Girl, 8lbs, hair, big feet, no crying, feeding well, 17 hours start to finish, mum ok with minimal drugs.

In case any of you care 🙂

congratulations.

She’ll start crying eventually 😉

Congratulations big boy- the wall of black poo, green sick and screaming is only building. Enjoy it while you can.

congrats we had a boy recently and hes great hope yours sleeps as good as mine 😉

Felicitations old chap. Name?

superb news enjoy

Well done to all of you, hearty congrats.

Boddington is a nice middle name for a girl. 😀

Megan is her name. Although I keep calling her by all sorts of other names…

She didn’t like her bed, we concluded it smelled funny (it’s recently been painted) so I went to Ikea and bought a mattress for the other crib. I cut it down, altered the cover to fit, faffed about with the sewing machine a lot, and the thing still stinks to high heaven of chemicals, just different ones. Also the other crib is in our room, and we’re a bit worried that she’ll puke her guts up like she did last night.

You do get used to little or no sleep after a while, my two are doing a great tag team sleeping deal at the moment, you’ll constantly be tired and never have any time to yourself, enjoy it, it’s great.

Congrats man. I’ve been up since 5.15am with our 14 week old girl. Bloody tiring but good. Still up early for a bike ride!

Congrats mate, mines 4 weeks old this week – enjoy every moment as it goes so fast!!

Congratulations, you should of read this first

FOLLOW THESE 14 SIMPLE TESTS BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO HAVE CHILDREN.

they might improve their child’s sleeping habits, toilet training, table
manners and overall behavior.

the answers.

Test 3 – Nights

To discover how the nights will feel:

weighing approximately 4 – 6kg, with a radio turned to static (or some
other obnoxious sound) playing loudly.

sleep.
3. Get up at 11pm and walk the bag around the living room until 1am.
