Hmph! Amateur! Wait till you catch me up. 8 kids, 17 grandkids and 4 great grandkids!
No, seriously, many, many congratulations to you both! Just make sure they grow up to be a super Sky Blue!! 🩵
Love from me and my missus!

I thought it to be apropos to mention we are now within 2 weeks of the supposed due date.

I checked the survey results, and most think the baby will be a BTA clone. Though I have some doubts, I do abide the collective wisdom of the esteemed SBT.

Fab news and Congratulations - I have voted girl. My daughter has turned 19 and seems to have become the font of all knowledge and turns out I know nothing about anything. So I hope I am right as knowing how much I am enjoying being a Dad during her teenage years...I really wouldn't want you to miss out on the gift that just keeps fecking giving!!.

Well well well,
Things moved quickly!

We are now at hospital and expecting a delivery likely in just a few hours!

Wish us luck and I'll provide an update tomorrow. I'm likely otherwise to miss the Boro game, so give 'em hell.

And It's a girl!

She was born a few hours ago. Mom and baby happy and healthy, now in an overnight room. So, she arrived about 2 weeks ahead of schedule, and the wife just went into some extremely quick labor, and took only three pushes to arrive which I'm told was rather quick. She might be a superhero?

Happy for the support from you lot.

I had twin boys in 2019 and we gave them traditional old names (Malcolm & Kenneth) There’s a Brian in their class this year so I think it’s catching on and nice to see.

Great way to start the day. I hope all three of you are doing well, from memory it's all a bit of a whirlwind.

Go out and grab all of today's newspapers now, or get one of the family to do it. Always a bit of a memento when they get old enough to appreciate it.

You've just moved from being your mother's son, to being her granddaughter's father. Get used to the slight change in pecking order.

All joking aside, brilliant news mate, take some time to enjoy it.

Can't beat a traditional name, though for some reason my son isn't keen on Æthelred these days. Says his teachers find it hard to spell. His sister, Æthelflæd, never complained...

Bet he was a right pain trying to get him out of the door for school in the morning. Bag not packed, homework not done, no idea where his school clothes are....

Ah just seen this...congrats @JohnWH. Assuming it's your first, welcome to the club.

The best job ever. Even though my two still wake me up literally every night to put either put their fairy lights on or take them to the toilet for a shit. Still, better than doing it in their bed I suppose!

I hope mum and baby are doing well. Get some rest before they come home and support your wife as much as you can (which I'm sure you will!). What a ride you're in for! All the best man.

Thanx so much! Already been an adventure and it’s only been a few days. Her grandparents (mother's side) are on their way for their first visit as we speak, wish us luck!

But, but, but, I plan for her to be an unmarried, chaste Catholic nun.
That's reasonable insofar as I am concerned....
