The expectant father thread

[Popeye the Sailor]

It's even worse that she has to stop and go "awwwwwww" to every single child that passes through her periphery and nudge me and ask me how absolutely adorable that child is.... they all kind of look the same to me.

Oh and a good heads up: DO NOT watch birth videos on youtube. Ever!

Watch them in reverse. Woo-odd.

I was flipping through a magazine the wife got from her doctor. It has some incredible pics of the fetus to birth. There SHOULD have been a warning prior to flipping the page to that birthing pic!! I nearly puked!

 Aaaha!  Just wait till you see the purple, veiny placenta in the stainless steel lasagna pan......yummy.

I watched my wifes c section without flinching..

Yeah-do a normal birth and let her hold your hand. You'll flinch.

[cokey]

Lol never that..  I need my hand for work..

Well..... she is really enjoying the "I'm in my third trimester" thing these days. She plays it like the "pregnancy card".

Where do I draw the line? Or is it completely pointless to even try drawing lines?

You're just a donor buddy. Now rub her feet and cook some dinner and be quiet about it.

If you are busy holding her hand, who's going to hold the video camera?

I had the tripod set up with the speakers set up to really catch all of natures wonderfull sounds.

The only memory I want from this is walking in from the waiting room and seeing a healthy baby in my wife's arms after the whole thing is done!!   I don't need any visuals.  No pictures.  No video!!

Video is a bargaining chip when they're older.


"Clean your room or we'll make you watch the video of your birth!"


How could that not work?

Traumatizing!  Isn't that what the Melendez brother's parents used to do?
