Have just found out that my wife is going to be induced on Tuesday!

I have started pacing already! Jings my legs are going to be sore.
 
Congrats! Enjoy your last few nights of sleep.:D the first six months are the hardest, then it gets better every day.
 
Grats man, my wife took 4 days of inducing before she popped, very stressfull. I hope you have an easier time. FYI, it was the potosin that finally did the trick.
 
None. I came off of 6 weeks of third shift work (the other guy quit, I really hate that guy) to have one week of rest before the baby was born. I am enjoying it all, except the lack of sleep. I can't wait for her to sleep during the night, currently it is her most active time.
 
Congrats Dibby, do we know if it's a boy or girl?

Hope you don't plan on having sex any time soon, my wife says that's forbbiden for the first year (only eight more months to go for me).

A full year!?! Whew! maybe eight weeks, tops...

O, and congrats!
 
Don't invite any of those guys competing for weight loss over. Especially Cheese.....

No idea if boy or girl.

As for the sex. I am not going anywhere near anything that can do that for a GOOD long time! I made the mistake of watching in great awe my daughter coming out and I took a long time to step up to the plate again so to speak...

Just paced up into town and bought speakers for i-pod, 100 blank DVDs, 1 cuddly toy, 1 potato head, 20 scratch cards, 1 prepaid phone recharge card and 3 juggling balls. Expensive pacing!

Congrats! Homebrews and smokes are at the ready for the good news!

eek smokes, i forgot about them. ...very few people I know smoke! Will have to get some anyway!
 
Hand your buddies real cigars whether they smoke them or not. Even cigarellos are better than those ridiculous chocolate things the women always want us to give out. Better nothing at all than a PC replacement.

Congrats on the new arrival, BTW! All three of mine were by appointment too. It certainly reduces the stress level knowing when they're coming.
 
Just remind her that her MOUTH didn't pass any babies lately. That'll score you some points.

Congrats! First? Last?

Thanks Cheese. I have been following that line of inquiry for a while but I will put across your point to her and see what happens. I don't really fancy my chances but I will try anyway and let you know how I get on! Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

...This is both my second and my last. Where are those scissors :eek:

under 6 pounds? Throw her back, she's not done cooking! :) Miles was 9.25 pounds, so my wife gets jealous when she hears about smaller babies. Although I guess none are small if you're the one passing it, right?

cheers! Now Miles has a reason to visit Tasmania in 18 years.
 
1157pm here. on third beer and aiming for 12 before bed!


she is a little stunner (not biased at all of course). Very small looking but she is a little early and is a small baby to start with. healthy and that is all that matters. There is sad news to go with all of this as I am the last male of the clan and I have not produced a male. Should I chop my wifes head off??? ;)

...not my best side!

four barrel haggis is my new name. My daughters are going to cause me a whole heap of trouble. Once Miles has a University education and has his own car and a good track record then we can talk! ...oh and good honest sensible parents from whence the gene pool came from!

No stalk on the apple so to speak. I was a bit disappointed but not for long. That is the last one. ...where did I put those sissors! ARGHHHHHHHHH
 
I thought that I wanted a son, but really... I think there's something about fathers and daughters. Of course, I'm trying to influence her to be as much of a tomboy as possible... "Hey, put down that baby doll! Can you throw Daddy the baseball?"

My wife REALLY wants a girl next time. I'm cool with another boy, I really like having a son. Don't get me wrong - I'd be thrilled with a daughter, but having a boy is its own brand of fun.
 
congrats, mine is nine months old and still not sleeping through the night have fun, I sit many a nights with him 3 am and thinking of new beer mixes..
 
Gorgeous! The baby's not half bad either!:p

Congrats Dibby!

If water runs counter clockwise below the equator and your summer is in December-January, I'd hate to think where the baby come out!:D
