Sounds like a plan.

Well, I did say I'd probably disappear at the end of the year, but it was for different reasons this time (no broadband for 2 months, eck). But I finally got it reinstalled so I thought I'd drop by.

Here he is [img]smile.gif[/img]

You women can have the whole birth experience, having to watch the mrs go through that was enough for me. She was in labor for about 16 hours and they had to induce it, but he still had a hard time trying to come out. They did make a small mistake though, they put her on the epidural very early into it, so by the time she actually had to push him out, it had almost completely worn off, so they had to give her three boosts of pain killers.

We're both lucky, he's a really good baby. Only time he cries is when he's hungry, even when he craps himself, he just goes back to sleep :rolleyes:

As for the lack of sleep (and strength), constantly watching him and such, it's all worth it so nwah to you non-believers [img]tongue.gif[/img]

See you around guys.

Cute kid Gangrell, congrats dude. Nice to see you around again. Give my best to ms. Gangrell. :D

Awww how nice of you that you named him after me!! My names are Michiel Alexander, which is Michael Alexander in English.. :D

Thanks very much man! I never thought you liked me that well!! ;)

<font face="Verdana" size="3" color="#009999">Congratulations!! The first two months are the hardest, feedings every two to three hours, 24 hours a day. After that they tend to sleep through the night and you get some of your time back. It is all worth it though.</font>

Congrats! Michael looks like he's going to steal the hearts of grandparents easily, and the young ladies later :D

Just remember to schedule time for you and the Mrs. to sleep... even if you have to invite people over and then go to bed. Grandparents enjoy that kind of thing... usually ;)

And while some kids sleep through the night early on (like my daughter), others don't... like my son... :D

Just enjoy whatever life brings you.

Cool, enjoy it while it lasts. In about 15 years, you'll be praying for 3am feedings again...

Aww, he's adorable, Gangrell! Congrats to you and his mama. [img]smile.gif[/img] I hope all is going well for your family now. Take lots of pics, they grow up fast!

Nice lookin kid. Where in gods name did he get that from. ;)

Well, the mrs didn't really go for the name 'Ganon' :rolleyes:

@ Mack: His mother [img]tongue.gif[/img]

@ Robert: Yeah, I know what you mean. I was looking through the family photo album the other day and thought, "It's going to be a shame when he grows up."

@ Bungleau: Actually, he sleeps pretty well already. Slept for 8-9 hours straight last night, but the first night we brought him home, he stayed up until 7 am, because he doesn't like his crib, he sleeps in the car seat.

Had fun the other night, came home from work and he threw up on me like Linda Blair.

Ahh, fatherhood [img]tongue.gif[/img]

The true sign of fatherhood is *not* getting thrown up on. It's when you run, with arms outstretched and hands cupped, trying to catch it as its being thrown up... :D
