Eco 1,054 Posted December 19, 2017 Yes...that is right. I apologize for my delayed absence, but things have been crazy here lately. My wife, after 40 hours of labor, gave birth to our wonderful daughter, Emerson. It wasn't an easy delivery and the recovery has been tough, add to that a lot of things going on, has lead me to focus more on that side of my life and less on my online presence. So, with that being said, apologies to all, and I look forward to attempting to getting back in the swing of things. 1 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wife was touch and go for awhile during the pregnancy, and even after 1-1/2 months, is still recovering, but all is much better now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harry 589 Posted December 19, 2017 Welcome buddy. Glad to hear about your lovely daughter. You'll find it only gets better from here. Just make sure you keep sight of your wife as the beautiful woman you fell in love with. She'll still want to feel like that woman occasionally when at times in motherhood she'll see herself as little more than a milk machine that exists solely to satisfy her baby's needs.

Eco 1,054 Posted December 19, 2017 3 hours ago, Batard said: As an expectant father to an existing one, Is the baby crying what makes it tough, fella? Not at all really. When an infant cries, there is an obvious reason (hunger, dirty diaper, cold, and uncomfortable). Run down that list and you'll get the child to stop crying. Emerson (my daughter) never cries because she's depressed, someone hurt her feelings, or some other adult issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
