      Thanks Gary :D Sorry for the late reply! Oh yeah, I'm hoping he's going to follow in Daddy's footsteps. I wonder, are there any father child pairs already on CP?

                      Yeah, I can feel it in my bones. Plus, my dad and my father in law gave me the drill. Then My wife's grandma, then my mother and my mother in law, then my uncles... You'd think that at my age I'd get it from the first time :D I'm actually quite looking forward to it :)

                        :laugh: That happened last night! I was so tense at the hospital, then I came home, posted, replied a few times then just "passed out" with the relief that mother and child are great :) Now I'm responding to all the people I couldn't respond to last night!

                        Cheers! :D We're actually quite looking forward to it! Personally, all I remember from my brother's childhood (he's 10 years my junior) is the way he used to grab long hair (any hair in excess of 2 inches in length) and hold on to it with a death defying grip that none save another child could best! But I'll settle for ankle biting :D

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

                                :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:
