There's also the cheeky grin they give you when they are 3 steps up and check that you're watching before going further.</p> <p>Congratulations. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12786#post-152840 Sat, 10 May 2014 07:03:55 +0000 gembo 152840@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Congrats to all the darkersides.</p> <p>A new born baby weighs almost nothing (7,11 not insubstantial) but after a few weeks you suddenly feel a gain in substance, this is similar timing to your mind slowly realising what you have done and how you have become responsible for another human being's wellbeing. And you feel good about this. You get surprises like how much you actually like the fact they fall asleep on your chest etc.</p> <p>As the time rolls by you get to a point where you start to feel you might possibly be getting a bit bored and then the really clever stuff starts. They start smiling at you or making the sound da da or mamma that almost every human on the planet interprets in the same way. Or they look right at you and light up or they start bum shuffling or sticking their hand in your mouth. Some very intelligent design has gone into the concept that engages the caregiver for a lifetime.</p> <p>Enjoy. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12786#post-152824 Fri, 09 May 2014 22:27:31 +0000 LaidBack 152824@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'll add my best wishes from all here. Was pleased to hear your news of sleepless nights! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12786#post-152817 Fri, 09 May 2014 22:13:33 +0000 Darkerside 152817@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks all. The sleeping lark is proving entertaining, particularly when he decides that the only place he'll sleep is lying on top of one of us. Still, mustn't grumble - I'm managing to work through a whole load of stuff on Netflix in the small hours.</p> <p>And yup, he's our first! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12786#post-152814 Fri, 09 May 2014 22:01:34 +0000 wingpig 152814@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Congratuloses. SLEEP WHEN HE SLEEPS. That is all. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12786#post-152810 Fri, 09 May 2014 21:23:30 +0000 Instography 152810@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>You'll really appreciate those quiet times on the bike now.

I hope they didn't have to work too hard and are well on the way to joining your laid back lifestyle ...</p> <p>Biggest change to your life by far ! :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12786#post-152777 Fri, 09 May 2014 18:57:47 +0000 DaveC 152777@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Congratulations! ! I assume that this is your first? You have so many happy times ahead. Cherish every moment! They grow up so fast. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12786#post-152765 Fri, 09 May 2014 17:31:39 +0000 Uberuce 152765@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I don't think babies have a cycling reflex yet, but they do famously have that swimming one and they kick their legs in that. So all you need to do is fill a bakfiet container with water, put a very well greased stoker rig down there, get a pair of SPD booties...</p> <p>Congratulations, too! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12786#post-152762 Fri, 09 May 2014 17:17:45 +0000 Dave 152762@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Congratulations. I'm not sure they make newborn tandems, but you might be able to get some kind of back-box crib set up on the Meta? :-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12786#post-152760 Fri, 09 May 2014 17:08:09 +0000 Darkerside 152760@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well, kind of.</p> <p>DarkerSide Jr (who'll probably prefer the name Owen when he grows old enough to care about such things) finally joined us on the 17th April. 7 lbs 11 and already has legs like a giraffe.</p> <p>I hope those of this parish will take said news into consideration given my lack of PoP attendance... :p</p> <p>Rob </p>
