For some, this is fantastic news and caps off months, even years, of \"trying\". For others, this is the news they dread. They have big plans for their life, and it certainly doesn't involve kids (at least not for the next few years). I was given the unexpected news that I was to become a father on my 24th birthday (what a present!). My reaction was that of the person filled with dread - this was not what I wanted! Have you ever looked back on your younger self and shook your head at what you once considered to be fun? Most of us have, and I make this point because it proves one thing: our idea of what constitutes fun can change. I live a quieter life now that I am a parent, but it is no less enjoyable. I still have a lot of fun, and it is now filled with a richness that only a parent can truly understand."}
