Trev's learning it's hard to be a grownup

Trev’s Blog Update....

Thanks for all the emails with regards to the Top 10 things not to say to a pregnant woman...Listen out in the next couple of mornings and you will hear the results...And if producer Sue thinks they are worthy of our tasty bits then you can also catch them between 9 and 11 on Saturday morning. They will also be added to the blog next week – so one way or another you will see your handy work, there are some real gems in there!!

We have started ante-natal classes over the last week with the National Childbirth Trust...its not CHILDCARE, its Childbirth...This was the first question to the group of 10 of us and yes I stuck my hand up and said that the C in N.C.T. stands for the latter...WRONG and everyone got a handle on me very quickly!  Our first session was Enlightening, Frightening and Tiring (finishes at 10pm and then to bed for 4½ hours!!) – The tiring bit was the excuse I gave for getting the question wrong!

Like any first day at school, everyone was nervous at first and it was a quiet start as we checked each other out. I noticed that when we were asked to swap email addresses some couples had joint family email addresses smiths@hotmail bla blab la, the competitive gene in me was rearing its ugly head. It flared up again when I spotted one of the other couples had matching his and her trainers...Mrs Marshall later pointed out that we would never venture down that route...Just wait though until they are buy one get one free in George at Asda, then we will be walking round like twins – the force will be too great not to bow to the pressure of the bargain!

2 learning points from the session, (apart from the fact that we must get a family email address)...

1 – The female Pelvis is amazing..I am not suggesting that if you are dating someone new or if you have a friendly female work colleague that you bring this in to the conversation as quickly as you can, but the flexibility of that little device allows the wonder of childbirth...Mrs Marshall  now loves her Pelvis..Me too of course!

2 – The baby could arrive early, in fact it could be three weeks early!!! This has put in doubt my annual golf trip with the Chestnuts golf society where 30 of us all meet up and have a few ‘Man days’...I will get back to you on this one...still working through negotiations!!

There was loads about the actual anatomical workings of the female body, which again is amazing – Far better than us men, obviously we can reverse park, which goes some way in to alleviating the agony of us being the weaker sex when it comes to all things biological!!

Any way, drop me an email with either a yes I should go for my last ever golf trip or No I should stay and play the waiting game!! The email address is Trevor.marshall@jackfm.co.uk
