Drooper Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) I've enjoyed a wee ten minutes reading this thread. All the very best to those of you who are expectant parents, and others who have just become proud mummies and daddies. It certainly takes me back a bit. My youngest is now a matter of 3 weeks off turning 15. Her big sister started uni last year. They grow up in a blink of an eye, so try to be there as much as you can be. I remember when my brother-in-law was giving me a lift over to the RAH in Paisley to see our firstborn the day after she was delivered. He was already a dad, and commented how it was probably the biggest change in your life you'll ever experience - simply based on the fact that there is now someone who is more important than you. That has always stayed with me, as he was spot-on. Having children is a privilege (albeit a pain in the arse, on occasion). Even in your darkest times, you have the comfort of knowing that you've done something special. Try to do your best to get it right by them, and you'll do fine. Don't worry if you get it wrong from time to time, Children are more resilient than we give them credit for, and probably more forgiving than we deserve them to be. One last thing....remember, it is you who should be making them proud. Edited February 14, 2013 by Drooper 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nkomo-A-Gogo Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Congratulations Rowan. Tomorrow at 4.30pm my girlfriend will get the gel that will induce labour and they will keep her in and she should be laying our first baby on thursday. Have my hospital bag packed with I-pod 4 pack of flakes and pepsi max cans in case its a long one. She had a touch of the old gestational diabetes so has been injecting for months now and she is so fed up, this baby is coming at just the right time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Nu la", fairly common name over here, probably even more common in the rest of the island. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaithRyan Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Half way stage for us, Mrs is now 24 weeks on saturday, it's absolutely flew in!
