Nearly 9k posts in 3 years.

That will change.

Everything changes. Mine are 11 and 12 and I'm enjoying them more than ever.

Congratulations!

Our wee one is going to be one in a weeks time. One year old already. Only seems like yesterday the wife's waters broke all over the bed.

Ah, you've got all that to look forward to biggrin

If it helps to alleviate the shock, at least you can be happy that you're not a jaffa.

Congrats party

it's good. My second time is coming up in March, nearly three years on from the first. Number one is a true petrolhead already. "Daddy, go faster!"

Congratulations - I remember the time when Mrs ADJimbo announced it... We have six weeks to go and I'm still in shell-shock...

1/ Be there for her - she will thank you for it. As I see it, Pregnancy is like a hang-over from hell.

2/ As a PH'er - make sure you choose the right car seat for the baby - start researching now - believe it or not, PH is a good place to research...

3/ Smile sweetly whenever she wants something for the baby, and hand over your card - we are sub six weeks and are now -£7k down (changing car, cots, travel systems, moses baskets, pram suits etc...)

Apparently, it comes to us all - and I would not change it for the world...

Good Luck, A blessing, I'm made up for you both...

Only 8 weeks mate. Scary times for another 4-5 weeks yet.

You will be fine... Head down and think positive - any risk starts to significantly reduce after eight weeks...
