I'm watching all these women go into the L&D, have their kids and then delivered to the parents a short while later. Meanwhile, the wife and I are in a daze. We don't know what to expect everytime we go see our son. We can look nut we can't hold him. We can help change him and take his temp and clean his lips. We're here doing the most we can for him but we just want to hold our son. Maybe I'm just tired.

[Stella]

Hang in there IZ's.

No you are exhausted.....worry/stress leads to exhaustion....exhaustion can lead to skewed perspective.....which can lead to despair which is little more than self-pity with make-up and lipstick on....

the best thing you can do is get some sleep, get something to eat when you wake up...real food...not hospital vending machine crap

if you need reassurance...believe me then your wife needs 5 times that much....

she needs to see confidence and optimism in your eyes...you need enough rest to restore your perspective and give her that

not that it offsets your personal realtime I will share this:

my twins were premies....my ex was in early labor from month 5 on...she wasn't sized for them....we did everything short of stringing her up by her ankles and corking her to keep the kids in....they c-sectioned them out at almost 8 months and they went right into the incubator with underdeveloped lungs for 2 weeks

my son's head looked "bent" from the womb crowding....he is 6'6" and his head filled out (thank God) my daughter is now a mother herself

welcome to parenthood....IZ this is the shit that makes us grow old...and puts character on our faces

you all will do fine

[Mother]

I don't have the slightest clue what you are going through

But

I know sleep deprivation and I know stress

Listen to Rat and listen hard

Eat, sleep, shit, shower, and shave

The closest thing you can achieve that resembles normalcy will enlighten your POV and you can continue being the pillar your family needs

[RAT900]

Jacob....no one needs Pillar at a time like this

Jacob....no one needs Pillar at a time like this   

Hang in there bud.

I'll be down in two weeks and can help you out with whatever you need.

[The Architect]

Congratulations Iz family!


Everything will work out fine.  My brother and his wife were in the same boat almost two years ago.  Now their boy is going to be two this August.  If my brother can do it, anybody can do it!

[IZ]

Thanks. Need that. Got a good nights sleep. I kept my massage appt for this morning. Should be relaxed today. Buying a cot for this room today. Who knows how long we'll be here?  Wife is D/C'ed tomorrow from this wing and then we can stay upstairs and closer to Maro.
