Hey, ben - excellent news! Congratulations to you both. Hope D is feeling well and not finding the third trimester too draining.

Oh, congratulations, Ben. I think this now ups the percentage of people what I know off the interweb what have imminent sprogs to about 48%.
Pointless statistic number 23 in a series of 25.

She finishes work in less than a week so is looking forward to a bit of time alone with Sam before the arrival of the individual I am already taunting him will be "your greatest ever rival for our love".
I'm also reading Edward St Aubyn's novel Mother's Milk, which is a terrific, horribly intimate account of a father-son relationship, seen from both perspectives. It has an astonishing account of birth told from the baby's point of view.

lol. It's great being a dad. Congratulations ben. If you thought having one was hard, you can't possibly imagine the hell that is in store for you with two.

Are kids really all that? We've been thinking about getting one, but I'm not convinced. You seem to hear a lot of complaints about them these days, and there's a lot that can go wrong. I'm wondering whether they're worth the hassle and the expense? Also you're expected to interact with other kid-owners aren't you? I just don't know.

Promise me Thorn...PROMISE ME! that you'll never reproduce.

Come off it, ralph - I'd be a great dad. I want to have a little blonde haired girl called Alice, who I can take for walks in the park and who teases the ducks. And I can buy her a drumkit for her birthday. By the time she's 16 she'll be drumming in a death metal band, with her blonde hair in braids (shaved round the sides) and a few rings through her nose. Probably expelled from school for stabbing some other kid with broken glass, and then prising their belly button out with a bottle opener. It'll be mint. I'd go to her gigs and wave from the back.

Yeah I'm kind of hmmm about kids. Sometimes I think, you know, a good way of killing 20 years or so, but then other times I think maybe I'd prefer to just laze around boozing. I think I'd get tired of them quite quickly.

I am surprisingly immune to kid-fear. If one arrived on the doorstep in a basket tomorrow I'd sigh a little bit and go to the corner shop to buy a carrier bag full of cat food.

ever since auroville, which was the first time in my adulthood that i really hung out with kids, i've wanted a couple of the little shits. i'd give them stupid geldof-esque names and take them to the aquarium. it'll be fun.

But what if little Alice didn't want to be a drummer? What then? What if she wanted to be an accountant?

Extended exposure to my sister's kids last year when she left her husband and moved in with my mum reinforced my view that they're evil little shits. So, er, no. Thanks.

LOL
I'm a bit scared of the whole kids thing. I definately want a couple, and had originally had the age of 28 in my head as being a good time to start thinking about it (age mum was when she had me), but now I'm 28 I think I want another couple of years of lazing about before we go for it. I'm not as scared as I used to be though, and I now see little kids in cute clothes, and think "aaaw" rather than "eeek", so I'm definately getting closer (Pink too I think, though he did nearly faint recently when he saw I'd bought a pregnancy test lol).

That's bad luck. Maybe they were acting out on the change in their lives?
My sister's boy is beautiful and great and I love him to bits. I can confidently state that new babies are not part of my future so I get to be his favourite relative after his mummy and that's cool.
But my sister is something special too.

Children are not for everyone. My sister decided never to have kids, and I respect her for that. There's nothing sadder than people who do reproduce and then realize that they shouldn't have.

You could wear a pair of glasses with Bitmap Focal Lenses, Nuts. Then you could pretend it's a type of virtual reality Japanese import DS game. called something like 'Shitaku: nappy change power party' Expansion packs would feature Rumblepak Tantrums and a wii controller to simulate tanning their hides with a slipper.

God love you for your innocence Mr Black. I hope your optimism is rewarded.
