Baby Finlay William Emerson was from his mother's womb untimely ripp'd at 4 o' clock today. He's surprisingly ugly given how good looking I am.
The whole thing was utterly surreal. Months at NTC and NHS classes could never have prepared us for three days of escalating problems and sleepless nights. Mum and baby doing well but she won't be picking him up for a while. Child seat for rear of bike on order.
Congratulations.
Well done fella (and girl of course!). Celebratory beer in the fridge I hope!
Woot! Woot!
Hope you get a good nights sleep (it may be your last for a while ) ๐
Top banana - and now the fun really commences (for the next 18 years!) ๐
Congratulations fella. All the best to Mrs UR and the little chap!
Congratulations!
Congratulations. ๐
(6 weeks-ish for me and mrs deadly)
Not often that I laugh at a post this early but nice work sir.
Hope mum and son do well and are at home with you soon.
Sleep when you can!! That is all.
Well done both of you, hope the gal is up and well soon
Lovely news, a wonderful thing. Your first I'm guessing?
My first grandchild arrived 6 weeks ago, my second is due this coming week. How nice it is to be able to hand them back this time around when they start crying/pooing/wanting a feed... 8)
Congratulations, hope the mother recovers soon!
congrats!
couldnt agree more about classes not preparing you for what can go wrong
kimbers jr #1 was particularly stubborn refusing to budge and quite horrificaly the ventous snapped as they were trying to pull him out! the look of fear on the consultants face scared the crap out of me
fortuntely jr #2 was a lot easier, he came out via the sunroof too a bit earlier
any way good luck and all the best

Plus it will be the best thing thats happened.

congrats! our first is 100 days old today and every day he gets more awesome
lots of amazing times to look forward to. ๐
Lucky man! Congratulations to all three of you. Hope you both stocked up on sleep...
I write this from the sanctuary of our bedroom. Mug of tea in hand. Listening to the hell that a 5 & 7yr old can unleash when they get up before their parents. Playing Police at the moment, the bedroom door having just flown open in a "raid". They're fighting now, over who is the "boss" of the police.
Kids are ace.
Well done OP, but even more well done to Mrs OP.
Congrats ๐
No advice other than to beware of unsolicited advice.
Congratulations to you both ๐

Advice is best approached with the attitude that it can be rejected as well as accepted. Nice pics and well done Mrs User-removed.
Have to disagree with earlier statement, the wee yin is far better looking than you!. ๐
Looks lovely, have they given you any indication of when he's likely to come home?
I had over 1000 photo's of my daughter before they eventualy let her come home. (born 2nd July, home 6th Dec)

Awww, baby pics ๐
I trust you've learnt how to hold a baby now?? ๐ (Pic no. 3)
Awe, dude, congrats.
Thanks all, and yes, I lied about him being ugly ๐ He came home two days after the birth and has been changing our lives ever since. Dog is slightly put out but very interested.
