Right, it's 3:15 on Thursday afternoon, my wife has been feeling quite ill this morning, feverish, vomiting and severe backache for a few days.
Thing is, I was ill last week for the whole week with some form of flu which included vomiting and high fever. We just panicked and thought she'd caught something from me, but after a few casual phone calls to friends we've come to the conclusion that this is normal.
At the moment, she's laying in bed after having a quick walk to the shops and back.
I never knew it would be like this, I thought it would all just suddenly happen and she'd start having contractions. So at the moment I feel like I'm in a state of limbo just waiting for something else to happen, and while I'm waiting I'm trying to do my best to make her feel comfortable. It's actually quite scary not knowing what to expect. I've got five nieces, a few friends with children and have been to antenatal classes too, but it just doesn't prepare you at all.
Not for this bit anyway.

Hey mate, it's particularly hard for the bloke as you don't quite know what to do...when Aysu woke up saying "I think my waters broke" I said, "go back to bed, we have time". We didn't, we had a baby by lunchtime. Courses and advice are useless as every case and every baby is different. You only learn by doing, that's what I found out...
