Hello, my name is Jake, I am looking forward to the next month, it's going to be huge for my family and I.
Now I have been keeping something very quiet as I didn't really know how to write this or how people would react to it, but here goes. My wife and I are expecting our first child. The due date is 30th of November but could be before or after that date. This has caused me to have fits, which sounds like I'm just stressed but it's important to remember that they can be caused by moments of happiness. Now I will be very blunt and say I am very nervous about it because of the fits and blackouts, but with the support of my wife and family I know I am going to be ok.
We can’t wait to meet him or her as we don’t know what we are having yet and that surprise will make it extra special. I do plan to write a blog about how we get on and how I navigate being a dad with N.E.A.D. Also I will write about how successful the little tricks and tips I have learned are and how well I mange to keep myself grounded and hopefully have more control over the fits. But I will leave you with the last scan and the next blog I write will hopefully be about life N.E.A.D and our little one.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and I will be back again soon,
Jake
