Time is going so quickly. It felt like yesterday I found out my girlfriend was pregnant. Fast forward a couple of months and we found ourselves at the hospital awaiting our 20 week baby. The midwife was impressed with everything seen on the scan ie measurements of heart and brain. It took a little while to get the head measurements as baby B did not want to move. A bemused sonographer had a chuckle and said “well your baby doesn’t want to move for me but he is happy to flash his penis”. It was the first time we had heard what the gender of our baby was going to be. We were both delighted at the news that we are expecting a little boy on 12.12.19! Excitement has fully over took the nerves and shopping for your own baby is actually more fun that first thought! Keeping the news a secret was tough, although eventually released through a series of photos with baby boy balloons! It was a kind of a nice “ha in your face” to people who thought they were pregnancy experts and predicted a baby girl! Although we would of been happy either way!

Hi Guys and girls. Welcome to my blog page. As you can probably tell, I am not used to using this website hence the plain page. Hopefully in the coming weeks things will change :).

So on the 9th of April, I was hit with the news that my girlfriend was pregnant. A strange scenario we found ourselves in due to deciding early on that we did not want children due to all the exciting plans we had ahead for the future. My initial reaction was to laugh, then thing, then panic. Things were very awkward for the next couple of hours until discussions took place. Although i can only speak for myself, I was 100% against abortions. It was a promise i had made myself from an early age. Especially as this pregnancy came about from pure stupidity of not using protection. My girlfriend also felt the same way but was also budding very quickly in her career as a purchase ledger clerk, and was promoted for the company she works for, in under a year! Fast forward 4 days onto the 13th April, my girlfriend had took my thoughts and beliefs in as well as her own and decided we would go forward with the pregnancy and start our very own beautiful family.

It has been very hard for me to keep things quiet. Strange how early panic can took into such a positive happiness. The moment I found out- at 26 years old- I messaged my dad and told him not to tell my mum! I have told family and close friends about the news which has been hit with such a tremendous reaction. Although having my own child will be different, I became an uncle at 10 and now am an uncle to 15 children. I could field a full football team and have 4 substitutes!

On 7th May we had our first appointment with the midwife. Things went very well and the midwife was very nice. A predicted due date was given as 13th December- The same day my Grandfather was born. My grandfather is no longer with us so this news was met with emotion. How wonderful if my grandfather and my child share a birthday? Both me and Girlfriend S are now awaiting a referral to the hospital for our first scan which is scheduled for 24th June.

A life time Journey has now started and i could not be any happier. From panic to sheer joy! I hope you all follow me on this wonderful road
