Adam F Posted June 19, 2005 Report Posted June 19, 2005 Didnt have time to post this yesterday - but had a call from James on Friday night at 1.30am....he must be out congering I thought...he wasnt....but he sure enough he had one to book in: A baby girl born at 12.30am Saturday morning - 10lbs... Sophie Anna Parker (I think) He sounded over the moon, but Im not sure if this was the new family member or the fact he now has 2 week paternity leave to go fishing!! Quote
Coddy Posted June 19, 2005 Report Posted June 19, 2005 Well done and congrats to you both I bet your partner said something like "never come near me again!" during labour. (They mean it as well) lol You now have a good excuse to buy some extra fishing gear to start training the youngster! All the best Coddy (ps Start saving NOW for the 18th, 21st, university, wedding and constant "can I please borrow some money) Welcome to being in the Dad club Quote
Afishionado Posted June 19, 2005 Report Posted June 19, 2005 HAhahahaha!! Enjoy the 3am feeds and pooie nappies mate THAT'S THE EASY BIT. YOU HAVE THE WHINING ONES, THE TERRIBLE THREES, THE FEARSOM FOURS ETC to come. These ages are easy too trust me But you just wait till the little angel (those who know will substitue 'Madam' for angel) reaches 13 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh boy you have no idea you poor innocent lad Mad Mike PS Breast feeding is best..... Good for baby and dad can play with the empties Quote
Adam F Posted June 19, 2005 Author Report Posted June 19, 2005 He's and old hand at all of this now - he already has one and has perfected the perfect set-up....baby starts crying at 4am, james is already up, feeds the baby changes nappy - now 5am, sun is up, james is in the car boat in tow....spends all day fishing while 'the other half' does baby duties than comes home to join the other 2 for feeds and sleeps!!.....
