Back in Cardiff. My nephew's beautiful. I feel like I should say something deep about new life and the magic of birth, but I haven't got a thing.



(Okay, maybe I've thought "I want one of these someday" a time or two, but that's all.)

Congratulations again. **smiles** If you really want one, you should offer to babysit for a few days...see if you're more content in the uncle role.

But, you do have a very kind personality. I think you'd make an excellent father if you ever decided to...

Thank you :). For all of it. (Sometimes I think I'd make a good dad and sometimes I think, good lord, no, I can't be responsible for another person's life.)

You're most welcome! ^_^

**chuckles** They say parenthood is one of the most beautifully terrifying experiences of a person's life...

The deer-in-headlights look Euan had Friday night attests to that.

Yes, but the learning curve is surprisingly steep... I'm sure he'll manage just fine; after all, humans have been parenting for millennia now.

Oh, I'm sure they'll do fine. I'm not worried about their parenting skills. It's just . . . there's a person now. That they have to take care of and look after and raise.

That's scary. It's exciting, but it's scary.

[chigong-master.livejournal.com]

It is! It's an incredibly wonderful thing, and yet extremely frightening. And the whole concept is just...mind boggling to consider.

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

Mind-boggling. Yes.


And when I held him . . . and he was so heavy and warm, and his heart was beating and he was looking around . . . that was brilliant. That was amazing.

**smiles** Sounds like you're smitten.

You're absolutely right, though. For all our technology and advancements and everything else, nothing can quite compare to the wonder and amazement of that new life coming into the world.

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

. . . well, you know. Family.

**nods** Indeed...
