No joke, it's finally here!

It’s finally time for the first booster blog of 2015, why the delay you may ask and the answer is quite simple.

Daddy’s fault.

That, apparently is the new 42 - the answer to everything.  It could probably solve chaos theory though I suspect Ryan is responsible for 90% of that in our house, and would only be stumped by the inadequacies of the ACA.  That’s right, a plan to make things more affordable sees families in a position where they need to find $2,000 or more in the first two months of the year... flawed? Oh yeah.

Anyway, moving on Ryan would like to announce some news and this is fundamentally the reason for the wide gap between entries.  He’s going to be a big brother!  After lots of pain & frustration, not to mention some serious financial outlay it turns out all we needed was time.  We’ve left it till now for a formal mention despite knowing since before Christmas because, well you all should be able to work out why. 

So, everything looks good & we’ve had some early genetic testing done which has put us in a position where we know a lot more about Baby 3 than we would normally, this has allowed Jessica to be her usual cunning self and set up a baby hunch pool.  So far we’ve had a lot of entrants and everyone is either right or wrong, time will tell. 

Jessica refused to put in my option of saying “50% ENGLISH” which was rude but made me think we’ll do a sneaky DNA test just to check for awesomeness!

Other than that, right now I’m staring out an impending snowstorm, which tops off the fact it’s colder than a reception from my ex-mother in law, previously when I saw a temp of 10 it’s really ok, now I’m seeing 1 0r 2 and thinking this is when Capt Oates said he was “going outside” - (Not true I know, but bloody Florida was bitching cos it was 40 so if they can exaggerate, so can I!)

Ryan continues to progress with speech, when he concentrates, the same as swimming though he’s finding it hard to trust now that he sometimes goes out of his depth - it’ll come, just needs time.

Well obviously nothing else matters till August, but we’ll keep in touch and shortly may have more interesting information.

Be good, and wrap up.

J, J, R & B3.
