Well, the news is out, and yes the rumours are true. Rupert will soon be a big brother, as Jess and I are having another baby. We found out our latest magical news way back in September when Jess and Ru video called me. I was at work and ducked into a meeting room (not full of people) and I thought I was in for a nice chat with my wife and son. Then Jess flipped the camera to the positive pregnancy test and boom, say hello to baby number two. In true clichéd fashion I was los

Jess and I are having a baby! That’s right, today we went for our 12 week scan and saw our little prince or princess for the first time and it was absolutely magical.
