Holy crap, I'm a Dad!!! *Week 6*

[spunwicked]

It all sounds on course, that's great

Mate, I am slightly jealous - going through the whole thing was so bloody exciting, you are in for the experience of a lifetime, just keep hold of your hat!

 

[MadMike'86]

My hat is held firmly on for now

From what I've seen and heard, the best is yet to come

 

[MadMike'86]

A little update for you all

The Nursery is finished!! Check it out......


















And here is MrsMad's Bump...impressive eh?




Things are moving ahead!

 

[axletramp]

Looks awesome Mike, nice work. 👍



... room looks good too.

 

[mattythedog]

Cor, lovely room! I wish my room was that good. 👍

 

[MadMike'86]

Thanks guys

White... perfect color. Makes it that much more memorable the first time the kid starts to paint on the walls. We've been planning on repainting for years, but we don't want to lose the awesome baby art.

 

[MarcoM]

Birds sitting on parts of the room is really nicely done.

Whohoo the mrs looks fine too. Win for stretch in clothing

 

[spunwicked]

Looks awesome Mike!

Bet your wallet hurts

Nice room. I'm slightly down on the fact that your unborn child has a better bedroom than me!

Well we rent so I hope the "wall art" will be kept to a minimum

Unless I tape white paper to the walls? 💡

Thanks, and amazingly the "pirched birds" idea was mine

Thanks Shem, I share your feelings in that regard, as it is probably the nicest room in the house, also I counted up all her clothes and she has more than double the amount of outfits I do!

Looks awesome Mike!

Thanks mate, and yes, it does!

Especially after this thing:



We already had the buggy frame, seat, car seat, and car seat dock thingy, we just thought we may as well have the full travel system so brought this moses basket thingy.
If we had brought all that from the shops it would be over £550, but my brother worked for mothercare's logistics company and got it for under £200

Yes... But you'll have fewer clothes ruining accidents... Oh, I see you've spilled mustard on your shirt.

Speaking of clothes ruining accidents, how on earth do they manage to get it all the way up their backs?

not entirely sure, but they certainly manage it!

Thanks for that, I just lost my appetite for breakfast.

 

[Mrs. Famine]

We have that problem daily at the moment. I can provide pics if you like

Its smell-o-vision that would really knock them all out

Its like burnt vinegar mixed with tikka and ammonia. Niiiice.

.....Or an average kebab where I live

 

[MadMike'86]

Oh the joys of imminant parental responsibility

Pushchairs are the bane of my life, my missus has gone through nearly 20 of them by now looking for the "one". Its an expensive hobby!

On another note, she makes a pushchair accessory that fits the Quinny Buzz if you're interested:

Yay, we had a Quinny, except it was the black and grey carbon fibre one - well I thought it looked like carbon fibre. Outlasted any of the other prams/pushchairs we used. 👍

Yeah Quinny's are the best, but cost a bomb
Still, I got it cheaper than anyone else could, it's brandnew the Buzz 3, and only cost me £50!

I've been meaning to post here, my wife had our baby a month ago. It is an adventure that's for sure.

 

[axletramp]

Congratulations! You kept that quiet.

Congrats!!! I hope all is going well.



As for push chairs: Bugaboo. Yes a bit more expensive. But secondhand they are doable. These are so well thought and designed. Really clever.

For example: foam tyres instead of inflatable tyres. And yes, I had two punctures on our former pushcar. Due too the smallish wheel size, it is not a joy to repair.
