"Waiting for the chest-burster..."

14 weeks left now and counting.

Is it just me or should my other half have stopped being sick by now? Well, it seems that it's perfectly normal even if I am helpless to watch and have to look away in case it causes the same reaction in me.

I'm sure I'm having sympathy pains as well. It's either that or I have something wrong with me (actually, I think I do, which is why I'm visiting the doctor yet again tomorrow, though stomach problems just make me fear where he will need to look...)

I'm also growing aware of the number of baby magazines and catalogues that are available, mostly because they all seem to be available in our living room. We don't even know the sex yet, so how we get to buy clothes is a mystery, I guess it's just nappies and baby-grows to start off with.

So, 14 weeks and then I won't have a chance to touch a console, at least I can still (just about) get away with using the net at work. Still it's all alien territory to me, which brings us right back to the title again.

At 6 months pregnant it's a bit late for those kinds of questions

*boom-tshh*

Tch that made me laugh.

I must be tired.

Is this your first?

There's a big clue.

No idea about the sickie bit but this happened to a friend of mine and he still hasn't got back into gaming. His daughter is four and he now has another on the way.

What you need is some kind of small rocking cradle so that when they get you up in the middle of the night you can do the feeding / changing bit and then rock them gentle with your foot ergo leaving your hands free for a gamepad.

Works well in theory :)

I've got a three year old nephew, not quite the same thing, but I just give him the second controller then play Zelda. I got the idea from Meka.

A friend of mine has a daughter that is pretty good at Sonic games, better than me in fact! Maybe I'll educate them in gaming, but my wife has other ideas...

you need a handheld console, you'll have to take advantage of every spare second you get!
