- I bought a new, well I say new, nearly new - 9 month old approved BMW 320d MSport with 1,000 miles on the clock with all the gizmos and gadgets you could wish for. And, man, what a cracking car that thing is to drive - I went out for a drive in it the other night for no other reason then just for fun - and I haven't done that since I first past my test, and for a four door diesel saloon that is quite amazing :-) The missus now calls me a car geek instead of just a geek. 2) And speaking of the missus - she is preggers! Which means we will be expecting our first child in January - eeek!! No I'm not prepared, yes I am petrified - well not as much as the Mrs is about having to push the thing out :-) But we are both over the moon! Any tips? :-D

Be prepared for truly knowing what love is. The first time you hold that baby and look at it's helpless, innocent face you will feel overwhelmed with pride, love, and responsibility. That is the only time I felt like I would do anything and everything for someone, that no sacrifice would be too great. After a few weeks of no sleep, the feeling is still there and you realize that's the reason why you are not taking the baby back. My experience has been that babies get better every three months for the first year. I love the 2-3 year stages. I have 4 and #5 is in the oven. The major milestones are: 1. Sleeping through the night (which #4 is going on 2 and still not doing) 2. Crawling (they gain some independence) 3. Walking (they gain even more) 4. Talking is overrated, although the jibberish is cute. They think they've just rattled off a big sentence and are so proud of themselves. Stay away from big purple dinosaurs.
Brad If you think you can, you will. If you think you can't, you won't. Either way, you're right.

Both, and yourself. I saw a comment from someone somewhere a short while ago that was something along the lines of "Before I became a parent the question 'how much vomit is OK on a t-shirt?' never had any answer other than 'none', now it varies daily".

I used to think it was funny when my next door neighbor used to say, "If I sound like I'm about to kill my child, it's because I'm about to kill my child." Now that my eldest is turning 6 next week I don't laugh anymore, but use it myself.

Congrats. And I don't know what your plans are for child care/pre-school but around here there are places where parents put kids on the waiting list before they are born.
