Congratulation Richard. Glad to hear Bonnie and Peanut are doing well.
As said above, there is nothing quite like it.  Just remember to look after him really well as he will be the one choosing your nursing home one day ;)

Congratulations. When all else fails, crank up the extractor fan above your kitchen hob if you have one. White nose is baby catnip!!

Huge congrats Richard and please pass on best wishes to Bonnie too.

It's an immense feeling being a father.

As for sleep, who needs it. Best time to wash the motors is in the dead of night...lol

Thanks for all the comments folks.  Got the wife and little man back home this evening.  Bless her, tother half was climbing the walls after almost 8-days in hospital, and it was driving me nuts too spending 12 hours a day over there.  Had to be done, but it's very boring......

Now the fun really begins..... :) :baby: :shit: :chay: :chay: :sleeping: :chay: :chay:  :yawn: :biggrin:

Ohhh now the fun begins! The main thing is sleep, if you can get a nights sleep (good luck) then you can deal with anything,so i hope that the little man gets into a pattern asap, as once they do its like a weight lifted from your back.
Enjoy as best you can.

No-doubt at some stage you will resort to driving around in the middle of the night to try and get him over.  Well,  your X6 is a great place to be while doing so.  Just watch out you don't start going out for the drive too often otherwise the little man may just get too used to it!  ::)

That is probably the fairist thing he can do driving the little man around at night so nobody can see him in it !

Thank you.  I wrote that with you in mind, knowing you would have something to say, and as usual you haven't disappointed.  ;)
