Blimey, just blimey....Now unlocked.

I'll unlock this post when Madame says so and not before.

SWMBO is pregnant. Very early, it must be said: about two weeks gone, according to the home test.

Talk about a chap shitting bricks....I fret about the health of any possible child of mine after my weird-and-wonderful life: I have no diseases that I know of and have been tested for everything recently, but I do wonder about any genetic damage I may have done over my multi-drug abusing past. I don't mind shouldering the burden of my own sins, but I'd hate for them to be visited upon any offspring.

We can but hope that any progeny of mine is free from the taint of my past.

There's a damn good chance the pregnancy won't 'stick' as the phrase is. I mean look at poor little Willie Hague and Ffion. I'm going to be close to sixty by the time I have to teach the little blighter to play with a straight bat, and if the poor thing is a boy then on top of it he'll have all that testosterone influenced stupidity to deal with....and I'll be too ancient and boring to rein him in when he needs it. I'll be seventy odd when he or she goes to university (if the little blighter's smart enough to get into one that is).

And it all starts off with a good couple of years as a house-husband, changing nappies and what not. I doubt we can stretch to the expense of a nanny.

In some ways my cup runneth over. In others I just shudder to think, my dears.

Smiles. If I could have the healthy beautiful girl I had at age 36 with my past, you two will be just fine with your bun in the oven. Here's to a healthy happy life for the baby as a human.

It's still early days yet: we're both pretty old (SWMBO is forty) and the first trimester is always the most problematic. It still may not 'take', but we can hope. :)
