I can officially join this thread! This year I had assumed that I would not be going to Le Mans, due to my wife having our baby 5 months ago. Fortunately my wife is awesome and the other day announced that she has no issue with me going! Just booked with Speedchills at Beausejour. Not my first choice of site, but this was all that's left with us booking so late and I'm just happy that I'm going to be there! (frankly I would have accepted a hedge to sleep in).
Similar situation to me, only I told her before she conceived that under no uncertain terms would I be missing another year baby or not! Our second son was born 31st Jan '14!Told the wife that first babies are almost always late, that I'd still be going to Le Mans as normal, and to phone me to let me know whether it was a boy or a girl if it should arrive while away.
24h was great as always, and our son arrived a few days after returning home, which was great too.
Didn't forget for the next one, so our daughter has a birthday in November...
Wife is definitely a keeper - 17 years and counting, while our son is coming on his 3rd Le Mans 24h with me this year, and he wouldn't miss it for the world either.
Most of the stickers are here (can't fit them until new nose is fitted to MX5, new nose here and being painted)
Picking up the tickets from the post office on Saturday
Picking up the polo shirts and hoodies on Saturday
Sat in the garden drinking getting some practice in for the main event :-)

4 weeks today and I'll be there! Stickers ordered today and digging the tent out the loft to see if all the bits are still there after my last trip.
I tend to nip to the local campsite and grab a handful of pegs before even looking in the bag, as im sure some of my crew eat them or something each year.... that or the Monday morning's crack of arse get up, with a bunch of jaded individuals with impaired vision (Kronenberg induced, may I add) is perphaps condusive to leaving some behind!EXCITED NOW!
Mine will hopefully arrive today. For those that use their car they are taking to LM as their daily drive how early will you sticker up? I'm heading out on Friday AM and will probably sticker up on the Monday or Tuesday before but I've seen some cars stickered up on the road way before in the past.

Most my stickers should be here by next weekend, but I think I'm going to wait until June to sticker up! Luckily my car isn't a daily driver, although it will be parked infront of my house. Edited by RobbyJ on Friday 16th May 14:03
Picked up our tickets/camping passes from the post office today. Just opened the packet and feel like a kid on Christmas day!
Really looking forward to going back after a few years away, especially as it seems like we're gonna get a proper battle for the overall for a change (too many audi benefits during my previous era of going...)
Bring it on!!!!

The car I'm taking is mine, but my wife's daily, due to me having a company car. She's a Deputy Head at a Primary School. I'm stickering up the weekend before we go. She's got to drive it to work and back on the Monday, maybe the Tuesday too.....Edited by RobbyJ on Friday 16th May 14:03

Same here. I'm busy the weekend before Le Mans, so I guess I'll be stickering up a full fortnight early...
