Been a bit over-girled of late at CFH Towers, what with Mrs CFH and Little Miss CFH running around the place.

So, am more than a little pleased to be say that Young Master CFH arrived in this world, with a healthy pair of lungs, yesterday morning! A happy, healthy little boy, both he and Mrs CFH are doing marvellously well!

I've been doing the Snoopy Dance ever since!

😀 Off back to the hospital now, to introduce him to his big sister! 😀

Congratulations!!!

The arrival of my son 10 years ago changed my life for the better!*

* I should also say I have a 15y/o daughter whom I absolutely adore but the dad / lad thing is something rather special. Enjoy. 🙂

8 5 and 4. I hate to break it to you, but it gets worse. A lot worse. I suggest unarmed combet / self defence courses now, it's like having 3 minature Kato's hiding around the place.

brassneck - you're not kidding. The eldest 2 are already well versed in "the ninja bollock punch", "the undefendable toy to the head throw" and "the random kick in the head whilst putting on shoes manoeuvre" and no doubt they will train number 3 in the dark arts as soon as they can 😉

Thanks, all! Some truly excellent, and expected responses, especially from nbt, binners and cynic-al! You three all win a gold star, well done! 😀

Just back from introducing the two of them. Little Miss CFH said two words on seeing him...."Herro" (Hasn't fully mastered "hello" yet!) and "Baby". Then she reached towards him and gave him a kiss.

It was, I have to say, rather dusty in the room at that point! Hoping to have them back home with us tomorrow. 🙂

Congratulations !! to all. 🙂

We have a Girl and boy and I remember when everyone was asking "do you want a boy or a girl" and my mouth would say "Oh I don't mind" but my brain was shouting " Boy Boy Boy"

Now try slipping in "Danger" as his middle name, on the birth certificate.

Daftvader, given that you're 'local' worth mentioning that Basingstoke hospital were truly excellent. OK, so unlike Chelsea and Westminster, there's a woeful lack of great French delis over the road, but the overall standard of care was first class.

Got chatting to another second time father who was coming over every day from Newbury because he'd heard good things. He was right.

Midwives were brilliant, but oddly it was the cleaners who really set it apart. So cheerful and helpful. Brilliant, really.
