00:05what do we remember from the day Lara was born how happy we were I didn't know if we were
00:11gonna
00:11be like emotional and crying and sensitive but we were genuinely really happy we danced we sang
00:18that's why we decided a little bitty pretty one would be the song she was born it was like a
00:23celebration wasn't it it was a celebration I was stressed at first because there was about
00:2712 bags to look after and to get to the hospital yeah that was that was eventful but then I
00:32just
00:32remember that moment I keep saying it but it was magical it was like magic yeah I think I
00:38definitely cried first yeah you cried first and I cried the most yeah baby yeah I think I cried
00:45first and then you definitely took over it was the moment they dropped the curtain and we saw her face
00:49for the first time that it was just I don't know so special I broke tears I broke I broke
00:57how do we settle on a baby's name basically long story short Jeanette found it I found it Jeanette
01:03picked it am I not it no but you really liked it as soon as he heard Lyra he went
01:10oh that's it
01:11that's her name I was still a little bit like is it is it not do we wait but it
01:16was Lyra you're welcome
01:18yeah thank you you're welcome thank you this is a debate who is better with Lyra in the night feeds
01:25now Aliash has quite a happy hyper high energy about him believe it or not I'm quite calm I'm
01:33hyper and happy too but I'm quite calm more calm than you are as a person so in the evenings
01:37when
01:38I do the night feeds Lyra eats she's burps and then she goes right back to sleep with Aliash not
01:45so much
01:46so I'm gonna take credit for that I think I'm better at the night feeds I'm wearing a lot of
01:52makeup so you can't see my bags but whenever I do the night feed as soon as we finish the
01:57feed we stare
01:58at one another for about two hours she's up and she always wins the staring competition every day
02:04every night yeah how has motherhood and fatherhood surprised us I think the most surprising thing for
02:10me is I never thought that I'm gonna love anything as much as I love you or anyone you know
02:16and then
02:17yeah I mean normally you talk about that kind of stuff but you meant that one I don't I mean
02:20it I really
02:20meant it yeah and uh when you see your son or your daughter for the first time is that unconditional
02:27love
02:28and I don't say that our love is conditional but when you see something you know right in front of
02:33you that you know all that little thing needs is your love like there is nothing else you want to
02:38give and uh that's the most surprising thing really for me I think that that's same that connection that
02:44you have with your baby I look into her eyes and I feel completely lost in them it's so deep
02:50that love
02:50is so so deep nothing compares what's the next celebration so we've just had four and a half weeks
02:58of family over which felt like a massive long celebration that was a five-week celebration I
03:03would say it was big I'm tired big celebration Christmas is around the corner yes and uh we do
03:12one year Slovenia one year Miami but her first Christmas is going to be in Slovenia it is I think
03:18it's gonna be perfect actually because it'll feel quite cozy we'll have a nice warm fireplace it'll be like
03:23in the woods in the cabin like how when we go to Slovenia just feels quaint and warm I wish
03:29it was
03:29Christmas now oh she's gonna get her first Christmas presents as well oh gosh but maybe for her first
03:36birthday we throw three birthday parties what do you reckon not again Disney themed there we go
03:45three different Disney themes ha ideas are flowing ideas are flowing ideas are flowing I'm an uncle I've been
03:52an uncle I mean the world knew you were an uncle you shouted it I've been an uncle for almost
03:56five
03:57years now but the difference between being an uncle and being a dad when a diaper is full when you're
04:03an uncle you just extend your arms when you're a dad you collect your arms so that's the biggest
04:09difference speaking of I think I need to do a change change the diaper he does love to change the
04:14diaper
04:22you
