Oh how gorgeous, Ed! I know I don't *really* need to say this, but you're taking lots of photos, aren't you?
NB one thing my French niece in law said to me - they didn't have very many photos of all three of them, that's important too.
Hope you all have a restful night tonight.2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -

Glad to hear Juliet and I presume Mrs. E are home. I hope Mrs. E is well. Enjoy parenthood, both of you.
It's all very exciting but if things start to become difficult, remember it gets easier (in my humble opinion). Both my wife and I didn't enjoy the baby stage much but I think I'd do it all again if given a choice (Mrs. K wouldn't though :rotfl:).2018 totals:

Congratulations! Enjoy your family time over the next few weeks (and months and years!) 0

Oh Lord, the first night! Got her down at 03:30 after 6 vests, 2 sleep suits, 7 cloths and enough nappies to make a small boat sail :coffee:0

Is Mrs E breastfeeding? If so Ed, make sure you are fetching her plenty of food that's easy to eat with one hand, and also drinks while she spends the next 6 weeks with a baby attached to her boob. They feed A LOT to start with, it can be almost constant, and this is NORMAL. (but exhausting) It makes you hungry, but the thirst, oh god the thirst. Make sure you do your bit and keep Mrs E topped up 0
