Just thought I'd sign up after having a browse through the forums. I'm due to be a new dad on the 28th October, next Monday! Got a little girl on the way and can't wait to meet her.

I've got some questions, which I'm going to ask hopefully in the correct areas! Hopefully I can help with any questions that people may have themselves from what I've experienced so far with my wife's pregnancy.

Cheers

Hi Ellis,

Welcome to DAD. Wow a little girl due on Monday - congrats for Monday mate. Bet you can't wait.

How's mum doing? Are you all prepared and ready (bet you are)? Have you decided on a name yet?

Feel free to ask any questions you like.

Gooner

Mum to be is tired, can't wait to give birth now though.

All the nursery and a mountain of nappies are at hand! Yeah, we have a name - Isla.

Xarker,

Isla is a lovely name mate.

How are you feeling ? nervous? excited? a mixture I would imagine.

Have you checked out all the birth info we have on the site? it's located here in our expecting section.

Gooner

Baby was estimated for today being her due date and the wife hasn't gone into labour. The first one is always late, right? I just want her to come out now! :o(

Aw... Girls are usually early, it's boys that are late.

It's such a waiting game, the last month of pregnancy is trying enough!

I'm sitting here at work waiting for the call. Really anxious!

Question what did any of the dad's pack for the hospital bag for themselves? Change of clothes? Toothbrush and a flannel to freshen up? Does that sound about right? Wifey has all hers done!
