The waiting game
Not much new this week. We are now well and truly into the waiting game. Mel thought she could feel some flickerings of movement this week but who knows (it could have just been a bad curry). It is a tad early for most first timers. Give it another few weeks and Noodles will definately make himself known. It is something to look forward to because then you really know there is something inside. This easter Monday is the day we are telling the parents. They are coming over for a BBQ lunch (it is Mel's dad's birthday) and we will break the news. Mel is a little nervous about what will happen after that but I guess you have to expect some noisy antics for the first grandchild. (did I say first? We will see how this one turns out before comitting to a second!) Two more Dr Suess books made their way into the collection this week but other than that I have shown remarkable restraint in the purchasing department. I am very impatient and like to buy stuff..... but having a baby is turning out to be expensive (who would have thought) so finances dictate a certain controlled splurge approach. Oh well...wish us luck for Monday :)

Top 10 ways to break to your parents you are going to have a baby:
10. Slap your mother and shout "For God sakes woman act like a grandmother!"
9. Tell 'em: "Mum, dad, your son has no chance of knocking up a lesbian, but don't worry..."
8. "Don't go planning any holiday trips in the second half of the year as I want you on call 24-7."
7. "We're expanding as a couple"
6. "No, I haven't had breast enlargement surgery."
5. "Hey who wants to see my photos of my gnocchi?"
4. "I hear rug rats will be in fashion this October…"
3. Redecorate your flat with squirrel wallpaper
2. Email 'em your blog site and wait for the phone to ring
1. "Mum, dad, that bugaboo ain't for Ben…"
Thanks for the advice Paul. I particularly like number 2 as it is really telling them by stealth. We have bought your father a birthday card with "happy Birthday Grandad" on it. That should do the trick. Stay tuned for the "shocked parents" photos on the blog.
