    Always thought the night I came home from the hospital after my first born arrived I'd crack open the Midleton and fire up a fat Cuban. Instead I was so hungry and tired it's Supermacs drive-thru and straight to bed.

    The Midleton can wait til tomorrow :)

    Congrats!

    Congrats Zzippy. But you're a bit soft. :pac:

    I remember returning to my parent's house (closer to the hospital) after my first was born by emergency C-section at 3am and my Dad had left a bottle of Hennessy on the kitchen table with a note to celebrate the occasion.

    I certainly did :)

    awec, would you believe you said the same thing to me when my kids were born.

    And weirder yet, would you believe I gave my son the same name as you!

    I would believe it cause you told me at the time you named him after me. I remember feeling very honoured.

    Congrats Zzippy, you are truly a lucky man as you'll be able to bring the little one to their first interpro at only 4 days old :pac:

    What else would he name someone that is going to spend the next two years pooping on everyone in range ;)

    Congrats Zzippy, you're priorities have now permanently changed but don't forget to make more time for sleep. You can add a few extra "Z's" to the start of your name!

    Jayzus, all very tiring stuff. I had my lunch and a cup of tea at 1.30pm. We drove in to the hospital at 2.30pm. Babies came at 5.11pm and 5.13pm and I was home on the couch at 10pm with a glass of wine and a chipper.

    Congratulations. Thats the best tired in the world.

    Take the time to enjoy that Midleton though, the opportunities get a bit rarer for a while.

    Amateurs. I delivered* my daughter at home and then made breakfast.





    *The midwife actually showed up right as she was crowning, but I had the towels and hot water ready, so I made the tea.

    Didn't know that births happened at home these days.

    Brothers missus had a baby Sunday past in Oz.

    He rings the hospital on Saturday..." Hi can I be put through to the maternity ward to find out about Rebecca"

    "Certainly...is this her first child"

    "Eh no...It's her partner Steve"



    Dope.

    What's this, not satisfied with poaching Fijian schoolboys, now you want to claim Irish newborns?! :p

    Well I reckon the fateful shot was fired somewhere near lake Tekapo, under a romantic starry sky. You'd just been to see Shag Rock (or at least the collapsed rubble that was Shag Rock), and drank a can of Bundaberg Root beer, and well one thing lead to another.

    I've no doubt whatsoever that Zzippy jnr will declare for NZ in a few years. None whatsoever.

    As his agent, if the price is right he can declare for whoever he wants to! :D

    As for Lake Tekapo, it was bloody raining and grey when we were there. Abel Tasman might have had more to do with it... ;)

    I am potentially completely wrong but isn't it considered a little irresponsible? I mean there is nothing on standby if a complication occurs.

    Bravery award goes to Zzippy: Abel Tasman + scarcity of raiment = death by a thousand sandfly bites
