Grats it's simply the greatest thing being a Dad.

Although if I hear the singing Xmas tree once more doing Rocking Around the Xmas tree I may start to eat my words.

6 weeks and it starts to get easier.
Learn to sleep when and where you can.
Remember to enjoy it as it's amazing, even when you are running on empty.
I'm still in the spare room after 6 weeks just to function as the Mrs NEEDs to be up at night and I don't but I NEED to function in the day for the other one.
Congrats.
Tim

Congratulations Haribo, amazing journey awaits you. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, sometimes scary but always amazing. My little girl is 5 in 3 weeks and my little boy just gone 2. They light my life up every day, drive me to the brink on a regular basis but I love them like you cannot imagine unless you've got kids of your own. I'd step in their way to protect them from anything without a seconds thought.
It's probably the hardest thing you'll ever do but when people say make the most of it they're absoluetly right.
Enjoy my friend 8)

Congratulations!

It is the best thing ever (Miss RBIT 1 on Friday), though it is bloody hard work. Make the most of any opportunity you get to go out on the bike, because there won't be as many as you're used to.

Well done 😀 , I can only echo the above and say I love being a dad it's the most amazing feeling , seeing your offspring being born is an important bonding experience IMO even if it is a bit yucky .My boys are 6 years and 9 months and seeing those smiley faces when you come home from a bad day at work makes all your worrries melt away.

Lots of hugs kissesand smiles are what you're little one needs (don't forget mum ,tell her how amazing she is|)

Nice one.

Although it will be hard at times, it is the best thing that ever happened to me and Mrs Coolhandluke.

Enjoy.

Take lots of photographs so you can embarrass them when they turn 18. Time flies too, enjoy it as often as you can.

Well done. agree about the best thing ever. I remember getting home about 5 in the morning and the feeling, well, I can't describe it. but something like wow times a big number.
Just enjoy a bit of peace now, it won't last, but just remember how you feel now, and when things get hard, think back to now.

4 months in for us now , say goodbye to a full nights sleep clean clothes and spontaneous mountain bike rides and hello to conversations about poo and vomit.

It is unbelievably fabulous to be a father . When i walk in and little crankbrat smiles in recognition the sense of love and pride is overwhelming.

Great news.

My first came in January and my next is due in July. The great things will soon out weigh the things you saw last night. It just gets better from here on it.

Does Haribo Jr have a name yet?

"7 pounds 2. Best day of my life"

You have honestly never had a better experience than seeing the result of you spunking up some bird?

I weep for you with sincerity! 🙁

This is largely why our culture is in a very sorry state at the moment. If people honestly believe (and I know many do) that the pinnacle of human achievement is pushing their cock in and out of a vagina long enough to give them an orgasm, then we really are never going to get anywhere are we?

Sort yourself out immediately!

"Peed all over me this afternoon lol"

A baby urinated over you and your first reaction was to laugh! 'Ha ha ha' 'HA ha ha'

Oh what fun.

Parenthood really should be classified as a learning disability!

Seriously! Get a grip of yourself. This is a pretty difficult world you need to bring your child up to do well in. Do you think acting like a ****ing urophile teletubby is going to give it a good start?

Our daughter is 21 weeks now and yes the first 6 weeks can be a nightmare at times, but it does get much easier. Getting the feeding sorted seemed to be the key to success for us, as proper feeding = proper routine = more sleep for everyone 😀

Enjoy it and take plenty of time off work and spend it with your new family.
