Thread: I am going to be a dad

Reads,
Nice one!

I think it was the lack of rain here in Brisbane that caused it. Now we have had a bit the seeds are starting to germinate.

Make sure you are at the birth. It is the most wonderful experience you will both share.

Cheers,
Russ

So this is what happens when you Read too much


Congrats to you both.

Congratulations - especially after such a long wait. You must both be well chuffed.

A few books:
Baby Love - Robin Barker - tells you everything you'll need to know for pregnancy and the first year.
The Pregnancy Bible - not sure who by. Really good explanation of everything for the 9 months and a bit beyond.

You wife might like to read a Kaz Cooke book called 'Up the Duff', its a very funny diary of a woman's pregnancy - informative too.

You might be interested in 'Fatherhood' by Tony Payne. Interesting & makes you think about the responsibility a dad has.

all the best, and remember, it didn't happen without pictures!

Well done and congratulations, it must have been the move to Oz that did it, try and make the birth date 05/08/08 - he /she can share my 40th.

Well done you two!



Despite the horrors of teen and pre teen daughters fighting non stop lately during school hols, , I wouldn't change anything for any money!

enjoy yourselves and remember to laugh lots.It helps when carrying a screaming 3 month old colic sufferer around inside a caraven for 4 to 5 hours a night for about 2 months!

Congratulations mate! From what little I know of you, you should be a fantastic father.

It will get difficult, there will be heated discussions. Money will get short, as will sleep - but trust me it's all worth it. Hang in there and you'll never look back.

Congrats again.

Just to add,

recommend Phil & Ted prams.
