I just want to announce that on March 31st @ 0226 hrs my wife gave birth to a perfect little princess (3460 metric gram and 54 centimeters)
The feeling...I couldn't possibly describe it
Do not be quick to reveal judgment. Hidden judgment is often more potent. It can guide reaction whose effects are felt only when too late to divert them. - Bene Gesserit Advice to Postulants
yea - could anyone not? I was at my wifes side all the time, and could see when the little head came out. I'm dead proud of her, well both of them, but my wife really was a fighter, she hadn't slept for 2 days and lay in labors for 14 hrs yet she didn't scream but once (when the head came out) -other than that she just did a great job!

I was next to my wife when both my kids were born, but I was down at the business end of things when my son came out. "Disgustingly transformational" is how I think it's best described.
I don't think the author should make the reader do that much work - Kevin J. Anderson We think we've updated 'Dune' for a modern readership without dumbing it down.- Brian Herbert There’s an unwritten compact between you and the reader. If someone enters a bookstore and sets down hard earned money(energy) for your book, you owe that person some entertainment and as much more as you can give. - Frank Herbert
Congratulations. And my best to your wife. Enjoy the short time your princess will be little, before you know it you'll have be chasing the young gents away from your door.
What fear is there in the night?
Nothing, but that which is in our own imaginations.
@Omphalos I wasn't looking up into the birthing machine, but I could see a great deal of what happening, and to be honest I'll describe it as beautiful..with lots and lots of gore on the top
@Serkanner - her name (almost certain now) will be Johanne (pronounced Yohanne). After my wifes grandmother. both my wife and I like "old" names.
@Eyes
ohh yea - I'm oiling the double barrelled and when the lil' gents comes I'll be setting and waiting in a rocking chair with the gun in my lap and dog at my feet
As for epidural - that was actually the only time I left the room. Needles makes me go out - and the good doctor told me to go for a walk, they didn't want to spend time bringing me back to life again. But I still have stomach aches from all the "pushing" I did

And a great deal of poo, too.
hey, you can't push for that long end expect any bodily orifice to remain closed and locked for the duration. I think even her eyelids were dialated to 10cm.

Don't forget the beer.
Paul of Dune was so bad it gave me a seizure that dislocated both of my shoulders and prolapsed my anus. ~Pink Snowman

I was warned about that in a class we took before the first child but it really doesn't prepare you for the reality of it.
