Title: What an experience
Post by: skard on January 26, 2014, 10:43:54 am: Not long in from a long night at the hospital, where my brilliant wife gave birth to our gorgeous little boy.

First kid and all that, so a tad giddy now I have done the rounds and find myself home alone for a bit. :drinking:

We're in for our 20 week scan tomorrow morning, so hopefully will find out the sex too.

Did you go down the business end? As I'm staying clear of that sh!t :sick:
Title: Re: What an experience
Post by: skard on January 26, 2014, 07:21:38 pm: The 4D 30 week scan was a good resemblance. Good luck mate, turns out I am not that squeamish but being up top supporting the wife is all us mere blokes are good for!

Post by: skard on January 26, 2014, 08:06:58 pm: Cheers Andy.

So true, it's an emphatic moment.
Title: Re: What an experience
Post by: Bernhard30 on January 26, 2014, 09:04:44 pm: Congrats to you both.

Everyone gives it the 'sleepless nights ahead' etc. But you might get lucky.

We had our little girl in November 2010. And within a few weeks she was sleeping right through the night.
Now she's 3 years old she's a right bed head and loves her bed. And a cheeky/lovely/caring little girl when she's awake.
But wow she's the best thing in my world.
I think it puts a new perspective and view on what 'love' is.

Take lots of pictures cause they grow and change so much, so fast.

Enjoy it.

Congrats pal!

just to echo, take a load of pictures. My 2 boys have changed dramatically over the last 12 months and its hard not to swell up when looking at pics of when they were first born

Title: Re: What an experience
Post by: skard on January 27, 2014, 12:13:27 pm: Thanks chaps, I am on my way to bring him home very soon.
i guess walking through the door is the first 'oh shìt' moment haha.

Will confirm his name later today, the wife has been so tired with him being a 4am birth and then having a night on the ward.
