[new release] Vijay555.1 - new and improved

[vijay555]

Guys, it's slightly too geeky to be announcing this here, but as of 6.55am this morning, I'm the proud of father of Vijay555.1, née Alexander.

Those of you wondering why I've been so quite for a while (relatively speaking!) now have an explanation :wink: And unlike most of my releases, he came a little early too, but both beautiful mother and child are doing well :D

He doesn't look his best, but you wouldn't look so great having just been squeezed out of your mom either :) This is about 1 minute old.

God bless all,

V

PS. I know I won't be the only one, but man was I temped to hack the PC they had in the delivery room while I was waiting. Nice finger print scanner and touch screen - but VB interface :( The wife wouldn't have been too happy though :wink:

Congratulations, vijay :) A healthy and long life to Alexander - may his toys be exempt from his father's tinkering ;)

Thanks so much guys - I was kind of in shock yesterday; baby and mother are still in hospital, so I did a bit of coding to keep myself busy! C'est la vie :wink:

Wow he's a handsome we thing - good eyes - they look like eyes made for programming to me ;)

[vijay555]

Baby Alexander is a little ill, and will require an operation in a few weeks. I remember saying to Buzz a while ago when we found out, that if I could, I'd hack and patch him. We all really need to get out more :)

But rest assured, he'll be out-programming his dad as soon as I can get him to dribble less then I do on my keyboard :oops:

that if I could, I'd hack and patch him.
Best leave that to the guy who knows how to do it properly, the surgeon.

Hope the little fella gets better soon.

[vijay555]

TheBrit: yeah, tell me about it! They ask you if the father wants to cut the umbilical cord.
Mrs Vijay555 said "he better not, he'll poke him in the eye or something" :shock:.
She means it, I'm not best when it comes to delicate co-ordination :lol:. That's how she got pregnant to begin with :oops:

V,

Congratulations with your lovely son, he's looking very good. Hope the surgery will get him soon like he's supposed to be.

Now take it easy & enjoy these early days, you'll get used to the diaper stuff ;-) (probably not to all the breaks during the night). Take good care of him & mrs V they really need you. We can wait for some time for your new developments.

Sorry for the delayed response, haven't done much browsing the forum lately, but been thinking a lot of your family last weeks.

Warm regards from me & my family, M

Congrats. After the first 6-7 YEARS you start getting used to the extra work 8) . Thats when the marvel of the game boy lets you take a break.

How long did the birth take? My son took alost 24 hours to burts free.

[vijay555]

Guys, once again, many many thanks!
OdeeanRDeathshead: Mrs V was suffering labour pains for a couple of days, but I thought she was just being fussy, so I slept through it. Then, we realised they were real labour pains, getting regular and very very painful, and since I couldn't sleep through her bleating any more :) we decided to run her to the hospital.

In the end, she was in labour for around 15 hours, and wasn't too bad, although very painful for her, and very painful for me to watch. I'll advise anyone, as soon as you get through the door, order a double epidural on the rocks for the mother and yourself! I needed one, but my old English stiff upper lip came into play .. almost!

Little V was quite small, so I think he popped out relatively easily, but he's plumping up a little now.
