| Gonna be a father soon... It's so scary but I can't wait. Due date for my daughter is 27th August, but I'm on high alert from the 27th July. Just about got the nursery sorted and put all the baby clothes away tonight all ready. Really exciting. We're thinking of calling her Amelie Ostara Sarisse (an acute over the 1st E in Amelie), but we may change the two middle names. If you see me disappear for two weeks shortly you'll know why!

| Re: Gonna be a father soon... Nice one All you need to do now is pull all-nighter's playing games and having a few hours sleep each day to get into training for when the little one comes. ---- Why do Computer Scientists get Halloween and Christmas mixed up? Because Oct. 31 = Dec. 25. |

| Re: Gonna be a father soon... also, remember that once the baby is born, the most important person in the house is..............................your wife NOT the baby. if wife is happy / fed / taken care of etc, then baby is happy too other way around is a recipe for disaster/ depression etc. |

| Re: Gonna be a father soon... Congratulations, and good luck. My little 'en was born 2 weeks ago tomorrow, and so far it's very hard work - although I get much more sleep than the wife - not sure how she copes... |

| Re: Gonna be a father soon... I remember my first being born. As soon as it happened a 'wave' seemed to pass over my body from head to toe that felt like whatever happens I must protect child. Very strange experience. |
