Hi all,
Just a note for everyone. My daughter decided that she couldn't wait until the 30th to become a normal 4wd nut like her Dad and graced this world with her presence at around 2pm this afternoon.
The only thing that is wrong with her is that it looks like she's inherited red hair from both sides of the family.
So thats my gloat for the day enjoy life and some days it comes back ten fold like the birth of a wonderful little girl that I have.
Cheers Kev

Congratulations on the birth of your daughter, enjoy every moment beacuase they grow up far too quick........and make sure she gets the right start in life, make sure she only drives a Nissan and follows the Saints....

The nissan bit I can handle, missus has an X Trail
but supporting the Saints, I think not.
Daughter no. 1whos nearly 3 already knows who to support. Broncos in the NRL,
Sydney in the AFL, and all Aussie sides and anyone playing the All Blacks. ha ha ha
But as long as the girls are happy and get to spend good quality time discovering Aus I think that they'll grow up and be very independent
young girls that know right from wrong and help those that need it.

How true Gramps, when she gets home from
camp I'll tell her the
grey are her fault. LOL My redhead left this morning on an
overnight camp canoeing along the
Glenelg River..... no mobile reception no showers and long drops, what a shock for some of those kids.
Congrats to your wife Kev. Suggesting that she have another one straight after childbirth isn't a good idea, Nearly as bad as the inlaws telling me the next one would be a boy when the first was still in ICU...

Mrs S,
We actually knew that we were having a girl but didn't tell anyone.
So we both knew before the birth that we were going to have another so it was very light hearted in the suggestion.
I'm at work at the moment and have just been told it's an early knock off since there is not much happening. So I'm now excited as I can give Peta her first bath I missed out with the first daughter, something about a first time Dad cant do it, yet I did it every other time when we got home. The wife has MS and couldn't hold her up high enough or for that long. So I had lots to do with the raising of her. Some nurses need to realise that some Dads are involve with the kids

Slave was very hands on when our redhead was born, including giving her the first bath at about 8 weeks( and a few more after that). Due to her being 12 weeks early and us having to go to the 'big smoke' in a hurry he had plenty of time off work. The nurses in ICU knew him much better than they knew me !
Due to a job change when our son was born Slave wasn't around as much, but I think he still gave him the first bath.
We chose not to find out the sex of the baby but to wait for the surprise. We were only having 2 no matter what sex they were !

I am the last of my family name so I feel a bit of a need to continue to allow the family name to continue.
And yes I did give Peta her 1st bath. yeah

Slave was also the last of the family name with 6 sisters so guess he decided there was no way that he was going to keep trying LOL

I might stop after the next one though,
It will get a bit hard to squeeze into a standard 4by.
Unless I buy an Ocker but I just don't like the look of them.

understatement is it? LOL I see if you analyse the dyslexia the sentence did contain 'pretty' and 'good' but was disguised in a sentence. May have been better as 'good and pretty'

"May have been better as 'good and pretty'" That may
well be the case John but it would be dangerous for me to persue that avenue any further. Mr Al is much bigger and younger than me and I have great trepidation in going any further LOL

She's holding up better than I am at the moment. I put my back out on the hospital floor playing with the eldest just a while ago.
Talk about bad luck.

Kev, that is bad luck. My memories of those times include thinking "And if you only knew what you'd put ME through !" Our last one was born while the district was having a 4 day blackout. I had our 4yo daughter to look after and I can tell you kids and candles don't mix
well.
Hope the back comes good soon.

Its actually an old injury from work that I keep doing when I get excited. Makes you wonder how I've had 2 kids hey.
The eldest took the news that the baby decided that it didn't like mums belly any more and its now her baby.
She wasn't real happy about leaving mum and baby at the hospital last night but thats was expected

The party to wet the babys head is already being planned SWMBO doesn't know about it yet, maybe I could slip it in before she comes
home so she'll be none the wiser. ha ha ha

I may just need to clean the carpets again if the party gets a little out of hand. We only got them steam cleaned on Monday.

Thanks to all for the best wishes.
Boththe girls are due to come
home tommorrow arvo so I'll have to get a good nights sleep tonight and see if I can get off work early to settle them in at
home.
Yes I know I'm still at work.
But when a baby decides to come 3 weeks early an her dads holidays don't start till Friday Arvo then it looks like I either suffer or get a new job.
