ahh that reminds me of this one from the Mystic Ruby's first birthday...

I always love to see this photo, Simon
Have you already found a name for next one ?

[SimonC]

we have a few ideas, we need to see him first and hopefully one will click

You have to see him first...hmmm...that`s interesting way to name a baby I never do it but I remembered when we (myself & my wife) expected our first baby daughter. At the age of 6-7 months of pregnancy, we came up with 2 names. I asked the baby which name she would like to have and gave us a confirmation by kicking mommy`s tummy At the first question (offering the first name)...no response.....2nd question (offering second name)....she kicked . This could be lucky or coincidence we thought. And to confirm, we asked twice,with same procedure.....and we got a same result. Really2 surprising....looked so magical indeed.

If you see him, proceed with a male type name ...

If you see her, try a female name ...

Hey, my middle name is "Einstein" for a reason!

[SimonC]

Good day all! Just a quick note to introduce you to the latest Craze!
Brinley Forest Craze was born on Weds and we've just got back from the hospital ready to embark on life as a 4! Mrs Craze and baby are both doing really well.

[VictorS]

Congratulations to you and your wife!!!
My only child is now 18 and I miss all the fun we enjoyed in her younger years. So experience the joys of you children's youth to the fullest.

[Pete1805]

Congratulations to you and your family Simon.

[BillD]

Great news Simon.......congratulations and best wishes to you, your wife and family.

[Brett H]

Excellent news, Simon!

Congratulations on the newest addition to the Craze family! I hope the missus is recovering well.

And give your sleep schedule my condolences.

[David DeTenyo]

I showed this thread to Emmy (my wife) and she immediately told me I forgot to congratulate your spouse since she is the one that did all the hard labour - for us, men, it's all fun making them, but afterwards ...
So, a big 'well done' to your wife, Simon, from both me and Emmy

Just a quick (in my opinion 'über-'!) curious question from Emmy, but will you be going for a number 3?

[Rob Rand]

Wow Simon what a great news! Baby has landed safe on earth!
Congrats to Mrs Craze and you!
And Ruby will be happy too! Little brother Brinley!

[SimonC]

thanks guys! we're settling in nicely, and Ruben's doing well so far to settle into the change
Bryony says thanks too. I think that's us for kids, we won't be going for number 3 but hey that's just how we feel at the moment.
And yes Brett, the sleep schedule has already gone up in smoke, it's zombie time for me

[EvanS]

Congratulations, Simon!! Best wishes to the four of you!

[Elliot W.]

Congrats to you and your wife!
I'm sure your older son will love having someone else to play with.

[BluBob]

Simon, Mrs, BluBob and I wish you and yours, an amazingly awesome, and joyous journey. Congratulations!

[PeterW]

Fantastic news Simon! Congratulations to your whole family!!!

[John B.]

Congrats! Wonderful news!!!

[Roberto B.]

Congratulations Simon!!!.....beautiful baby!!....a new source of inspiration has come to your home!

[Roberto B.]

Well, my wife and I are waiting the result of some blood tests (my wife is 37 and I'm 39 and it will be our first and probably last child) and weren't planning to tell anyone yet apart from close family of course, but hey, if all goes well I'll probably be a daddy too in august We weren't actually 'trying' anymore and kind of imagined a life without a child, so it was a BIG surprise when the pregnancy test showed a positive result last december
My biggest fear (apart from the child being healthy of course!!!) was actually that it could have been twins, there are some in our family ... , imagine that, not really expecting to have a child and than there are two , but it seems it will be only one . No idea of the gender yet.
Anyway, sorry to hijack this thread a bit, but I know most of you guys have children, so as Simon said/asked, any advice is welcome
Roberto, I believe you were also a bit 'older 'than most parents with the birth of your son? Any other 'older' daddy's here? It's just at my school people of my age have already children that go to middle and high school, and I'll be chainging dipers in a few months

Hey David!....congratulation to you too!!...answering your question: Yes, I was 40 when Robertito was born.....and I can tell you that it's a great timing.....also as you get older you need less hours of sleep

[Elliot W.]

Well add me to the over 40 with a baby club. My wife gave birth to a baby girl last week.
Everybody is doing well but looks like I've got some sleepless nights ahead of me.
At the least I'll be able to read your Eastern Hemisphere posts as you post them instead of eight hours later.
