I got another baby!
My second baby was born six hours ago! Im so happy for it, it was so extremely good experience, I was there with my wife, who was so brave with the birthgiving, and we got a cute baby boy. We were expecting a girl but he made a nice suprice to us. The only thing now is we didnt prepare any name for a boy, 'cause we were so sure that it will be a girl. Well, next time :) Im a father of two!Yupii! I just wanted to share the joy with all of you guys, Im so exited.
By the way I dont like the Helsinki airport! I made some very bad experiences.. You always have these 6 hours waiting for your conection and when you got to town and you are so stupid to take a cab back they fool you and charge all what you have these bastards!!
The ****ing skype phones at the airport are a joke!! No normal telephone in range of ...30 miles???!!!! You throw in your ****ing money and before you can figure out where to click how to log in skype and which ****ing number you have to dial for your country...the money is used up and you endup blank without having the **** call!! It costed me much money and all I got was a ****ing hurting foot coz I kicked this ****mashine soooo HARD!!! And it was was harder than my sneaker...****! And when I watched out of the window during landing and take of..all I saw were some lakes and trees but not just one ****ing moose!!!! AAAH!! I HATE THAT PLACE!!!! I will take any further flight over peking or istambul to not get crazy anymore in Helsinki!!! ARGH!!
(Hey Im joking All the best to your small nag! Well... it was the truth I told..but it was somehow funny in Helsinki because my girlfriend documented all with camera and laughed her ass off while I nearly died.. haha... oh man... :./// )
Congratulations Aleksi! My babies are 39 and 40 years old this year, but I still remember the excitement.
When it was time for my son to arrive we drove into town from the country. Fathers seldom accompanied mothers in those distant days, so I was in a waiting room. It was the middle of the night. Two guys were there before me. It quickly became clear that one was the father-to-be, very, very nervous and excited. The other guy was there for moral support and sanity.
Fairly soon the doctor came out and congratulated me on my new son.
The other guy got up and accosted the doc. "Wait a minute," he said. "I was here first!"
thanks alot guys! fergusito; those are exiting times, soon the creature will be born ;) good luck with everything. dckH;yeah, the name is difficult, now he looks like a little bear :) so we call him medvidek ;) doit;hah, thats funny and tragic. traveling flying is always a pain. If I would have the money, I would definetily fly always first class...no queues, enough space, good food, no waiting at the airport. I hate to be poor ;) atleo;Now I have the full set. 1 girl + 1 boy. We'll start formal flamenco guitar training next week with the boy ;) Richard; :) thats really funny. No pushing in the queue. florian; your hard work will be rewarded in the end, but it takes lots of practice.
thanks mates! Hey Ron, you are such an optimist . Whats with the teenage fear everybody? I know many very friendly and well behaving teenagers. I think mine will become nice ones also . If these ones will not become smarter than the father then we migh have a problem veet; Im not really worrying about the name, I also feel that he will let us know whats hes name is.
here he is about 3 hour old. Looks like a guitarrista already

And don't believe that all teenagers are difficult - my babies are now 17 and 15 and fantastic fun to have around. My eldest is 20 and has disappeared to university, never to be seen again. Well, I guess you have kids so they can make their own lives, not hang around your apron strings.
EVERYBODY thinks other people's kids are well behaved!
See video...
Ailsa; yours are not babies any more I have high hopes that I will also have good time with mine when they are teens and older. I've seen couple of families that looks like they enjoy eachothers. Its still hard to imagine my little ones going to date or starting studying, but I gues it will happen whether I like it or not. But first couple of diaper changes
