This week we bought a car. It is shiny and goes fast and has plenty of room for a small person in the back.
We also bought a new "travel system" which is what they call prams these days, apparently. It is shiny and goes about walking pace, is more or less designed to fit small persons inside, and also folds up to fit inside the new shiny car.
If baby turns up when he's supposed to, he'll arrive this month. It'd be wrong to say that panic is setting in. Panic set in about a month ago and has snuck in his girlfriend Niggling Doubts, while his mate Creeping Dread kips on the sofa.
But it will all be okay, won't it? Yes, yes it will...
Won't it?
Last weekend we had a look around the delivery suite on a "guided tour", just so we know what to expect.
It was a bit like a TraveLodge, but slightly less clinical.
Other things happened, erm...
Look, I'm bunging all of this kind of stuff into my twitter feed these days which basically sucks all the creativity out of my brain and leaves very little left for bloggage. Okay?!
Love ya! x




Good luck! And best wishes to the missus and (soon to be) sprog.
If you tweet from the delivery room then there really is no saving you
All the best, and if the delivery room really is like a Travelodge then dont forget to nick the tiny shampoos..its the law
Delivery room,
The miracle of childbirth,
Here comes baby now!
A new car? I hope you've run it in 'cos you'll be wanting to break the sound barrier when Jane says "I think the baby's coming."
Have you got your 'Dad kit' sorted?
Comfy shoes... for pacing in.
Troos you don't mind getting 'stuff' on.
Small change (vending machines)
Charged mobile
Hanky
Big smile + patience.
Lynn don't worry the car is only new to us and we've found the go faster button.
capita - Shint the word the woman in labour uses to her birth partner when he suggests that he just pops out for a bacon buttie as in "You shi..nt argh!"
And yes - it's all worth it, our little (not so little anymore) is more awesome than I could have every wished for :-D
See all 3 of you soon x
Lynn gives good advice on the rest of that "kit"...
Thinking of all 3 of you!

Whatever falls out of baby's mouth is perfectly fine to put back in baby's mouth as long as it has not been on the floor for more than three seconds.The rule is then expanded to include an infinite amount of time between retrieval of the pacifier (dummy for Brits?) or whatever, with the second and subsequent children.
Good luck, you two. I dare you to place that pacifier back in baby's mouth without the mandatory sterization.
A certain individual, who shall go unnamed, had been observed boiling said pacifier following a miniscule 2 seconds of pacifier placement on a floor just full of wonderful germs.
Congratulations on your upcoming addition to the family!!
