xstreetsweeperx Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 So on January 4th, 2012 at 00:51 AM EST I became a father to Bently Allen. He came into the world weighing in at 6 pounds 8 ounces. He was 19 1/2 inches long. The only thing that was wrong was his due date and he came out two weeks late even though the doctors were unaware of it. If any of you have any suggestions that you would like to give I would greatly appreciate it. - Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xstreetsweeperx Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 Thanks Happi! I am taking quite a bit of pictures. Thanks for the advice though. I will remember that. I also know that he will grow up really fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFIB Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Probably the best thing you can do for him is to love him unconditionally and let him see that you love his mom. Spend as much time as you can with him. It means more to them than it does for us. They will be grown up and gone before you know it. Print some of the pictures you take. I have tons of pictures that never made it past digital. Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xstreetsweeperx Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 Thanks DFIB! I know that I have quite a few digital photos. None are printed as of yet. I will need to get to that asap. I will love him unconditionally and no matter what. I'm sure that he sees that I love his mom. Even though he doesn't realize it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spenac Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Time with your child will mean more than any gift in the long run. If you split with babies momma make sure and never disrespect or speak badly of her as you can damage your relationship with your child by doing so.

Richard B the EMT Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 So on January 4th, 2012 at 00:51 AM EST I became a father to Bently Allen. Congrats on your "Promotion". I take it that this is your first progeny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcripp Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 My two cents along with the photos...is to get a journal and WRITE everything down; things that you would want to put in Twitter or FB. Do one every day even if it is just a one liner and how you felt that day holding your new child; include your senses. Then, as he ages, you'll be able to write down the things he does and says. I wish I had done it because my memories are now fleeting ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brainurz Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 best wishes for your brood!! you're still quite young yourself, right? good!! i don't have any myself (and at 38, i'm thinking the fruit's past it's prime by now, not to mention just the thought of raising kids makes me have palpitations) but i believe parenthood is a very energy intensive endeavor. get the running shoes on!! i'll be praying for y'all!
