The waiting game

[JakeJ]

The new baby should be here any day now, and I know we are all eager to get this waiting period over. My wife has been quite sick throughout and spent the last few months on bed rest.

I can completely sympathize. The last few weeks seemed like they were never going to end during my wife's first pregnancy. It's particularly terrible when she is sick. Fortunately, in my case, our second baby came sooner than expected and it didn't involve as many complications as the first.

Thanks Whoowap. The great news is I am finally a new dad again! Our baby son was born safely yesterday and mother and child are doing well.

That's awesome! The waiting game is over. Congratulations! So, this isn't your first? How are your feelings now, by comparison to the last time you became a dad?

Thanks FatherYoung. This is my fourth, and my second son, but it feels just as magical as every other time. I am more confident in my abilities from a practical point of view of course.
