Default That's it! I'm a father now!!!

This is one of the first picture of my son Felix, born on May 2nd in Barcelona.
It was taken after his first bath, which he didn't like at all

Since I spend a lot of time on this forum, I felt I had to let you guys know, even if the picture is far from perfect.

A Belgian mother, a French father, born in Spain and conceived in England... a true European!

Cheers

This is really cute, it's a tad dark, but it's a baby. It's hard to take a bad shot of a baby.

Well actually, I think new new borns are ugly, so I'm kind of surprised how cute he is.

It's pretty crazy to think that I will never meet your son but I got to see him just after he was born!

Thanks so much for your nice comments!

It's indeed a new life! I don't know what my wife put in the milk yesterday, but last night was terrible...
He is normally quite calm, but yesterday he just wouldn't sleep. As a result, I'm a zombie Today...

Actually my wife and I forced ourselves to believe, before the birth, that he was going to be ugly because we basically agree with you.
But the fact is that you never really know if they are handsome or not since:
1) you're the parents so you will find them nice anyway
2) other people won't tell you if your kid looks like Chucky

Bottom line, we are happy and obviously we find him cute!

Thanks Sam!

That's the beauty of this forum! Well I have also seen your wife wearing a bikini and jumping in the swimming pool (35L thread)!
It's funny how people share some of their privacy on public forums while they can be reluctant of being recorded when they call a customer center (I mean maybe not in the US, but in Europe people are a little paranoid regarding the respect of private life).
Anyway, I like to share these moments with you guys. I see some names so often that I feel I know you personally
