After telling Mum I had to wait a bit before I could get the gumption back up to tell Dad. I would have liked to drive down and do it in person but it wasn’t to be.

I wasn’t too worried about it, really. I thought the news would be well received and was delighted with his reply to, “you’re going to be a grandad again… by me!” I imagined him dancing a little jig in the kitchen and telling all the lads down the club about the news.

Dad’s wife was thrilled to bits and we had a chat about all the important things (weeks, moving in, boy/girl, etc) – things that I was only just learning about how important they are now!

It’s great fun telling people the news, I’m really surprised how much excitement it generates, in me and others!
