Polyfam--only one of us allowed in the OR, so Im downstairs waiting like a dad from the 50s freaking out a bit. She literally just went in, husband obviously isn't going to be messaging me during the procedure
It's just us three, nothing super interesting, honestly. This is my husband/my first kid, her second. We've been parental support staff to gf for over a year now and my heart just broke into a million pieces when her daughter shouted "I LOVE YOU!" to wake me up this morning. THIS IS HAPPENING and I'm feeling more emotions than I was aware existed and i just wish i was with my family right now but hospital policy--i can't. Poly parents--help? or something? My only friend in a similar relationship is in s different time zone and definitely asleep right now
HE'S OUT NOW!!!BUT WAITING ON THEM TO MOVE TO A ROOM IS EXCRUCIATING!! Husband sent pics and hes a goddamn perfect chonk of baby made out of my two favorite people and i am shaking with so many emotions waiting to meet him!!!!
I’m excited for you!! If my time estimate is right you shouldn’t have long now.
Best advice I can think of right now is that life with a baby is like 30-40% support the neck/check which foods are okay and when/diapers and cleaning up messes … and like the rest is just being a good partner. Which includes doing the above things your fair share and taking over when someone else is worn out, yes. But it’s also about supporting each other in other ways - being patient when you’re exhausted, not sweating the small stuff, letting each other know you care and you’re in this together.
Also my doctor recommended having a safeword for when you’re about to fall asleep holding the baby or otherwise need an out, where someone else will take over IMMEDIATELY, no questions asked.
It’s hard. But you got this.
