Baby’s coming
Mamma mia the time is coming closer and closer. The weeks go by, the nights draw in, the excitement and the anxiety builds (and the spending too..). Our little baby will be a girl. Maybe she’ll get her mother’s good looks, or her father’s horrendous nose. No matter what Chi says, I am sure we could not see Louisa’s nose on the ultra-sound scan. Definitely not. November the 27th is the precise date we are expecting. In preparation for her arrival my wife has proved to be as useful wielding a credit card as a Charlies Angel with a knife caught in a tight spot (once again if you are reading honey just joking). So far we only have the baby bath, 6 bodysuits, some pjs, a tiny hat and tiny gloves, a fistful of T-shirts, some nappies, a pushchair (complete with car seat travel system), a moses basket (with stand), a ‘baby gym’, a changing mat, a changing bag, oils and lotions, a small tub for splashing baby, some pink flannel sized things for putting on your shoulder when baby is puking, and on and on….
I have yet to buy the earplugs and the Valium. Ahh what the hell, I’ll only have to get up in the mornings and go to Britain’s finest state schools to learn my trade. Just what you want after a night of green liquid poo, a classroom full of adolescent British males.
One things for sure, it’ll all be worth it.

Hi Mate,
Stumbled on your blog. I am based in PP, Cambodia with Khmer wife and we have just had our first baby - a girl too. I know what you are/will be going through. It’s the best so enjoy every moment !
BTW - Valium,earplugs and a night mask are your best friends ! Someone should make a “daddypack” with these 3 items
Hey Justin,
I can trust a man with such a well titled blog (unless you nicked it…!). Yes, we can’t wait, only 5 weeks now.
