I made a news post a month ago that turned out to be a little premature (and I deleted it before anyone saw it). Fingers crossed that isn't true this time- the evidence suggests that this time I am right to make this post, and as I can't talk about this to any of my friends or family for a couple of months then this is going to be the outlet for my excitement and fear! It may be early. Things may go wrong. The future is a difficult thing to predict.
But if all goes well my life will change forever in January next year!
You do the maths.
UPDATE: Two weeks until the first scan now, and finally being able to tell people! Very exciting! And to top it off I've got my absolute dream job today in one of the best state schools in the South West, so everything is falling nicely into place.

Oh this is wonderful news! I will try not to count the chickens before they are hatched (or babies before they are birthed!) but its really fantastic to hear this. I always told you that you'd be a terrific father and god you're going to show it so much to your baby and wife. I'm so happy for you Rob. I wish your wife a smooth and relatively painless pregnancy and so much happiness for the future to the both of you.. and baby Sentio!

It still doesn't feel real for the moment- all we have as evidence is a stick. First doctor's appointment is on Thursday and I guess things will start to pick up from there! Thanks for the support though- you are more confident than I am in my skills as a father, but I'm certainly excited about the prospect. Luckily the baby will have a terrific mother!
It's driving me crazy not to be able to tell anyone, but we agreed that we would hold off until we are sure everything is going to plan! My mates have just opened a sweepstake on who will produce offspring first amongst us... I feel I may have an unfair advantage!
