Very little bloggage last few weeks, since most of my time was spent in Dublin, my home town, working for a large bank – no doubt a major contributor to the large scale rape of the third world. (poor joke, this stems from a discussion I had with a relative about BIG BUSINESS).

Now I’m back in the UK, I don’t see myself travelling anywhere for a few weeks – the next little connolly is about to pop out – estimated date of arrival is the 25th, around noon or so. We’re fairly sure about the date and time, since we’re having one of those maligned caesarian sections, you know the ones that you shouldn’t have, since ‘natural’ kiddie birth is the new black? (See Gwyneth Paltrow’s teachings). Sod natural, Luke was a natural birth and that was 27 hours of labour followed by a forceps and plunger delivery complete with something close to female circumcision, some infection that couldn’t be cured by antibiotics or prayer, 15+ health professionals and a family that was is total shock for about 6 months.

This time around, it’ll be different I’m sure. We’re more prepared now that we were first time around, but to counter that, the NHS has gone a little more downhill – we’re probably about evens now. I’m sure that it’ll all go so well we can pause to thank those health professionals that came before us to make the system what it is……..

We’ll see. Still don’t know the gender, but I’ve registered the markconnolly.co.uk domain name just in case. If it’s a girlie, we’re hosed…
