I/O,

Splendid!  I am well past my baby years, and as I look back over my long life, I would have had more children.  Congratulations!

Absolutely beautiful baby IO.  Congratulations to momma and papa.

IO please excuse my most likely over enthusiastic advice but my MIL taught the wife and I to bath our babies every night before the last feeding.  With our first he went from being cranky at night to skipping a feeding and sleeping a solid 6 to 8hours.  Our second, little princess, would sleep six hours after two weeks and 8 hours by week four.

Good luck IO, I hope your new addition brings your family much joy!

That's the program.

Haven't quite achieved that yet but time will show.

We have been absolutely overwhelmed by good wishes, gifts and flowers received from locals and internationals. The flowers have just gone on forever (a sample of one table full below) and they continue to arrive by the day. Gifts have begun to arrive from Russia and further abroad (those here who have added to that number know who they are and a very special thankyou from all of us) adding to the mountains of gifts we've received locally. I am but in shock and we've certainly been humbled by all of this.

Thanks from all of us Yulia, Jon and Anton for the special gifts which arrived today and not less so for thinking of Marias brother who's birthday fell only a few days ago. You're special friends and a special family. ;)

Awww That is so sweet, We are very happy you loved it and glad that you received it rather fast, because with the floods:( we did not know how long it might take.
Oh you are very special to us as well:) I can not believe  that time passes so fast, as it seems  like yesterday that we communicated over the forum and now here we are all with kids already:) That is truly fantastic!

Life does take on rather a redneckish style when audible lip smacking after food (milk), burps, farts and even poops are celebrated as significant events by the entire family. Usually means one may get a few hours of sleep soon................. :rolleyes2:

Oh the joys of babies! I've just completed my second time celebrating baby poops with a granddaughter though it is quite a bit different and more celebratory the second time around

Yes, it is something of a joy to say "The baby needs changing! Come and take care of it!" to its parents...

I fully expect in the next four or five years that I'll suddenly be a great-grandfather, as my granddaughter is already 23 years old and seems fairly interested in her current boyfriend. We'll see...

(My son was born when I was twenty, and he had a daughter while he was 18. It was quite an experience being a grandfather at 38!)

Congratulations I/O family.
The title of this thread reminds me of a story. A pregnant woman went to her doctor for a checkup. She told the doctor she was smoking 8 packs of cigarettes a day. The doctor said: "if you don't stop smoking your baby will be marked." Sure enough, right at the end of baby's spine the baby had a little butt.

This thread's pretty rooted (that's Au for seriously damaged or getting laid depending on intonation) as quite a bit apparently went missing somewhere along the way so not really worth reading these days but FWIW the ol' girl's knocked up again......................

There's probably a few threads around here that'll describe how to put the kybosh on that happening to her so often  :D

Congratulations I/O.  You haven't been around for a long time.  Was it that difficult?  :D 
 
Two kids are best.  Best for the kids and best for the parents.

So cute!  When's the new one due?  September, or while I'm still in Australia?
