I'm not usually one for these gay RL announcements, but wanted to tell b3ta that just as he was born, when I held him in my arms and looked down at his tiny face, I just knew that he'd done a massive shit right into the pocket of the only trousers I had with me for the hospital stay. I had to wear my missus pants for the rest of the visit.
I'll always remember that sacred moment :-D

I had similarly practical thoughts when my son was born (he's 6 months now) like "he's got massive red bollocks, Jesus".
The start is hard going (as every fucker has been telling you for the last 9 months) but the thing to remember is that it is totally properly absolutely worth it. Even in the middle of the night when you'd give him away to a total stranger for free, totally worth it.
Congratualtions to you and your lady:D

What people didn't warn me about is that the wailing is something they learn after a few days, at first we thought we had the calmest baby ever concieved.
He's yelling himself red right now ;-)

Me the wifeface sat there smugly telling our parents we had a "really placid baby" while they smiled knowingly.

I'm looking forward to the delights in store, yesterday he did his first pee pee all over his mum, maybe he'll puke on me! ;-)

Tabby is the one on the right. But it was taken about 4 years ago.

It was called "The bird strike jacket", and is no longer in existence. Fill in the blanks for yourselves.

Someone said to me 'say goodbye to sleep' which was an exaggeration, I managed to catch 30 minutes earlier today. ;)

Mine has his 21st birthday this week, and that very moment when he was born really does only feel like last week. Enjoy, keep smiling and pour all the love in the world into the little one so no matter if you make a mistake, they will still think you are ace!

My boy simultaneously pissed and shit on me within seconds of me holding him for the first time.
Fatherly advice...
When it all gets too hard (with the crying and lack of sleep etc), it's sometimes easy to think that it will be like that forever. But they do get older and easier to manage, and you will settle down into a routine that works.
Also look out for the best 'early' period - when they are old enough to be left alone (i.e. not held constantly), but not old enough to crawl...

I'm a patient sort of a chap, I just keep thinking how frustrating it must be to be a baby and totally unable to say what's going on with all these new weird sensations they get on a daily basis :-)

Mine's just over 4 weeks old now. Watch out for the farts and exploding poo stage ;)
