Spaniard, all I can say is enjoy it. It really is a life altering experience to hold your own baby for the first time, one you can only desribe and understand once youve been there. Other than that take it easy and go with how you feel in a situation, also remember they dont know anything yet and all they want is to feel comfy safe and fed :). If you get that 3 rite you should be made.
I also hope your as lucky as us thus far, hes cried all of about 5 or 6 times I think. Other than that just little grunts and small sounds nothing screaming and gut wrenching like youd expect, I guess were lucky and I hope it stays that way...
 
AHHH Congtrats Buddy!!! i know exactly how you feel , i was just there one year ago, its incredible, the funniest part is the thumbsucking, we have pictures of the ultrasound with him sucking his finger, before he was even born :)
welcome Henre

Congratulations Henrè, you three look so sweet together! :inlove
This is really the best of life (apart from spearfishing! :)) and really, get ready for the biggest joys to come.
Now my best wishes: I wish your baby to be the type that sleeps at night (my baby does not), the type that laughs a lot (mine does), the type that loves daddy :)inlove no need to ask...).

congrats mate!

My third will be born in 6 weeks, so I am prepping for "sleep deprivation" by staying out late with my spearo buddies and drinking too much. You won't find that chapter in the "new parent" guide books, but believe me, it should be there...
