wow, I'm a DADDY!

G'day all. Just got back from the hospital yesterday with a new addition to our family. A healthy BABY BOY!



He was born on 5/5/10 at 10:15pm, 3.67kg (8lb 2oz). Full head of hair! Dad is jealous, he has more hair than me!

He's been absolutely awesome so far, too. Only lets out a little cry to let us know he's hungry. Couldn't ask for more, really.

As for names, well, he came a bit early for us to have chosen a winner from our short list. Now we're home and not constantly interrupted by hospital staff etc, we hope to be able to make the right decision some time this week.

Will post photos soon. I'm proud as punch.

Troy,

Bugger, I thought you got a new piece of astro equipment. :tonguepoke:

Congratulations to you and the missus on your latest addition.

In celebration, you should get yourself a fullframe CCD and Paramount ME.

He looks gorgeous! ... and wide awake. I reckon you're in for some serious 'night time'. Sounds like you're going to be very prolific on the astrophoto side of things between feeds at 3:00am Very proud Dad and you should be. Good job!

Congratulations Troy and all concerned! Great pics, a shining light, wonderful.

Good news for Leyburn as well, as Pat Pearl recently had a grandson, so with the 2 boys out there we will have someone to keep the grass mowed nice n short!

Congratulations! Good times ahead, after the first 2-3 months though! May as well pack up the scope for a while though!
