Baby was born on Wednesday. Everything went fine. I couldn't be happier to have a new baby boy.

But I have to ask a question to all the fathers out there. Being in the delivery room, was it a magical moment or did you just feel like you were in the way?

It was pretty awesome, my wife had some complications form her epidural, mainly that the right side of her body when completely numb but not the left side and they had to give her pitocin afterwards because the epidural was slowing the contractions and they were worried that the labor would stop completely.

So she was shaking involuntarily and just overall didn't feel good, so I holding a wrapped up towel by one end that she pulled from the other end during her contractions to give her something to help push with and it also allowed her to focus on my face and not the room.

She also had a narrow pubic bone so they had to cut her vagina at the bottom damn near to her arsehole, I almost lost it there.

my baby was too big for natural birth. i did like jsquared did. in case you are wondering, my girl was 9 lb 4 oz and 22". the wife was sad at first that she couldn't give birth naturally, but seeing our girl got rid of that with a quickness.

Congrats.

It was magical and disgusting at the same time.

Congrats and welcome to fatherhood!

Routine is the key to a happy home when it comes to babies... After the first two weeks I have had ZERO issues sleeping through the night

Fantastic news - bongrats to you and mama!

Both of the above :)

Congratulations man.!! I remember the day I was born and man it was gross

Yeah, that was another problem I had. I thought they were going to cover up my wife's private area. They didn't do that at all. I was trying to avert my eyes from that area the entire time. My wife even said she didn't need to see everything. They asked her for a mirror she said, "hell no!"

I was too busy being in awe to even think about the grossocity of the whole situation.. Both kids were c-section. My son would not have survived a natural birth -his umbilical cord had a knot in it. We didnt want to risk tearing something with my daughter, so teh wife got cut with her too... I do remember with my daughter that the nurses were ready to take her to the nursery without giving my wife a chance to hold her brand-newborn. Them broads are rough with a new baby...

      Who Has to Be Off the Board to Trade Back?

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Carter, Graham, and Hunter for me. Other than that I'm listening to offers. Hell, I'm listening to offers anyway. I'm not doing the Gettleman thing of submitting the pick immediately. If the phones are ringing there's no cost to listening. Maybe someone has an offer so good that I can't refuse.

      These numbers do not measure a player's prime. Do these numbers include OL pulled up from the practice squad for a game or two then cut?  Do they include players who might have been injured or cut for reasons other than they were past their primes?  The average career for an NFL lineman is 3.63 years, and that is because there is a lot of turnover--regardless of a player's prime. In fact, if only 55% of Offensive linemen drafted in the first round succeed, then the failure rates of most offensive linemen drafted and undrafted would be much lower, cause them to skew the average age of the OL.  This suggests that most players' retirement from the NFL is not based on their prime, but other factors.  They are cut, released, injured--and that is based on their level of play compared to others, not their levels of play within their personal skill range--something that peaks during your prime. In this case, I was talking about Moton, an elite offensive tackle, one that avoided the factors that shorten careers unrelated to their primes. I identify Moton as the team's best offensive lineman on an impressive OL--that distinguishes the type of player being referenced, so I did not provide a lot of qualifiers--as you didn't with your stats.   In this article below, one that evaluates established Offensive tackles, it states the following, which supports my comment:  "Most elite offensive tackles start to decline at roughly the age of 32 if they haven’t already."  So to say that Moton was at the end of his prime was not a reach or careless speculation.  If a player has the skill to be competitive and they can avoid injuries, their career expectancy is much higher than an average of all offensive lineman on a fluid roster. https://www.milehighreport.com/2017/2/27/14724674/age-wall-for-offensive-tackles-nfl

      If there’s not much difference in moving back a couple spots, finding a good offer might be an issue.
