Thanks everyone for your kind messages. Olivia is doing great and is sooooooooooooo beautiful. Bridget is doing really well dispite having to give birth by caesarean section because Olivia was in the breech position and she also developed preeclampsia but the midwife's are hoping Bridget should be home in the next couple of days.

I will pass on all your good wishes to them both.

Thanks everyone and yes it feels great being a dad

Like rolf said lots of sleepless nights she is feeding every hour and the midwife said we need to aim for a feed every 2 hours oh joy.

Apart from that mother & olivia are doing great, we had a trip out to the birth & deaths register office today to get olivia's birth certificate. I can now submit my claim to the benefits office for our £20 per week family allowance

Make the most of it at the moment........when you are faced with two of them in skirts you will soon decide to go down the pub.

Only joking really !!!! life is what you make it
