A son !! Congratulations !!

Get involved in coaching the sports your son is involved with. Even if they weren't your thing. I coached soccer, baseball, lacrosse, and spend every Friday night in the dojo.

Talk about nervous! Here I sit waiting on my first to be born. My wife went into labor an hour ago. I have spent the last 14 years in the field as a paramedic and i have never been so nervous. I feel like a whore in church! View attachment 829865

Congrats. You’ll both be fine. Definitely a very surreal experience.

Now......child birth is an EMT skill son. Get in there and deliver him. I delivered both mine. I actually got “yelled at” for talking shop with the doctor.
Also, those force hires and extra shifts will start to hurt more once you have kids and want to be around them. For me it’s a real gut shot. I don’t work as much as I used too.

This^^^^^ I never played football but learned a lot coaching and both of us really enjoy our time on the field together. He is almost 9, it seems like yesterday I was holding him for the first time.

I will never forget night my son was born. Best and scariest morning of my life. 28 years later still one of my best experiences. Also the birth of my daughter two years and one week later!!! You are a lucky man!

Lol that is my son’s middle name! For the same reason. I wanted his first name to be Kurtis because I had a Kurtis runner bottom. Family overruled me...

Well, missed the write off...but from a guy's point of view, easier to remember age when somebody asks you in a few years...well, as long as you remember what year it is:p

Congrats to the new "family unit"...it will still be a bit surreal, but you and your wife will get it squared away.

Perspective will change as a father. Others have said it too. I don't know how it will in your line of work, but it may change that as well. You now are a parent, and have brought forth a new life. Suddenly that wheel may turn. You aren't as much your father's son, as you are your son's father...you will always be both, but...well hell, hard for me to explain:(


Congrats again, hope all of you get some rest;)
