I always love to hear about Dad’s changing “poopy” diapers. Yes, it’s a little easier when they’re smiling at you :-)

Fair enough, I’ll continue the story here…

My wife was getting prepped for delivery, and the doctors were concerned that Charlie’s lungs would be underdeveloped. So, they gave my wife a massive shot of steroids to her backside. The Bad News: Charlie was born before the steroids could take effect. The Good News: My wife jacked 50 homeruns this year.

She was rushed to the ER for a C-Section shortly thereafter. Charlie was born without complications, and my wife was left with a giant scar across her abdomen. To this day, she tells people she got the scar as part of a gang initiation. It makes for a better story.

Sorry for the late comment – but I think 1 major point is being neglected here….

I thought the post was supposed to be about Charlie’s birth, yet the story ends when you get to the hospital.

If Charlie weren’t screaming his head off right now I’d write a really long comment elaborating on all Matt’s crappy antics while I was in labor. Lucky for Matt I should get back to the baby. One quick thing he forgot to mention though was how he actually got back into bed after I woke him up. He told me to go find him a watch because he felt like we should time the contractions. So I’m doubled over in pain and he sends me to find a watch. I seriously should have just driven myself to the hospital, maybe if he missed the birth he’d actually feel bad about all the pain he caused me.

After spending the weekend with little Charlie I am super excited about his ability to smile. After he puked on my shoulder I could of dropped a f bomb and tossed him in the lake. As I was pulling back for the throw he busted that award winning smile and I was calmed down and ready to swim in his puke if he wanted. This could be a dangerous weapon.

Loved the opening line enough to keep reading.

Just wondering if you got any compliments on your outfit at the hospital? Seriously, who were you trying to impress? Any hot girl babies comment on your “beefcake?” Were you thinking your wife would get all hot and bothered and want you to impregnate her again right then and there?

It is slightly surprising that you didn’t have your man-bag all packed and ready to go. I keep all my gadgets in a convenient laptop backpack so it’s ready at a moment’s notice. True, I’m not rushing to the hospital to document the birth of my firstborn, but it comes in handy when I need to snap a quick digital pic of a high score at a pinball table or of a random celebrity who walks by. I know it was early, but I’m beginning to see through your “all business” facade. Admit it, you are just “occasionally business.”

But I have to admit, if I were in labor with your baby I would have either sent you home for the candle routine or birthed you kid on the spot. That would make a great scene in a movie or skit on SNL. In real life it is questionable behavior, however. Way to blur reality!

Congrats on the birth, man! I think I’m way late to the game, but I hope all is going well!

I’ll be living the kind of world you’re living in, in about 5 months.
