My daughter was born Saturday night at 7:25pm in Seattle. 6 pounds, 11 ounces and 19 inches long. Full head of brown hair with blond tips. Seriously.

We got home from the hospital about an hour ago. Let the sleep deprivation begin!

Congrats good sir. While children are not for me, it's always nice to see good, smart people procreating to offset the people who shop at ye olde Wal-Mart by however much you can.

Wow. We got sleep last night! She was up every 2-3 hours to eat, but it wasn't bad.

My wife did 100% natural childbirth. No drugs whatsoever. She's one tough woman. Our POS nurse kept pushing pitocin and an epidural on her, but Em, myself and our doula politely told her to fuck off.

Mupepe · « **Reply #34 on:** February 13, 2012, 01:17:35 PM »

Natural??

Mrs. Gundam

Told you the night thing isn't bad. And it doesn't take long for them to sleep through the whole night. That whole thing is way overblown.

Steve Youngblood · « **Reply #35 on:** February 13, 2012, 01:18:15 PM »

Getting our son to sleep through the night was always hit or miss. There'd be those nights where I'd think everyone else was a whiner because he would do what you've described, but then there'd be those nights where all you craved was some sleep, and after hours of cycling through various things trying to get him content and ready for sleep, you'd see him close his eyes, tip toe back to bad, and then five minutes later he was up again seemingly recharged.

My daughter was always so easy to make fall asleep. If she struggled at all then all I had to do was put cup my hands a few inches over her eyes (enough to block out most light) and in about 30-60 seconds she was out.

Three months ago I would have wanted to punch you in the face for posting crap like this. But at some point during his fourth month, it all started to come together. He can still be a little fussy going to bed, but once he's out now (anywhere from 10 - 12), he's out for the night (well, he needs 2 to 3 feedings a night still, but he goes right back to sleep when fed).

Congrats on having a healthy kid

I was unfortunate enough to be in the hospital friday morning at 4am when someone was giving birth in the room next to me. Sounded like the most horrific/traumatizing thing to go through so mad ups to your misses' for doing it without any drugs.

Sadly it traumatized my misses so I don't think kids are on the plate for the time being :'(

My daughter had a fine little peach fuzz all over her body for the first month or so. It was hilarious. I used to make jokes about shaving her.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #46 on:** February 13, 2012, 03:43:29 PM »

I've got thick black hair, Em has fine blond hair. She's got my thick dark hair, but Em's blond wormed it's way in there a bit. It's awesome.

God damn! I've been seriously contemplating natural childbirth, and then I remembered that sometimes, your taint rips or the doctor cuts it before it rips. And then I almost threw up. I have a pretty high tolerance for pain, as I've had daily widespread, chronic pain for the last 20+ years and rarely let it affect my day-to-day tasks, but that's quite a step beyond what I'm used to, taints rippin and all that.

I've been threatening to poop on the table though. "Whew, I'm so glad I didn't poop on your bed or anything, doc!" and just wait for the awkward looks of, "Should we break it to her or let her go on believing?"

Himu · « **Reply #52 on:** February 13, 2012, 07:21:31 PM »

I'd say go for it, Len. I haven't been afforded the opportunity to poop a bed/table since I was a kid. If I were allowed that opportunity I'd go for it.

lennedsay · « **Reply #53 on:** February 13, 2012, 07:24:36 PM »

Can you imagine how much pain yet how much pleasure one would have from simultaneously squeezing out a child and taking the most massive shit ever?

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #55 on:** February 13, 2012, 07:29:46 PM »

Em said it was the most painful thing she's ever experienced. She has abnormal migraines, and she said they're not even close.

With that said, she's glad she did it.

Sleep-deprived daddy who hadn't showered in 36 hours at this point (and some crazy ass bed hair). Em's water broke at 4am Saturday morning so I got out of bed, threw some clothes on and went straight to the hospital.

lennedsay · « **Reply #56 on:** February 13, 2012, 07:30:24 PM »

I'm going to start preparing myself for natural childbirth by pretending I'm pushing out a child every time I take a shit. Straight up ujjayi breaths going on in my bathroom.

Edit:

She's so pretty!
