This week I have been removed from the “at risk” category at work. It really is a relief to get it over with but my thoughts are with those that have not had such a positive outcome as myself. To those guys I say, good luck and best wishes.

When I found out I was to get a new position at the company I work at, I felt a huge sigh of relief. There wasn’t a feeling of success, neither was there any degree of excitement. In fact my first thoughts were of my son. I pictured him in my mind and, now in the knowledge that I don’t have to worry about how I will pay the mortgage to keep a roof over his head, I could raise a smile.

It’s the 14 week mark today in the pregnancy of our second child and with six weeks to wait until the next scan I’m getting excited already. The scan is a great opportunity for Dad to get involved in the pregnancy. It is one of the moments where as a man you can really feel like part of the process.

The big question that will arise at the 20 week scan is whether we will find out the sex of the child. I want to know now let alone waiting for the scan. My wife is of the same mindset too. In all honesty I’m still not overly bothered whether it’s a boy or a girl, either way I’m going to be a very happy man when the little one arrives. I always thought that having a boy and a girl would be my preference but when I see my nephews together I can appreciate the bond that forms between brothers and would, as I have said, not be disappointed if we had another boy.
