I'm a dad now!

[mainegreen]

Wow. My wife gave birth to a boy after 24 hours of active labor and 5 hours of pushing, all with no drugs. Not even advil. I must say I am in awe of her. She is the toughest person I have ever met. I was in the room the whole time and only fainted once, near the end. I did cut the cord however. Wow. Just wow. So now I have the cutest totally healthy baby boy. I'd like to introduce the world to little Forrest:


Isn't he cute? I don't know what else to say than the sleep loss is worth it!!!
:D

I keep trying to convince her she's a fun bot and she keeps insisting she's a manners bot.

No joke!

21. Congratulations! How exciting!

I had the same kind of birth w/ my first. 24 hour labor, 5 hours of pushing, no drugs. Ouch. My son was sunnyside up, as they say. But, he was definitely worth it.

Yours is adorable! You are in for lots of fun and laughter. Enjoy! :hi:
