K was another one who was terrified of holding new borns- if they're not crying leave them alone, if they *are* crying obviously they want their mums! Now he's a contender for dad of the year, even as the girls get older, cheekier and the bathtime questioning gets decidedly more embarrassing! I'm sure you'll both be fine. Oh wow- what a weekend!

We got the cool blanket for Ryu - thank you so so much. He'll have covered it in slobber in no time. He has just started really sucking his hands and his fingers so not long till he wants to put 'things' in there too. What a full on but fun weekend!

I had a lot of fun, and I loved the gifts for Missha. I'm so glad you managed to get so many cute shots too.. I'll have to print them out next batch and stick them in a album =) Glad you all had fun on Sunday as well... I hope to meet Melanie and Cassie sometime too =) This time next year we'll ALL have little ones.. We might have to rent a hall just to be able to all meet up in the same room haha. So exciting.

I'm sure Shun will be less apprehensive with his own kid -- there's a big difference between other people's kids and your own, no matter how close you are with the kid's parents. Shoot, I'm not even a guy and I'm still a bit nervous about handling newborns that aren't my own, because they're so little and fragile and, most of all, you don't want to be the one responsible for starting them crying and causing a hassle for the mom and dad! With your own kids you don't really have a choice in the matter, if you don't hold them who else will? And I think, even for men, instinct takes over in a way and they are much more comfortable with their own baby. I'd take it as a good sign that Shun says he won't worry about breaking Goma-chan -- apparently he's gonna be a natural! What a busy weekend for you, but it looks like you all had a lot of fun!

Hmmm....not sure if you should be worried or not that he isn`t afraid of breaking or hurting Goma-chan. Can`t wait to meet up again, we had lots of fun, hard to believe the next time I`ll have a little one and more than likely you will too!!

I'm glad Sarah is able to get out to do these kinds of things, especially after having to stay with her MIL for so long! My husband was freaked out to hold babies, too. A lot of our friends had babies before we did so I made him practice so he was a little bit more confident but when Emi was born I could tell he was trying to overcome his fears each time he held her. Now he's an old pro and he watches the kids for me all day on Tuesday, making dinner and putting them to bed. I just kept making him do it even if he did things differently than I did I just kept encouraging him. Shun will get the hang of it, just let him try as often as I could.
