I'm a Dad
Joel arrived on Wednesday 7th November at 1.40pm, weighing in at a painful 9 lb 4 1/4oz.
Proud but very tired parents after 14 hours in the delivery room throughout the night following a long day before...
Dad...
Joel David John Harper-Watson...
A well earned rest for them both...
He's now trying his best to talk his dad into swapping the Octavia family car for a Forester STi

Thanks everyone. Dealing with his first bout of Colic already
We've started sleeping during the day, with him, for now
Little tyke never opens an eye until bedtime then he's awake all bloody night
He was the same in the womb.

Encourage the missus to breastfeed for the first 6 months at least. Its the best thing possible for the kid and has the added benefit of giving dad 6 months of restful nights

Reminds me of our first. Enjoy this time although it's hard it is very rewarding.
