    Buy baby clothes a size larger. Everyone will get newborn size for you.

    Make the most of your belongings - they won't be yours once the baby can stand up.

    Have your nervous breakdown now - get it out of the way.

    Don't buy every gadget or swanky product you see - you survuved with a crappy cot & cheap nappies!

    Say goodbye to holidays.

    It's a lie that you don't sleep with a baby.

    Get a PC with a locking front. Toast is a bugger to remove from a CD drive.

    Mum - sleep when the baby sleeps. Don't try to do housework cos you'll be knackered if you do.

    Become a child again in every way possible. Enjoy the toys!!

    Ebay is your new best friend. Seriously, we've got a lot of our stuff off there. As clothes have a limited life span for babies, the stuff you get off Ebay is usually top quality. We've had many items that haven't even been worn before, with the 'Next' or whatever label still attached.

    Why pay top whack for something that'll only get worn a few times? And you'll be able to flog them on too. The same can be applied for toys.

    Get your parents/in laws to buy the new and expensive stuff, you just stick to Ebay.

    Oh, and congratulations by the way :)

    Also do us a favour, dont go on any holidays abroad for the first few years.

    Cant stand screaming babies on a flight ! Must admit once i have kids i've sworn to myself i wont go abroad till the babies a bit older and not screaming/crying constantly.

    And please dont put a 'baby in back, drive slowly' type of sticker in the back of your car !!

    Enjoy every moment, even the shitty ones. It's amazing how fast the years go.

    Video as much as you can, not only will you be able to re-live those times at a later date but you'll have a serious embarassment tool when they bring home their first girlfriend/boyfriend.

    Embrace parenthood. Don't be one of those parents who farm their kids out to babysitters every weekend cos:
    (a) the kids your responsiblity and it's down to you to look after and involve them in as much of your life as possible.

    (b) You'll miss so many of those unexpected 'moments' that make being a parent the best job in the world.

    (c) Being a family is cool.

    Oh and best of all, take the kid down the supermarket or into town to do some shopping on your own. There's no better babe magnet than a baby... :lol:
    I know, I had 3 girls hit on me within a month when shopping in Tesco's!!!!
    I wanna tell you a story 'bout a woman I know...

    I can back that up. Never had as much luck as I do when I take the cute one out. Mind you, I usually blow it with lines like 'I think he's hungry - would you mind?'
