First child!
 

Well, I never really said anything, but my wife is 38 weeks pregnant and we checked in the hospital last night so they could induce labor. There were some minor issues so that's why they are inducing two weeks early. It's 5:50am and they will give her the medicne to induce at 6am and then we wait!

Wish us luck!

Congratulations! Post pictures when you get a chance! :)

Congrats on the baby, and good luck!

Good luck and congratulations!

can i have it? LOL jk jk Congrats man! wish you and her, and the baby the best!

AWESOME man! Congratulations!

Nothing beats watching your kid grow up. I hope he comes out with all his fingers, all his toes, and a nice healthy heart! :)

:D


oh yah, and dont shake the baby

lol

congrats. I have 2, they're more fun than you're ready for.

Note... when my wife was induced with the first one the pitosin drip made her go all pale and that was really unnerving be prepared for her to look like she's in a really bad way and just communicate with the docs if you're worried. Also don't let them tell you it's too early for the epidural after she dilates to 5cm if your wife is in enough discomfort to want it she needs it and induced births are always more uncomfortable.

Thanks for the advice. Still no baby! The doc is going to be here in a few minutes to see where things are.

hopefully he knows things are still in that hole right thar.

OH hey something nobody tells you about... the babys smell kinda funny when they first come out... in fact, the whole birthing process smells kinda funny.

Lmao.

Congrats jjtgiants!

congrats!

:orlysmiley:

ahha

congrats man!!!

Congrats!! It's the best thing ever. But the process is messy and smelly but the outcome is well worth it. Can't wait to see the pics. :)

Congrats man. I'm sure everything is gonna turn out just fine.

thanks for all your support!

Baby Hayden was bon on November 25 @ 10:33am. She was 6lbs 7oz and 19.5 inches long and in perfect health.

Congratulations man! great feeling isnt it?

Hey,... remember what sleep is?.... hahahaha

congrats, man!!!

Congrats jjt. Just remember, when baby naps, tell mom to nap too. Sleepless nights may agitate some parents, but it's not the babys fault. Just be ready to wake up and do the daddy relief. Most times it's just a bottle, or a diaper change, but it will happen at all hours. LOL, the first few weeks are mostly easy cause he will proabaly sleep 18 hours a day. But, after a few more weeks. Be prepared. And by all means post any questions you have about, How to's and what not's. Plenty of advice will be at your hands. Been there done that.. :)

Oh, and another thing, Be sure to Burp the little guy often, unless you want to wear formula on your shoulder..
