Every day brings new excitement. Lately I’ve been having a lot of flashbacks to my childhood, remembering things that my father and I did together.
I have learned a lot from my dad, both what I should do and things I should avoid. I’ve been thinking a lot about what I pass on, what pieces of advice and what skills I should share with my child, whether they’re a boy or girl. Strangely I feel like I can pass things on to a girl, I was raised by a single mother who was fairly open about everything. But I do know that the bulk of a girl’s lessons will be taught by her mother and I am lucky to have a fantastic wifey who will be a great mother.

This morning our parents came over for breakfast. As we were all sitting down over a coffee, the wifey said we had some news. She decided to play a trick on them, so she told them I’d been offered a really well-paying job in Dubai for 5 years and that we were moving over there. It was pretty silent, no reaction at all, and she quickly owned up and said, “We’re having a baby!”.
Her father just about jumped out of his seat and leapt over the table to kiss her (we were right). Her mother started crying (we both got that right too) and my mother just grinned. It was a nice shot of joy in our lives, as my Grandmother, Mum’s mother, died a few months ago, aged a fairly young 69. Mum later told me that she was so happy her immediate thought was “Wait until I tell my mother about this”, but then remembered she’s gone. The circle of life…

Today my wife and I learned that we are expecting our first child.
We married in April last year and in November, decided that she would go off the pill. We weren’t ‘trying’ in the true sense, but we were open to her becoming pregnant if that eventuated. We wanted to start properly trying toward the end of this year.
