Our son Carter was born late last thursday night.
Labor took forever but mom did good. He's a healthy 9lb 1oz little boy. The feeling is un-describable. |

It's hard to describe the feeling. I can just sit and watch him sleep and it's one of the best things in the world.
Yes we are both tired. Mom probably more than me. Until I get the swing of things I won't be posting as much, but then again, I've posted quite a bit to this point (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Thanks for all the well wishes. |

Congratulations to both of you. From the title I see your last name is Bright. Do you have any family in the Mid-Ohio area?

Trust me I already know.
But it's no biggie. I guess the happiness I have overshadows any of the sleeplessness, and other stuff. Cause so far it aint' that bad. I'm sure I'll find out soon enough. |

I totally didn't mind cleaning the house, going food shopping, cooking, washing the dishes, and doing laundry for the first month. Now my folks are here helping out, I don't have to do as much (Until they leave,of course...). And I found a new hobby from all this house work: cooking! I bought a cook book, went at it, and been enjoying cooking ever since! And the baby just gets more adorable everyday...I can't stand it. |

Just saw this thread Lonnie. Congrats. My son's a few days over 18 months old now and he's just a bundle of fun.
We went to a company picnic on Saturday and he ran right past the big inflatable play areas and to a generator behind them, powering the blowers. He pointed at it and said, "Whassat?" I told him, that's just like your future go-kart engine. He walked all around it and studied it. He didn't mind the noise one bit. I'm sure I haven't influenced what he likes at all. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) BTW Lonnie, diaper changes will get a lot better. That newborn stuff if they're on formula is seriously messed up.

Is the new born still stock ? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Or is he running in ESP due to !sleep-mod and diaper-mod ? |

Actually because mom does so much, that I CAN'T do, it makes me feel good to do the stuff I never used to. Makes me feel as though I AM helping out. Even working by myself is not bad. We normally work for the same company (didn't meet there (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ). We are both pretty equal with me making just a few thousand per year more than her. But with her not working, it makes me feel more like I'm providing for my family. Some of the women on the board may think that sounds neanderthal like... BUT like most households in america we have grown accustomed to a dual income. Luckily our company started a bonus program and a 4% cost of living increas the SAME month Carter was born. So it'll be tough for awhile but ALL worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Thanks Mike (and everyone!!)
Meranda is breast feeding so I'm not sure how that compares, but it is kinda funky. And it's as if he is TRYING to pee on us! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) (and has me once, mom a few times) |
