still not totally sunk in and such a horrible feeling being at home alone - damn hopeless father - feeling a little useless, but mum has it all under control at the hospital! - i just cleaned the house woo!

[PaulyJ]

you might want to upgrade your signature now... hehehe

[Alfonzo]

of course she's cute (and you can't say she is ugly - thats just un-australian!)

signature updated....

she has my flatish nose - but so do all bubs really... but she has dark dark eyes like me - give it a few days to settle down.... i'd rather she looked like her mum, she's better looking!

i do have the ugly pics of the cord being cut - my god that thing is ****ing thick and tough!!!

[platypus]

congrats dude, you and mr t will have to organise an arranged marriage for your kids ;)that idea is just too bizarre to think about!! - and if daddy has anything to with it she will be a mechanic anyway....

[trickle]

Congrats man!

Baby and Mum look well!
I know what you meen about feeling weird being at home alone, I went through the same thing. How long will the girls be in the Hospital?

I'm expecting my second daughter at the start of December....the fun starts again but I wouldnt have it any other way!

[MK]

[Mr T]

my god her eyes are sooo blue!!!!

I don't mean to disapoint, but all babies are born with blue eyes...they may stay blue but they could change at about 6 months old...

you wont be able to take enough photos, I know I can't...:eek:

Except for negro babies?

i think its a cool thing, i am pretty sure almost all mammals are born with blue eyes, i know dogs and cats are :D (try explain this to your missus when she buys a puppy cos he had the bluest eyes of the litter...only for her to seriously contemplate complaining to the petshop when the pups eyes went brown!! lol...aaaahhh some girls are so funny)


not had one of these little guy's myself yet.. not too sure how i feel about it...
