Mr Whippy - 19/3/13 at 10:16 PM

Well there you go, after what has to be the most harrowing experience of my life, not to mention the poor wife's... (Write a birth plan, what a joke!)

My new little garage apprentice has shown her face and she is a right little fighter too Girrr she tries to break my fingers oh and her name? Well being very much into astronomy I’ve called her Andromeda after my fave galaxy M31 yeah a tad unusual and in Greek it means Ruler of men just don’t tell her that

Once she’s old enough she can drive her Toylander and help out with the cars etc, start them young I say ;o)

Off to get some sleep now cos I am so totally shattered....zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

My youngest is 11months old now & is doing something different every day, they get their personalities so quickly.

MikeR - 20/3/13 at 11:20 AM

congratulations.

took me 6 weeks to stop looking for convents when my daughter was born 5 months ago. as others have said, its an amazing rewarding roller coaster and it does get easier as the weeks pass. don't miss out on chances to feed and change her, it does bring you closer.

I've also got a 21 month old - final advice to anyone who'll listen, wait till you have another, two very young is very very difficult. :-)


Mr Whippy - 20/3/13 at 12:25 PM

Thanks very much for the kind words from all of you, hugely excited with it all


Peteff - 20/3/13 at 12:43 PM

Try to remember what caused it and don't do it again Congratulations to all and especially mum and baby.


mds167 - 20/3/13 at 12:52 PM

Congratulations!!


Vindi_andy - 20/3/13 at 04:37 PM

Congratulations.

My two girls and now fast approaching 11 and 13 as has been said before, where has that time gone.

One of my favourite things to do when they were small was to lay back either on the bed or the sofa and lay them on my chest. gives you such a warm feeling.

Wait till you have that "OH MY GOD what do we do now" stage when you first get her home. Its like you have brought an alien life form home but its the best job in the world.

With regard to staring them young, my youngest learnt her numbers over 10 by helping me build Tango fetching spanners and sockets for me.

I still remember that moment from our first. wife and I got home, put the babyseat in the middle of the lounge and just looked at each other over it

Was one of the scariest moments in my life but also one of the best


scudderfish - 21/3/13 at 02:45 PM

Just wait until she's a bit older, small hands are ace for reaching the awkward bolts you can't
