Make the best of this weekend then, because you'll not be diving for a while...

Great news. If you're really lucky (s)he will be born on the 7th of April - a day all the greats were born on

Its that last sentence thats the problem..

at least you realise that the above is really a 'i'd rather you didnt go' but i'm not going to make a big deal out of it... as opposed to you responding 'you dont mind - thats great, well i'll dive the saturday and monday too'.

good luck to mrs wilbo and your good self - do you know if its a boy or girl??

You have my sympathy.

We'll call back in about 2030 and see if you survived.

Congrats Wilbo

I'm just as excited, cos my first Grandchild is due on April 4th. Can't wait

To true, Scarlett will be one on the 7th, Wilbo forget diving for a while as this is much more enjoyable than anything else going. Good luck Mrs Wilbo.

to be fair you could reason that its Mothers day not Mothers to be day although dont ask me to remove your nuts from your throat or reattatch them.

An understatement.....

Your life will never ever be the same again.

And afterwards, your respect for women will increase even more, you will be astounded that we can walk normally after going through all that.

All the best to you, Mrs Wilbo and mini Wilbo-ette.

How about a baby naming competition?

Have you bought the jamjar of chopped liver yet?

I tried that one - well more flirted with it and then backed out quickly.

Thanks all for your wishes.. I will pass them on to the mothership.
