The New Risley, Born 2/22

After much anticipation (and waiting), my wife and I welcomed Nathan Risley into the world yesterday afternoon. :)

Picture 3Everything went very well. It was a quick labor. He is very healthy and my wife is doing well. As I write this post on my MacBook Pro in our hospital recovery room, we are just a few hours away from heading home. Tonight will be our first night home with him – and our two year old.

Our first night home with my daughter was adventurous. Doing this again with her now being 2 years old is going to make this interesting. Obviously, we want to make our daughter feel as if she is part of the team. It is important for her to help with Nathan and I want to make sure she doesn’t feel left out or jealous. But, it is something all parents deal with with the second child. We’ll figure it out. :)

It’ll also be interesting for me personally as I seek to balance all this out with my business life. I have a couple business trips coming up very soon, plus a business to run. I can’t sit in my office during the day as usual, so I’ll be attempting to do both as well as I can.

So, stage one of our little adventure is over. On to the next stage – life with two kids. :)

    Congratulations David, and good luck with your upcoming travels. Make sure your wife has a webcam so you can see the little ones while away. That always helps to keep me going.

    Congrats, David! I hope your children are able to be as close as I was to my older brother and my son and daughter are to each other. Having a girl and a boy is more than twice the fun of one!

    Happy happy dance! To the pitter patter of little feet and the footprints of new ones.

    G'day David,

    Congratubloodylations! Press on. Practice makes perfect in child rearing as in most other stuff. Spoil the little buggers as much as you can. You, and they, only get one chance and it's over in no time.
    They'll turn into teenagers before you can sneeze.

    To use an old Aussie expression, “Whacko The Chook!”

    Good Luck

    Leon

    Yippie! Congratulations, David.

    A boy – and a girl – is so much fun. Your days going forward are going to be anything but dreary.

    Who wants anything else for entertainment when you have two cute little performers right at home? :)

    Cheers to you, Malika, Elyana and Nathan!

    Very cute. Congrats Mate!

    Since your daughter is only two, she will need some time to adjust.
