 You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
My wife gave birth to our first child on monday. 11:08 on 2/2/15. I didn't for one second imagine just how instantly and profoundly our lives would change for the better... I had been told of course, but i did't [i]know[/i].
Awesome and incredible and awesome.
That is all 😀
It is, congratulations. 😀
You may be rethinking your perspective at points over the next few months, probably at around 3 in the morning, but you are definitely right. 🙂
Our 2nd is due in a month 😯
Congratulations to you all! If you're feeling this elated at 3 days, your head's actually going to explode with happiness in about a years time!
It'll pass. One of my kids is currently bullying the other at school....
Give it time! You may yet change your mind.
Seriously though, it's fantastic isn't it? Congratulations. A new chapter in your life.
Just try to remember that feeling at 4:30am when you are covered in poo, vomit and an interesting mix of both after a grand total of 40 minutes uninterrupted sleep.
In the last week. 😀
Isn't it just! Enjoy it, it's the best job in the world.

It's alright.
It'll pass. One of my kids is currently bullying the other at school....
Go round and beat up his dad. That always sorts it.
Come on, don't spoil his buzz! He'll discover the stark reality of the situation soon enough... 😉
That feeling will pass, dont worry 😀
Congratulations.
Your feelings and moods will yoyo over the coming months and years. Keep this thread somewhere so you can remind yourself how great it is on those days/nights when the novelty has worn off!
It has ups and downs. Ours came home from pre-school yesterday (hes 4) suddenly started manically built a huge swooping Mobil(?) train track through the front room, under a arm chair and out into the hallway and was stopped by his Mum from taking it through into another room. I let him as I wanted to see what feat he was upto.
He remembers EVERYTHING that you promise him. So its easy to spot how fickle you can be and how it affects another.
Many congratulations!
The feeling will never fade. You will have moments of doubt, but they will be short and the little mite will reaffirm those feeling right back at you just as quickly.
Congratulations! Enjoy it, it's brilliant. First six months are easy too. And only the one in hindsight is a doddle 🙂
Congratulations!
The Isla bike website is that way ------->
thought i'd add to this thread.
Coming home to a 2 1/2 year old who is full of joy to see you again never wears out 😀
Well done Mrs SAFK.
Stay away from the other thread where we are supporting oldnpastit through a very rough patch.
Welcome to young ms/mr SAFK. (We'll let you off as you are new to this). Have you bought the first bike yet? 8)

<---------- eBay and the "Preowned Isla Bike Facebook Group" is that way!

Nah - his dad is great. The mother on the other hand is a funt of the highest order.
I'm a year in, and I love it. I just don't seem to tire of looking at wreckerjnr's little face or hearing him say "DADS!". It goes so much faster than I imagined though. They don't stay small for long!
It goes so much faster than I imagined though.
This is very true.
With number two I've dropped to a four day working week so I could spend more time with her while she was pre-school. Wish I'd done it with number one!
Coming upto our firsts second birthday (crumbs, where did those two years go) and must admit it has been a hoot and it's getting better.
Congrats to all involved.
Be prepared to love something like you never thought was possible!
Congratulations! mine is 3 and a half now and every day has been fab . Time has flown though but strangely I have only a vague memory of life pre crankbrat and find myself trying to work our what we had done with him in all the old photos where me and his mum are ridding bikes together or relaxing on beaches without a care in the world.
It is amazing but the novelty will soon wear off along with your money, sleep time and ride time. 😉
My nipper is 14 this year and I really miss my "little girl". She has changed so much in the last 12 months its really scary. Make the most of it because before you know it they only want you for money and food and a lift.

Ain't that the truth! 😆
Babies aren't much fun TBH - they just eat, drink, sleep and sh1t. Just wait til the little one starts walking and talking as that's when the real fun begins 🙂
The Royal Bank Of Dad.
Sometimes it seems the only reason I exist is to fund/feed/ferry/follow round after my three beautiful children. I used to have lots of hair, time, money and patience. Not really much of any of it is left anymore.
Apart from that, yeah it's ace!
P.s. Congratulations!
Dad of 4 here.... Unlucky.ha. But I do understand the first time parent joy.
Be careful what you say...
We're currently trying to untrain dd from saying "Oh NOES" (which I got from here 😆 ) and after he started calling me "Diddy" for a while, I got all hip hop and would place his tea in front of him and say "Check pon dat...(thankfully leaving out the mutha-****-a bit)" with a flourish. That's being repeated now! 😀
Your child is blessed as he/she shares my birthday 😀
