    Congratulations Stanley. It's a great feeling but different to having your kids.

    You can be involved as much as you want, then if it gets a bit too much for you then you can walk away until you're ready again.

    I've got 5 and two thirds (6th one due April) so I speak from experience.

    Yes it's amazing. I don't care how hard or tough you feel but the scans always bring a tear to the eye.

    That's good advice TopToon. Also a Grandad's prerogative.
