.. A musky Saturday morning, a strange music flows through the sitting room....
Science officer Amelia Chiesa is getting ready for her first adventure and she is ready to boldly go where she has never been...
Here she is trying her first proper commute
.... we would have had a lot of picture if my husband had actually worked out the beam me up app, but he could not work it out .... I did however find a way to put him on the cover of SF magazine:
on the way back plenty of photo opportunities courtesy of the Emirates cable car:
station packed, chances of getting a seat on a train 60%
...the next train home is at 17.47..
.
DO i have time to go to the loo???
Toilets in Victoria Station are not very inviting, they cost 30p, they smell, and usually not very clean..
... do i really need to go??? ...
Oh come on it is only 40 minutes nad then i am home, i do not really need to go
......
AAAa...aaa...AAAA..aaa... AAATTTCCHHHHOOOOO
....
????
....
OMG i just almost peed myself!!!!
quick visit to boots for a tena lady pack and a pair of horrible disposable knickers
train lost ... dignity lost ...
I am not anymore the master of my own bladder , i won't be able to sneeze, cough or laugh for the next 3 months without thinking of the consequences...
immediately acquired Baby on board badge
I had been toying with the idea since the beginning of the pregnancy, but this has lierally been "la goccia che fa traboccare il vaso" a colorful italian expression equivalent to the last straw, only involving water, adrop and a vase that is full and overflows....
At least form now on when i will pee myself, throw up in the bin, try to faint people should look at me with compassion and not like if i am the scum of the earth....
Here we are with the first of our Ottavo di finale, the first selection of names to be scaled down...
... we start with the Boy Names ...
Last week we had a load of names, and this week we eliminate some of the names and we tell you why...
Follow our murky and crazy brain in the quest for the perfect name for our imperfect baby
(after all is a micia and micio production so she/he will be awesome but definitely not perfect....)
Let's remember where we were last week and see why the name we took out lost their battle:
Leonardo - I really could not stand the name and I have to say i blame "The big bang theory " for that ... it has nerd in it... and then people would call him Leo ... and how dreadful that would be...:P
Richard II - what did Richard the second do???? ... .... exactly .... nobody even remembers Richard the second... he could not be the lion heart and he is not going to give a speech about the winter of our discontent.... and then if he will ever go to America they will call him JR ....(starts to play in my mind)
so NO NO NO to Richard the second
Edward - Do we really even need to discuss this.... Edward.... Twilight... expressionless, lame, boring, dull and winner of the saddest vampire of all centuries award ... do i really want my son to look like if he is about to take a dump...all the time????????? So another Veto from me....
Akira - Veto from Richard... to quote "are we fricking Japanese????" "WTF Akira Chiesa?????" "Not a chance on earth" ... so no Akira... our baby will not bring Armageddon to the world nor he will become Testuo - the iron man... ( I was hoping)
Tarquin - We love this name, but let's face it, we are never ever going to be able to afford Public school so unless we want our baby to be bullied forever this is not the name for us.... can you see Tarquin strutting his stuff in Peckham???? Well we could not either...
Edmund - No reason in particular.... but we could not even like it anymore... and then he will have to climb Everest or do something crazy like that.... so Edmund did not make the cut...
We are left with the eight names for the quarter finals:
... i will rememebr this week as my first week living with the Schroedinger's baby
for those who are not yet familiar with the now popular Micio di Schroedinger (Thank you big bang theory)we are talking about the ficional experiment used to explain Heisenberg uncertanity principle,The principle that it is not possible to know with unlimited accuracy both the position and momentum of a particle.
the experiment:
We place a living cat into a steel chamber, along with a device
containing a vial of hydrocyanic acid. There is, in the chamber, a very
small amount of hydrocyanic acid, a radioactive substance. If even a
single atom of the substance decays during the test period, a relay
mechanism will trip a hammer, which will, in turn, break the vial and
kill the cat.
Since we cannot know, according to quantum law, the cat is both dead and alive, in what is called a superposition
of states. It is only when we break open the box and learn the
condition of the cat that the superposition is lost, and the cat becomes
one or the other (dead or alive).
so this week has been exactley the same... but in baby terms...
according once again to the evil internet, man i should really stop reading this crap,this week "You may have started to feel your baby movementes"
and to be honest yes you can feel there is something moving inside you... so it is either i am really pregnant or i have a 30 feet tape worm swimming around my intestines... the problem is when you do not feel it... i start to wonder, are you there? are you all right? are oyu dead or alive? can i just open the tummy for a few minutes and check??? just like a schroedinger's micino...
During the day i am far too busy and everythign is far too noisy to actually feel you my little baby, so i do get worried ... so worried i wake up at night, at about 4 am every night when everything is quiet, soft and clear and then i can hear you moving... tap .. sflop ... trippety top ... and then i relax and know you are alive... please keep on moving at least at 4am so at leastonce a day i do not feel the need to open that box to check on you... i am pretty sure it would not be too good nor for you, nor for me... i knda like you already... so do not play silly tricks on me :P
