Their birthdays are one week apart. Good luck OP and congrats |

Congrats y’all! My oldest daughter is in college now… time flies. Enjoy every minute you can, and don’t show your temper at the small stuff if you can prevent it. That’s my advice…
Thanks for the laughs all! |

I ordered a pizza on day 3 of our hospital stay after the birth of our daughter. Wife was PISSED at me because the Dr said she could only eat what they put on the list. Hospital food sucks. Joke was on me because after our daughter had one of those nasty shits (1st time i'd ever seen it) I completely lost my appetite.
 it went like this as I looked disgusted and closed the pizza box: Wife: why are you grossed out? You gut deer and fish with your bare hands! Me: that's different. . . After a couple months of changing diapers nothing grosses you out anymore. |

If she doesn't do that in the next day or so, make sure you point that out to her.

You should buy her a gift when she gets home.
A new Shark Rotator vacuum should fit the bill. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By pestilence12: The ol midnight update. Almost there. Probably in the next hour or so. Wife screamed for the epidural, and she damn sure earned it. Vomiting from pain, screaming, white knuckles. I know guys joke about it but i was thinking she was actually gonna break my finger. She almost passed out and the midwife was like please get the epi. Wife said this is way worse than our first. Sge was very upset about calling it. I told her she didn't give up, she is still fighting with tools to help. She's not happy about it but she's getting some much needed shuteye. I got shot in the hand as a teenager, I begged for a nerve block My wife's a warrior.Thanks for all the replies guys. I do really like Oliver as a name. Wish we had though of it. My great great grandfather, fought in WW1, his name was Harold. Just an incredible man. Lost his arm and leg from an artillery direct hit. Laid in the field for 2 days waiting for rescue. Came home. Built a farm, orchard, and barn with one arm and leg. And tools he could attach to his prosthetic. Raised a whole family selling pecans and almonds in California. Shepherd will be raised to be a brave, honest man. Like his grand- and great-grandfather. Our house is full of love and the love of God. Any time, boys. Any time now. Let's roll. Glad she's got some rest, I'm sure the little man is now here and healthy. I like the name Shepherd, great choice. |

Have you discussed her exercise and diet plan yet? These things must be established before leaving the hospital. See other thread.
