Tping one handed in the hour of five!

Good morning all,

So the bean has a sore tummy I think, or maybe a bad dream or wind. The trouble with a crying baby at silly a clock in the morning is that they don't tell you what is up, leaving you to try and remedy each possible ailment one by one before starting over.
I downloaded a "White Noise" MP3 last night, for those of you who dont know what that is imagine a static tv after shut down and the noise it makes. The idea being it recreates the sound in the womb and causes "alpha waves" that send the bambini to sleep...At least thats what the blurb said before I paid my fiver. Tried it last night and was amazed when the bean stopped crying in 5 mins and went to sleep, so impressed i told the couple i met in the coffee shop all about it and the science behind it as they stared at me blankly. Less impressed after 45 mins of noise this morning and no let up in the howling.
The phenomenon of telling strangers details of parenthood is a curious one, I told the entire birth story to a bewildered assistant in the Lanes a couple of days ago as a cue wound out of her door. I could tell she wasnt interested but it seemed I had to finish my story regardless of the vacant expression on her face

I can tell you we have had a name narrow down to Matilda/tilda/tilly or Evelyn/evie. I took it for granted that they come with a name attached but no, we keep adding and subtracting to the list, promising ourselves that it must now be closed and a choice will be made.
The responsibility has led us to consider 8-10 middle names leaving the bean a variety in case of playground teasing or changes in fashion...
