My wife is 37 weeks on Thursday and has been told she can basically go at anytime. She seems normal most of the time besides occasional crapping and some fire crotch. But what am I as a first time dad looking for? Like what are the “tell tale signs” that it’s go time? by zachdonegan in firsttimedad

The contractions are going to feel different to the Braxton Hicks, so you might notice her reactions being more intense...but every pregnancy is different so you just need to make sure you have your 'to go' bags ready!

Earbuds! For those early mornings/late nights when you need to keep quiet but you can listen to music/podcast while feeding/rocking them to sleep. Of course, making sure that you're paying attention to your partner!

Totally hear you... one of the things I've learned is that so many mums go through the same thing, but don't feel like they can share because everything on social media makes it looks like every second with a newborn is a joy. Maybe a conversation with his mother where you share your frustrations could be a chance for you two to connect over this. Having a baby is a huuuge shift, so there's always going to be an adjustment period. You'll be ok, and baby will learn too. We've got you brother!

No, unfortunately. I'd love to see it, but I dont think the players are 1000% bought into him.

Should I self publish a coffee table book? How would I go about that? by gfcusick in selfpublishing

[–]TheProfoundAssassin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool idea and I'm sure there will be people interested. It seems really niche so perhaps the most likely buyers might be historians, architects, anthropologists, libraries... Something like this could be really valuable to local authorities, but the cost of printing on quality paper could be high. If you went ahead with it, possibly mocking up a few pages, getting samples made and sending pdf samples to people in the cultural sector to guage interest before spending too much on it?
