Last night at 6:13 me and my wife had our first child. A 6lb 8oz boy. Was an interesting day. I was at work, co worker paged me that my wife called. I pretty much knew what was up. I was pretty cool about everything during the pregnancy but I don't think it really hit me until I spoke to her and she said her water broke.
On the ride home I was holding it together but I was fidgeting with a plastic cup the entire time and my chest started hurting lol. My wife was a trooper through everything. I always knew she was a strong woman but I gained a new sense of respect for her after yesterday.
I wanted her to go natural because I was scared of her getting cut for the c section but we ended up opting for it. Turned out to be a good idea as the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck. Now this is where things really hit me. When they brought him out and he let you that first cry that very moment this feeling came over me that changed my life forever. I almost completely broke down. I was so happy but my emotions we're running wild. Never felt that way before. Hearing him cry that first time was the happiest moment of my life knowing he was here and well.
Yesterday was the greatest day of my life. I finally understand the feeling and love of being a parent. Holiding him an looking into his eyes knowing this is my boy, and I'm gonna make sure nothing happens to him, and raise him to be a man I could only dream of being. Just had to share this, I'm so happy right now.
