Two down, three to go...

That's two out of the five NCT couples who've dropped so far. We're still waiting, although the due date draws ever nearer, and the missus still believes that she'll conform to the tradition of her family and deliver early.

So it could be any time from the next couple of hours right through to the end of September. I really hope it's sooner rather than later - I can't stand the sense of powerlessness over proceedings, nor the seemingly random nature of these things.

We're starting on the pineapple, raspberry leaf teas, hot curries etc etc and will see what happens.

I just want to hold the little fella, to know that it finally is reality and my new role as a dad is underway properly. Naturally the missus is super uncomfortable, so she just wants to get something approaching her body back. Understandable.

The size issues appear to have receded - scans show that he's normal apart from long legs (just like his dad had when he was born) so no early induction or any of that nonsense.

Just counting the hours/days/minutes.....
