Pregnant Bloke


After more than a year of saying "No, not yet," finally we have been able to spring a genuine New Year surprise on friends by saying (as casually as we could manage), "Yes" to The Question.

Surprisingly emotional for many friends, telling people is simply a relief for me, and I somehow feel I am cheating them or having the wrong response if I do not express wild enthusiasm and back-slapping excitement.

The best people to tell, by far, from my perspective, are good mates who have recently had children. When I tell them, they congratulate me, laugh, and make me feel good, and expect nothing of me.

Pregnant Bloke. That's how it makes me feel.
