A stark realisation has hit me recently.  A life changing event, a massive responsibility and as everyone say the best thing you will ever do.  Lara and I are going to become parents.  Lara is now 29 weeks pregnant and is really starting to show it.

This was taken last night.  So from going from hardly being able to tell she is pregnant a month ago to this is quite a step!  Lara is very good spirited and is happy and keeps smiling, but I can tell she is a bit bored of being tired and restricted on what she can do.  I think she looks awesome (there is the bit where I get brownie points)

All the normal parent stuff is starting with us, the bits we need to go out and buy, booking nurseries and kissing good buy to a large chunk of our spare time.  But as everyone says it will be worth it.  I think I am going a bit mental as I find myself talking to the bump about the correct tyre choice for conditions and lecturing it on snow pack analysis.

We talk alot about how we want to raise the child, what we do and don’t want to do with him / her (we don’t know what sex it is yet).  I mainly look at baby bikes and try and work out how soon till i can teach them to bike!

I saw this picture and it made me smile, I wonder if this is how I will be with my child????!!!!!???????
