#1: A Welcome Arrival? Author: Cath V-P, Location: Newcastle NSWPosted: Fri Jul 29, 2005 11:22 pm What do you mean, a girl? It can’t be a girl! I have boys – big handsome boys that I can be proud of!! I made it clear that if I had to do this again, I WANTED ANOTHER BOY.
It’s a bit small isn’t it? And all that dark hair: I always have fair babies – are you really sure it’s mine?
A name? I don’t know – I hadn’t thought about a name. I suppose she has to have one?
Goodness, he likes her - he's actually cuddling her! Well, that’s settled; we’ll call her Theodora.

#15: Author: Chair, Location: Rochester, Kent, EnglandPosted: Tue Aug 02, 2005 11:38 am That was so sad that they hadn't even started to think of a name for Theodora.
#16: Author: Changnoi, Location: New Mexico, USAPosted: Tue Aug 02, 2005 1:37 pm That was excellent!
It just shows who Mrs. Grantley is and how unwanted Ted was. I like it.

Or she could go with the 'Oi you' suggestion someone made at the SG!
