New arrival
« on: March 23, 2011, 06:20:34 »
just you let you blokes know, I'm now a daddy!

Baby Noah arrived yesterday afternoon by c-section (bum first of course!) and is doing well. Everything is ship-shape and bristol fashion, and they're even talking of him coming home tomorrow  :clap:

am very proud of my wife - took the operation totally in her stride and we're both over the moon with our little boy

:occasion-balloons:  Congratulations  :occasion-balloons:  I hope the sprog & Ma are doing well, and I think you deserve a drink !

P.S. I'd be worried about your Doctor if he started a C section at the bum...  :neen:

Congratulations to all three of you !   :occasion-balloons:  :occasion-balloons:  :occasion-balloons:

Now, having seen a few blokes lucky enough to experience becoming fathers, my one and only piece of advice:

Don't sell the bike!




PS. I've always loved the phrase "ship-shape and Bristol-fashion!"

thanks everyone, just back from the hospital again, I don't know how she's coping so well with so little sleep - I'm knackered and I'm getting a night's sleep!

Congrat's on the birth of your new son. 2 of my girls came out through sun roof fashion and my youngest was natural. Birth is amazing. Oh make the most of a full nights sleep coz that will change. Enjoy  :clap:

Congratulations to you both. I've oftern wondered what a sidecar would be like on a V-Strom - a nice lightweight Merlin perhaps?!!

ruth's managed some sleep over night which is more than she managed on her first night. you'll be glad to hear he pooped like a trooper yesterday, but behaved impeccably for his grandparents:



to confirm, the strom is not getting sold and it's definitely not getting a sidecar on it.. what's the point of a bike you can't lean in the twisties  :crazy:  :grin:

Huge congratulation to you all Jon.

He looks gorgeous, and contented.

My son arrived the same way 5 yrs ago, and for the first 18mths or so, we got one-disturbed sleeps every night(probably due to the medication he was on!!  :grin: ), then it all changed. Even now, he's through wanting into our bed at 1:30, 3:30 and then 5:30am. Can't remember the last time we had a good night sleep.
Its all good though, he is the best gadget we've ever had!

Wish we could produce no.2!! :shy:

Best wishes,
Al.

Unfortunately, they grow up and start to hide in their bedrooms and disown you.
Enjoy the moment.
All the best.
