So I met my foetus yesterday for the first time.
As you may or may not be able to see from the photo “it” looks a bit like a cross between ET & Skeletor and has already developed David Healey legs after “it’s” father. We’ve known about our arrival since late August and it’s such a relief to be able to share the excitement with other people now.
Once again I can’t help, but turn to that marvellous Psalm, number 139, where David is praying to his all-seeing, all-powerful and everywhere-present Creator. That God is already at work in the life of our child.
“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully & wonderfully made” (v13).
I already know my greatest delight for Johnny or Annie Junior. It’s to see them grow to love and follow God with all their heart, soul, mind and strength.
I appreciate there’s a long way to go before their arrival in this world (never mind the hard work of adapting my life to sleepless nights and dirty nappies), but two things I am sure off…
1. God is good.
2. Newcastle will have another supporter by the end of the season.

May I be the first to congratulate you en blog!
Your child's father is David Healy??? I am confused... Congratulations to you both- great news!
I can't believe you want him to support Newcastle. At least give the child a couple of glorious years with the Pool before having him have an enduring torment with the Toon!
Have been meaning to leave my congratulations for a while, sorry to hear your gonna inflict your poor child with the pain of supporting the toon, but i'm sure they'll grow outta it!!
God bless, Colin

supporting the toon army is a great way to develop backbone, an ability to shrug off abuse and learning how to celebrate small victories (rather than winning major silverwear!!!)
