The Good News Thread

[Croí na hÉireann]

Good man Croi, get as much sleep now as you can, you will most likely never sleep the same again. Will he/she be a Dub?

Me hole, first sign of a solo we'll be moving back & commuting (herself may not be aware of this yet). Junior Croí is already announcing his/her presence with some painful kicks, could be the first 45 taker in the family 

Could be a real Dub and is just practising kicking in doors!
My oldest (4) has his Dublin top already and its is favourite! We live  around the corner form the Brogan's Plunketts so I am doomed.

I think one of them half and half O'Neills top could be in order for Christmas so, Westmeath maroon that is...

Mrs Onion Bag give birth to our little daughter in the wee hours this morning, everyone 100%
Absolutely delighted, no bad news could knock me off this cloud 9 today

Good stuff OB. Busy nesting myself, our first one due next month, managing to fit in a fair amount of drinking as well before it all goes pear shaped...

Can just imagine baby and Mum arriving home from hospital, locked out as Croí tries to locate the house keys....

You will rescue them Dinny, or they could always go to Magpie Seanie's house.

It's a girl, 8 pounds 6 and a little bruiser to boot. Came out facing the ceiling so not a sign of difficult days to come I hope. Week early as well, reckon she wanted to be out for the U21 final in Thurles tomorrow but Mrs. Croí is refusing to sign the release form. The little one will have to wait for the Gerry Reilly final next Wednesday to make her debut in the maroon and white babygro. Terrified of leaving her in behind reception.

Great stuff Croi, congrats to ye both. Do her a favour though, return to your roots with her, and I don't mean the bridge

Well done

Congrats Croi, get some sleep, and don't start the bed time stories with "wait till I'll tell you about 2004"

Well done Croí. (You don't have to worry about early hours TV if you arrange things right. Just like beer, draught is better than bottled.)

Congrats, Croí.

Bye bye sleep for the foreseeable future but if there is ever an acceptable reason for being woken during the night, your own flesh and blood is it.

Having said that it might be a good way to see the Rugby World Cup.
