Exciting news...

This news is perhaps long overdue and seeing as Griff has posted it on his weblog there is now no point in not posting it here. Marla and I are expecting our first child in October. We are, of course, very excited. And inevitably nervous too. The exact due date is October 7th - although I think it is less than 5% of babies are born on their due date.

We had our first visit from the midwife just last week and were able to hear the babies heartbeat, which was brilliant. Marla is more or less over the morning-sickness phase of things and once this hectic time at her work passes she should be able to enjoy being pregnant more than during the first tri-mester (is that hyphenated?).

Other news, that rather pales into insignificance now, is that Liverpool are into the semi-final of the UEFA Champions League after beating Juventus over the two legs of the Quarter Final. They will play Chelsea in the SF, which means that there will be an English club in the final of the competition. I just hope it's Liverpool!
