Nah, seriously, we're couldn't be more delighted. It's been a long wait, with some heartbreak along the way. It's been very emotional telling close friends and family - many of whom had given up hope of a wee darcy - especially with the arrival of a dog last year 🙂 We've had a few scans and everything has been going ok. Had a midwife's appointment today and got to hear a strong little heartbeat again. You think you're a cold bastard, then you hear that and turn to mush. Finally got to tell two very important friends on Sunday and we all bloody cried again. 😆
Due date: Christmas Day
So it'll probably be a bit late. Either way it's going to be a busy Christmas & New Year.
My eBay browsing habits have taken rather a curious turn.
Congrats darcy
Congrats!
Awwwwwwwww 🙂
Blimey!
How did that happen ❓
Congrats & best of luck!
woo-woo!
Congratulations.
Superb news, Y Darc!
Now, start a "What tyre for my pram?" thread immediately! 🙂
How did that happen?
Well, Cheesy, in the spring time, when a mummy rabbit and a daddy rabbit love each other very much......
Smashing. Who's is it? 🙂
I can't even begin to fathom what you were doing wrong to be trying for a baby and then expecting a dog instead.
Nonetheless, congrats matey.

Now, this is why I love STW.
Same answer to both...we're not sure.
EDIT: Cougar 😆
Thats excellent news Bravisimo!!! I've always thought you look far too healthy. I look forward to stress and sleeplessness taking their toll, firstly in the form of hair loss 😉
firstly in the form of hair loss
Well, as you know binbins, the grey has already set in.
WTF am I gonna do if I lose my contract as Clooney's hair double?
Well, obviously, it's Mrs Darcys!IHN - Member
Smashing. Who's is it?
As I've said to my wife repeatedly over the years "[i]we know she's your daughter, it's only supposition that she's mine[/i]".
Well done DD. I see a future of bike seats and trailers.
Nice one DubbaD! 😀

Many congratulations to you both! I was in the exact same position this time last year - he was due on Christmas day as well and arrived on the 23rd. You will start eyeing up prams in a way you used to look at Ti frames!!
I'll get a mini Ulster shirt at the ready!
I foresee an increase in facial hair and a slight change of your career trajectory

Munsterman says NO!!!!
congrats. Was going to post jokes about the arrival of the titty fairy but you'll have that area covered with your corporate sponsorship and all 😉
Congrats.
Wombat Jr Jr was due on Christmas day.....arrived Jan 9th 😯
Congratulations.
My son was born last New Years Eve - if you think you cried at telling people wait till you old the little blighter the first time!
Congratulations and welcome to penury.
Munsterman says NO!!!!
thought you might. Ireland it is!
Seriously many many congratulations, its the best time ever!
Seriously many many congratulations, its the best time ever!
Cheers BM. We're really trying our best to enjoy this time. I think mrs Bravissimo will when she stops puking her head off everywhere. Hopefully, just another week of that now.
Really looking forward to our last holiday as a couple in France next week. And then a whole new world for us next year sometime.

Congrats - I'd always assumed you would be sterile/asexual.
*reports grum's post*
>Hopefully, just another week of that now.
fingers crossed for you! Mrs NBT's sister had "morning sickness" the entire time. she filled a flower vase en route from home to the delivery room - and not with flowers, that's just all that was to hand "just in case" as they were leaving the house
I thought the opposite grum. I've always assumed that women could get preggers just from being in the same room as Bravissimo

That's great news. I know someone else who is due on Christmas Day - they too had a long struggle getting pregnant.

For all I know...
so specialguywelshride before christmas then?
shewolf or hewolf?
Congratulations! I'm very happy for you both.
Now, start saving up for all the toys that [s]you[/s] the new baby will need.
congratulations!
as a seasoned father of 6 weeks now I would heartily recommend that you savour the next few months of your current life. your new life will be changed massively, in some good ways and some not so good.
and unless you're a b**tard your life next year will not be your own, but at least you get to share it with someone like you.
(Jesus, I need a drink/ nap)
Cheers brakes.
I'm under no illusions about what next year brings. 😐
And I will do my best to embrace the change instead of letting it get on top of me.
Congratulations 😀 now go and spend some money on yourself and go to bed, cos you won't be able to do either in bit....
Remember when you were 14 and used to **** alot? Well you're going back to those days again as soon as the baby is born 😉
top tip*: dont buy half the shite you think you [i]need[/i] 'cause you won't need it.

Cougar's the father???
I've never been called that before. A mother, on the other hand...
Well done DD.
Just think, you won't have time to ride your bike next year 😉
dont buy half the shite you think you need 'cause you won't need it.
Oh I know...we're making a list and checking it twice.
Then giving it to my sister and mum. 😀
Nah seriously, that's good advice - lots of people have mentioned it, so we'll try to take it easy.
Just think, you won't have time to ride your bike next year
Assuming the wink means you know roughly how much I ride my bike at all. 😳
Welcome to the world of coffee and night riding. Hope Mrs.D has a good pregnancy.
