More Background

In one of my posts I left off where I was in the delivery room watching my son being born. The baby is born. The nurses are doing their thing. One nurse takes my little boy and puts him on a scale. He is so tiny (the men in my family come out small and grow to be very big). After the that and doing all the other necessary things that need to be done, they wrap my son up and give him to Jen who is exhausted. It was great. He was so tiny and so cute. I didn't the he looked anything like me except for the noise, lol lol lol lol. Didn't really care, it was my son. I WAS A DAD NOW. The nurse takes our son away to go into the new born nursery, Jen and I now are so tired and need sleep. Jen had awesome insurance, and picked the best hospital. They gave me a cot to sleep on. It was so flimsy I had to put the mattress on the floor. That only made it a bit better. They feed me too. All the nurses were so nice. We asked thousands of questions. And during the three days we were there I attended about 3 classes for new parents. I learned so much in those 3 classes. Jen was given Kenneth for his first feeding. I was so awesome. we had to feed him like every 3 hours. What I do remember is his first poop. It was absolutely the worst. it was this black sticky goop called meconium.  So I cleaned him. But ya know, I really didn't mind the sticky stuff. It was my son I was caring for. I'M A FATHER. I'M A DAD.
