Becoming a dad...
Posted by: reubs1981 on 08 November 2009
Hi all,
Been registered here a long timme, but I usually only post in the Music Room - I haven't got a Naim system, in fact, because in the next week I expect to be a dad, I've barely got any system at all. A B+W Zeppelin, iPod Classic and plenty of rips are my listening pleasure.
Anyway, I know there is a least one recent new dad on this forum, so I thought I'd blow my own trumpet and tell you about my blog

Pleae feel free to read it if you have a few minutes and maybe fill me in on the joys to come my way - and please contribute to the birthing playlist!

Thanks for the support guys - we're going through the wringer at the moment, but it's going to be worth it!
I hope you will still be saying that in say 3 or 4 years, maybe even after 4 or 5 weeks.
Oh no, he is an old man , just not as old as some (i.e. me). 
My youngest 2 are very similar ages to Stu's boy and girl, but reversed, I do have a 42 YO as well.

2 months of fatherhood here and it's been great.
I don't understand the perceived need for library-like silence surrounding babies. If our experience is at all representative, they can get used to (almost) anything.
We’re still running active SBLs. The lad was welcomed home to Kruder and Dorfmeister at realistic volume, he has Radio 3 on constantly during the day and the usual mix of Jazz and other stuff at night. He takes it all in his stride.
He did hear two Ring Cycles in utero, so perhaps this helped!
