Hello everyone, just going to give a brief introduction.
I answer to Baz or Neil, either will be fine, i'm 26 from South Wales and yes i've heard all the sheep jokes so try and keep them original 
My partner is in the second trimester of the pregnancy with her third and my first biological child. She has two kids ( 3 & 5) from a previous relationship, who i've taken on in the time i've been about (over two years to give you a time frame).
Despite having the two elder kids, the whole pregnancy thing is all new to me, so I used google to my advantage to find a place I can use, given my partner uses so many for mums, I had to find one for dads 😆
Look forward to contributing to the forum 🙂
Hi Baz
Welcome aboard fella.
We've all been there mate. My oldest is now 7 and I have a 5 year old too. Both boys , both a handful!
Looking forward to hearing how the whole thing goes for you. Check out Simons Wed blog, He started blogging for us just before his son was born so you can read another man’s journey. I'm you and I can discuss the highs and lows or having a 5 year old too!
Do check out the child dev section here
keep us updated.
Hi Baz
Another two boys here - a little bit older at 14 and 11 - watching them grow up is great, knowing that they are not so dependent on you is tough but they are developing into young men and I intend to support them on their journey.
Welcome to the site and feel free to join in

May aswell bump this one instead of starting new.
Been away for well over a year as I jumped into the new baby thing head first and put everything onto the back burner.
The baby is now one and is coming on leaps and bounds, the two step kids are still being super hard work are now 7 and 5.
I've found myself coming back this forum purely because i'm feeling alone with my fathering. My so called mates have little interest in discussing family life and things like that, ideas I suggest to the wife are pretty much shut down straight away so I am slowly getting to the end of my tether before I completely blow.
Will be sticking around now so hope to see you all around the forum again.
