The day my little one is bopping along to someone shouting "I suck on her nipple, she sucking on mine. Stroke it, pull out, *** on her spine" is the last day I play skepta whilst cooking a BBQ for the boys.

Now they're starting to talk I guess I'm going to have to start listening to the beatles or something.

My 3 year old was singing the Bruno Mars funk you up. Up, down, punch you in the nuts. Me and the Mrs were in stitches:D.

Rubbish rap music in the garden during a bbq? Poor neighbours. :)
 
Our first (and only!) arrived Monday evening, amazing little boy, but it’s all a hell of an adjustment for us both and is hard going.

We’re a little older than most first time parents with us both hitting 40 this year, and have no friends or family with kids, so this is our first real experience!

Finding that we have a moment of Christ we can’t cope with this, but then once we’ve dealt with whatever it seems alright, guess that’s natural.

The birth itself was a bit traumatic for the wife, and she needed surgery after so they both had a night in the hospital before coming home.

Feeding has become a little challenging as by the time he’s changed and ready to go he’s usually then too tired and just falls asleep! So the last couple of feeds we’ve ended up expressing and feeding with a syringe.

It’s amazing though, but we’re both finding it tough.

Oh and whilst they may be mental women are hard as nails, wife did this with zero pain relief (nothing at all), all on our bed at home (definitely not planned that way!).
 
I feel your pain Ev0. Our little girl is 7 months now but looking back those first few weeks are dark until you find your feet. The adjustment is just massive and you really need to support each other as best you can. Lack of sleep doesn't help either and this amps up your emotional response to everything. Being honest, there won't be much of a routine for the first few months until your little boy gets their sleep times in order, so just hang in there. I personally think knowing its going to be tough helps ease things a little as you mentally prepare for it beforehand. It does get much much easier though so there is light at the end of the tunnel.
 
They're only crying for food or full nappies at that stage. If breastfeeding, especially in the hot weather, they'll want more feeding. We're bottle feeding our 3 week old and last few days it's been every hour feeds. Usually its 2-3hrs between.
 
Our second little boy turned one year old a week or so ago. Had his jabs too. Barrel of laughs that has been - very grumpy and temperatures (not bad ones - mid 37’s- 38 degrees) - don’t know what we would do without calpol lol
 
George is in hospital today and for at least 48 hours.
Noticed a soft lump on his head.
Turns out they think he has hit his head yesterday at some point. Makes you feel like crud that he's fallen and we didn't know.
He's always been tough he doesn't cry for pain really.
They did say it's nothing the hospital were about to send him home after a quick going over. But something flagged up on the system, he's then had a head scan and 48 hours on the ward.
I'm not allowed to visit either, and they have to stay in there room. Which I guess is a good thing.

I was in my 40's when I had the twins. One baby is a doddle :D

a lot of newborns just cry in the first few weeks, no rhyme or reason, just scream their little hearts out. Both of ours screamed for hours and hours everyday. The youngest is 3 months and just coming out of it.

All good fun, its awful when you're in the grind but it passes soon enough.

Can't you take turns with the Mrs to sleep?

Difficult at the moment as she’s restricted a bit with what she can do movement wise following surgery after the birth.

Might have to sort something though as only real sleep I’ve had this week was Tuesday evening, and was up for 40 hours before that :/
