...my newborn daughter's pram?*

Born just before midnight last night, and utterly, utterly beautiful. Mother and baby are recovering well, after a fair old time of it to get here!

😀

Everything I thought I knew about the words "tired" and "happy" was wrong. It is possible to be more tired than you can imagine, and it is also possible to be happier than you can imagine. It's been very dusty around here, I can tell you. Very dusty indeed! Taxi driver this morning looked at me and said, "You look like a bloke who's just won the lottery or somthing!"

I smiled, let another tear drop down my cheek and replied, "No. Even better than that....."

😀

*I was thinking of fitting some nice classic Tioga Comp IIIs, but then I found out that Mrs CFH had chosen one of those niche wheel sizes, so that's out! 😉

congrats 🙂

My son is 16 today. I can still remember holding him for the first time and looking into his eyes.

Great feeling.

This was first broadcast around the time my son was born and made a big impact;

My dear son, it is six o'clock in the morning on the island of Hong Kong. You are asleep cradled in my left arm and I am learning the art of one-handed typing. Your mother, more tired yet more happy than I've ever known her, is sound asleep in the room next door and there is a soft quiet in our apartment.

Since you've arrived, days have melted into night and back again and we are learning a new grammar, a long sentence whose punctuation marks are feeding and winding and nappy changing and these occasional moments of quiet.[/i]

Congratulations Captain, all the best to you and yours 😀

That feeling never leaves by the way, i get the same surge of love, pride and euphoria whenever I see my lads (4 and 5)

I am quite exceptionally tired though, no amount of sleep now will make up for it. 😉

Congrats CFH, when I'm drinking again I shal have a MG XO on your behalf

It is possible to be more tired than you can imagine,

Give another 3 or 4 weeks... but its always worth it 🙂 and it all gets forgotten when you have those "first's" moments of which there will be many....

Well done buddy, didn't even know there was a Mrs. CFH.

Enjoy these early days, they are very precious and irreplaceable. After that, it just keeps getting better*

My youngest son is just 3 months old, getting to the smiley giggley stage and has just discovered that if he sticks his tongue out at the boy in the mirror, he'll do it right back. Masses of fun!

cynic-al, you win one whole internet! 😉
Ben, might be in Jan. Will hold you to that beer and dumpling offer!
And to all, thanks for all the notes above! 🙂 Home for a bit of a washing machine fest, then back to hospital a little later. Might treat myself to a beer when I get home! Oh, and there's always a bottle of XO! A goodly nip of which was taken at some silly hour this morning when I came home to sleep.

Well done!

You will receive some unforgettably stupid advice as a new parent, so here is some from me

Father to a son, one prick to worry about
Father to a daughter, one million pricks to worry about

Enjoy 😉
