I walk into the room where my Daughter was recovering from the birth of her first child,,and there he was a beutiful baby boy with all the required body parts, healthy as.a big boy he is to 8lb 9ozs...ouch...luckily the epidural kicked in just at the right time and all Mum felt was a bit of a stinging sensation....anyway enought gusshing from me.
All The Best

" Getting down on all fours and imitating a rhinoceros stops babies from crying. (Put an empty cigarette pack on your nose for a horn and make loud "snort" noises.) I don't know why parents don't do this more often. Usually it makes the kid laugh. Sometimes it sends him into shock. Either way it quiets him down. If you're a parent, acting like a rhino has another advantage. Keep it up until the kid is a teenager and he definitely won't have his friends hanging around your house all the time. ~P.J. O'Rourke "

Wishing you and your family all the best!!

Congratulations! My daughter had my first grandchild (boy) 2 years ago, so I know how much of a thrill it is, and another one on the way now.
After 3 daughters, 2 female dogs and a female cat, the little bloke is really special to me.

Nice,

You'll value sleep so much more now.

Well, this time of year I think is easier on new borns, less colds and less clothes.

JohN Dee · 21st October 2007, 03:40 AM

Speaking of new borns, (sorry to hijack the thread dad) how's your mrs's' pregnancy coming along Trev?
