Here we go again…fingers crossed and all that jazz.

Official and confirmed: Madame is pregnant again. Due date is 15th July 2013. Crikey.

Went to King's for the 12 week scan. Almost all the staff appear to be European of some description, and with English as a second language. Made me wonder why we have so few native English speakers working in our hospitals with names like Smith, Jones, Patel, or Murphy. I mean, it's not as if doctors are that badly paid.

Had a great time over Christmas and the New Year: St Neot's for Christmas, and Hackness for New Year. Henry charmed one and all, and was dreadfully indulged, bless him, and got more presents than is good for him.

Hope the semi-murderous impulses associated with new siblings escapes Henry's sunny nature. But though we shall be richer in other respects as a family, we're sure as hell going to be financially poorer. Such is.

No cigarettes of any kind for a week. Haven't eaten any furniture as a consequence, but this may yet happen.

Congratulations.

It may be time to get those towels marked 'His' and 'Hers' - just as a precaution ... :D

Mazel tov. Elder son only experienced those impulses for a brief period in his teens when the younger son was his drummer. Other than that, they have always been the best of buddies. May you be likewise blessed.

Drummers…what can I say?

Indeed.

Fingers crossed!

I know.

Who'd have thought at fifty-one that my little wrigglers still had some get-up-and-go? Especially after my debauched previous life.

We're both pretty damn old for this, SWMBO being forty-two…so there are still a few possible hiccoughs: fingers crossed is pretty appropriate.

Congrats, man!

And don't you worry, you'll manage financially. ;-)

We should, we're in the one percent, after all.

But our outgoings are huge. Gigantic mortgage (London property), full-time nanny, etc.

Ergo, poor is relative: but with luck we'll be okay even when the school fees kick in.

congrats! My wife and are are discussing having a third baby in the next two years, which would be three over six years.

Thank, but I reckon two is our limit. :)

Oh, I don't push our insanity on others.

FWIW, Charlie, who is not quite two, is quite taken with Ben, who is six weeks old. Usually he's not upset that we're not spending more time with him, he's upset that BEN's not spending more time with him.
