Yeah - you'd be amazed. It's really incredibly exciting. I know that sounds daft but it is.

Last year I was in hospital after having my gallbladder out (incidentally on the same date as my bub is due - seems to be the date for having things extracted from your abdomen) and I occupied myself in there watching the Tour.

The Chesboy is a cyclist and triathlete, so he's been able to explain to me the way it all works, the ins and outs, the rules, the competition, the strategy. It's truly amazing. I LOVE it. We get a little bit of post-Tour depression when it's over!!

I also love tennis though. The AO was really exciting this year.

No wonder the Chesboy likes cycling then, he must be fit, then. So does he look good in Lycra?

I love tennis, although I can't play the game to save my life. I love watching it though. I loved watching that new Aussie girl, Casey wtihtheweirdlastname, she was good.

Fave player would have to be Lindsay Davenport, even though she played like (*)(*)(*)(*) this year...as for Roger Federer...well, I am probably the only person on the planet who cannot stand this guy...

No, you're not. We don't like Roger much either. Booooooring - and arrogant, too. Did you know his wife sleeps on the floor in their hotel rooms when he is on tour? I'm not making this up - he said it himself, in a little package about his traveling habits. That is just disgraceful. That is WAY worse than reading a book through an antenatal class!

LOVED Casey - she was mint.

And LOVE Djokovic and LOVE the french guy, too, who were in the final. What a game of tennis!

And yeah, the boy looks good in lycra - and he has lots of it. I may be the only woman on the planet who finds that sexy.

The only problem is, he's not very soft. Just all hard muscle and angles. Makes it difficult to cuddle on the couch

I agree about Roger being arrogant, he is way too big for his racket, that one, and I can't wait until he loses his 15 or whatever it is winning streak.

(*)(*)(*)(*) that Sharapova, though...you have to watch her with the sound turned down...

Glad the Chesboy looks good in lycra, but too much lycra is not necessarily a good thing...

Yes, that's right. This guy read a book the WHOLE class. In fact, even had to angle it more carefully when the lights went off for the video so he could still see the pages. The midwife after a while said to him, `So, Gary, any questions?'. He looked up, said `Nope' and went back to his story!

So you’re having a baby. First off, congratulations.

I personally find this a bit rude, but that's just me. Does he plan on going with you the next time?

I always enjoyed those classes because I knew that every woman in the room put out.

Oh goodness! This wasn't my husband! My boy would never be so rude - not in any situation. He was raised better than that.

Not only that, he's thoroughly enjoying these classes. He loves everything to do with our little bubby and he had I have a very special, wonderful relationship so we feel very fortunate. We do most things together.

Ok, I thought you were talking about your husband.

So who was acting this way?

My bad. Just like C-D-P, I thought you were referring to your husband.
