Early on in the pregnancy, we bought a yoga DVD specifically designed for mums-to-be. Today, ten weeks later, we finally opened it and tried out this rather bizarre practice. The thing is, we didn’t really take it seriously, and if you do that then you’re destined to fail, as well as screwing up your alternate nostril [...]

How the heck is it only sixteen weeks? It feels like Jess has been pregnant for decades. Her bump is now a proper pregnancy bump, but that doesn’t stop her worrying about muffin tops, bat wings or turkey neck because well, let’s face it, she’s a woman; and the only women who don’t fret on [...]

I’ve just stepped out of the shower, and watched as my wife is visibly repulsed by me. Disheartening for any man, but fortunately she isn’t revolted by my body – and, of course, there’s no reason why she would be. Instead, her continued super-sense of smell has picked up the tiniest whiff of shower gel [...]

What a week. We’ve had nose bleeds, torn muscles, exhaustion, diarrhoea.

We moved house yesterday, which meant flexing my puny muscles and putting them through more grief than they’ve ever known [...]
