    Yesterday, I met a friend for a walk and then, we got a takeaway cup of tea from a local PUB and actually sat outside....at a patio table...in the sunshine and had ALL the chats....It was almost like old times :D:D:D

    Then we took the kids on an afternoon out and got drowned...nature's way of keeping me grounded :P

    So I’ve been keeping a secret….


    For the past 3 years myself and Mrs Loughc have been trying very hard to have a baby. We’ve unfortunately had to go through 2 full rounds of IVF and 2 embryo transfers later I can proudly now say we are 3 months pregnant.

    The best part of all this our baby is currently due Christmas Eve. Could not be a more perfect Christmas present.

    Someone up there is pulling for us :D

    This has made Christmas for me amazing again. I was went through a phase of disliking Christmas, I was young, broke, was working (and studying) in dunnes storeroom and hated the repeated songs. Becoming a dad/santa made it special again. I am now on my second round of being santa as my eldest is a non believer and my youngest is just getting it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,575 ✭✭✭tscul32


    I've just realised that this Christmas might be my last Santy Christmas. Youngest will turn 10 2 weeks after the big day. So next year will be almost 11 and will probably be past it. All his friends are youngest in their families too so odds are they'll be too knowledgeable.
    That's making me a little non cheerful.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,827 ✭✭✭Jude13


    And put together everything well in advance. Damn john deere tractor nearly killed me (it was actually me not reading the instructions correctly but not what you need on Christmas eve)

    I think DvB will echo this

    Delighted for you both, Loughc and Mrs Loughc !

    Absolutely. Though its almost a ritual that every dad needs to endure (just the once usually).. hours one Christmas morning building what santa left!!

    Never made that mistake again.

    What amazing news to get on a Tuesday morning after a bank holiday.

    I'm absolutely chuffed for both of you. Massive con'grats.

    As others has said, adding kids to the Christmas mix has made it even more special for me over the last few years.

    Pro tip, dont leave assembly of any Santa present till 10pm Christmas eve when you're half cut or you might end up falling asleep in a Wendy house :eek:

    Massive congratulations Loughc and Mrs. Loughc :D:D:D Wonderful wonderful news!

    As someone with a Christmas baby (ours is the day after St. Stephen's Day)...it's super! It's such a lovely time of the year to have a baby (any time is lovely granted), but there is something about cold mornings and snuggling a new baby cosied up in the leaba!

    Congrats LoughC, that is amazing news even more so that you had to work so hard to get here AND that it will be a Christmas babba! :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,424 ✭✭✭Aisling(",)


    Huge congratulations LoughC.
    I hope herself is doing well through the pregnancy!
    You'll have extra magic every Christmas now.

    Dose 1 received today so I'm in neither of those cohorts but I'm in the very happy, and very very tired cohort.

    Lads & ladies, what a day out there... stunning.

    Its Friday, I finish up at 1pm and I'm off to see my beloved Rovers tonight in the flesh & not just via the tinterweb... even going for a pint afterwards... absolute bliss, havent been able to do this since March 2020, so it feels like Christmas has come early for me.

    Oh and not forgetting, my sons GAA team actually get to play a match again for the first time since March 2020 tomorrow... it'll be great to see the kids back out there doing what they've been training for all this time.

    Hope everyone has a great weekend, weather looks like its to be spectacular, especially Sunday!!
