Big brother

For a while now, Sam has been asking when he can have a little brother or sister. Yesterday Cathy and I were able to tell him – mid January. Cathy had her 12 week scan yesterday revealing a very wriggly little neveratosser with all the bits in the right place. Sam is delighted at the idea of being a big brother - I think that he will be the best big brother in the world, but I'm a little bit biased. The baby is due to arrive mid January which kind of spanners up the ski season (for Cathy, Sam and I are off to the slopes) but we're all rather chuffed about the whole thing.

I'm off for a lie down now – I feel that I deserve it.
