I think that my babies are on the way

For those of you that have been following my story as a pregnant maid working for a major Australian Grande Dame. All day I have had a feeling that my long awaited baby fish are on the way. I have been having minor contractions for the past couple of hours and I just know that Goodie's going to be a Grandmother Fish very soon. I'm hoping that I won't have more than 500,000 eggs and an egg to fry ration of abut 90% That means about 450,000 babies if my maths is right. Whatever shall we call them all? Please help with the names. I'm off to have a nice lie down in the river now. I'll let you know when my waters burst!

As i'm a huge fan of the unusual i'd go with odd names like Soda, Spoon, Branch, and other nouns of no real importance... like the Native Americans who named thier kids after the first thing they saw. Blue Sky, Puffy Cloud, Need to do the dishes, Ew Laundry....
@p1kef1sh (45681)
31 Aug 08
Answer you, Thank you very much, don't mention it, no really, my pleasure, if you insist etc etc.... LOL. But yes - Ew laundry. Except I love washing, hate ironing though.

Ahh! P1ke! this is just what I needed after a long day of fall cleaning..I cleaned so much today I feel as though I been through a aerobic exercise class..I am aching everywhere..lol So this story is a good giggle for me at 2am in the morning.. Okay now this is a day old..but have the little baby fish arrive yet or was it false labor?..Whew that many babies..you bet your glad they don't take a teet..lol And I hope you didn't forget your breathing lessons? We wouldn't want you to have complications and don't forget the focal point..and I do hope your getting help in supporting all them babies..Names..ummm, maybe it would just be easier to get a name book and just start giving them all names out of their in different variations. YOu could name one after me..lol.Well, Let me know when they are born o rif they are....can't have them swimming around nameless.

They are on their way Becky. I'm out of town for a couple of days but I feel sure that they will be here tomorrow night. I can feel it in my water!! There's one with your name too!

HAHA!!! I read your topic in the hottest topics list. I though that I would take a peek because I thought that maybe your last name was fish and that you were pregnant with twins. I thought this was funny on my part. Good luck and congrats on your new baby fish. -Barb

P1kef1sh:We will have to take donations up for you to be able to feed all those young fish when they are born...lol you been choosing names yet?
@p1kef1sh (45681)
31 Aug 08
LOL. Is this in the hot topics? Well I never. There are not too many pregnant male fish about. Wait until they are born. Or at least the eggs are laid. Bit later on I think!
@mummymo (23706)

Hmmmmm do pikefishes actually have waters before their eggs spew forth? Anyway I don't think we should be naming them - you would never remember all their names - I think they should all be called baby and automatically know which one you are talking to! Hugs xxxx
@mummymo (23706)
2 Sep 08
Well I can be practical sometimes you know - especially when it comes to the sprogs! lol Why do you think mine are called Niall and Niamh - makes life so much easier that they are so similar , they even have similar birthdays! hee hee hee I can think of much more appropriate names than Oi stoppit - specially as tehy are so many in number! lol xxx
@p1kef1sh (45681)
2 Sep 08
LOL. That's so practical Mummymo. But I expect that they will all end up being called "Oi. Stoppit"!!

450,000, huh? Hmmm, how about One, Two, Three, Four, Five and so on? Geez, it's hard enough coming up with a name for ONE, let alone 450,000! I raised 3 baby turtles whom I named Moe, Larry and Curly, but that's only three. Let's see... Pee and Piddle, there's two more; how about WeeWee?
@p1kef1sh (45681)

Ohh wow that's really cool to hear p1kef1sh. Baby fish look really cute when they are tiny. You could name them tim, jim, kim, sim, lin and so on. I wonder if you would like these name. Anyways keep us informed about the good news and we'll be really happy to hear it. All the best.
