Boris and Carrie’s baby.

I think the last Downing Street baby was Leo Blair

I remember Florence Cameron was born in Cornwall while the Camerons were on holiday but I can't remember whether DC was in Downing Street by then.

Yes he was, we were down there staying near the Cameron’s with our grandsons. The boys found themselves surfing alongside?. Security bods on the beach, bit weird.

Why come on a thread you have no interest in purely to say you have no interest?!

It always surprises me how often people feel the need to do this!

Going off piste, but why do we all still refer to a new baby’s weight in pounds and ounces?

No one says, “Oh, my new grandson weighed 3 kilos” or whatever.

I wonder about this!

Seems to still be the norm

7lb or 3.175 kg

All my grandchildren had their weights measured in pounds and ounces

A couple of my children had their weights registered in kg. Didn't half confuse me!!

My DGS was measured in kg. (4.825 kg)

Perhaps they come on to let those of us who are, know they're not interested?!!! or perhaps just to make sarky unpleasant comments for the sake of it?! Sad really!!

and best ignored.

I wish Wilfred a long and happy life, just as I do for all babies born into such an uncertain world.
Yes, he does seem long. My first baby was 9lbs 12oz (I can't think in metric) and is now 6'4".
It amazes me how some people feel the need to be unpleasant.

Wow henetha 9lb 12 !!
I bet that brought tears to your eyes, and a first baby too!

My 4th was 9lb 8oz and the biggest in the nursery, or so I though! The nurse came round and woke me to go and feed my baby as she was crying. I staggered in, picked up the big baby near the door, fed it, all the while wondering why my baby wouldn't feed and why someone didn't come and feed the baby wailing at the other side of the room. Went back to bed only to be told that I really should go and feed my baby as she was getting distressed. Oops!!

But you didn’t....??

Oh Kitty! Have you told your daughter the tale?

That sounds like one of those ‘never lived it down’ family stories!!

I thought his name was Theodore and I've convinced DH. Not that he was very interested.
Who was I thinking of?

Boris does have a son called Theodore Apollo with his then wife, Marina Wheeler, but he's 21.

Wilfred's big half-brother.

Ps Theodore has the same hair as his father

Ah. I see, wrong kid. Thank you callistemon I'll now try to impress DH.

You're welcome!

I knew there was a Theodore around somewhere but I had to check

Hi JenniferEccles.. . My second baby was only a couple of pounds lighter...

Duh! I meant ounces... he was 9lbs 8 oz.

What is the point you are making,Annesixty? We saw Carrie when she was pregnant, we got the news when the baby was born. Is there some doubt about how old the baby is? Why??

I wondered the same Ladymuck, perhaps a remake of the baby in the bedwarmer ??????

DS1 was 9lbs 5oz, and was nicknamed Rod as he had hair like Rod Stewart, now 6ft and could hide behind a lamppost !!

I love babies, whatever they look like!

They are the future of the planet and are good to cuddle so whats not to like?

I was not making any point at all.
I just made an observation that the baby was perhaps longer or taller than SOME other babies.
Nothing sinister, plotting or even suggesting anything else.
After many years I think I am coming to realise the perhaps GN is no longer for me.

To be fair to annsixty I honestly don’t think she had any hidden agenda !! Bad luck Ann !
My comments re lack of interest were just that....but seem to have provoked the exclamation mark fest
