Are you sitting down?.......!!!--I HAVE SPAWNED--!!!!

[underpants]

That's right we just got the official word yesterday.

"WE" ARE PREGNANT!!!!!!!!

Before yesterday my wife was just a little pregnant.

We did two home pregnancy test last Sunday and both came up II two striped. She did another on Wednesday before she went to see the Doctor. The Doctor told her in the office that day that if three of them came up positive she was surely pregnant but agreed that we should get an official test done. He called my wife yesterday to tell that it was indeed positive. We get the papers on it this week in the mail.

We were going to surprise our folks with baby oriented Christmas gifts and see if they caught on but last night over dinner we decided to go ahead and call them and tell them. We then called both of our brothers and all my "boys"-really old friends.

"WE" ARE PREGNANT!!!!!!!!


Now it is still very early-6 weeks-but we are (of course) doing everything we need to.

The President in 2068?

<Cross fingers>

[Renew Deal]

7. Congratulations!!! Name him Harry! (if it's a boy)

:party:

[underpants]

37. That's funny a friend of mine named his son "Henry"

The nurses at the hospital loved the name because it was almost odd for a normal name to be used and not all the Jordan Taylor and Tylers they see everyday.

Yeah it's real unique when everyone is naming their kid that too...now go watch Friends some more you dweebs (directed at the 'burban rabble).

Congratulations, and start bankrolling as much extra sleep as you possibly can. The first couple of months almost killed me with both of mine. And remember, when the time comes, those first words are very important. Repeat after me ... Duke sucks!

[underpants]

25. LOL

Duke sucks indeed

The cats already have me on a 1AM 3AM (we get up about 6) schedule anyway-one of them eats prescrition food. I guess my lazy sleepy Saturdays and Sundays are over though.

Thanks.

16. Congratulations!

This is so great. A big smile this morning. Will you be changing from your "big boys" to diapers?

A great time in your life, enjoy this.

24. Big Congratulations to you & Mrs. Underpants!

Only 34 more weeks until you get to meet the tenant. :) Here's hoping they are very happy and very uneventful.

[underpants]

29. Yeah we are going to go buy a house next month probably

that may sound strange but I am determined not to get all freaked out about something that is going to happen anyway. As someone I know who audits banks says,"Look they want to lend you the money"-he took 20 minutes on "signing day".

With all this going on I instantly decided to keep everything as simple as possible focusing on my wife and the whole birthing process.

[DeepGreen]

26. Congratulations !

:bounce:

[NewJeffCT]

27. Congratulations and good luck

fatherhood is quite an experience. Catch up on your sleep now.

Jeff is a good name for a boy... but, try the social security website for a list of the top 1000 baby names by year.

[underpants]

33. Yeah I know

My name is Jeff too but with my last name the two names tend to blend together. As simple as my last name is you wouldn't believe how easily everyone screws it up, that is a whole story unto itself.

Thanks.

ON EDIT-there is no way I am naming a child "Jordan" or "Tyler" or any of those other trendy names.

[NewJeffCT]

35. my last name is short

and, it gets mispronounced 90% of the time, at least. I'm actually surprised if anybody pronounces it correcly.

[davsand]

28. What wonderful news!!!

Babies are such a gift! So--if she's at 6 weeks then you have exactly 34 more left to wait. For us, that was terribly difficult. Sounds like you better start working on a dancing diaper graphic birth announcement for here at DU!!!

Congratuatlations to you both!

32. Congratulations!

.. will we see Underpants Jr. as a DU'er? :)

[gollygee]

34. Congrats!!

Very very exciting!

[fleabert]

36. congrats!

after the dust settles, I suggest looking into doulas. I am one, and wouldn't give birth without one! (not a shameless plug for business, I am not taking clients, but a shamelss plug for my profession!)

Have fun! Very exciting experience.

I always remind people that it is one of the most normal, common experiences known to man, but also one of the most unique, special events you personally will every go through. Savor it!

[underpants]

39. Thanks for the hint

I think we are going to have to take this one "by the book" due to my wife's age (pushing 40) but thanks anyway. I will look into it but we will probably go the traditional route-I have read some very good stuff about accupuncture-any opinions you can offer?

[fleabert]

106. I have friends that have gotten a lot out of it...

I would recommend it. It certainly can't hurt. I know of one woman who used acupuncture and a chiropractor for pain relief during labor with great results.

BTW: doulas are traditional, just used to be that our extended families filled that role. doulas don't do anything medical, just support the woman and the family. an advocate that is educated and experienced in the birth process. check out www.dona.org for more info. I have attended all types of births, home and hospital, natural and medicated, vaginal and cesarean. :-)

[davsand]

47. I second the doula suggestion wholeheartedly!

Our doula was a huge part of the entire pregnancy experience, not just the delivery.

Women really are fairly isolated from each other any more--and unless your wife has a cadre of highly experienced "breeding" buddies, a doula can provide a huge amount of support and practical advice thru the entire pregnancy, not just the labor and delivery.

My doula was just a super woman who helped me with all the really odd stuff that comes up while pregnant. She helped me with all those questions that you want to know answers to, but maybe don't want to ask your Doc. (One great example of that is WHY does your poop turn black when you take pre-natal vitamins? It is all the surplus iron being cast off by your body.)

My doula was able to give me advice about stuff like what kind of stuff do you REALLY need to take to the hospital for the baby... (Hint: They really DO provide most of the stuff you need. It isn't necessary to pack diapers to take with you.)

Once you get to the actual birth THEN the doula REALLY shines...

I just can't say enough about how wonderful doulas are!!


Laura

On edit:

Doulas are GREAT for us older Moms. I was 37 when we had our daughter, and the decreased number of C sections with doulas present carried a lot of weight with us when we opted to have a doula help us with the process. They don't replace your Doc or midwife--they are an aditional layer of support for you AND your wife both...

[underpants]

Thanks. I think the to be Grandmothers should be swooping in any time now

Are you kidding they have been preparing for this all of OUR lives.

Doulas do sound to be great. I had never heard of them just midwifes-is there a difference?

[davsand]

60. Doulas are assistants, really--not exactly medical staff.

Chirldbirth.org is a good website, and here is a link to what they have to say about doulas:

http://www.childbirth.org/articles/whatis.html

If you do a google search on doulas, you will be amazed at how much acceptance is there for doulas in the medical community.

We had our daughter 7 (almost 8!) years ago, and doulas were not terribly common in the Midwest at that time. We were very lucky to find a lady who had left her work as a labor and delivery nurse (she'd been doing it for over 20 years) and had begun her work as a doula.

The stats on the number of C sections and labor complications are really a lot better for women who use doulas. Typically, women with a labor assistant (along with their partner) have a much higher success rate with unmedicated childbirth and fewer episiotomies. They have a lower rate of C-sections and report a much greater satisfaction with the entire birthing and post partum experience.

The doula stays with you for the entire experience. Our labor and delivery was not typical of most--I had a lot of complications--but our doula was there every step of the way as a support for my husband and for me.

In our minds, we initially hired her because she was OUR person--not the Doc's, not the hospital's. She was OUR advocate when we were most vulnerable. My husband wanted to be able to focus on the whole labor and delivery process and he felt that having her there really helped him deal with it all with a lot less stress.

Oddly, enough, she was even able to help the grandparents deal with everything that was going on, too. While hubby was dealing with me, she could go and explain stuff to them. Alternately, she freed HIM up to go and deal with family too...

I sure as hell appreciated her too. She did everything from bring treats into the labor ward down to rubbing my back and providing acupressure when I needed it for relief.

I dunno--maybe I should let the actual Doula on here do the sales job, but I have been a huge proponent of doulas since we used one...

Brightest Blessings to you all! I am just delighted for you!

Laura

[fleabert]

109. GRIN! you said it better than I did!

I swear I didn't read this post before I posted! We are singing from the same hymnal sister! I am so happy for you and appreciative of your support of my profession.

Your words, I am sure, carry way more weight than mine. The consumer is the best judge of effectiveness, not the person selling.

To the OP: feel free to email or PM me if you have any further questions, I don't want to come across as a thread hijacker or anything! I would be happy to answer any questions you have about doulas and give you more links and book titles that may be good resources for you.

[fleabert]

108. Very big difference!

I always say that Midwives and Dr's do the catching, and Doula's do the coaching! (Midwives do a lot of coaching too, but mom and baby's health is their main priority)

Doula's provide non medical support. Emotional, physical, educational, etc... Check out the DONA website for more info. www.dona.org. A Doula is the only person in the room that their only job is to support mom and dad/partner. They are not becoming anything else, like a dad, grandmother, aunt etc... nor are they getting paid by the hospital, but directly by the family. you are the boss of them! They also only have you to attend to, no other patients, no office appts, nothing but YOU.

There is nothing like supporting a family during pregancy, birth, and postpartum; it's amazing. It's the best job I have ever had.

[fleabert]

107. The best advertising is word of mouth! I am so glad to hear you had a

great birth experience! Your experience speaks louder than mine, thanks for sharing.

Seriously you are going to have a wonderful but sleepless time. My husband loves to tell first time parents this : "Babies are wonderful, and the source of incredible joy but they are NEVER CONVENIENT". If you keep that in mind you will sail through the early years and wonder where they went.

So many people have these idyllic fantasies about how perfect it is all going to be, and I just sit and giggle, knowing that they don't got a clue!!!
