There's an old saying mate... "A woman becomes a mum when she finds out that she is pregnant... a man becomes a dad when he holds the baby"

It's such an adrenalin rush at the time... and trust me, you're probably so wired you wont sleep much tonight.

Completely normal... go with it!

Congrats to you and your missus 23!
I remember when the doc lifted my son out into the world for the first time just 2 years ago. He was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.
I'm sure you're feeling exactly the same way about 23 junior. :)

Mate that is simply awesome. Congrats! You'll have to post some photos once you have him rugged up in Sharks gear haha.

That gives me an idea actually, especially the Sharks for life bit. Sharks should offer a special membership package for babies, just sort of a token life membership that dads can buy their newborns, and it could come with some sharks baby clothes and stuff like that too.

not in the shire anymore :(
give your missus a pat on the back from all of us! becoming a Dad is the best thing I've done, but I don't envy all the hard work that motherhood is.

Good job mate - don't let them tell you that you didn't do anything! All the best for you and your new family. By the way, we always need more Sharks fans. When is the next one due?:p

PS: Remember sleep? You won't soon! Good luck!:)

Well done mate and congratulations to you and the missus...they say that patience is a prerequisite for any new parent and as a Sharkies fan you obviously have that in spades! ;)
