How many of us are expecting?

From a colleague, who reckons that he is already perfecting the handlebar grip:

I've just had a free upgrade to a large lemonade from the very nice chap at Kentucky Fried Rabbit who asked how my day had been.

I'm off to bed, it's been a long couple of days.

edit: and I had the easy part. Respect is definitely due.

When my first was born, I ended up getting a cab home at 3am. Driver said to me (having asked what I'd been doing at the hospital; imagine cockney accent) ""Gor blimey, congratulations, mate. I'd give you a cigar, if I 'ad any".

When my first was born my mobile was switched off and I was hiding. We had 2 more children and I went AWOL and hid for those births too. I felt bad, but not that bad that I wished that I hadn't hid. Other fathers always say "You don't know what you missed", but of course I know what I missed and boy am I glad I missed it.

I was there for al three, but I DO think there's a certain amount of saying 'it's the best thing ever' because tht's what polite modern society wants us (men) to say. If truth be known (and yes, I KNOW it wasn't mean to be about me) I felt each time that the midwives/nurses/doctors would much rather blokes weren't there, and (though nice polite middle class people are generally a bit shocked when I say this) I would also say that there's every possibility that the mother giving birth would fare much better with a trusted female companion than a bloke trying not to get in the way, yet help, support, be sworn at, and basically be everything at once with no right of comeback or comment.
