Ooooh... I heard some great news from Studioj.... sooo exciting! However, I won't steal his thunder, and will let him announce it

: pulls up a chair and pours a cup of coffee :
Ok, so I'm here.... where's J? My coffee's getting cold..

Sorry folx, I still haven't slept yet! As ST started I have great news, last night at 2am my first (fiance's third) baby was born, Xander James 7lbs 7oz and by all accounts is very healthy. More news and pics after I've recovered (if that ever happens lol)

Congratulations Jamie!
Your life will never be the same after today!

Congratulations Jamie!! Your life has just changed forever, and you probably don't even really know it yet. All the other things you do, choosing a mate, buying a house, starting a new job - all pale in comparison for pure raw impact on your lifestyle and wallet...
Best to your fiance and the little one.
When do his photography lessons begin? hehe
Many congratulations J!!!!

Congrats J!! What a blessing to the family! Enjoy it... I'm sure there will be lots of fun times ahead.

I would like to add my congrats J.... there's nothing better I think.
So there's a photography franchise in Perth that is available for the next 16-18 years then

(while Dad is being a dad!)
Congrats J.

Congratulations. The first 18 years are the worst ( so my folks told me)

We rejoice with you J!

Congrats BigJ, I guessed what the topic was about when I saw the first post then I scrolled down to see I was correct =) Any pictures (Might need the macro lense, hah) yet?
Oh and don't forget to protect your baby from "THE DINGO!"
Thank you all for your kind words, he has been home for a day now and all is going well. I'm sure I'll be back amongst you once everything is settled.
For the meantime here is the first pic!

The baby looks magnificent!!!
But..they all do - that's why we don't eat them alive...it would be so simple...
It's not too late - are you hungry???

LOL - I must admit I'm not complaining our 3 have all grown up and left home, though it took a while to get over the 'empty nest' syndrome. I sometimes wonder where all the years went - but I couldn't face going through all those years again! :o

Congratulations from here too, J! He's marvelous!
As a mother of two (a boy and girl already grown up) I can tell you that they are really a blessing for us. Now looking at your baby I got sentimental, and I could even smell my babies again....
Congratulations
WOW!!! Very cute baby. Congrats J!
One week old now! Isn't photography fun?
Edit: Looks a bit oversaturated, must be tired.
