    Oh man, let me tell you how you're nerves are going to be frayed. You'll be a short fuse bomb on legs! And are you going to walk up and down a corridor until you know each tile on the floor and/or ceiling with great intimacy. And then, the baby comes. You break into a smile that splits your face in half. The world is young and beautiful all over again :D Man are you going to love that moment :D Thank you :D

        Ahhhh man ... nice one! I'm really looking forward to being a dad big time. But I feel that frayed feeling already! Bought an amazing buggy a little while ago, the Quinny Buzz ... woooo! its all gonna be so cool! :) My partner is close to being fed up with waddling around though. I think she can't wait to get it all done now!

          :D After about 14 hours of labor, the wife ended up getting a c-section. Little Samuel has been brought forth into this world! :D Chris! Where's that cigar smiley when we need it?! I'm overjoyed, I was actually shaking when they wheeled him out. So much I couldn't carry the kid. I haven't stopped smiling since I saw them both and now that I know that both are absolutely fine thankfully :D It feels awesome being a daddy since a few hours :laugh:
