I'm a Dad
« on: March 26, 2010, 08:21:35 am »
Hi All

Just letting all on the forum know that my Wife gave birth to our son Edward Angus :} :-)) this morning at 11:14. He weighed in at 3.8kgs and is 52cm long. I am a dad for the first time and am a little scared at the unknown %%.

Regards David

Congratulations to all the family!

Don't be worried the good times are more frequent and better than the down times. You should look on it as a great opportunity to build and sail more boats.

Just lock your cheque book away.

Edward Angus, eh? Why do I get the feeling that a certain Aussie guitarist had some sway in that?

Way to go, Amigo. Congratulations to both you and your good lady.

Congrats to you both David :-)) don't let 'the unknown' worry you - remember ---- you were it once! A family really can be the most rewarding fruit of life, I know, and it's brill.
                Anyway if we could see the future there'd be no fun in it AND we'd all probably be s**tt**g ourselves!  {:-{
     Sincere best wishes and kind regards,
                                                           Tony.

Thanks all for all the kind words. After a good nights sleep I feel a little bit more at ease at the challenges ahead. Will have Edward starting on building a good size boat in no time :-)).

Congratulations to you and your wife, David. Make the most of your son as a child as they grow up all too quickly  <:( . You may have a few sleepless nights ahead, but it's all worth it. Being a father (and later on, a grandfather) is one of the greatest experiences you can have  :-))

Thanks again guys. Yes Tassie48 I have already laid done the law on Ford as well as Queensland in the State of Origin and he will have to be a Titans fan or Broncos and I would accept the Cowboys.

David, I'm shocked  :o any true blue Gold Coaster would never support the Broncos, the Cowboys maybe, but the Broncos are the team the Titans want to beat more than any other in the NRL.

Hi Peter

I was a long time Bronco fan and still am. But I always support my local team I even supported the Giants, Seagulls and Chargers. But I think we have a real success story with the Titans on and off the field. Any team from Queensland is OK but if it was from NSW I would certainly have words. {-) {-) {-)

Congratulations to you and your wife David, rasing a child can be hard but is certainly the most rewarding when you see your youngster grow to be a responsible active adult applying all the skills & talents learned from you & your wife along lifes path.
