New addition to the family VERY soon... Now.. New addition to family.

Hi all,

As some of you are aware My wife, Kathryn is pregnant with our third Boy. Well lastnight while out with ex members Paul (Rumples Riot), Peter (exfso) and current member Tim (tnott), My wife informed me that she was having minor contractions, she didn't tell me before I left because she didnt want to spoil my night out (awwwwwww), well..... She kept having these contractions and some were quite strong others not so, sometimes becoming frequent, sometimes not... and that was before 3am this morning.

As I type this my wife is bending over in some pretty major contractions, I have organised the other two kids to be looked after tonight, and we are preparing a night at the hospital to welcome our third son, Ashton Chris..

Going to be a loooooooooong night.

Hi all,

Just to clear some things up first........

Laptop is in getting fixed because screen was damaged somehow...
Ashton wasn't named Tony, because the name had already been picked out by my wife and I wanted an EQ6 mount

Now onto the nitty gritty.

Ashton was born @ 1:36am on the 12th of October, 2006. Kathryn and Ashton are doing well, but Ashton had low sugar levels so they are keeping an eye on him, and Kathryn hasn't slept since Tueday 6am, so she is a little tired.

I havent slept since the last time I slept so I am heading off to bed too at 5:20am.

All the best to you and Kathryn, Andrew. Needless to say, I suppose, but I trust that young Ashton perks up with the TLC he is undoubtedly receiving.

Too bad Ashton is going to become second to the EQ6 Syntrek mount almost on your door stop...poor kid...he's going to grow up hating that mount getting all the attention over the next few years.

Yeah bloody kid has already started to cause trouble. Went out to show the other two boys their new brother, held off as long as possible, left at 3:45pm and you guessed it, the mount was delivered while I was out. AT 4:15PM!!!!!!! So now a new time of Tomorrow afternoon for the mount to be re-delivered.
