[MEGOMONSTER]

[Chris79]

[Stropp]

Congrats mate, that's great news for you three. Hope it alls goes well mate.

[Dhuck]

Congrats guys. Hope you look forward to the next 18 odd years. lol. Thats great news.

[Avo]

congrats to you both,life will never be the same..

[Clunk]

Bloody great news mate, very special times ahead........ Congrats to you both

[mudski]

Congrats matt, awesome news... You will definitely know you alive when lil' bubs is around. Because you will be a wake more than asleep. My first never slept a full night until she was 4 1/2... Now I can't get her out of bed.

[Family4x4]

Congrats.

You can start to prepare, set your alarm clock to go off in 3 hr intervals. Unless you are really tired make it go off just as you fall asleep.

[Gecko17]

Congrats mate. I wish you and Sheree all the best. Kids may be a handful but you'd never give them back....

[mudski]

Congrats mate. I wish you and Sheree all the best. Kids may be a handful but you'd never give them back....
You got that bloody right. My two screaming banshee's give me the irrits when they are home, but when they're at school or I'm away, I miss them like crazy. Dunno about you guys but I was a blubbering mess when my two first came into the world.

[GU CAMPER]

Congrats Matt and Sharee
Enjoy

[jack]

Well there goes life as you know it!
Congratulations to you both, this will give you an interest other than the mighty Nissan.

Only advice I can give is, you need to train them early. When the baby wakes at night pretend to be asleep, Sheree will eventually wake and will eventually be trained.:p

Only joking, but a baby will change your life - for the better, enjoy.

[threedogs]

wish both of you all the best.
now get a lock for the shower door lol

[Oldmate1]

congratulations mate
are you going to find out what your having. i didn't for my 2 as there are not many surprises in life nothing beats that feeling of seeing
your kid for the first time

[Alitis007]

Congrats to you both!! You gotta be pretty happy with yourself Matty, you now know 'IT' works!! :D

[fracster]

Best of luck to all mate.

[Sir Roofy]

Must be them fruitloops you keep eating
congrats to you both mate

[Stropp]

[nissannewby]

congratulations mate
are you going to find out what your having. i didn't for my 2 as there are not many surprises in life nothing beats that feeling of seeing
your kid for the first time

Yeah it looks like it is a boy but we will know for sure at the next scan. The girl wanted to find out as she wants to be prepared as she can be before he comes along. And as I said they could have got it wrong and we will know in 8 weeks time :).

[nissannewby]

Must be them fruitloops you keep eating
congrats to you both mate
thats put an end to barrel racing for
a while

Only until the bub comes along then it will be all barrels mate. Believe it or not that trip was the last time I had fruit loops lol.

[growler2058]

I missed this!
Congrats to both of you mate!!!
Don't listen to the horror sleepless nights yarns mate
I slept fine.........wife ave 2-3hrs a night for the first year but I kinda didn't notice till she'd bite my face off every waking 30seconds hahajahahaha

[2TROLLFAM]

WOOHOOO!!!!! Congratulations guys - your first is so exciting & scarey .... My 'baby' who is #3 is nearly 9 now. The time flies so make the most of every minute xXx

And pfffft to sleepless nights - it doesn't last long

[TPC]

WOOHOOO!!!!! Congratulations guys - your first is so exciting & scarey .... My 'baby' who is #3 is nearly 9 now. The time flies so make the most of every minute xXx

That's not true, my second kid is 27 and still causing me to have sleepless nights.

[2TROLLFAM]

That's not true, my second kid is 27 and still causing me to have sleepless nights.

BWAHAHAHA we have 19, 16, 12 & 9yr olds - I only have to start counting to 3 and they ALL go deathly quiet ... I am the ultimate power LOL

But must admit Miss 19 didn't sleep through till she was 6mths old

[cgm]

Congrats Matt, good times.

Talking about surprises, some friends did have a good surprise last year. They "found out" and had everything decked out in pink for their little girl and then a handsome little man arrived instead. :) You can find out, but you've got keep the options a little open. To be honest it took them a few weeks to adjust and all the teasing they got almost got on top of the new Mum. From my side I did think it was pretty funny!

[Yendor]

Congratulations Matt and Sharee. It's great to hear some good news. I wish you both all the best.

Cheers Rodney

[Wine_maker]

Congratulations nissannewby!

That's great news mate! As a father of 2 children I can tell you: "Let's the fun begins!"

All the best to you and your family!

[mudski]

But must admit Miss 19 didn't sleep through till she was 6mths old

Feck your lucky! Our first kid was 4 1/2 until she had hers, and ours, first full nights sleep.

[2TROLLFAM]

Feck your lucky! Our first kid was 4 1/2 until she had hers, and ours, first full nights sleep.

There would have been blood shed if that had happened to me LOL

[Stropp]

My son woke very hr on the hr for the first yr :( boy that was hard, maybe now he is havin his a bit of payback lol

[macca86]

Big congratulations to you both. We know how exciting it all is as we had a scan on Wednesday and found out we were 10 weeks along, we have known since week four but kept it quiet.
For those that don't know our situation we were told we were going to need ivf to conceive so this is a little miracle for us.
We are going to the Wesley for our baby where are you guys going?
Another 2 kids to the patrol forum family!

[AB]

My son woke very hr on the hr for the first yr :( boy that was hard, maybe now he is havin his a bit of payback lol

Don't scare the young man...lol

[macca86]

It's ok AB it's the wife's duty to tend to baby through the night and a mans job to go to work to pay for the little bundle of joy and when he gets home tend to baby to give mamma a break.

[AB]

I will give one bit of advice Matty...


Keep your new born away from anyone who is sick for the first few months. The crap our family has gone through in the last couple of weeks in and out of hospital and the poor little bugger is still going through hell...

I should of paid more attention to my daughter who was real crook giving the new born sneaky kisses and touching her mouth etc...Nightmare!

[DX grunt]

It's ok AB it's the wife's duty to tend to baby through the night and a mans job to go to work to pay for the little bundle of joy and when he gets home tend to baby to give mamma a break.

There are many posts that I could add my 2c worth, but I chose Macca's. lol

All my 4 boys were born by caesaerean.

My routine was.....when the wife heard the baby wake up, I'd get woken up, got out of bed, fetched bubs, took it back to bed so the missus could feed him, and she'd wake me up to burp bubs and put him back to bed, then I'd have a bit more sleep and then go to work. BTW, I was a shift worker. lol.

Then there was the vacuuming, hanging and picking the washing, dishes. Our first two were cloth nappies and the last 2 were disposables.

I was sick of cleaning the nappies and dry reaching at the same time during the transition period of milk to solids. lol

The missus used to scrub the shower until the first caesear, and I've been doing it ever since!!!!!

Anyway, congrats Matt and Sharee. All the best for this life changing journey.

Take care out there.

Get your own thread :p (kidding).

Mate that is awesome news I know how exciting it is without what having been told what you guys were told. It is ever so sweet but with that mate it would just be the cherry on top. Congratulations mate and all the very best. Having met yourself and your better half it will be a beautiful kid.

[nissannewby]

Don't scare the young man...lol

It takes a bit to scare me Andy but this does have me a little nervous. Give me a 4wd hanging off the edge of a cliff lol. I don't know how to describe it but they are good nervs.

[macca86]

I hope you got the missus some stuff for mothers day. I got some muslin wraps and cot stuff for Jenni today it's kinda making it all real now. Does the missus have any big cravings or stuff like that yet? Jenni is driving me nuts with eating chicken and putting mayo on things and I can't let her cook as I don't like eating salt

[nissannewby]

No big cravings just very specific ones. We are at 14 weeks now :) and next scan is all booked in. We got the results from the last blood test and scans on Friday and all is spot on :). We have started receiving clothes and all sorts we have a few friends who have very young children so we are surprisingly getting given a bit of stuff. Prams, cots etc.

[gaddy]

I hope all this means I won't be the only one to take the family on the next glasshouse trip ,

Congrats to all of ya ,

[PMC]

Hi everyone.

Bit of an exciting time and being that it's 12 weeks we can break the news :). Sharee and I are having our first :).

First scan was today and everything is looking spot on :).

Cheers.

G'day Matt,

I formally would like to say congratulations on your great news.

If you notice the time is 3.30am, both Ally and I are still awake due 15 month old Ryan being sic. Unfortunately, the poor little bugger is suffering from a cold and is pushing through his back molar teeth.

He has kept us a wake for the last two nights. Mate, it is all good fun. lol

PS, come back down and stay with us for a week-end and Ally and I will leave him with both you and Sharee for some practice and field testing so you know what you are in for. lol

Kind regards,

Paul

[Hodge]

[nissannewby]

Small update. We had some photos done by the lady at the hospital who just wanders around and takes pics of all the new borns.

I also forgot to mention that after Sharee's 26hr marathon effort it ended with an emergency c section. This resulted in Sharee losing quite a bit of blood however not enough that she required a transfusion. She is going well considering she doesn't like needles.

We are still at the hospital for now and will hopefully have the family at home tomorrow and Sharee can finally get some much need rest and comfort.

Thank you to everyone for their kind words and wishes.

[Stropp]

well done again Matt, great looking kid mate goodluck and heres hoping to a happy healthy baby and mother when they get home.

Hey Matt how is your youngun and the missus?

[nissannewby]

Hey Matt how is your youngun and the missus?

Going well mate. He is nearly 3 weeks old now and god he has grown and feeds like crazy lol. Apparently feeds like I did when I was his age :). We have settled into a nice routine which sees me doing the late shift and mum gets the early shift from about 5 am. Which means we have been averaging 6-7 hours sleep which is quite good. It's mums birthday on Sunday and obviously will be her first celebrating with our own little family.

I haven't heard from macca86 as he is due around this time as well.

[Cuppa]

Just caught up with this thread. Congratulations & best wishes to Mr, Mrs & Young Master Newby.
