Dear All,
Edward Felix Lee. Born 15.10.2010 3.20am. 8lb 9oz (3.93kg).
All are well and thriving, and he is just getting us broken in and properly trained.
Best wishes to all (and sorry we missed the inlands)
Lucy, Will and Edward Lee

Congratulations to all! This is the start of a whole new adventure.
I look forward to meeting Edward.
-
Congratulations to all!
I'll have to dig out my optimist plans for you :)
-
Fantastic news.
If OK we'd love to visit before Edward has a greater mental age than I have ;D
-
Thank-you. Visitors would be most welcome in about a fortnight once we have found our feet.
-
Fantastic, you have now joined a development class that does not require a slide rule or formula to calculate "the sweet spot", you will still have sticky weekends and holes in the bank account so situation normal, enjoy. We'll send essential emergency kit in the post.
-
Wonderful news. Congrats to all of you. From the lewns family
-
Congratulations to you all on the biggest adventure of your lives.
Welcome to the world of parent hood and all the sleepless nights,
smelly nappies and tantrums, but enough about Will.
Loads of love, the Jones tribe

Congratulations to both of you, great news, I expect the years of practice working 36 hour shifts as doctors is proving useful! I would love to drop in sometime when things settle down. Love, the Croote family
-
Congratulations!
Those Lees always seem to be just ahead of us.
2 weeks to find your feet?
I was thinking of at least 18 years.
-
Congratulations team Lee! :-D Looks like a fine specimen, Look forward to meeting him in person!
-
Congratulations! Glad to hear all are well.
When we had our first my boss gave me some advice: Don't worry, the first 25 years are the worst. It doesn't really get any easier after that, but at least your expectations go down a bit. :)
-
congratulations wish you all the best of health. Look forwards to meeting your new arrival
-
Congratulations!
The only advice I can give is....
Just when you think you can't cope anymore, with whatever it is that is sending you over the edge, that thing changes, thus giving you a rest for a bit. This roughly equates to around every three weeks. Knowing this doesn't make it any easier but does enable you to keep going through the really though bits.
Oh and take more pictures that you think, they grow up fast!
Lots of love from, Louise, Luke and Me.
-
Also congratulations from the Kirks.
Have been away from the forum not ignoring your great news.
I've no advice to offer (not yet qualified like the others) but wish you all every happiness.
I can see the Optimist building sticky weekend coming along in the next few years.

Thanks all. I am a nappy ninja (1st Dan).

Very sweet picture.
I should think that baby's are the most demanding and also the most frustrated customers you can possibly have. Demanding because they have not developed the British spirit of not trying to inconvieniance you too much and frustrated that you can't interpret their errs yet.
I hope he likes sleeping.

I've started plans for the flying ant

1st dan nappy changing in 7 days...I think not. Currently you will be running "drill" in a controlled environment with a relatively willing participant.
1st dan nappy changing is when you deal with a screaming toddler, throwing a wobbler, in a public place (usually a shopping trip) that has just blown the best part of the last three feeds out of his back passage, half way up his back and down both legs. At this point you develop the ability to simultaneously pin down 4 flailing limbs (dodging the areas covered in pooh) with one hand while stripping, wiping up, refitting and redressing the little charmer with the other.
Do this, without losing your temper, raising your voice or looking the slightest bit stressed and you will have achieved a Zen like state where you can truly say…..”I know nappy Kung Fu”.
Strangely, in years to come, you will only remember one or two changes that went faultlessly. The rest will be all the ones that went horrendously badly and oddly you’ll remember them with an endearing affection.
Pooh, the rating of Pooh, efficient handling of pooh and the cleaning of pooh will be the new gold standard. You might, after some thought, experimentation and sleepless nights, consider it a possible new building material for Cherubs, on some diets it is unsinkable.

This post missed me somehow, congratulations team Lee ! In 6 years time do you think anyone will notice if I swap Eddies ? Or maybe sometime in 2020 Team Eddie will get together and storm them !
Rich is right, but its not all about Poo, theres the sick as well, and the noise !
