i'm gonna be a dad!!!!!!

[MoFunthanmost]

Some of you already know, but we just hit 12weeks! only 28 to go now!

Mother and baby left NZ Tuesday and have just arrived in Scotland today to be with Grandma. I'll be leaving for the UK in May (hopefully earlier, need to sort Visa and $$$) and seeing what this whole fatherhood thing is like....

Any advice?

Also means I'll be selling the bike, and starting the licence process again in the UK. Anyone interested, give me a PM (shameless plugg I know - but it's for a good cause!)

Will be organising a piss up before I go, so keep an eye out for the post.


have attached a pic of "lil' Welly" as Katie calls the spud.

Any advice?

Awesome, congrads.

Advice.... enjoy the last full nights of sleep you are probably ever going to have.
If the baby is a boy remember boys only need 3 things.
A mission, (jobs, tasks, responsibilities)
Rules,
And the knowledge the rules will be enforced fairly.

If your baby is a girl, Buy a shot gun now, you will end up needing it to threaten boys in her future.

But in the mean time, tell your wife the first time she asks you to change a nappy that you will do the next one. And when she asks at the next nappy change, say, oh, I meant the next baby.....

welcome to the club, I got four, mmmmm

[riffer]

Yeah, four for me too.

Funny how that happens. One day, carefree happy and with money in the pocket.

The next - you feel like Al Bundy.

Oh well, I've still got most of my hair. Pity its falling off my head and landing on my back.

Kids are fun (mostly), and hard work.

Advice - just remember:

1. It's supposed to be a challenge. Look at what you are raising.
2. You are supposed to be broke. This helps you realise a) how good you had it; and b) how good it will be when they leave.
3. Kids will say "I love you" and "I hate you" in equal quantities - even before they start to speak. Don't take it to heart.
4. Don't sweat the small stuff.
5. And whatever else - be understanding - you thought you were wrong a lot before - wait until after the sprog's born.

Enjoy fatherhood.

Congrats! as a new Grandad, I got a scan of our Grandson, too. I said to my daughter when I held little Aston for the first time, "It was only yesterday it sems I was holding you in my arms!" She's 26 now and a new Mum! Time flies way too fast! You be sure to find as much enjoyment as you both can in the birth of your little one! It goes by real quick, even though it seems to take forever to arrive!
