Becoming a dad for the first time

[RJ Fan club]

Well I started this thread.

 

Baby Redheart is due the first week in February. It is a little boy.

 

We had a 4D scan done and it was amazing to see his litle face. He looks just like me the lucky handsome devil. I cannot wait.

 

On a related note has anyone else turned into a pussy during their wife's pregnancy?

 

Thinks effect me more now and upset me more.

 

For example watchingh Interstellar effected me more than it would have done before.

I've not turned into a pussy yet, but I the sentimental arl get lurking beneath is surfacing for sure.

My daughter did her first piss in a potty this morning.  All the clichés about them growing up fast, etc etc

[Scott_M]

I've got it all to come on the 1st July...

[Clem H Fandango]

 

At nearly 3 months (time does fly) these little smiles and giggles make it seem all worthwhile whilst getting drenched in shit,piss and vomit.

Lot of Danny Murphy lookalikes on this thread.

I love babies, me.  No, not in that way you tiresome twats.

You mean you couldn't eat a whole one?

I probably could, but just like my accordion playing, I choose not to do so.

Mines due 15th April. What a fucking date of all dates.

[Magic Sponge]

My 2 week old son stares at me in a way that makes me look away.

 

One serious fucker.

[Paulie Dangerously]

Almost 6 months for mine. She's a total leg. Just starting baby led weaning now. Tell you what chaps she did her first shit that smelt of actual shit yesterday. Between the baulking I was deeply proud.

I recently became a first time father. Can't begin to describe just how much it changes you, and for the better.

[Furmedge]

 

That's my two. The three year old is a pain in the arse, the 8 month old is boss.

 

Edit - That's not f**tball in the background, its erm, Celebrity Kabadi.

You will be broke for the rest of your life.

It will be worth every penny.

How many puppies were in the litter?

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Mine is 12. Years. Not quite as cute, eats like a horse, pisses like one too, but costs a lot more to look after.

You will give them away when they are teenagers - attitude, know fucking everything about everything, think you are their personal ATM card etc. etc.

Still love the 3 little shits though.

 

We had a great evening over Christmas looking at videos of when they were young - folks it's well worth the effort - and you get a chance of a little payback.

Sounds like my fucking 2 year old!

 

Number 2 is 2 months old and has decided that she should stay up until midnight then still be waking up twice a night for feeds (her sister was sleeping through the night at 6 weeks old). My wife goes back to work tomorrow and I'm staying at home to look after them, I only have to survive a week before my parents are coming to help out but I'm fucking dreading it...even with 2 of us running around we don't seem to have enough hands to cope. I'm fucked.

Do a diary on here like stevebaby. It'll be hilarious. For us.

 

Seriously, you are the boss because if you arent in control when they're this age you never will be.

 

Go to it and dont forget each other

I've already accepted that Champ, I'm going to be living with three women from now on, so I'm fucked. I'm bottom of the food chain, even the bastard cat gets his breakfast before me. I'm fine with it though, my wife is spot on but my 2 year old (or Obergruppenführer as she's known around these parts) is developing some serious dictator tendencies, she's like a 3ft traffic warden. God help number 2 when she's old enough to be ordered about. As long as I've got a big enough tv and beer in the fridge I can deal with the rest.

My lad was born last night (Thursday 5th February) at 22.40. The wee fella weighed it at 7 lbs 6 ounces.

 

I was manly throughout and never cried at all because I am a real manly bastard!

All the best. You are now a family!

 

 

 

 

 

 

And a proper grown up

[Robbo29]

Conrats to you and Mrs Redheart, have to say that I have 4 kids and cried at every birth

[Trumo]

If you'd eaten meat, he'd probably be a pound heavier!

 

Only joking, congrats to you and your missus. All the best.

You should have cried then because you will in a few weeks time when you discover you get little or no nooky anymore :-(
