I'm a dad :)
On Friday night at 18.40 I became a dad!

Mia Rose was born on her due date and weighed in at 8lbs 6.5. Mother and baby are doing really well and came home yesterday lunchtime; my request for them not coming home for a few weeks so that I can stockpile some sleep did not seem to go down well!

I cannot wait to see tellytubbies on our 7ft wide screen cinema.

Ian.

Re: I'm a dad :)
Congrats mate!!

Just be prepared in roughly 3 - 4 months time, you'll have to re-house all hifi and cinema equipment at least 3 foot high, off the floor !!!

Oh, and your CD and DVD collection...

Steady on, we've still got 4 months to wait!

Congrats to you all, we decided ages ago that if we have a girl she'll be called Mia. A very pretty name

Re: I'm a dad :)
Congratulations

Making a house 'child proof' is an interesting time and now is a good time to consider altering or moving speakers, amps, cables etc.

Children change everything - priorities, goals, money, sleep patterns, oh and you can forget about really being relaxed for at least the next 21 years

But it worth it

Congratulations to both Ian and Decadence and your respective other halves

You'll find there's baseball on C5 at 2am, quite handy for when you're on the late shift.
