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.0 -
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. xxxDebt: £11,640.02 paid in full! DFD: 30/06/20
