PH Parents of 2015
Discussion
Well, couldn't find a thread for this, so here we are.
Mrs C is expecting our 2nd child in April 2015. A bit of a shock, but exciting news. Charles is now almost 2 so will have a little brother or sister to play with! HOWEVER, at 43, I really am too old for this. Mrs C is the same age (or will be at time of birth) and is feeling it already. Constantly feeling sick, but exhausted all the time. Luckily we have a live-in maid who adores Charles so that will help out no end. On the other side of the coin, we don't have any family around and also work long hours.
Also, the risks are that much higher due to our age, so we have to monitor that closely. Worryingly, we both have different opinions as to whether to proceed if there are serious problems...but that's another post I guess.
A bit pissed off that we gave most of our baby stuff away! best get buying again.
So, anyone else from the "Parents of 2012" made progress on further offspring??!!

Time flies when you have a little 'un doesn't it? They are both adorable and infuriating at the same time.
Crack on then....the clock is a ticking!
Interesting!
Our first has been the perfect child up to now, although I'm sure everyone thinks that! He's slept for 12 hours a night since day 1, we've had to wake him up formilk, but then he's asleep again before he'd finish. I could start hoovering in his room right now and I doubt ned stir! No, he's not deaf!
The Ms really isn't coping with this pregnancy though....so I'll, tired and if she's not crying, she's shouting. Still, only 6 months left.
We're lucky that we have a live-in maid and she adores the boy. She was his old nursery assistant so they get on very well, so she takes care of all the housework and gets all his gear ready for nursery and his food etc. she'll probably resign when the new one co es along!
Off to Hamleys tomorrow for his g'day presents...I can't wait!
Cheers and good luck to all.

Wel that's what I thought! But 36 hours in the hospital, one normal attempt at labour, one induction and a C section and I've finally got a little boy! All 8lbs 14oz of him......from a size 8 woman.
Excellent news, congratulations.Damn...that a big baby!!!
A couple of weeks to go for us.....mrs c has long since had enough now, and wants rid!
Re the worrying bit, we are exactly the same. Charles is 2 1/2 now and we still check that he's breathing every night. The way he runs and climbs everywhere, it's a miracle he hasn't smashed himself up more.

Yep. Sorry guys, been a long couple of days/nights. Tuesday night went in for a caeserian section in the end due to little man being in a bit of distress. All is well at the moment, just on antibiotics and awaiting another check up to see how they're going. Hopefully if all is good, he can come home once the wife is ready to leave.
And here's Chase
Beautiful little fella mate, many congrats!!!And here's Chase
