At the beginning, your so excited and nothing can bring you down. You feel as if you have created a gift... A LIFE! Wow! The weeks start to fly and your first check up comes, you become overwhelmed at the information they give you about what can go wrong or what may be wrong with your baby. So you begin to over think. Do I need that test to see if baby has Down syndrome!? We decided no. We'd love them any way. Then the next check comes and they start asking you why you haven't done it!? Then you start getting scans and BOOM! You see them! And nothing can describe the feeling. Even if you try you can't describe the feeling. Then the weeks go on, my wife began to struggle. Get tired and couldn't do things fast. So id help out doing dishes, nip for shopping and making tea. But the emotional roller coaster still keeps on ticking for her. You see your powerful partner cry for no reason and can't understand why. (Hormones) so you comfort her and all is ok for that day. Then she discovers broken biscuits and starts crying haha. You try no to laugh, it's a big deal to her. 😂 then the next scan comes and we get told she has a low lying placenta. May need C section. You start to deal with it and all the while my wife is scared what people will think of her body. Because people can be judgmental. I see it now after we've created out baby boy and still find her beautiful, every mark makes me so proud of her and her strength. So then more scans come and we are scared! Not much information is given. Then she gets told all is ok but baby is measuring big 😢 more test to follow. Bloods need taken, but she has shallow vains and you see the nurse inflicting pain on her and wish you could just let them take it from you, but that's not an option. Then we get results! ALL IS WELL! The weeks start to fly again and we are excited and start classes together. How to wash the little one and not take a pee to the face 😂 doesn't help! Couples breast feeding. Etc then the day arrives!!!! He's coming.... Questions you ask yourself, am I going to be a good parent? Will he love me? Will they be ok? Only time can tell. It began smoothly, but then went from 0-100 very fast. 29 hours labour with gas and air and 6 cm dilated but then noticed he'd turned and was coming face first. We were rushed up stairs for a emergency C section. So after all the worry it went how it went! I saw my wife lying on the table I was completely helpless as she went into shock and was cut open BUT THEN!!! What felt like a life time in that room (only 20 minutes) they pulled my baby boy Hunter Hailes into the air and I began to cry! Big macheline man who loves martial arts and eats stake! Haha words can describe how it feels it comes from head to toe or pure love and happiness and awe and just overwhelming urge to cuddle him and tell him he's loved. But him mam is still lying there helpless. So what feels like a life time she gets people moving around her saying things you don't understand and being worked on. Then I'm asked to leave my world in a room! But not long after I'm shown to a room and there they are my family! The days pass quickly in hospital after the first poo takes place you pretty much become immune to having poo on you haha. Then we come home as a family and WOW you don't expect the impact on your life this little person can have. The crying drains you, then the feeds every 2 hours and cleaning of the bottles as well as normal house duties. The looking after him and feeding him and forgetting to eat yourself. Then having to leave my family while I go off to work. Hoping mam can cope and he's not crying all day to be sent videos and pictures of him and thinking with out a doubt this is the best thing I've ever achieved with my life meeting my soul mate and creating a home where we can welcome a life For him. So to the new parents feeling overwhelmed it gets better! Hold on and just wait till you see them smile!
