transport

Well  being male the first thing that i thought about was transport  as I don't drive it makes life difficult.  Initially I thought that I would be able to get a seat for the back of my tricycle  but on searching the Internet I found this the taga bike. It is a bike  which as you can see the child is in fronnt of you so you can see them at all times while on your jorney plus get the chance to see what you see.

Where this bike is different is that when you get into town it converts into a pram thrrough the simple action of flipping the back wheel forward then re attaching the baby seat and you walk into your shop of choice.

My wife Elizabeth was dubious at first but  later realised and accepted that it will be good for me as gives me the independence with the child that I need and means I can get about as well.

Well the next thing is saving up for it at £1600 its not cheap but I think its going to be worth it


I have found a place locally who  supply this wonderful machine so will be going there hopefully soon to see if I can use it one handed fingers crossed

Initial thoughts on fatherhood

My wife comes into the bedroom and states she is pregmant initially i am shocked it takes me a full day to get my head round this wonderful news  mixed emotions run through my head, YIPPEE  I am going to be a father OH SHIT how am I going to cope, so many thoughts ran through my head

But after a couple of days I couldn't take the grin off my face.  Until reality kicked in how am I going to look after a baby? (I have time to learn to do things but there will be advice out there I thought) time is now running out and the big day is getting closer.  But I am starting to figure ourt ways to do things and practise will make perfect :)
