Pitter patter?, thud thud thud more like!

stu · Post by **stu** » Thu 19 Mar, 2009 12:29

Sylv and I are delighted to inform our friends at ZRoadster that someone's managed to get herself pregnant last Christmas, so we're now expecting a REAL BABY on the 24th September

(Sylv calls the Z the Baby for anyone who doesn't know).

It's Sylvia's first and my 3rd (Tom's 18 in April & Chloe's 14 in June for heavens sake - talk about being the Oldest Dad in Yorkshire!), so any help, advice, tax dodges, claims from the state or whatever anyone can help us with will be most welcome. At least we should be ok for child minding duties.

The pregnancy seems to be going ok, though the shape and size of Sylv's tummy is starting to give me concern over just how large it might be, she's now almost the same shape as me!!!

Unusually for these parts, it doesn't mean the Z's going up for sale either. We just need to work out how to attach a child seat between the roll hoops.

How about a trailer or a tow hitch on the pushchair?

Many, many congratulations to you both

Well done both!
Maybe time to cut out the boot and make a space for the baby in the carry cot! I saw someone with a frogeye and their dog slept/travelled in the boot space.

You can go off people very easily you know!!!

My two are 17 & 13 and I can't imagine going through it all again lmao

Joking aside....

Oh My GOD!!!!!!!!!!!! you guys

Big Hug to you both from Pete and I x

WOW

edit after info had sunk further in, "someone got herself pregnant at Christmas", Sylv didn't look that hammered at the car club Christmas dinner!!!!!!!!

stu · Post by **stu** » Sun 22 Mar, 2009 20:47

Cheers all, been away at the inlaws this weekend, sharing the joy etc.

It's pretty much all sunk in now, but the sister in law, who's first and only child is now only 4, is clearly the biggest expert on child rearing ever, so looks like we'll be ok

In terms of genders, we're hoping for a healthy one, but will be happy none-the-less, slong as it's not a ladyboy.

So just how 'tidy or not' is she supposed to be at 13 weeks anyway? Not that I'm getting worried, but BLOODY HELL!

BTW, Gazza, do you think I've got a case for abuse?

Congrats to both of you, Stu! I knew you had it in you.

If it's a boy, how about calling it Zedebee?

Your third child, eh? Wait till you're like me - with three grandchildren. Then you really will feel old. My youngest child just had his 35th birthday, and last month I officially became an OAP.

stu · Post by **stu** » Fri 16 Oct, 2009 19:39

Sylv and I are delighted to announce the safe arrival of Luca John, after a marathon labour. He arrived at 11.10 pm on the 28th September and we are both thrilled to bits.

Anyone with a small baby will explain why it's taken this long to get around to posting pics.

Not sure when his first run in the Z will be yet.

aceman · Post by **aceman** » Fri 16 Oct, 2009 19:55

Congratulations Stu & Sylv and all the best with the new arrival. I suppose you are already experiencing the sleepless nights so I won't bore you with that old pun but hope mother and baby are doing well.

We need a photo of you and Luca in the Z, start 'em young I say !!

Cute - congratulations, but i'm not sure about baby seats in the front personally. He might be safer in the boot.
Isn't that what they mean by baby bootees?

Thought about that, but shirley it spoils the weight distribution

I have actually seen a Morgan +8 with the spare wheel hole filled with a kiddie seat, all 3 occupants wearing leather flying hats & goggles! Propper old school.

Congratulations to all three of you. Hope that mum and baby keep doing well.

If they have kiddie trailers for bicycles why couldn't you have one on the Zed

' you'll need to upgrade the suspension and fit some decent tyres

Fantastic news!
Congratulations to both of you, he's so beautiful you must be brimming with pride!

I have to admit the memories came flooding back seeing the photo of Sylv's chart, it sent shivers down my spine

Can't wait to see him on a cruise

Well done, Stu.

I sure that piccie you posted of Luca is a copy of one we have in our family album of our latest grandson - or is it just that all newborns look the same?

Anyway, he look's a smasher. I'm still disappointed (see my post of March 23rd) that you didn't decide to call him Zedebee.
