1st Few Breaths 3 Mths Ago

[mic]

My little boy Mitch is 3 Mths old today

I thought I would mark this little milestone with this one I found straight out of the Oven

He is over his probation period, we have decided to keep the little tacker. It's his sister waking me up at bloody 5am in the morning which I am sending back

Well done Mitch on getting to 3mths.

Cheers,

Mic. ( Proud Daddy )

Congratulations Mic Is he an offspring of Wonder Woman? (answer carefully )

Obviously I'm not a father or used to seeing new born, but is that a tube sticking out of his belly?

Wayne, Thats where they put a clip on after cutting the cord

One day you will understand ma boy.

Cheers,

Mic.

Great shot Mic and congrats.........those cords are hard buggers to cut through hey?!
He looks as though he might be a bit of a whinger...just like his Dad!

mic...awesome picture, and one to treasure. Made more amazing cause the place would have been hectic and the lighting all over the shop......

And ofcourse congrats....

Marcus, he is as quiet as a mouse ( thank god ) and I have told him never to get up on a toilet seat.

[marcus]

Good work..........NO STANDING UP ON TOILETS SEATS EVER!

As you would understand thats the rule in our house.

Mic nice shot and congratulations (though it is probably your wife who deserves them)

My posts was not counted due to the Telstra debarcle, so I'll have to remember what I said!!

This is a beautiful image, Mic. Did you choose B&W to disguise the blood?? They're actually not a very nice colour when they pop out! I would have loved to have taken some of mine "just out", but I'm sure you'll understand I was a little busy!! I took some once I returned home and felt human again, which I will scan and post in the film section (eventually!)

He looks so calm and relaxed after being squashed up for so long, and then to endure the final journey!

A wonderful memory of such a special time! Congratulations! I hope this picture is in a frame???

Was that your post while Gary had

PLEASE DO NOT POST... on the front page????????????????

[stormygirl]

Yes Greg, it was! But he did say "try to refrain..." not "Do not post..." and of course I couldn't resist! It was very hard NOT to....I think I need help!

(sorry Mic, for the interuption to your post! A wonderful, wonderful picture it is!)

[Greg B]

It is like when we are trying to refrain from spending anything unnecessary on the card for a week but Rosanne accidentally sees a top because she is just looking in the clothes shop and it is too good a deal to pass up and and and



And by the way, nice shot mic. I waited until now to comment because, well, you know.....

[mic]

Thanks Guys,

Yes, a very nice memory indeed. I'm amazed I got any of it in focus due to the shaking & shock of it all. ( Not to mention my poor wife lying in a bed with the Placenta being dragged out of her while tressed out Dads cutting the Calamarri Cord & taking pics trying desperately not to get blood over his fairly new D70 Camera. )

Stormy you are right about the colour of the poor little babies when they come straight out of the cooker, B&W works a treat for this and give a better mood to the whole thing I feel.

All in all it is a bloody mess, but something I will always remember & be amazed with ( it makes everything else in life feel pretty insignificant )

Thanks all for your comments.

Mic.
