Maybe after a month or so. Gonna have to hold 3 new borns next year and getting a bit anxious thinking about it.

Plus you’d have been a lot younger than I am now when they were really hard work, so more physically able to cope.

I see what you mean about being more laid back. First time round you’re bricking it, wondering if you’ve done the wrong thing all the time. I remember getting back from the hospital and me and my other half saying “what the fuck do we do now?”

CONGRATULATIONS

You’ll be fine mate, just make sure you keep their heads supported and it’ll be fine

proper boring

I like being able to hand them back when they start crying.

Oh, come on - it took nine months years and years ago. Surely we’ve made the process more efficient now?

I remember being in a buggy with plastic covering and enjoying the raindrops on the plastic and the sound and way they trickled down.

I remember blue curtains in my childhood home looking like an old lady in a big coat.

I remember some weird like kaleidoscopic colour and sound stuff that I’m assuming was from the womb or maybe I got really high as a baby

Me too DazBaz, mate. Me too.

when my 1st was born I was 24 and had never even held a baby until then. It’s amazing how you just get on with it though

I remember bringing her home from the hospital so well. I lay her down on the carpet for a mo when we got in from the hospital and lay down facing her - and she sort of reached over her little hand to my face and looked right at me and :heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes:
