Last day of work. Desk is all packed up, travel mementos all packed away and photos removed.

Got new passport photos taken; I look suitably tired which should be appropriate given the upcoming arrival.....

 

[get me outta here]

Great feeling cleaning out the desk, congratulations. So they don't still do baby photos with the mother's photo on the mother's passport?

Babies require their own passport.

By hook or by crook (most likely hook) I will be a father of two within 15 days.

Why do I read it differently. The word twins come to mind...

GarrettM it is almost time......noise cancelling headphones ready? The last two weeks should be slow motion for MrsGarrettM.
All our best wishes for your second child and mum.

Finished up work yesterday in anticipation of the early arrival of mini TomCat. Lots of ongoing check ups before they call time.

Any little thing that doesnt feel right, go immediately to hospital. False alarms are never wasted efforts *hugs*

I reckon TomCat’s are pretty much on to that. So now we wait with baited breath.....I’m sure I join the whole AFF community in wishing you and TV all the very next for the next huge event in your life; getting this in now because when things move it can happen real quick!

And GarretM - tic tic tic! Best wishes for your new arrival too!

Ah so it’s a Tom?

Definitely not twins. We checked more than once to be sure.

She was so close to the end/arrival!

I do hope you enjoy being parents to the new arrivals GarrettM and blackcat20.
It can be exhausting and rewarding but I think exhausting comes first.
We travelled with our first son when he was 3 months old so it doesn’t mean the end of your life as you knew it.

Funny but I didn’t read any gender in that message and I’m always on the watch out for clues. TomCat to me is two people. Oh, wait, it’s TWINS! One of each.

No it’s TomCat and BlackCat...

And it’s not “gender” it’s “sex”. That G word was slipped in because of PC

Not the end. Just an indefinite pause. At least for mum and bub. I am eyeing off a daddy/daughter trip long weekend trip later in the year. Either Sydney or Singapore to visit the zoo(s).

It's a single baby, belonging to tomvexille and blackcat, hence TomCat. We made sure early on it wasn't twins.

Well....... if she's anything like her father
