Congratulations Dougie!! I guess we won't be seeing much of round these parts for a few months!! Enjoy the terror, the first one is the toughest, but also the most precious memories.
The secret to a happy baby? Breast feed on demand, and mom eats lots of vanilla ice cream made with healthy organic cream. Lots of saturated fat!!! Baby needs 50% of calories as fat, the brain is 60% saturated fat by weight. Butter it up, that's what they're screaming for. Believe it. You'll thank me later... Guaranteed happy mom, happy baby. No chocolate for a couple months. Cure stuck tit with alternating hot wet towel then cold wet towel. I wish those assholes told us about this stuff from the beginning.
One other tip: That big blue snot sucker? Save that to clean out your ears every six months with warm water in the bath tub. Best hifi tweek there is, and you get the tool for "free"... well not really free.... but you can't find them even if you wanted to buy it, so hold onto it!
Congrats Dougie and Mom! Please post some more pics when you come back to down Earth.
