Hit Me Baby One More Time.

Rather than serve up another whiny post about being busy at work (I was) and being sick of being cold/wet ( I am) I have something significant to share this week.

No, not another gig nobody cares about (although I did gig last night) but a much more significant life event. In fact maybe there are no more significant life events.

With it now approaching the 14 week mark I’m delighted, thrilled and very happy to share that our family is expanding.

Rebecca and Tom are expecting baby number three, sometime in August.

Yesterday was a significant day too as courtesy of an early scan they found out that the new arrival will be a girl. Whilst all everyone was hoping for was a healthy arrival, I think it’s OK to say that everyone is delighted that there will be a little girl in the family again.

It has been a rough few months for Rebecca as she has felt and been very sick throughout, and is only now feeling somewhere close to human again.

The boys stayed at ours whilst the scan was undertaken and a quickly assembled gender reveal was convened with a DIY cake, me on FaceTime from my gig and the boys digging glasses into the cake to reveal the pink filling.

It was fair to say Dougie was not enormously thrilled initially to learn he was getting a sister. Few three year old boys would be I guess. He came round fairly quickly and I’m sure by the time she arrives he will be as delighted as everyone else.

Freddie has said ahead of the scan that he wanted a sister so he was immediately very happy but that might have been because he now had cake.

So lovely news all round and many congrats to Rebecca and Tom.

Till the next time…..

Great Expectations

Some weeks, I’ll be honest, it can be a struggle to find something to blog about. My life isn’t that exciting! For the first time, today I am going to inflict two posts on you. As promised, a little later I will post day one of the To Siesta Key….and Beyond Tour 2017. Before I do though I have important news to share with you all.

Rebecca is expecting! She and Tom are beyond excited and delighted and we couldn’t be happier about it. This lovely news is now finally sharable with you all after she announced it earlier this week having hit the twelve week milestone.

Everyone’s joy is doubled as this journey has been a rocky one. I share this with Rebecca and Tom’s permission of course, but the past fourteen months or so have been a roller coaster for them and everyone close to them as they have suffered the agony of three miscarriages. I cannot explain here the heartbreak this has involved and if you remember me alluding to crappy stuff going on in recent times, then a lot of that was related to these events.

Anyway, enough of that. Now is the time to look to the future and the journey Rebecca and Tom are starting on with Thing 1.

It is also Rebecca’s birthday today, and we’re having a little family gathering to celebrate her special day. Happy Birthday pud!

At some point around early November your own little pud will arrive and your life will change forever, nearly exclusively for the better! 🙂 Enjoy every minute.

Till the next time…..
