Sharon’s Pregnant

It’s not everyday that one returns home from a weekend of fly fishing only to be given life changing news. Yet that’s what happened to me when I walked through the door from a trip to the Underberg region.

Sharon was looking a little nervous but I immediately put it down to the fact that she’d painted the pillars in the house a new colour without my consent. And not only that…they were slightly patchy. But any thoughts of the pillars were quickly removed from my mind when I was led through to the bedroom to be shown the newest member of the Prior family, a blue line.

Words cannot describe the feeling I got when she showed me. Suddenly the 3kg trout I’d landed was less important. Well, slightly less. Funnily her immediate reaction to telling me was concern over what I was thinking. And this after we had made the decision to start trying upon return from the honeymoon. In a cliché sort of way it was like an early Christmas present…PURE JOY!
