Congratulations Cultured Bogan - Baby Boy!

[Cultured_Bogan]

Yeah it's going well. I won't lie that it has been very tough and trying but I've noticed a few things:

- I can tolerate crying now. Well, his. I still cringe at other children but his doesn't seem to bother me;
- Dirty nappies don't gross me out, nor does being peed or pooed on (see Geo's post above😉
- He's a bit more durable than I expected. You're gentle with them, but you realise just how strong they can be at times so you learn that you don't have to carry them around like a delicate flower;
- I love being around him. I cherish all the time I have got to spend with him and I will find it hard to leave him and the wife at home when I go back to work;
- My wife is a natural mother. She was very iffy with newborn children (was always great with toddlers though,) prior to baby CB, but as soon as he was born it was like a switch flipped. She is great around him;
- It's settled me as a person. He has taught me patience.

I'm actually enjoying this phase, even though he doesn't interact too much it's nice to see him need/want us so much.

If people offer you hand me downs, in clothing etc, accept them all.
can never have enough clothes. if you are given other stuff as well, take it.
enjoy this time, it's great fun.

CB ,stay away from Hi-5…....as Beau can attest it leads to disaster. Good luck with your little one, they bring you joy like nothing else can (well maybe a certain lazy October Sunday in 2005 was pretty bloody special too!).

Good on you mate. As a proud father of 3 boys I remember those first few weeks. You'll really start to enjoy him when he starts crawling. Embrace the experience mate, it's the best
