Got to the hospital around 4pm on Monday thinking my first child would be born shortly after arriving. 7:42pm on Wednesday, my son Will Hudson was born at 8 pounds, 8 ounces and 20 inches. The most beautiful and grossest thing I've ever seen in my life, at the same time. :D Check out my boy!!

Congrats NGT. That's great news! Prepare for a period of elation, exhaustion and frustration, sometimes experienced concurrently, sometimes not. Now, on to some of your favorite foods instead of cold pizza.:D

Re: Catch Of The Day!!!

I'm 33 and already wondering where life went. May sound dumb, but stuff goes by so fast. Folks are getting old, grandparents are almost all gone, and now I have a kid, a home, and have been teaching for 8 years.

Right now though, I'm wondering where all my sleep has gone and it's only been 3-4 days. You guys laughing and saying "get ready for sleepless nights" weren't kidding. He's slept a lot in the daytime, but damn, in the two nights we've been home, I've been awakened after 2 hours (MAX)at midnight and not back to sleep for another 2 (MAX) until 6:30-7am. God Bless My Wife!!!! They're both sleeping now, and I'm about to do the same.

Man, I can't wait for a somewhat steady sleep routine. Any tips on getting started on training him for that early? We don't have any help and are mostly getting parenting tips from people I talked to at the store in casual conversations and youtube, lol.

Constant movement like a car ride or basinette rocker. Definately not sleeping with, It's a hard habit to break.

For newborns, give it a couple weeks or so for things to even out. If you haven't gotten a routine going by then, start looking at adjustments.
