PS: Thank you, I'm very happy, despite my superior level of intelligence!

the mother is confirmed, but whether you are the father or not, how you can be sure?
almost always friendly and polite

Cause you're the only bloke in HK that's better looking than me, and my wife's never met you!

Thanks, I can't wait! Mid november sometime... though it's very early days yet.
Went looking at "baby stuff" yesterday, and OMFG it's sooo expensive! The poor little begger will have to compete with his dad's expensive habbits!

BB's Top Baby Tips
start boil washing some of your clobber now...by november it should be baby sized and will fit...
for the first few months no need to worry about blue for boys and pink for girls...as they all look the opposite....
do the opposite of what your wife says when baby is concerned....it adds spice to the home...

Hey! Congrats to you! Join the daddy club! and yes kiddie things are expensive but you will get used to it mate... The smile on their little faces when you buy them that outfit / toy, is just out of this world...

BB that is pretty good advice. You sound pretty experienced.
Caution: this post contains content that might lead to unrealistic expectation in real relationships. keep out of reach of immature people.

x-A> Buy baby clothes down the lanes or at markets etc. The buggers grow out of them so quickly that it's just plain stupid to pay Mothercare prices for stuff they'll wear for about 10 minutes before puking up/pooping into them...

More BB's Top Baby Tips
If you/or wife must have a designer label item for little 'un, take a weekday, and i can't stress strongly enough weekday, trip to Stanley and get the factory 2nds down there... at a fraction of the OshKosh/Gap price...
Buy Avent Bottles and sterilising kit... it is the mutts nuts and the bits are stronger than brands like Pigeon...
When bathing baby, get them used to water at an early age by using something way too big to wash their hair.... toy boat/toy cup etc...

Congrats!
It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than open ones mouth and remove all doubt.
