The First Post

Hello.

This is my first post in this blog. It's not my first crack at blogging, but it IS the most significant, and it's the only blog I have any interest in maintaining, so it's the only one I'll be adding to from now on.

Who am I?

Well, I'm a police officer, so there'll be stuff in this blog about that, from time to time.

I'm a hubby too, to a wonderful lady who has put up with more than her fair share of my tinkerings, and for that I'm eternally grateful.

And yesterday, I found out I'm going to be a dad in about 8 months and one week - roughly!

So, this morning, I have a blazing hangover, but frankly I don't care :)

We've already done a bit of research into foetus development, and my mini-me is currently the size of a weeny pea, with a heart the size of a poppy seed, so I believe!

It's totally mind blowing to think that we have done this! We decided last month to start trying for a family, but had resigned ourselves to the fact that it may well be a year or so before being successful, so to find out so soon is staggering, especailly since GMTV ran a feature this morning that said up to 35% of couples trying to conceive run into problems. It's early days for us, and we only found out so soon due to the First Response home pregancy kit, which can detect the pregancy hormone very early. So it's fingers crossed just now.

I'm going back to my daze just now, and to think about what we can do with our spare bedroom - cos it's going to be needed!
