Hi all,
I don't pay as much attention to IIS right now as I used to, but still appreciate the good group of people here, the good conversations, assistance to astronomy problems, and camaraderie. So, thought I'd better share with you such a life changing event as now being a Dad!
My daughter Ella was born on 29th July. 10 days overdue, relatively short labour, mum is now feeling much better 3 weeks post birth.
Since the 29th I'm pleased to have managed to maintain reasonable quantity of astronomy time while also helping out as much as I can with the screaming kid :lol: Automation of my observatory will be my saviour in the long run, but in the immediate past since Ella's birth the paternity leave has given me a chance to fix a few things with my PC rebuilt and SBIG away for repair :)
Ella's probably equally as demanding as any other newborn. Trying to work out why she's screaming non stop from 2pm - 10pm or 6pm - 2am, getting up at 1am, 3am and 5am, etc. Very mentally challenging at times and I sure hope it gets smoother! Generally things have started to improve over the last week.
Regards,
Roger.
