The Parenting Thread

No doubt.

The first thing my wife wanted me to do when we got settled into our room was for me to turn on the basketball game. She's a keeper.

 

Good luck guys. Embrace the grey hairs you're about to get. It's the best thing that ever happened to you, but you also only thought you had worries. I've been to children's twice this week already with sicklings. I'm not an emotional guy but I've cried my way home both times.

 

Don't lock your knees.

 

Chief not doing any better?

 

At times. O2 levels are still low.

 

Been in the room for 8 hours, she's at 4 cm. I've gotten zero sleep and bored as hell. My family and the in-laws look like the Beverly Hillbillies hanging out in the waiting room.

 

Anything new?

 

She's at 5 now. Epidural didn't take, so she had about an hour and a half of hellacious contractions which caused her bp to spike and the baby's heart rate to drop. Everything is fixed and all is well and she is sleeping like a baby. I've been up 27 straight hours with no end in sight.

 

Just wait till he/she gets here and you really won't sleep.

Glad to know everything's going well now

 

Thankfully for kiddo #1 I had Kiffin leaving the night before to keep me occupied until showtime.

For kiddo #2 she didn't have time for an epidural, and at one point I thought she had broken my thumb squeezing so hard.

 

Healthy baby boy born at 9:33. It went from being at 5 to "holy shit time to push" in record time. Everything went great.

 

Congrats utv#

 

Thanks, lm.

 

Have you taught him to say "Go to Hell, Alabama" yet?

 

Congratulations

 

big congrats.

 

Wife is 9 1/2 weeks pregnant. Seems like it goes by fast.

 

We are looking for my oldest son's first car ... turns 16 this summer. Yes it goes by fast ... very fast.

 

Regular cab ford ranger imo.

Cheap and not enough room to get more than one or two other people in it.

Buy him something kind of junky.

My first was a 79 Ford Bronco. I beat that thing to pieces. I bought 35" super swampers from a yard sale, cut my fenders with a grinder so I could steer and thought it was bad ass.

 

Lol ... he wants an 85 CJ7 so that's what we are looking for. Something in decent shape that we can do some work on. His mom wants him to have a civic but he's been pretty defiant with that concept.
