Bobossino is born

Over the last few months we've been talking (very very very tentatively) about adopting a second child.

Know whatcha mean. G and I have often discussed the possibility of adopting. Unfortunately all the offers we've sent to Dermot O'Leary have been returned unopened.

Shame. I want a ginger, so will try for Damien Lewis next.

I do admire people who adopt very small children that need lots of looking after though. Takes all sorts.

They make you type up the notes from the labour yourself? I'm aghast.

Boboss - congrats to you and kudos to Mrs B. Sleepless nights, shit and puke ahoy, but outweighed by the joy and fun. (Zoot is today spending his first day out of nappies. Wish I could say the same for me).

Oh, and Haus, if Ganesh and Xoc really do adopt you, can I have first sitcom rights?

11:40 / 13.03.06

If - big big if - we decided to do it, we would go for a baby. I know older kids need parents to, and I admire anyone willing to take them on, but we don't want to run the risk of bringing a child with, er, difficulties into our family.

Selfish I know, but I think you have to be very honest with yourself when even entertaining the idea of adoption.

Fly, I know, it can't be helped. There's so much MINDLESS BUREAUCRACY and WASTAGE and BAD MANAGEMENT in the NHS it's just easier to do it yourself.

Sax, you only wear 'em 'cause they're sexy.

11:44 / 13.03.06

Sax, you're not a fan of the Diaper-Free movement, then?

I suppose you could train the baby to use a litter tray instead, as a half way house.

"(Mmm mmm-mmm mmm, mmm-mmm mmm mmm-mmm) ...And all of this happens because the world is waiting, waiting for one child... (Mmm mmm-mmm MMM, MMM-mmm mmm mmm-mmm!) Black, white, yellow, no-one knows. (Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm, mmm-mmm mmm mmm-mmm!) But a child that will grow up and turn tears to laughter, hate to love, war to peace and everyone to everyone's neighbour. (Mmm mmm mmm mmm, mmm-mmm mmm mmm-mmm!) And misery and suffering will be words to be forgotten, forever..."

Mega Congratulations!

12:36 / 13.03.06

..and is Bobossino's birthday thus the 12th? That's the best birthday ever, everyone knows. Pisces rool and are too kool for skool.

13:02 / 13.03.06

Welcome to the club.

You poor son-of-a-bitch.

13:25 / 13.03.06

Thanks, Jack. (I think)

Q, a very close family friend died of cancer on the 12th last year so the birth date has done a good job of bringing some joy to what looked set to be a pretty miserable day.

That's fantastic mate. I can't believe you are teh Dad1!!1

13:53 / 13.03.06

At this point, with a new baby in the house, I think you're noble for even entertaining the notion of having another, no matter how it gets there.

Have fun with the newbie! Have you been introducing things?

"Bobossino, this is wind! And look, over there, it's a river!"

14:06 / 13.03.06

Unfortunately no, mainly because Bobosso and baby are in hospital and I'm at work/home. I'll be popping over to see them in an hour or so, however, and they'll be home tomorrow, so I expect to become teh introducy freak then.

14:13 / 13.03.06

Babiesbabiesbabiesbabies, delightful! Wehey! Congratulations.

14:37 / 13.03.06

12th march is also the birthday of Pete Doherty, Ron Jeremy and Jack Kerouac!

14:52 / 13.03.06

Crack Porn Roadtrip it is! In Eighteen years time all of us Twelfthers are going to go to VEGAS BABY VEGAS!

14:55 / 13.03.06

Vegas, Scotland of course as we'd have to wait until Bobossino is 21 to drink in Las Vegas which would suck.

Goodness Gracious Meme

As an aside, I hope this thread doesn't read like heteronormative colonisation, or an attempt to privilege birth over adoption or fostering.

following all the weekend's excitement, perhaps you could do with a break from barbelith?

Gumby: maybe boboss is just being, y'know, thoughtful?

PS boboss, have been looking at babyhat patterns online. Squee.

18:06 / 13.03.06

Excellent

18:23 / 13.03.06

Vegas, Scotland of course as we'd have to wait until Bobossino is 21 to drink in Las Vegas which would suck.

Quantum, babies suck when they drink. It's what they do.

21:47 / 13.03.06

You are teh evil dad

22:14 / 13.03.06

Triplets and Cass, where are you guys?

00:20 / 14.03.06

Physically or "where are my baby praises?"

Already whooped on the Babyboss being born thread but a second go couldn't hurt:

YAY BABYBOSS!

Disco is My Class War

00:27 / 14.03.06

Congrats!

paranoidwriter waves hello

00:28 / 14.03.06

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Boboss. And welcome to the world little one.

09:17 / 14.03.06

So, is he talking yet?

10:24 / 14.03.06

More importantly, is he posting yet?

Congratulations .... and;

Yeah, you know what this is
It's a celebration, bitches!
Grab a drink, grab a glass
After that, I grab yo ass
See you know my style
I'm very wild
And I vow that my child will be well endowed
Like his daddy
And tell him that your mama had a fattie
He looked up at me said, "daddy that's the reason why you had me?"
Yep,
we was praticing
Til one day your ass bust through the packaging
You know what though? You my favorite accident
So go head pop some Cristal
For my newborn child cuz now
Y'all know what this is
It's a celebration, bitches!
grab a drink, grab a glass
after that I grab yo ass
But, I just thought you should know
We hit the liquor store
got some cris and some mo
and we about to let it floooooow
had some problems before but see we let em go
got an ounce of that draw
and we about to let it bloooooow.

Of course with all due respect to the lovely Miss Boboss etc.

19:58 / 14.03.06

So, how's the young creature enjoying the home?

20:17 / 14.03.06

Congrats Boboss and welcome young Bobossino!!

12:00 / 15.03.06

Thanking you all muchly.

How's he enjoying home? Well, I'm not sure he's sufficiently aware of his environment to have much of opinion. If it ain't in skin to skin contact or it's further away than about 25cm (newborns usually can't focus on anything further away than 25cm) or it's not an interesting noise it pretty much doesn't exist.

He seems happy enough, however - he should be, he gets nothing but attention and kisses - and is very active and curious. Unfortunately there is bad mixed with the good.
He doesn't like being naked, probably 'cause he was so very overdue and got more than a little used to the tight safety of the womb, and he pretty much wants to be constantly held. He's also very keen on breastfeeding - perhaps too keen, as he seems to be just as interested in sucking for suckings sake*, as he is in actually having something to eat. Needless to say poor Bobosso isn't getting a lot of sleep, and I'm left feeling super guilty.

All that said, it's lovely to have them both home.

*He has tried sucking on my nipples. It is teh babycute!!11!

14:05 / 15.03.06

Hearty congrats and great to hear it all worked out. Sounded quite scary. Look forward to seeing young Bobossino... < throaty rasp > "Greetings young one. Welcome to our dying world... "

17:11 / 15.03.06

Sweet.

Good skills.

PS I thought you were your brother.

I think.
