new family things

[Filtered to friends]

So, yes. As Lorne said, we're parents. I've let my family know, and my mother and my brother Euan and his wife and son are coming this weekend to help me get the house ready. Babyproofing and clothes and so on. My nephew Rhodri is almost Kai's age so the idea is they'll know exactly what we need.

And I have to admit I'm as excited to see Rhodri meet Kai as I am to meet him myself.

(And as much as I love all my brothers, I'd much rather get help from Euan than any of them. Out of all of them, he's always been the one I've had the easiest time talking to.)

I expect a call from Lorne's mother soon, too. I expect she'll want to be here while Lorne's healing and Kai is getting used to us.

We've got a son.

As I said to Lorne, congratulations, Ianto. I think you'll make a brilliant father. ^_^

(And, as I mentioned to him, I'm quite partial to his name, too. ~_^ )

Thanks, Hakkai.

(I can't imagine why ;).)

You're welcome. I'll be dropping a small welcome present in the post for him tomorrow, so please look for that soon.

(**chuckles** ~_^ )

Oh, thank you :). That would be lovely.

Congratulations, Ianto. I'm so happy for you both. Kai's lucky ta have such fantastic guys as his parents. Once I feel better, I'll spend some time shopping online and send him something- if that's okay?

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

Thank you :). I hope we do okay by him.

Of course that's all right--we'd love it.

[jk-not-a-mutt.livejournal.com]

How could ya not? You're both kind, loving, intelligent guys with amazing family support. Trust me, Ianto. You and the major are gonna be awesome parents.

*grins* Cool. I'll let you know when I have something on its way.

Thank you, Jou. It's reassuring to know our friends have such confidence in us.

Congratulations to you and Major Lorne both, Ianto! I'm sure you'll make wonderful parents!

Thank you, Tsuzuki. That's a very kind thing to say :).

*chuckles* Welcome to the wonderful world of parenthood, my friend. Perhaps sometime, you and Lorne can bring him to play with our 28. ~_^

Seriously, you're going to do fine. And Kai couldn't ask for better parents.

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

Thank you :).

Maybe when he's a little bigger and the thought of 28 new playmates isn't so terrifying.

Yes... definitely let him get adjusted to you and Lorne, and his new home, first. But the invitation is there, for whenever you feel your family is ready for it.
