Becoming a dad for the first time

[Elite]

Congrats mate

[Trumo]

Congrats to you both.

[Greycellgreen]

Many congratulations, looks a bonny little thing.

[lifetime fan]

Well in mate.

[PestiRed]

Congrats. That’s good work that you’ve done

[Remmie]

Brilliant stuff mate, the combination of relief and excitement is next level isn't it?

 

Looks like a ruddy good egg does Joss.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Brilliant feeling, isn’t it.

[Rico1304]

Congratulations best thing that will ever happen to you.

 

Of course I’m sure your natural desire for truth will mean a DNA test is on the cards.

He looks enough like me, although much cuter and less weathered for me to be convinced.

Just that. And fear, I managed to sleep a bit last night without worrying that every breath was him somehow choking!

[Rico1304]

Get him in his own room ASAP.

[Paul]

Get him in his own room ASAP.

Yep. We had ours in their own rooms from the word go and sleep worked far better in our house than that of virtually every other parent we know. You hear them when they need you but aren’t disturbed by every tiny noise. Plus they sleep better too as they get older.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Agreed on the sleep. I was also not a fan of rocking.

[Spy Bee]

They tell you in the hospital now that they need to stay in your room for a minimum of 6 months.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Well, okay. He's not going to be thrilled about it now that he's 15, but if the hospital say...

[Rico1304]

You’ve changed.

 

Our experience was that having Izzy in the room meant we reacted to every little snuffle and sigh. Fucked our and her sleep up. Got her in her room after speaking to a mate and it was the best thing we did. Can still hear crying but not every move.

[lifetime fan]

Fucks the sex life up too!

[Remmie]

They tell you in the hospital now that they need to stay in your room for a minimum of 6 months.

They told us 3 months I think but after about 2 we gave her her own room and had a baby monitor. Another benefit of doing this way is one of you can soothe them back to sleep while the other one rests.

[Paul]

They tell you in the hospital now that they need to stay in your room for a minimum of 6 months.

 

Yep. They tell you all sorts like it's the most definitive, life or death information ever. And then it changes a few months later and that becomes definitive. For example, it went from 3 months to six months on solids between our two and both were fine doing to the same way (3/4 months).

We didnt and it was rubbish. I didn't make the same mistake with No2

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Handsome bastard!

 

Great stuff mate.

 

May I be the first to say Never heard of the cunt/He can rot in the reserves/ He can go in the summer/etc.

[Remmie]

Haven't seen Yara in 3 weeks as she's been in Ukraine with my wife and in laws for the summer, on my way to see them without sleep after a nightshift. So excited about seeing her again, 3 weeks is a long time in baby development.

3 weeks? Wow! I can't begin to think what that would have been like. I've yet to be apart from my daughter for that long...and she's 19!

 

And repped...not just for the gummy smile but for dressing her in clothes that she can explore the world in

[Spy Bee]

One his one week birthday he had his first poo since shitting on his mum when he was very first born. Although the clinicians said it wasn't a concern, oh how we rejoiced when we found a turd in his nappy!
