Title: I'm a daddy
Post by: dezignersrepublic on January 05, 2005, 09:42:56 PM
My wife gave birth to our first child (a baby girl) last night after a gruelling labour lasting 36 hours.  Mother and baby are both healthy but understandably a little tired.

We havent decided on a name yet, will most likely do that when my wife is discharged from the hospital, although I'm going to let her choose the name beause she did all the hard work.

I was discussing this very subject with my missus after she'd had a few beers last night (i was sober).  She is studying to be a midwife, and she was prattling on like women do about blokes not being able to take the pain they go through in child birth.  I pointed out that if men did indeed have to go through child birth, that we would suffer pain at all.

Not because we can tolerate it more, as I think women can take more pain than we ever could, but because we would have an epidural on the first contraction, morphine on an IV drip, all the gas and air we could get our hands on and any other drugs the hospital had available swigged down by a bottle of vodka.

Which proves my point "Men wouldn't suffer the pain of childbirth".  We too smart you see! :-D

Wow, Top result :-D

My congratulations to you and your good lady!

36 hours, eh? Blimey... So, after the first few hours, were you nursing a crushed hand and listening to angered shouts of "You are NEVER touching me AGAIN!" ?

Congratulations sir, and welcome mini-dezignersrepublic to our world.  Here's wishing all three of you all the very best for the future.

Who knows, perhaps you could be hearing the words "I'd like to thank the Nobel committee...." in roughly 25 years time!

:-D

Get used to tired.
My oldest is now 8 and her brother is 4. I have had two nights of good sleep in those 8 years.

It's good though.
Enjoy.

Congratulations Dezigners!

If I remeber correctly, you don't drink, so I'll have one for all three of you.
:pint: :pint: :pint:

(I'm actually washing my curry down with Irn Bru just now but this is a great excuse for a beer. :-D)

May your sleepless nights be merciful.

Actually my girlfriend, who's also from Leeds, has been talking about having kids lately.
Scared the bejeezurs out of me, I can tell you. :lol:

One day though..... :-)

Aaaaaaagggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!  Nothing fills me with more dread than when my g/f gets broody.

I think I'm allergic to children, I have absolutely no ambitions of spawning just yet.  I think that my biological clock is defective! :lol:
