    My life as I know it, is over. It will be replaced with, what people tell me, a wonderful new life. My wife gave birth to a healthy baby boy last friday, be it a month early, which did gave us a big surprise as we weren't ready yet. Tomorrow both mother and son can go home were we will be on our own to take care of him. (first one, so we're still inexperienced). By know everything should be in order ;-)

    At least I have some holiday to get used to the idea :-) Wish me luck.

    Congratulations mate. This is fantastic news; it certainly is a life changing event - enjoy it because you are not the same people you were last Thursday.

        Not true. The wallet will still be his; it's just the contents that are going AWOL.

          That's exactly what happened to us 7 years ago, although the details are sketchy due to the sleep depravation! Best of luck to you and your wife.

                        always! Find other dads and talk to them, not for comfort or security (There is none of that), but for humour and support!

                                Congrats! It happened to us 2 years ago. Sleep, as you knew it, is no more. You have no idea what sleep deprevation until you have kids. It'll be the hardest job you've ever had and the one you wouldn't trade for anything. They really start to get fun at about 18 months. Ouor little guy is surprising us with new things he's figured out, says and does every single day. We've come to the realization that we can't possible teach him stuff fast enough to keep up with his advancement!

                                          Congrats! It happened to us 2 years ago. Sleep, as you knew it, is no more. You have no idea what sleep deprevation until you have kids. It'll be the hardest job you've ever had and the one you wouldn't trade for anything. They really start to get fun at about 18 months. Ouor little guy is surprising us with new things he's figured out, says and does every single day. We've come to the realization that we can't possible teach him stuff fast enough to keep up with his advancement!

                                          I remember being absolutely fascinated with the emerging intelligence, fostering and guiding that intelligence was one of the most rewarding experiences. And 20 years down the track if they still want to go out and have a beer with you then you know you did something right.
