It is wonderful. You will do fine, I was the same age, have a 6 1/2 year old and 5 year old now. Forget sleeping through the night for a while. Try losing a little weight if need be and getting in good shape helps. Be sure and still take some time for you and the lady that IS important you will need breaks, hopefully gramps and granny are near by. Have fun it is a great experience.

Blimey, what a response! Thank you very much for all this.

So let's see, I won't get much sleep and should get in shape... makes list.

I already considered the fact that I'll be 60 when the kid hits 16... yikes! Fortunately the missus is 8 years younger!

Sadly my father died a few years ago but my mum lives a few miles away and is still very active at age 74.

My mother-in-law is coming over from Poland for the birth and to help out later for a while, so that'll be great.
