Thread: Amazing News!

Congrats Guys. I've not been a Dad long myself and so I tell you how amazing the whole thing will be for you both.

After meeting you both last weekend I can honestly say what a lucky little squid Squid will be to have such lovley parents!

Good luck to you both!

One thing to realize and I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet, your RAD, HAD, and C(orset)AD is now being ousted by BAD. Baby Acquisition Disorder. Yes diapers, bottles, clothes, toys, clothes, toys, and more clothes will take precedence over the new blades, soaps, cremes and brushes. Your shaving towels will now be called burp cloths, the wee ones gentle bath soap will replace your shaving soap and your razors will be relegated to a high locked cabinet that you will have forgot where you put the key

Besides all that...
Congratulations to you both !!!
Being a parent is heartwarming, heartbreaking, filled with wonder, worry, amazement, astonishment, humor and best of all Love. And that's all in about 5 minutes

Right I forgot the advice;

Spike & Silver
You want to sleep
your eyes are getting very heavy
your limbs are completely tired
now go to sleeeeep!

Congratulations to both of you.

Of course now you have found out how to make children, you should know that there is a shortage of the younger generation in the United Kingdom and so it is important that you start planning now for at least three. Once you get used to no sleep etc.,etc., you will find that its best to keep producing while your in the mindset.

To be a mum and dad is a treasure that you will appreciate the longer you live.

Thank you all very, very much for your wit & wisdom!

You are a galaxy of complete stars & Squid will grow up knowng that it has a damn fine bunch of uncles looking out for its best interests. You're probably right, Dave, it will stick & probably become "Squidgy" when warranted by the toxic waste in the nappies that we are so looking forward to

All of the ADs are now on hold for a few months. Although I will be looking for a nice Boker Injun as a New Mum present for Silver (but do not tell her) Chimensch, molto grazie dottore a lei e sua moglie! (runs out of Italian) You are totally right of course & there is nothing like an Italian blessing! Sir Sidney, thankyou. Most of your imparted made me roar with laughter. Squid will probably be introduced at Razorcon 09. Especially if it's a weekend long one next time

Squid will be our first arthropod together but my second. I do have some idea of what is involved & know that sleep is something that is so rare you grab it when you can.... The rest you look back on with fondness. When you get to look back. I can't wait

Many, many HUGE congratulations on this fantastic news. I am sure you will be great parents. My wife and I are so pleased for you both and look forward to regular updates on how things are going.

Some thoughts:

1. If you have a home birth and the doctor forgets his scalpel, you will both be able to provide him with a substitute.

2. If you have a boy Spike can teach him to shave when he gets older. If you have a girl, Silver can teach her how to shave when she gets older.

3. Silver dear, there are other ways of being an SRP:UK 'how to' demonstrator. This particular how to is one that the rest of us CANNOT perform. Biologically.

4. Those attending the next SRP:UK meet up just had anything they could bring SEVERELY trumped. No amount of Zowanda or Maestro Livi with mammoth ivory scales can trump a squid.

5. Silvers profile can now justifiably be lurked on in the claim that the visitor is 'looking for baby news'.

6. With all that time at home Silver will have to take up leatherwork more aggressively and.... oh I dunno.... start to make strops?

In all seriousness guys HUGE congratulations. Here's hoping for a healthy, happy squid. You'll be a great family.

Much love

Sir Sandy - 5. Currently 770 views of my page in 3 months! Sould I be worried yet?!

6. Silver has to take thing easy for the next six weeks at least, Squid has already told me off once for overdoing things, which left me in bed for 36 excruciating hours!!! Not that I was in any pain, just don't like being confined to bed, hehehe

I've had to rest up for the last couple of day but everyone is fine, honest.

I did my back in on Thursday and have beenstuck in bed flat on my back since then. The doc says it should take between 3-7 days. I have found out that I too hate being confined to bed.

Silver and Spike: Cardiff will soon be a happier place, I'm sure! Congratulations! That's absolutely fantastic! I'm sure that the little Squid will be very welcome here in this extended family! Again, congratulations! I imagine you are filled with silly joy and you two are honing up your paental skils... Sleep all you can now... kids (particularly little Squids...) are a pain in the back end of the kilt when sleep are concerned... and I should know! I was a kid myself not long ago! Hip hip Hurra to you!

[FONT='Calibri','sans-serif']Congratulations to the both of you, not a lot I can add to what’s been said already Silver you take care of yourself and the squid [/font]

Congratulations to you both!!!!

It is all about the love and a new baby is the greatest expression of love there is. I wish you all the health and happiness there is to have and all the best for the baby. It has been more than a pleasure to share time with you in this forum and in life. Your presence is very special to our community.

Very best regards,

Lynn
