(Also known as Jack) A mere few minutes old. After he got cleaned up a bit and was on his way to the weigh in.  Another shot of him after his weigh in.  The three of us getting to know each other without doctors, nurses and craziness. The kid's got one hell of a head of hair on him- he was actually born with sideburns. ------------- ? |

No, all God. Sheets and stain nothing.
No kidding. With Rambs keeping his poopy on his head and the rest of us flinging it around everywhere (while a select few used it as logic), confining it all to a diaper should be heaven. Also, get him into PBC, ASAP. We'll teach him how to be the cool kid in the playpen. -------------

If that is the case, Jack will be just kidding when he shows signs of slow/non-existent neurological development (you may have to take him to the neurologist and spend lots of money to get him tested, though). Srsly though, congrats. Is he armed yet? If the first thing he says is something other than "BOOM, HEADSHOT!" or he doesn't ask to go zombie-survival training by the time he is four, then you shan't be a mod any longer. -------------

I was genuinely worried that he'd come out funny looking. I have a friend from college whose baby sadly looked like the south end of a north bound St. Bernard. It eventually turned into a good looking kid, but as a newborn? woof. Its just an added bonus that he wasn't ugly on arrival, he won't have a complex when we show him his baby pictures in a few years. ------------- ? |

Congratulations, Reb! Well done.

But mostly for the better... :)

Again, thanks everybody. They're still holding my wife for observation here, though I can't understand why. "Everything went perfectly" keeps being said, but they want to keep her here until tomorrow sometime. In the meantime, I'm learning that diapers can contain some of the most horrifying sights you'll ever see in your life.....especially since the little bastard is fond of waiting until you take the damn things OFF before he starts downloading. The day he becomes potty trained will be the second greatest day of my life. ------------- ? |

Prepare yourself for a flood of every single feeling known to humankind. From fear and anxiety, to awe and love, cold and warm sweats, immeasurable joy, crippling diarrhea and more. In the end, its nothing short of amazing. Also, as an added bonus, if you've ever gutted a deer, you know what the delivery room will smell like during the process. And: be warned of one word that can drop a man to the floor quicker than a shot to the balls from a stiletto: Afterbirth. Look away. For the love of God, don't make the same mistake that I did. Look away. I know I'm ruining the surprise because they never, ever warn you about it....but seriously.....look away. ------------- ? |

A video would be bad, but the whole experience cannot be considered complete without the smell. That part was bad. But the whole thing, was really rather awesome. In fact, not 10 minutes after the little guy was handed to us, had we both nearly forgotten the agony of the previous few hours. I think there's a chemical in the brain that erases or at least eases the memory of the pain you deal with just before birth, almost as soon as its over. My aunt was in labor for 36 hours with each of her three kids. If there's not something in the brain that numbs the memory of that awfulness, there'd be a mot more single child families around. ------------- ? |

haha I know the feeling. I decided to stay up by my wife to 'support' her, I only glanced at the mirror they had set up once, and even then it was like looking directly at the sun, it was brief, my eyes hurt, and I felt dizzy afterwards. I went to a friends house a few years back and he attempted to show us a video of their home birth in a wading pool, I thought they were joking but no, so I just left.

When changing little boys it is best to not leave the area in question uncovered for any longer than necessary. (They can get some impressive range and the temp change from warm diaper to exposed seems to prime the pump.) -------------

Yeah, I've been warned about the afterbirth. We're doing the midwife thing at a birth center. More than likely a water birth. So, I'm sure we'll go from nice clean water to thin tomato soup over time. If she thinks I'm getting in the tub with her, she has another thing coming.
Reb, did they have to do some vigorous massage on your wife's belly to help pass the AB? My buddy said they were literally beating on his wife's abdomen to deliver the AB.

Bet you didn't know that some cultures EAT the afterbirth... thats a fact...
And about them going after the diaper is removed... That is so true, happened to me more than once. Typically when you are exhaused and not thinking clearly. Talk about a shock! at 3:00am. I got pretty good at opening the diaper, (while remembering not to breath for the next 60 seconds) waiting a few seconds, and then pushing it back down to cover the impending fountain. No use wasting another diaper. ------------- They tremble at my name...

Congrats. When people talk about the beauty of childbirth, I shiver from the AB experience. Also had the pleasure of getting to actually cut the cord. Not sure if they do that anymore. Like cutting a thick skinned hotdog with a pair of pruning shears. I nearly barfed. Not sure which is worse regular childbirth or C-section. Something about seeing your wife strapped to a table with her belly open is about as frightening. Buckle up and get ready for the ride.

Huh. I didn't think the placenta was that big a deal.
And holding your wife for observation is normal. Fact of the matter is that only in the US are mothers every released the day after delivery. In civilized countries, you stay for a few days regardless, because that is the medically responsible thing to do.
Childbirth is messy, and there are a million things that can happen, to mother or child. So they keep you around to make sure.
That said, I do shudder to think of childbirth in the old days, or even in poorer parts of the world today. 200 years ago I suspect my son would have been stillborn and the daughter dead within days, and my wife would have died during the first delivery. Today, both were fairly routineish. Amazing.

Reb, when you change the diaper on a boy, be sure to aim his epeen DOWN before you close up the diaper. Unless you like changing crib sheets.. Stand to the side out of the line of fire, he will shoot from both ends from time to time (when you least expect to get hit too) and as Mack said, with some range and force. Mylikon (? I can't remeber ow it is spelled), the stuff is great for little gassy babies. Oh and look for a manly diaper bag. I used an old Clayore mine bag with a Slayer patch on it. ------------- Innocence proves nothing FUAC!!!!! |

Yo, greetings peeps.
First off, Pops, get a haircut. Your starting to look like a chia pet with all the frizz, and it tickles. And I want you to make sure you get some good stuff for me, none of that girly stuff. No pink, ever. Camo is what I like, although it will be a while till I can talk, but if you have any questions just ask. I can type fine.
Oh, yeah, I'm hungry.
