    I've not been on here much for several months.

    Before I spend the next few days catching up with the numerous private messages and any interesting topics, I thought I'd explain what's been happening.

    In the spring my wife (who is approaching her mid-30s; quite a bit younger than me) got pregnant but miscarried in the first trimester - the miscarriage began on her birthday; mother nature has a cruel sense of humour sometimes.

    My wife got pregnant again in the summer, but during the first trimester was literally bed-ridden, often afraid to move due to bad morning sickness ("all-day sickness") - at times it was bad enough that I thought she'd end up having a short stay in hospital.

    My wife will soon be in the third trimester, and everything seems fine at the moment - her sickness has gone, she's feeling fine, all blood tests have come back normal and the baby has had the usual 12 and 20 week scans and everything is fine (fingers crossed).

    It's a boy; due date has been estimated as early April 2014.

    Cheers,
    F

                            My wife quite likes the name "Alexander" - and by pure coincidence I have a young MM111 Emperor Alexander ready for planting out.

                              My grandfather was an Alexander and a very eminent gentleman he was. A fine choice.
