“There’s only one way out now!” - fatalistic advice from one of Sinead’s work colleagues. With six months gone, Sinead’s starting to sport a lovely bump. She’s here with her workmate who is due two weeks later. She’s bearing up in the way that women do - without drama and self-searching and grand plans. The dad to be is a bit less sane (generally and specifically). In a loving gesture, Sinead bought me a book called “Fatherhood: The Truth” a slightly sardonic glimpse at what’s to come. If you’re a little weak in the stomach and are expecting your first child DO NOT READ THIS BOOK. The description of labor scared me to death. Let’s not even talk about what happens after that.
