I’m waiting for my wife to give birth! We’re going to have a little girl this weekend and I’m so excited. It’s our first, so there’s lots of nervousness about it.

Congratulations! Do you have a name ready or are you going to wait and see what fits once she’s here?

Yeah, so we just finished up and are relaxing in the postpartum room. My god, it was a messy process there at the end.

But I got the little redhead girl I wanted, so my wife and I are very happy.

Here’s to firsts 🍾

That’s wicked. I’m so happy that you’re that! You guys have a new family member and are doing well. It’s a really weird experience becoming a dad. You know your wife is going to have a baby. You’re somewhat prepared for this life-changing experience, then someone hands you a baby.

One of the things that most people don’t tell you is that as a dad, you’ve had no time to bond with your kid. Your wife is had 9 months however feeling every little flutter every little kick. Don’t worry about not connecting with your kid right away. It’ll happen.

I don’t know why the one on the bottom makes me laugh. Looks like he’s got a wicked hang over and you’re talking too loudly lmao

A friend who I’ve only known through the Internet is flying up to a neighboring city. So, my husband and I are driving down to meet him in person for the first time.

It’s crazy that I’ve interacted with him for close to a decade without ever meeting him physically. Wish me luck!

I’m camping on the side of a lake at a state park with some family friends, which is very fun.

Visiting my 6w/o nephew at the hospital. He was born early with a heart failure and immediately taken to a special cardiological clinic and I hadn’t had time to visit him and his parents yet. I’m quite excited to meet the little guy.

Thank you. He’s doing fine, just waiting for corrective surgery now. That will fix the defect permanently (TGA, in case anyone is interested)
