I’m exhausted, that’s where I am.

I’m utterly exhausted, emotional and barely keeping my head above water with so much going on, so much work and trying to balance life and work.

I’ve just not had the time to blog, sorry, other than the occasional random thought thrown at the other place.

Essie, I was trying to keep the list short. I didn’t intend to belittle the nine months of pregnancy, and I did say “assuming that all goes well”.

As for 1987 … I was young and had energy then. Check out Google for party like it’s …

He’s clearly keeping clear of the scary females! Come out, Gareth, I was only teasing!

Agreed, essie, but so utterly worth it all in the end!

Where’s Gareth gone these days?

Fingers crossed, you’re in our prayers.

Can I object, though, to the male perspective of pregnancy?! The jump from step 4-5, or 11-12, seems to miss out some crucial aspects - morning sickness (or all day), tiredness, poking and prodding (by midwives and health professionals mainly), no booze or soft cheese, and, ahem, the agonizing birth process. Typical man!
I’m a pregnant reader, though, and having a ‘bad pregnancy’ (copyright, but I’ll share…).
Shouldn’t moan - I’ve got this far which is a privilege. And I’ll waft pregnancy hormones in Jane’s direction. {waft}
