LIFESTYLES OF THE YOUNG AND POSITIVE

SO LUCY IS DUE TO GIVE BIRTH TO OUR FIRST CHILD THIS WEEK, BUT REALLY IT COULD COME ANYTIME NOW...OR NEXT WEEK

OTHER FATHERS HAVE BEEN TELLING ME ABOUT THE FEELINGS OF HOLDING YOU NEWBORN FOR THE FIRST TIME - IVE BEEN TRYING TO COMPARE IT TO SOMETHING LIKE OPENING UP A PRESENT OR HEARING AN AMAZING RECORD FOR THE FIRST TIME.. NEITHER REALLY SEEM RIGHT..

WE HAVE EVERYTHING WE NEED NOW, A PRAM WITH LOADS OF ATTACHING GIZMOS, MOSES BASKET, PAPOOSE, SLING, PLAY STUFF IN BRIGHTS AND NOISY FABICS TO STIMULATE THE SENSES, BOOKS (WHICH I REALLY NEED TO GET ON AND READ), NAPPIES, ALL THE ESSENTIALS + THE DEEPEST SET OF GARMENTS ANY YOOT COULD SPORT.... EVER
LOADS OF PEOPLE HAVE HELPED OUT AND GIVEN US STUFF - MAD THANK YOUS!

WHEN HE COMES OUT INTO THE WORLD I'M EXPECTING TO DEAL WITH IT WELL - MY ATTITUDE TO THIS IS THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DOING IT SINCE DAY1 AND YOU WILL JUST KNOW WHAT TO DO... MAYBE I'M WRONG... I MEAN I KNOW ITS GOING TO BE A SHOCK AND A HALF TO THE SYSTEM BUT NOTHING WE CANT DEAL WITH RIGHT! - IM NOT OVERLY KEEN ON READING INFO BOOKS AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN ONE TO LIVE BY THE RULES SO IMMA TAKE IT DAY BY DAY, SHOW MAXIMUM LOVE AND SEE WHERE IT TAKES ME (PROBABLY TO A BOOK)

IT IS GONNA BE KINDA WIERD BECAUSE NONE OF MY CLOSE FRIENDS HAVE KIDS - IM THE FIRST OF THE MASSIVE - IM SURE WE'LL MEET PEOPLE THAT ARE 'YOUNG' PARENTS AND COOL, WOULD BE NICE IF ONE OF THE MANDEM JOINED ME IN THIS GREAT ADVENTURE CALLED LIFE.. THINK ABOUT IT, OR MAYBE DONT -JUST DO IT!

THIS IS A SUPER RARE MOMENT, EVERYTHING IN MY WORLD IS ABOUT TO CHANGE, I CANT WAIT FOR IT, I HOPE THAT HE ENJOYS LIFE AS MUCH AS ME.
