Hi folks,
I'm Mike I'm 30 self employed from Lancashire and live with my OH in our home and we are expecting our first child at the end of August.
The last 7 months have been pretty tough and I will challenge anyone who says differently! We have had more arguments in the last 3 months than the whole 18months we have been together!.
But I'm sure it's going to be worth it, I love my Fiance very much and I'm hoping to have a happy life as a family once my baby boy decides to make an entrance!.
Anyway enough of me babbling!.
just saying Hi!!!
Mike
Hi Mate,
Welcome to DadTalk. Hormones and the stress of expecting will do that to a relationship - but it is worth it in the end, I promise. Congratulations - I can't wait to read you posts.
Gooner :ugeek:
Check out the Baby's First Calendar competition on the site. The prize might be ideal for you.
Hello Mike.
OK, first of all, tell yer missus to keep her legs crossed until September; when your little Mikey or Mikette goes to school, they'll be the oldest in the class instead of the youngest. Mind you, they'll be at home for an extra year before even going to school and then at the other end, they won't leave home for a whole extra year. Confused myself now. Forget what I just said.
In my experience pregnancies are always difficult. The trouble is, as a dad, you want to help and be a part of it and you can, to a point ...but you always feel just a little bit on the outside. You will make it and soon you will become three and it is wonderful. Your life is going to change, but for the better. It is hard work, but it's worth it. Most of all, it is wonderful; even the [censored] bits are wonderful.
Sit back and enjoy it. Listen to all the advice that is going to get thrown your way (some wanted, some unwanted). Sift through it and pick out the bits that sound useful and then throw the rest away and do it your own way.
Good luck!
