    Great news on the baby front Ed. Congratulations!!
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Thank you all for your lovely thoughts, wishes and congratulations :beer:

    We are very, very happy, as it has felt like we've been trying for a while (probably 18 months if we're honest).

    Very confident that we can provide a warm, loving home to a baby and that we have the right mix of temperaments to cover all the bases as they grow up.

    Mrs E is 12 weeks pregnant, in good health (no morning sickness, although she is finding it understandably tiring).

    The prospect of a baby really does add another layer to life.

    From what I know of you and have heard of Mrs E, you'll be stonking parents.

    I hope you and Mrs E are enjoying your last Valentine's Day as a childless couple. xxx

    Lovely news! Congratulations to both of you. :)

    Nice news about the lack of morning sickness too. :) Lots of people get less tired after 13 weeks or thereabouts, so here's hoping Mrs E does.
