LOL! Don't you just love the bodily fluids!
I'll second (or third) what everyone else has said ... get an answering
machine! It saves so much hassle at inopportune moments :)

actually we have an answering machine, but for some reason our friends
don't use it, the first call was the baby sitter confirming what time we
wanted her round, definitely a call it was good to pick up, the other
however was a junk call, very annoying.

Is there a term called 'telephone training' :-) To be initiated shortly
before the kids reach 12.

DH's family isn't big on answering machines, but they know that I won't call
them back unless they leave a message (I won't call back based on the fact
that I know they called because of caller ID). They also know (because I've
told them) that if I'm nursing, changing a diaper or am otherwise occupied
in a baby activity or if we're eating as a family (i.e. not in front of the
TV) the phone doesn't get answered. It's amazing how quickly everyone
learned.

Tell your friends, nanny, etc. that you just can't answer the phone
sometimes and would appreciate it if they'd leave a message. If they call
and say that they've been trying to reach you, respond with, "Oh. I didn't
get your message." Eventually people will get it. If DH's family can get it
then anyone can.

Too funny! My daughter pooped on me in the bath a few times, but
never quite so spectacularly! It's pretty icky, but I too survived!

I read this quickly and saw 10.8 (as in 10 and 8 tenths months) and 1 month.
I was thinking to myself WHAT A NIGHTMARE to become pregnant that soon. Then
my mind kicked in...

We have friends like that - but they also know if we aren't answering
there is a reason (and I would have counted your case as a good reason
*not* to answer the phone). If we don't answer they call back in 5 to
20 mins if it is important.
