Its a baby boy!

SO my son was born today at 8:45 am. He was 8lbs flat.

Big, strong and long. Very active, isn't crying non stop. The second he was out he took a breath and cried out. So far my voice gets him instantly relaxed.

I know no one wants to hear parents talk about their ugly babies...well My kid is not the typical baby. He is already handsome and skipped right over the alien baby phase. He is my clone like I was one for my father.

That's all...I want to look at him some more....

I just figured Id post an update...because today I am telling everyone from strangers to random people like cab drivers and cashiers.

Bill at chase Manhattan bank customer service is thrilled...lol,

There are a million things going through my head...but screw my phone and this...I am out.

I have a son!

Scream it from the rooftops proud papa !



Oh, and make sure to torture every single stranger who crosses your path with a 60 page photo album:

... here's baby laying with his right hand on his cheek
... here's baby laying with his left hand on his chin
... here's baby laying with one eye slightly open
... here's baby right before his nap
... here's baby right after his nap

Congratulations tadaman! Is this your first child?

Life as you knew it is over, I wish you the best in your new journey as a dad!

Enjoy the little you, they grow up too fast.

Heh Heh, You forgot the...Here is his first tar poop diaper.

Always seemed wrong the first poop looking like tar......

a reply to: stosh64

LOL !

Ah yes... we all remember that first black tar poo coming out of our little munchkins.

It's clearly a Kodak moment and must be shared with the world, dammit !

Ah, good luck with the little clone. See? He didn't skip the weirdness; he just opted for clone phase over alien.

Ours was also long, strong and 8 lbs even ... that was after they told me he'd be an underweight baby. I could go into the doc issues, but I won't. It would take a rant by itself.

And today is not a ranting day!

Cangrats!

a reply to: tadaman

It's the most amazing feeling in the world... Euphoric and empowering.

Keep spilling man!

That urge to just stare at them... It never goes.

It's these moments and what you're feeling now that gives us a clue to why we're here... To make more of us !!

Best thread I've read in a long time. YEEESSSSSS!!!!!

a reply to: tadaman

Congrats from me too! For at least the next 18 years...you're life is not your own. Start preparing that "Lets talk about girls son...there comes a time in every young man's life he starts to notice....." You get it.

And EIGHT pounds?????!!!! I'd start talking to some major league sports teams too about his future!!!

Aw .. you made me smile tadaman!

Congratulations on your angel, bless your family and wishing him a positive and balanced future.

Thanks for sharing!

Congratulations to you and to Mrs. Tada! Happy for you that all seems well. I hope your wife is doing fine too. Lots to learn every single day from now on. It's such a magic time. Enjoy it while you can, before he grows up, that is.

Now in true ATS fashion: Pics or it didn't happen.

Congratulations Tadaman, man.

Holding your child for the first time, is a wondrous feeling, and with all the firsts to come, it just gets better.

Seriously, congratulations!!

a reply to: tadaman

Congrats.

Enjoy them while they're young because before you know it he'll be hitting you up for the car keys for his hot date.


It happens so fast.

Congrats, heres wishing you and yours a great happy and healthy life.

a reply to: tadaman

Congrats! Oh, and you have an April Fools baby.How about that? Does that mean that his birthday parties are going to be loaded with pranks?

a reply to: tadaman

Congrats on the new kid. Hope he's healthy, wealthy, and has fun in his life. Can't have the best of both worlds sometimes.
