Yay! Congratulations Anticor!

Refer to my graphic posts in the baby thread from a few months back for details on what she'll go through.

Oh and also, prepare for lots of swelling, tearful breakdowns over commercials, cravings that you're forced to satisfy in the middle of the night, buying tons of new clothes for both her and your new baby and lots and lots of joy when he's born. :)

Congrats!

Now for the advice:

Get all the shit you want to get done before the kid comes. Because after the kid comes it'll be that much more difficult.

You're going to spend a shitload on baby clothes, carseats, furniture, etc. Save up now.

Don't neglect your weiner. Hopefully your wife won't either.

Figured this was a good bit of advice to help you prepare:


Preparation for parenthood is not just a matter of reading Sheila Kitzinger and decorating the nursery. Here are eleven simple tests for expectant parents to take to prepare themselves for the real life experience of being a mother or father

1. Women: Put on a dressing gown and stick a bean bag down the front. Leave it there for nine months. After nine months take out 10% of the beans. Men: go to the chemist, tip the contents of your wallet on the counter and invite the pharmacist to help himself, then go to the supermarket and arrange to have your salary paid directly to their head office. Go home pick up the paper and read it for the last time.

2. Before you go ahead and have children find a couple who are already parents and berate them about their methods of discipline, lack of patience, appallingly low tolerance levels and how they have allowed their children to run riot. Suggest ways in which they might improve their child's sleeping habits, toilet training, table manners, and overall behaviour. Enjoy it - it will be the last time you have all the answers.

3. To discover how the nights will feel walk around the living room from 5pm to 10pm carrying a wet bag weighing about 8 - l0 lbs. At 10pm put the bag down, set the alarm clock for midnight and go to sleep. Get up at 12pm and walk around with the bag again until 1am. Set the alarm for 3am. As you can't get back to sleep get up at 2am and make a drink. Go to bed at 2 45am. Get up again at 3am when the alarm goes off. Sing songs in the dark until 4am. Set the alarm for 5am. Get up at 5am and make the breakfast. Keep this up for 5 years. Look cheerful.

4. Can you stand the mess children make? To find out smear marmite on the sofa and jam on the curtains. Hide a fish finger behind the stereo and leave it there throughout the Summer. Stick your fingers in the flower bed - then wipe them clean on the wall paper. Cover the stairs with crayons. How does that look?

5. Dressing small children is not as easy as it seems. First buy an octopus and a string bag. Attempt to put the octopus in the bag, so that none of its arms stick out. Time allowed for this - all morning.

6. Take an egg carton, Using a pair of scissors and a pot of paint turn it into an alligator. Now take a toilet roll tube. Using only Copydex and a piece of foil make a Christmas cracker. Last take a milk container, ping-pong ball and an empty packet of Cocoa Pops then make an exact replica of the Eiffel Tower. Congratulations you have just qualified for a place on the Playgroup Committee.

7. Forget the Peugeot 205 and buy a Sierra. And don't think you can leave it on the driveway spotless and shining, family cars don't look like that. Take a choc-ice and put it in the glove compartment and leave it there. Get a 20p piece, stick it in the cassette player. Take a family sized pack of chocolate biscuits, mash them down the back seat. Take a garden rake - run it along both sides of the car. There - perfect.

8. Get ready to go out. Wait outside the loo for half an hour. Go out the front door. Come back in again, go out, come back in again, go out again. Walk down the front path. Walk back up it. Walk down it again. Walk very slowly down the road for five minutes. Stop to inspect every cigarette end, piece of chewing gum, dirty tissue and dead insect on the way. Retrace your steps. Scream that you have had just about as much as you can stand until the neighbours come out to stare at you. Give up and go back home again. Do it all over again. You are now just about ready to take a small child for a walk.

9. Go to your local supermarket. Take with you the nearest thing you can find to a pre-school child - a fully grown goat is ideal. If you intend to have more than one child then take more than one goat. Buy your groceries without letting the goats out of' your sight. Pay for everything the goats eat or destroy. Until you can easily accomplish this, do not even consider having children.

10. Hollow out a melon, make a small hole in the side, suspend it from the ceiling and swing it from side to side. Now take a bowl of soggy Weetabix and try to spoon it into the swaying melon whilst pretending to be an aeroplane. Continue until half the Weetabix has gone, tip the rest in your lap making sure that a lot of it ends up on the floor. You are now ready to feed a 12 month old baby.

11. Learn the names of every character from the Care Bears, Postman Pat, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. When you find yourself singing "I wanna be a Care Bear" at work, you finally qualify as a parent.

Congrats and for those who have no idea what some of those things in Nien's post are:

marmite - soup cooked in a large pot
soup - liquid food especially of meat or fish or vegetable stock often containing pieces of solid food

Copydex - Safe, stong, multipurpose, water based latex adhesive. Ideal for paper, board, fabric, carpet, leather and upholstery. 125mm Bottle

choc-ice - colloquial British abbreviation for chocolate ice cream.


Weetabix - American tourists visiting the United Kingdom are often baffled by the sight of what appear to be thick crackers (and are referred to as biscuits), and many believe they can simply be eaten "as is". This is a misapprehension — Weetabix are typically served with milk in a bowl, as with any other breakfast cereal, and often with fruit (bananas, etc). They are very light and absorbent and when soaked in milk can take on the texture of a light porridge. However they retain a certain crunchiness for a while. They can also be buttered in pieces like miniature slices of toast. (Even most British people are unaware of this delicacy.)

While that is indeed a correct definition of marmite, the marmite in that guide is referred to further down the page at http://www.answers.com/topic/marmite

Its a disgusting sandwich spread thats catchphrase is "you either love it or hate it".

And its true.

Latrinsorm
01-24-2006, 04:38 PM
WTG Anticor!!

Although I imagine this is what you'd do anyway, I must suggest it: At the first sign of your wife experiencing discomfort, gently take her hand in yours, explain to her that "Pain retains", and go out for a beer with the guys. She'll know what to do.

More Advice:

Convince your wife to let them take the kid to the nursery in the hospital. You will need the sleep. Stock up.

The kid will likely sleep alot in the first few months. Enjoy this.

People will give you a shitload of advice, including parents. Use common sense and take everything they say with a grain of salt.

Is your wife going to be a stay at home mom now? Or is she going back to her teaching job.

One thing I'd recommend if she's heading back to work. Stock up on your sick leave and conserve your vacation time. These kids get sick at the drop of a hat, especially if they're in day care.

Mine just got over a funk he had two weeks ago and last night on a walk around our neighborhood he puked all over his stroller. Wife's at home loading him up on Pedialite as I type. Craziness.

AnticorRifling

Congrats man. My son is a handful all by himself, I cant imagine 2 of them.

By having boys you've done your manly duty to carry on your family name, and the great thing about (most) boys is that you only have to worry about 1 penis (unless you're Tayre); however, with girls you have to worry about every penis.

I think we're going with Caleb and Corbin. That's as of right now, it could always change.

My mom was like Corbin like from that fifth element movie? I was like hell yes!

As an Alex, let me be the first to say DO NOT name your son Alexander. <3 Alex, h8 Alexander.

My son's name is Sean Alexander. We call him Alex... He calls himself Ax... and consequently all of his little friends call him Ax. While I think its a powerful abbreviation of his full name (for a guy), I dont know if it will have Dahmer type reprocussions later on in life... :help:

Update! I am a father!!

Caleb - 3lbs 8oz 15.5inches
Corbin - 2lbs 14oz 15.75inches

Born at 10:37 and 10:38 respectivly. Born at 31 wks, had to go early because of some complications but all and all things are great! They are both breathing on their own and doing better than the doctor hoped. They look awesome, wife is recovering and should be a-ok.

Internet at the hospital sucks ass, what kind of the state of the art facility doesn't have wireless so I can use my own friggin laptop?!

Thanks, pics will be here eventually I'm sure. They are tiny but figure that's 7lbs 6oz of baby at 31 weeks. Imagine if they went to term! Had it not been for the liver problems she would have been induced mid Sept. All and all not bad.

Yeah names are good. Corbin was my pick, Caleb was the wife's call.

Welcome to the world, Corbin and Caleb, and congratulations to both you and your wife, Wayne. They're tiny, but if they're breathing on their own that's most of the battle won. They'll grow! :)

Take it from a mom who had a prematurely born child that spent 3 months in the hospital NICU on a ventilator - babies are amazingly resilient and will surprise you completely every day on how well they do. The fact that your little ones are breathing without assistance is a big deal, sweetie. Congratulations!

I can't wait to see pictures. :)

No, but you can take comfort in the fact that once my kid is asleep, I don't have to worry about the other kid waking him up.

Old bump. Here's some pictures from the pumpkin patch (mid Oct 07). I really need to get some newer pictures on my comp at work.

Caleb and Corbin are getting big and doing great. Right now they are running around trying to destroy everything in my house. They are 19 months old, holy crap I'm getting old!

Here's what you get to look forward to in a few years. My son at age 5 wearing his T-Ball uniform for the first time the night before opening ceremonies (uniform still a little big - looks like a throwback with the huge socks and pants tucked in).

LOL the wife picked out Caleb. I went with Corbin, she agreed. Then later, ie after they were born, she wanted to know where I came up with the name Corbin.... I laughed and went and got my 5th Element DVD, Corbin is going to be a bad ass.

Kids are doing great. We've been extremely lucky, everyone that babysits always says they hate us because of how easy we have it. They don't fuss, they eat anything and everything, they have slept through the night since 3mo old, etc. Plus they keep each other entertained. I have the most fun just sitting back and watching them. It's great to see them discover how stuff works.
