Gonna be a dad!

You should be asleep.

Now. This second.

 

Thanks for the update. Keep us posted. Blessings for you and your wife.

 

Getting pregnant from hitting the wrong hole is how God makes liberals.

 

Absolutely x100.

 

Is this your first one? Congratulations and no shit, you need to sleep, eat a meal in peace, and go out to watch a movie.

You'll be fine though. We use to raise them in caves and they're not as fragile as you think.

 

Kid was sleeping through the night from the jump. Went to brunch his first week, a bar at 2 weeks.

Do what you want. It's when they become sick little toddlers that everything goes to crap.

And congrats!

 

Mine didn't sleep through the night until 8 months. Sleeps like a champ now, though.

 

I had two of them and it was a full year basically

 

You won't take a dump in peace for at least 12 years.

But seriously, things are about to change, for the good, and get real crazy, hang on tight.

 

Being a dad is the best thing I do. I l9ve it. Enjoy.

And sleep now.

 

My second one started sleeping all night the 4th night. The other two was up every two to three hours and then slowly started sleeping longer.

 

Probably why we are only gonna have one. We don't want to risk having to be actual parents.

 

Not that only child parents aren't actual parents, but it's a totally different game after one.

 

Yep.

Eric, a bit of advice. If the doctor hands the baby to you first, do not, repeat, do NOT, start walking towards the couch in the room away from Momma. You will never hear the end of it.

 

Yup, and there's no way we're going to 3.

 

Two is enough. I know some people that have 4,5,6+ kids. I don't know how they afford it for one, and then how they have the time. And generally those people are the ones that can least afford it.

Most people I know have 2 kids, and that is it, if any. And that is the general trend in the West.

 

Too late for us. We've got another one due in August.

 

We go to church with three families that are huge families. All three make a good income and the moms stay home. And basically the oldest two kids in each family serve as de facto parent extenders. And their kids are all great kids. I don't know how they've done it, but they do.

We've talked adopting once these two are older a bit more self-sufficient, but I couldn't fathom adding a baby or toddler to the mix right now.

 

You celebrated that UGA win too much, my friend.

 

Thanks again all!

We head up to UT around 9pm tonight to start induction, unless he wants to start before then.

Told the wife I was going to get a GoPro camera on the way up, so we could film it in all its glory. Of course, that was met by "Do you want to die?". Alas, I think a picture after will suffice.
