Hi guys I don't get much chance to post on here and now I'll get even less but I just wanted to share with you all the birth of our son.
Meet Samuel guys!

He was born on 13/102015 at 9:41am and was 8lbs 1oz. He's our first child and was 10 years in the making. Can't wait until I can try and get him interested in aircraft and simming!

Lol no we've been trying for 10 years. We had been accepted for IVF on Feb 5th and found out that my wife was already pregnant on the 15th so all those tests and we didn't need it in the end. Again thank you all.

Very apt as I'm a huge Star Wars fan and We've done the nursery on a Star Wars theme.

Remember that thing you used to have called 'free time'?

Oh now, you may find you have MORE free time since you won't be leaving the house much.
They don't do a whole lot for a while yet. LOL
Congrats! Hope mom and baby are doing well.

That's what happened to us as well. After going through all the ivf stuff 3 times with bad results (lost 1 baby at the end of the first trimester and 2 duds) we got pregnant on our own.


Congrats on your 1st child! No free time anymore but who cares as long as you see them smile in the morning.

Congrats !


Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.
