Wednesday, 6/16/2010 at 1934 hours, My wife and i had our first child. A boy, his name is Anthony Jacob (A.J.) and he was 6lbs 14oz and 19.25 inches.

Marrying my wife was the best decision of my life.

Everyone is doing well and recuperating in the hospital. After 11 hours of labor, there were some complications that resulted in my wife losing consciousness and needing mechanical devices to breath for her. The feeling of helplessness doesn't even begin to describe what i went through today. It took nearly 5 hours from the time of delivery to when she was able to hold our son. By far, this was the scariest experience of my life.

I'm very grateful to have her, and this beautiful baby boy.
 
Way cool dude :coo Congrats to all. So do you believe in love at first sight now? Yes I know you saw the sonogram pics of him. But to really see him in the flesh for the first time, that will be your happy thought for a long time. You know that your life has forever changed now, for the better, but it has changed. Again congrats to you the Mrs. and AJ. :)

Congratulations! As the man said “Don’t blink�. One minute you’re holding them in one hand, and the next, they’re on their own… Enjoy him.
 
Congratulations Jake. Glad to hear your wife is ok. AJ looks like he's just fine! They'll grow up fast. In a couple of months my oldest son will be going out with me for his first "legal" drink! It seems like only yesterday I was teaching him to ride his bike. :)
 
Congrats.

Having our loved ones out of our control is difficult. Glad things are ok.
 
Congrats Jake :pbj Glad to hear your wife is doing OK.




What's with AJ? That's NOT one of the options we gave you :ecit
 
Congratulations, Jake! Glad everyone is doing OK. My wife's delivery of our son got complicated too, but that's mostly because she was trying to deliver my offspring, which PRETTY MUCH guaranteed he was going to be gargantuan. He was. But it was scary, and I know how you felt...Makes it more emotional than it already was gonna be. Thankfully, the Emergency C-Section went quick and easy.

Gotta agree with Gary...PLEASE remember to enjoy the first few months, when they are totally dependent, totally self involved, totally indifferent to you, and totally without personality. It's hard and frustrating, and is often not much fun, but you have GOT to remind yourself to enjoy it. Because before you know it they're sprouting personalities, and starting to figure out who you are, and then learning to walk and talk and do for themselves...And don't get me wrong, that's amazingly fun, and wonderful, but you'll look at a picture of what they looked like when they were first born, or the first 5 or 6 months, when they were little more than an eating, peeing, pooping blob, and you'll realize that's gone forever, and that person who was such a big part of your life is completely gone. And now there's a new person, who will be a bigger part of your life...but you'll miss the other one too. My guy is 3 and a half. I felt like we brought him home yesterday. I worry about him moving out tomorrow. It goes so fast, you can forget to enjoy it, but you've GOT to, because it will really be some of the greatest times in your life...even when he's waking you up at 2:30 AM demanding food...Or worse, demanding something, but not able to tell you what it is, and you think it's food, but then he rejects that. And you're like "STOP CRYING AND JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT." Hard to remember to enjoy that. But, God, it was the best time of my life.
 
Congrats Jake

I can certainly identify with what you went through, of course in my case ad 4 heart surgeries, and 3 months in Intesnive care. This is the time of your life it just gets better.

Only one question, A J sure looks like a Browns fan :craz
 
Congrats Jake, and glad to hear Momma is doing well now.

Also - what Steve said. Mine's two yrs old - HTF did that happen??????
 
Thanks guys, we waited a while to have children (5 years) so we plan to enjoy every second of it. I hope that plan comes true. Thanks for all the kind words Steve. :10 Best part was, i held him for hours waiting for his mom, and he didn't cry a single time. So yes, Tim, i know exactly what your talking about.
 
Congrats to you and the Mrs!! Children are such amazing little gifts and the pleasures and rewards are worth it. Just remember that when you are living on 2-3hrs a sleep and he won't stop crying. :craz Oh and the first time he looks at you and does that first real smile because he see's you...its just the best feeling in the whole world!

Then they grow up and ignore you and spend their entire time up in the room listening to Jonas Brothers, reading about sparkling vampires, begging for itunes cards for more crappy teenage girl music, or when not locked in their fortress of teenagehood, beating the tar out of their little brother. Oh yes.. kids.. gotta love them! :lol
