If you missed my post about how I found out I was pregnant then quickly head back to part one before you read about how it turned out! I literally couldn’t have predicted his reaction. He asked me if I was joking and I said no. Considering I’d actually played a joke on him a couple

It’s sometimes bad enough going down the road with a baby in the car, so how would you fancy a nice long car journey with one? We’re talking around 15+ hours here… no? Thought you might say that. Let me tell you, it’s easier than you think. After recently getting back from the annual skiing
