After a year and a half of trying my wife is finally pregnant found out yesterday very over the moon and glad to see there is still some lead in the old pencil seeing as iam 37 going on 38,so ive got about 7/8 mnths to get in as much riding as possible.

congratulations! yes, ride your bike now! Life is about to change for ever 🙂

Congratulations to you both. Have as many lie-ins as you can, cause when the little’un arrives they are gone.

Congratulations!

welcome to the club of no sleep but I’m going riding on sunday morning anyway, Oh and sage wisdom….hangovers and babies really don’t mix!

Great news.

If you thought you had no freedom as a married man think again!

Good luck.

Congratulations to you and the wife. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking riding ends when the baby is born though !! When we had kids, we both felt it was important to make time for ourselves as well.I’d still go for a ride a couple of times a week. Then do some baby minding (a bit scary on my own at first)so my wife could get out.

Say hello to night rides!

95% of my rides now start at 7.30 with both kiddies asleep.

Congratulations – life changing experience – poverty, no sleep, a few years of smelling of sick or nappy sacks but the best thing you’ll ever do – it just gets better and better.

Congratulations to you both. My wife just had her 12 weeks scan this afternoon and it’s just hit home that I’m going to be a dad after seeing a wee person on the screen.

should add that we have two kids already from previous marriage/relationship the stepson is 15 and my daughter is 11/12 in two weeks time so its been awhile since we did the whole nappy/baby sick thing but we both can just about remember,well the good bits anyway!! 😆

hangovers and babies really don’t mix!

This really is the best advice anyone could give you!! Trust me.

Many congratulations (wait for it MrsFlash), as the father of twin girls (3 weeks old) and being of advancing years myself (41), I know what it is like to hear the wonderful news.

Can’t say I have ridden my bike though – and I don’t think I have ht eenergy to do so right now….

🙂

ditto what Leku said, say hello to the night/very early morning.

Mastiles have you had twins? I really had no idea! You kept that one quiet didn’t you?? 😉

Congratulations both 8) and take no notice of the ‘ride as much as you can now’ comments . . . I bought my first mtb when I was 7 months pregnant and just dropped a deposit on my fifty-somethingth . . . didn’t have any more kids though 😉

Well done for having lots of sex. 😈

Congrats hope the baby is great.

Congratulations fatsimon…but I can’t believe that no-one else had asked the obvious in light of your previous threads…are you sure it’s yours? 😉

Well done!

Congratulations! Hope all goes well.

DAMN! Beaten to it by FoxyChick!

Best of luck, old chap!

Dammit foxychick! I was scrolling down and about to post that it could also be mine. Taxi25, thats what we are going to do. 🙂

CFH…I looked for your post on this thread…and knew what you would have said…so posted it for both of us!!! 8)

(and hora it would seem…) 😉

Fatsimon, if hes born with a anchor tattoo on his arm and a cheeky grin. Well, sorry fella 😮 Further signs as he grows up? He cant ride for toffee and has a large jaw?…err me again!

And if he comes out sporting a fedora tipped to a jaunty angle, well, what can I say?

Thanks, FC! Was somewhat busy earlier!

Well done FS – congrats to both.

And well done Hora….. 😆

Congratulations, although I really don’t get this “no more riding cos of the baby” crap – fair enough the first month, but after that?
