HEY MAN....sorry Im late!!! well done and congrats....bahahah David...400 kids my arse. As a bloke who's last 2 kids DIDNT sleep...its hard yakka mate. My son didnt sleep for 2 years and Kailani looks like she will be doing the same...thank goodness I work in the bush LOL. As daverave said, just calm down, step back, deep breath and go for it. You WILL have some tussles with the missus...of course she has just been through a lot.
Look out for post natal depression mate...best thing to do (if your job permits)..is lots of relaxing baths for her...with the old bath salts and some nice music. You will have to learn to change the nappies...and trust me the organic ones can be bloody horrible LOL, but you get used to it.
And no you smartarse Im not busy in the city of children...Im in the bush watching a cyclone form up just out of the town Im in...jeeezzzzz.
Dont worry mate, when he cries you will bloody hear it, trust me. My missus was back home within 24 hours and I was knackered...but everytime she woke...so did I, though I didnt have a boob with 30 litres of milk in it LOL so I could doze off.
Mate if you need any advice, just give me or daverave a call man, we both have 5 kids man...A Tale of Two Cities...bahahahah. Dont panic, is the big word, ask Mums and Nannas...DONT believe all the bullshit you hear and see on the internet...I was like that at first...dont do it. Trust your gut instinct man, and DONT believe what some of the medicos may tell you. My Jules has had plenty of stoushes with them, she trusted her instinct and went to her OWN trusted Doctor....keep that in mind.
Fare thee well new parents, enjoy the complexity of a new life....they are hard work...but good to have.
Cheers Bullet
