – She didn’t have to tie a steak around his neck to get the dog to play with him, did she?

My sister had a very hard time popping out my nephew. His faced was all bruised and swollen and he looked like a particularly ugly boxer who had gone 10 rounds with Mike Tyson. She'd take him out in the pram and people would start saying, "What a ......." then very quietly and uncertainly, "... beautiful baby," obviously thinking there was something drastically wrong with him. He grew up to be beautiful, though, and is now a hulking 30-something dude!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1120','Kit'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> I beg to differ about the ugly baby comment.

Same today, pretty much. The thing that's driving me and Kathy's husband scatty is the specialist told them yesterday that there was absolutely no sign of anything happening and he'd see her again on Wednesday to discuss inducing it. That'll be a whole fortnight without beer! Folk are beginning to look at me strangely. You know the old saying: Never trust a camel, or indeed anyone, who can go two weeks without a drink.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1074','Primal Sneeze'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> Mem – I was just too busy with work yesterday to do anything blogwise.

I was around there yesterday and applied downward pressure during the goodbye hug, but to no avail. Jayzez, this could be my second dry weekend in a row. By the way, All - Where's the sympathy for poor old Primal here? Pretty soon I won't remember what Guinness tastes like. *Wails, wrings hands* Ochón agus ochón!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1057','Primal Sneeze'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> FMC – Nothing stirring yet.

I could borrow some scaffolding from my builders so we do a proper ceiling height jobbie. We'll finish with <i>paint sammiges</i> and beer. Medbh - Don't I know it. Christmas gets more and more expensive each year. This year's cards will read <i>Happy Christmas! Now, stop breeding would yez, for fek's sake</i>. Subtle hint, don't you know.

(http://www.dickblick.com/zz212/15/) Then you don't have to worry about the beer because you and the little guy will both be high as kites from all the sniffing.
