I'm glad I never had to deal with that in my lifetime Behr.

Figure of speech, but that girl with the baby on the other page is neckit we just can't see errthang.

That's half neckit.

I ain't gone disagree. But I have a feeling we're missing out on something pretty special.

6lb 13 oz, 21 inches

3 weeks early per the ever-changing due date, but that’s hard to believe, as his weight and length aren’t much less than when his big brother was born.

My kids, on the other hand, were mooses.

Just be thankful he didn't go full engineer and detail every step in the process from conception to birth.

To the males in the room, right? Females remember every step of the way, and curse certain steps in the delivery room. . Oh course, our parents and children never have sex, it’s all a magic trick.

Was making an engineer joke about how they sometimes get bogged down in the details of each step in the process and they bury the lead. (i.e., see the text that Exie got about 4 fish sticks and oh yeah, there's a baby)

Oh yeah, I remember I was called every name in the book during labor. Ha ha

Simmer down, I know. I was married to one.

I used to say, “Men go to war; women have babies,” and we all wind up with our own war stories.

That look. ❤

That look. ❤

Can you imagine what it was like, after being in warm darkness (maybe a little dark red), floating along, just hearing your mom’s heartbeat and her muffled voice and the whoosh-whoosh of all the plumbing, to suddenly be out in a world of hot and cold, loudness and silence, and brightness and colors and shapes and movements?

What a wonderful world.

When do you get to meet that perfect person for the first time?

Tomorrow, I hope!

I can’t visit while they’re in hospital, and the doc wants to do a 30-hour bili (which would be around 1 am Monday ), and then all the usual discharge fol-de-rol. We’re hoping for early afternoon.

And then, please God, I get to sleep in my own bed tomorrow night. Oh right, and with Hubs, but my own bed. Although they do have one helluva mattress. Purple or something?

Between my first and second I heard someone talk about the baby hearing your voice. Crazy how it changed my perspective.

I wished someone had reminded me of that. You always hear that the baby can hear your voice in the womb, but not during the process of delivery.
