I think we’re at a point in the pregnancy where it’s a bit quieter than at other times. By this I mean we’ve had our first ultrasound, my wife hasn’t got a massive belly yet, it’s four weeks until our second scan and finding out the gender, we can’t organise very much just yet as knowing our baby’s sex will make it easier, etc etc.

Given all of this, at times it’s almost like the pregnancy is a bit like thinking about Christmas in February – you know it’ll happen one day but it seems like a long time away yet.

There are things though that make me realise how close we really are to having our first child. Yesterday, for instance, I purchased our first lot of nappies!
