Pregnant pauses

Life is different when you are pregnant. Or when your wife is.

Middle Eastern restaurants are suddenly demoted because feta cheese is off limits. You start looking at other peoples' pram models rather than them, when you're out on the street. And, when you call the parents, they always uniformly seem that much more cheerful.

Advice is, of course, in plenty. From Here to Paternity is a must-read for all guys. Ideal loo-time reading without complicated terms and scary disaster scenarios.

On the other hand, Your Pregnancy Bible, has this cautionary message on the subject of travelling by car during pregnancy:

Not wearing [seat] restraints clearly poses a greater risk; studies show that the leading cause of fetal death in traffic accidents is the death of the mother.

Who knew.

Return of the Bun

Jesus took 3 days.

Bun-Omlette has taken somewhat longer.

But it is, nevertheless, back. Leaner and meaner, with new stories from new lands.

Mind it.
