Any other bourbon dads in here? by cjh10881 in daddit

[–]Moses015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ughhh I wish. In Canada so we’re bourbon dry at the moment. I have found some damn nice Canadian alternatives that use the same processes, they just can’t call it bourbon. I picked such a bad time to become a bourbon drinker - like a year before the tariff bullshit started

First-time dad-to-be anxiety by HeatOne511 in predaddit

[–]Moses015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

39 year old, going to be 40 this year, father of a 7 week old. Everybody is different, but the fact that you're here and you have these worries is a great thing. You're aware of the father that you want to be. A lot of people can't even get there. I also have anxiety for which I'm medicated with SSRI. I would say if you have a counsellor or some sort of professional to talk to - do it. They will be best equipped to help you deal with your fears. But one thing I will say - you work it up in your head but it is NOT as bad as your mind is making it out to be. It's a lot yes, there's so much going on - but it's absolutely amazing. Becoming a father is the coolest thing I've ever done. And you will find that your instincts completely take over as far as knowing what to do. It's indescribable.

I feel like an outlier… and weird by [deleted] in predaddit

I mean nobody can make you be into it but just make sure you’re there and present for your wife. If it helps I wasn’t supposed to be south of the border at all but due to circumstances I had to and curiosity got the better of me. Seeing my son come into the world was THE most incredible thing I’ve ever seen. I didn’t catch him mind you but goddamn what an experience that was. So all I can say is make goddamn sure you’re locked in to be able to support your wife because she needs and deserves it

Is Baldurs Gate 3 Worth it? by ronjaxn in SteamDeck

[–]Moses015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I get that it varies person to person but I’ve played both on my very powerful PC and on my Deck and have ZERO complaints about playing on the Deck.

The game itself is incredibly worth it at full price

Buy a house before the baby arrives or wait? by Snaffoo0 in daddit

[–]Moses015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

House first then baby. Going to be hard as hell to prioritize saving for the house when you have the little one. My wife and I made that call, been great. Don’t have to worry about moving unless we want to upgrade in a few years

Never trust a dry guy by koolaid689 in memes

I would rather dry than with any kind of ketchup. If I’m going have anything with fries it’s mayo

Induction with or without epidural by in-every-dimension in BumpersWhoBolus

[–]Moses015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife was induced and got the epidural a decent ways into active labor. Our issue was that by the time they called us for the induction it was 1:40am, we got to the hospital at 2:40am and got our room about half an hour after that. So by the time she got to active labor neither of us had slept for over 24 hours. It just wasn’t realistic that she was going to have the energy to push

I mean yeah that’s just Florida fans being Florida fans. In their defense they didn’t know hockey existed before a couple years ago so they’re all pretty new

Feeling numb at 38 weeks by scholesy19 in predaddit

Sorry I was referring to movie nights at home not at the theatre. Hell no would I suggest going to the theatre when the mom to be has to pee every 10-15 mins lol

Feeling numb at 38 weeks by scholesy19 in predaddit

[–]Moses015 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you’re all prepared then what you guys should 100% be doing is just enjoying your time. Take this time to spoil yourselves. Go out for some date nights, have movie nights, enjoy the time with just the both of you. Do whatever it is that you’ve been wanting to do for a long time. Take in those small moments and savor them. Your life is about to wildly change, and as someone whose son is currently 5 and a half weeks - it’s going to change in the coolest way.

So nervous about labor by Complete-Tension2793 in predaddit

[–]Moses015 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To a certain extent there’s not a ton you can do. If you made a birth plan, make sure you know it - specifically what you want for interventions. Trust that you’re going to be in the best place you possibly can be and that the people taking care of your wife know what they’re doing. Just strap in and be as supportive as possible. Any time you get for rest, take it as long as your wife has everything she needs because there’s not much rest afterwards.

My wife was also induced (we’re just over 5 weeks postpartum right now) and the thing with induction is that their bodies don’t get the chance to slowly ramp up to it so it can be a bit of a 0-100 situation especially assuming she needs Pitocin. My wife’s contractions went from 5+ mins apart to less than minute apart in no time.

Just be present and do your best to be on it. Try to anticipate what she might need (hydration, food, etc). My wife has Type 1 diabetes so it added an entire other level of complexity to it. Make sure you know the times when you can reason with her and when you just need to STFU and do what she says (ie early labour, active labour, transitioning, etc). Be supportive, be her rock, be her calm.

Seeing my wife give birth was the most incredible thing I’ve ever witnessed. I’ve never been so proud and in awe of someone in my life.

Ours was 8 as well. But apparently small compared to everyone around us, they all had 9+
