If My Life Was A Film It Would Be…..

The first present Mr Eeh Bah ever bought me was a GPS running watch, a gift that sends two messages: 1. Do some exercise tubby and 2. I’m going to track your every movement.

Neither of these are particularly romantic messages.

We have been together for 6 years, have 2 wonderful children and are currently disengaged (he proposed, I said yes, we bought a ring, he changed his mind).

Suffice to say Nora Ephron will not be making a film about our relationship any time soon (and not just because she’s dead).

Despite all this for some inexplicable reason I thought falling pregnant would be our big romantic moment.

I blame Hollywood.

I thought that finding out I was pregnant would go something like this:

Scene One:

It is morning Eeh Bah Mum (Jennifer Aniston) is struggling to fasten her           jeans.

Eeh Bah Mum:       Ey up ah think ah’ve shrunk me jeans luv.

(Said in a perfect Yorkshire accent, not like Anne Hathaways in One Day.)

Mr Eeh Bah (Daniel Craig) continues rubbing his naked torso with oil.

Cut To: Later that day Eeh Bah Mum (if Jennifer is not available can we get Cameron Diaz?) is walking past a hot dog cart ( in Yorkshire?) when she starts to feel unwell. She dashes to a bin and vomits glamorously.

Cut To:  That evening Eeh Bah Mum is snuggled up with Mr Eeh Bah ( Daniel Craig, still topless) on sofa choosing takeaway (Gail from of off Corrie is definitely interested).

As Mr Eeh Bah/ Daniel Craig phones through Eeh Bah Mum’s order for anchovy and banana pizza the penny drops.

Mr Eeh Bah:     Are you pregnant?

Camera pans down to reveal he is not wearing any trousers.

Scene Two:

Mr and Mrs Eeh Bah are waiting for pregnancy test to display results. Daniel Craig has now run out of oil and clothes…. (do we know what certificate this film is going to be?).

Cut To: Friends and family are gathered for summer garden party Ben Stiller is manning the barbecue, Vince Vaughn is handing out beers.

Mr & Mrs Eeh Bah call party to attention and announce that they are going to have a baby. Cheers, back slapping, corks popping.

The End

So did my Hollywood dream come true? Er not exactly.

In fact I have to hand it to the film industry they have done a fantastic job transforming an event which involves pacing nervously around a cup of your own still warm piss into something magical.

We didn’t totally miss out on the drama though with a hit rate of 7 pregnancies for 2 children there were plenty of tense moments.

The whole finding out we were pregnant thing became more of an ordeal than anything else. In film terms we’d be The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey  rather than a romantic comedy (Mr Eeh Bah could be Richard Armitage so it’s not all bad news).

This week has been a big one for the Eeh Bah household. Our daughter started nursery and our son turns one.

Not quite the stuff of Hollywood but enough excitement for me.

So what would your life be?
