Well, 5 days late, after a 10 hour labour, my lovely wife delivered our first baby! James Michael Wait was born this morning at 7:15 at a spritely 8lb,13oz(just over 4kg). Delivered naturally, without drugs! Both mother and baby are very healthy and happy although tired. Dad is absolutely knackered after a big night of having his hand crushed. I'll try and get some pics up over the next couple of days.

The day was bright and sunny The wind had hardly blown It was like nature was holding its breath Our baby was coming home. I strapped the capsule in carefully I checked every strap and belt This was a monumentous occasion But it was the most nervous that I'd felt. Did I strap her in correctly? Flippin' bloomin' bloody heck I'd better just take a moment To stop and have a check. Did I strap her in correctly? Flippin' bloomin' bloody heck I'd better just take a moment To stop and have a check. I pulled out so very carefully Checked the traffic both ways I checked the traffic once again Adding to my wife's dismays. Did I strap her in correctly? Flippin' bloomin' bloody heck I'd better just take a moment To stop and have a check. The speed limit was set at 60 I did 40 to be sure But perhaps that was too slow So, I added a little more. I indicated with lots or warning Braked very carefully Used my mirrors more than ever before And was as careful as I could be. Did I strap her in correctly? Flippin' bloomin' bloody heck I'd better just take a moment To stop and have a check. Did I strap her in correctly? Flippin' bloomin' bloody heck I'd better just take a moment To stop and have a check. We arrived home without disaster I lifted the capsule from the car Carried it upstairs without incident And released our little star. Put her in her little bed A crease across my brow I wondered what I should be doing What does one do now? I looked at my darling wife She smiled ruefully at me I asked her what we should do now She suggested a coffee. The more things change, the more they stay the same. You'll be awesome parents. Cheers

Cheers mate, sounds a lot like our first trip home, only we had to come from the bay.
I got to the car(which was a decent walk from the entrance) and remembered that I own a dark blue car which, while sitting in the say, may as well be black. So I opened the windows and got the air con cranking, then went to put him in his capsule, only to realise it was set for a much bigger baby. Mum spent 10 minutes calming her poor little boy in the passenger seat while dad fixed the capsule. Got him in and realised we had nothing to stop his head from flopping about. Mum sat next to him the whole way home, trying to stop his head from moving. Then a half hours trip home on the bumpy bay rd. Fortunately, he enjoyed it. I didn't. But, he is settled at home now. First night was a bit rough but we are passed that. He is asleep on mum's front while she sleeps on her back.
