Glad to hear things are getting better. I too hate seeing kids/babies hooked up to medical equipment as eguns-com said. My son weighed 10lbs. 13oz :eek: - hence the necessity of that c-section! It is amazing the feelings and emotions you’ll experience with your kids. It is as close to unconditional love as I think is possible to experience this side of heaven ![]()
Congrats!!!
All will be fine, I just had twins recently and experienced some of the things you are going through, so I know exactly how you feel. My daughter had the oxygen issue and slow feeding, but they get passed it. My son was eating within 30 minutes of being born, so I know he really belongs to me!!
Congrats and sure hope went your son makes it home that you get a good night sleep at least once a week ![]()

PS: My son got to put his hands on my new LMT piston rifle that I got on Friday and I sure can’t wait for the twins to go with daddy to shoot!!
Congratulations!
Prayers sent, and congratulations!

At least the modern way of doing it is much better. When my son was circumcised 5 years ago they just stuck a little plastic ring under the foreskin and let it fall off naturally or something like that. Better than a knife!
Congratulations!
Really hope the little guy gets that tube out soon, but otherwise sounds like he will be fine.

GREAT NEWS!!
Good to hear … interestingly my wife delivered our daughter via c-section as well on the 10th.

Congrats on the dude coming home!
My suggestion:
Get a Maya Wrap (or similar S American style baby sling) (http://www.mayawrap.com/ no I have no interest in the company and get nothing from it) and YOU, the dad, carry the baby when you go out in public.
Your baby will have more than enough attachment to mom as caregiver and milk bottle. If you are the prime carrier in public and use an up close and personal sling like the Maya wrap your kid will develop a strong and close relationship with you.
I am doing this now with our 9 month old daughter and did it with our 5 year old son when he was a baby (up through 18 months or more) and both have very strong daddy attachments and like (as well as mommy).
Plus, your wife carried the baby for 9 months – now it is your turn…
Don’t carry the baby around in the car seat carrier like most people do. That is an impersonal detached way of doing it. The babies like to hear your heart beat and feel your body heat and also smell your smells. (disclaimer: I occasionally do carry the daughter now that she is 9months in the car seat if I stop to pick up milk or something and don’t have the sling with me in the truck or car but I try and avoid it in most cases)

Congratulations. Mine are both around 30 now, and I truly miss those hectic days–gives you a real reason for living.
Just to show you what they can and will do–my son soloed at age 16, now flies commercially, is bumping 5000 hours now. My daughter went to Gunsite at 21. She called me today–drove a team of two Belgian draft horses for the first time @ 2000 pounds (?!) apiece; higher than a kite.
They sure changed my life, and all for the better.
God bless you and your family.
Congrats man :o
Awesome to hear. Congrats ![]()
