78 days feels like a lifetime when you're missing something

Being a mother of three children, the final stages of my pregnancies were always the longest and the most painful .. That's how I would compare the next 78 days until round 1.. Agonising xxx

Good analogy. Each season is like waiting for a kid to pop.

Agree 78 days feels like way too far. It is 7 weeks today to our first NAB challenge match and first look at a few of our recruits. Counting down the days....

[Eastdog]

Yep it is still a while away. Really looking forward to the NAB Challenge matches and then the upcoming season. As PP said I too look forward to seeing our new recruits in action along along with our developing youngsters.

Our second child is due in early April so it's a double up of anticipation here. Although dealing with one crazy toddler is enough of a handful, I can wait to add a baby into the mix.

How many years between children will it be?

It's fun... Sometimes.

And yes rd 1 seems so far off, but I'm sure it will come by quickly, especially when training ramps up.

Number 1 will be 2.5 and will at least possess some level of independence. I don't know how parents who only have a 12 month gap between kids do it!

There are advantages though. My brother and his wife have 6 kids, spread over 21 years - sometimes I just laugh at him, mostly I sympathise. I'm happy with just the 2, born 2 years apart to the day.

Cheers guys. I have two that are three years apart to the day before. My baby boy got a baby sister for his third birthday.

Big joint birthday parties I take it :)

Some years. Not really big on birthdays.

The joint. It's where PP and I first met.

Wow that's what happened to my brother and me. I was his second birthday present. It impacted my whole life. Just like our first premiership in our living memory will. We are going to have to wait before we give birth to that one. Most of the other clubs have had quick caesars after test tube conceptions from overpaid stud fathers.

That's amazing BIDS54. My 2 boys are very close, even by normal brotherly standards - like twins even though they are 2 years apart (the younger one is physically bigger, they often get mistaken for twins. To top it off, they were born in early June - Gemini!). I am aware that having the same birthday has had an impact on them but it's hard to fully get it unless you are directly affected.

It's been a terrible summer cricket wise, I think that's made an impact in wanting some sort of competition.

Yep, it's a weird one all right. My two kids are particularly close as well. My son is a real "big brother" type brother and my daughter dotes on him. But boy can they argue.

Mm. Tennis and the Grand Prix (especially the GP) are the things I impatiently wait to finish knowing that the footy isn't far off when those are over.

I've already watched The Ride four times since Christmas Day.
