OT dads, I got a question.

Oh and pregnant girl snoring when you're finally trying to sleep will break your soul.

It's the worst.

Holy shite, Stacked is about to be serious.

Looks like you deleted whatever the original post said by the time I had a chance to see it, so I'll just say this.
Enjoy the first year with your baby with everything you have. You'll think you're enjoying it, but try even harder. Every single thing. You won't realize how much fun it was to have the child you one day see becoming a grown kid when they were tiny and a precious little baby. That tiny precious baby stage is the most underrated time of a parents life. Often talked bad about. Soak that shite in for every second you are still able to consider them to be at that stage of their life.

Again, you won't really realize how great it was until it's too late, but that's what 2nd child's are for.

This is true. You'll have trouble, even when the baby is around 3, of remembering what it was like, and if you're like me, that'll upset you. It goes SUPER FAST!

Congrats to both you guys

Soak that shite up, guys. Even when you think what you're feeling is misery. It isn't, and you can't get it back after the seemingly 10 seconds you have them at that time in their lives.

Truly a once in a lifetime thing. For me, like most things, you truly don't realize it until you begin missing it.

if you can't sleep now just wait. our son is 14 weeks and is sleeping better but those first few weeks are rough.

absolutely worth it though.

I have 48 days of leave. My 3 month old is watching me grill sausage from her stroller on the deck as we speak..

Once all the scary unknown shite is over it's a blast

Yeah I actually think I'll be better once she gets here.

Now, it's just neurosis and not being able to turn my head off for a little bit.

you're mind is just preparing for fatherhood, once they get here you spend for the first few weeks worrying about them constantly. can't tell you how many times Id wake up and reach out to make sure he was breathing. still do it from time to time.

Y'all gonna eat the placenta? I found some recipes on Pinterest I can share.

You already know you'll probably be better at it than most of the people you associate with. Anxiety is normal. You'd be a shitbag if you weren't apprehensive and tense right now. It's positive stress.

i had literally no stress or apprehensiveness about having kids whatsoever.
