I'm gonna' be a Dad!

[Fowlers God]

The wife and I take it in turns at the weekend, so one gets a lie-in on the Saturday, the other one on the Sunday.

 

I'm still normally up by 8.30am on my lie-in morning however, unless I've been out on the piss the night before.

 

Which is another increasingly rare occurrence once a sprog arrives...

We do the same, however its surprising how often I do both days.

[Carradona]

My body clock is weird in the sense that I pretty much waken up between 8.45am-9am every single day, regardless of what time I get to bed. I allow myself to stay in bed until about 10am on a Saturday and Sunday but I'm not one who likes to laze around in bed all morning. 

Cheers for all the well wishes. I genuinely wish it would all just hurry up and happen tomorrow so I could meet my new best friend!

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Respect due.

 

What you gonna call him?

Let the Forum decide.

 

How about Warbastard II ?

[rondeco]

You need a licence to have a dog... Says it all! Congrats Cain. First ever forumite I met!

[Remmie]

Good Luck.

 

PS, I have a wicked baby name book I could post you!

What did you call your kids again?

[Rico1304]

Congrats

[General Dryness]

What did you call your kids again?

 

Wasn't it Domestos and Pythagoras Theorem?

I genuinely wish it would all just hurry up and happen tomorrow so I could meet my new best friend!

 

Don't wish time away, mate.

Enjoy the anticipation and expectation too.

[s(k)aturation]

But the hardest part is having to elbow my bird in the ribs to get up and do the night feed.

 

Is she Barry McGuigan?

[stringvest]

Blimey Cain.  Congratultions!  

[Stu Monty]

[Trumo]

I feel for the poor unfortunate soul who harvested your essence. Congratulations to you both!

[Strontium]

+13 rep for the announcement already! It's almost worth getting your bird up the duff for that!

 

Congratulations and good luck.

*guffaw*...ahem......*exhales slowly*

 

Sorry, that just got me.

 

I genuinely hope everything goes well mate, still a long time to go and never take anything for granted, you are blessed to have the chance to be a father.

 

My biggest and best piece of advice between now and February is to watch tons of films with your missus at night, undisturbed, and go out and get bladdered and have her make you a fry-up the next day, oh, and go on a short holiday somewhere fucking nice as well.  Because your habits will soon be incredibly hard to keep up, and your ability to say 'shall we just do something/go somewhere' will vanish overnight in February 2014.

 

Game changer.  Lovely, beautiful, cuddly, precious game changer.  ^_^

[Carradona]

Thanks for the advice. I'm currently trying to get through some of the TV shows I have wanted to watch because I've been told that I'll not get seeing them ever again!!

[Karl_b]

Terrifying and fantastic when the forum youngsters steal a march on being a grown up! Congrats to you both mate, brilliant news.

[Joe Le Taxi]

So it works then?

 

Congrats mate

[Alan Sex]

Congrats. Goodbye sex life, sleep, eating anything that you can't microwave in 2 mins or less, etc etc.

 

Being a dad is the greatest thing ever, so you learn to ignore that stuff. Especially when the little buggers give a giggle or a smile just for you.

 

Then again, I have a 14 yr old daughter, a just turned 4 yr old daughter, a 2 yr old daughter and a son who is almost 8 months. Finally got a proper one after failing the first 3 tries so I can stop now.

 

I'm 43 but have probably aged 20 years in the last 4!

[Woo]

The lad didn't know how to make scrambled eggs until he was 20, how on earth he's going to be able to look after another human life-form is a truly frightening thought.

 

The world's fucked.

[RoboRiise]

Congratulations Cain, welcome to the end of your life.

[Woo]

Best thing about this thread? Seeing RoboRiise back in the house!!!

[Stouffer]

Been up most of the night with my youngest who has a fever. Can't wait to get to work for a nice kip then a long session on the Playstation.

 

 

[Gym Beglin]

That's the worst, watching your small 'un with a bad fever.

 

Fucking hate it when they're ill, worry, Christ, not the word for it.

When they're well and draining the life out of you you wish they'd just slow down for a minute and then when they do when they're sick its just the worst
