My human hatchling arrived
Hey gang
During the forum downtime I have had a crazy time We were on holiday at Ribby Hall Nr Blackpool when our baby decided to make his appearance, 5 weeks early. The Mrs hadn't felt any movement for 24 hours so I took her to Blackpool hospital to be checked over, and 2 hours and an emergency c section later he was with us! Hell of a shock, most people bring back rock from Blackpool Weighing in at 5lbs and being so prem he spent 2 weeks in special care baby unit but did ever so well, progressed every day with feeds and breathing etc and we have now had him home for a few weeks. Sleepless nights are here but hes so worth it. I called him Arnold after my hero Schwarzenegger, I said during his time in SCBU if he proved to be a strong lad he will earn the name Here is the mini-Ibiza The boys getting kip

Oh he's just lovely! Huge congratulations Cris to you and your wife. It must have been a scary time of it, especially when Arnold wasn't moving. Thank goodness you went to the hospital when you did!
He really is adorable. The sleepless nights are worth it. Believe me they soon grow up but the newborn stage is such a precious time. Enjoy every second!
