Wish us Luck!

Well, tommorrow at 1230 my wife will go in to have a primary c/s due to our little guys habit of trying to land feet first. Those who have been here before, you know how this feels. I have been an ob nurse for 1.5 years now, and I am very excited. But being an ob nurse is perhaps making me more nervous than most new dads. I wish I could only worry about the thought of taking care of a newborn and not knowing what I wouldn't know, but I can't help think of some of the bad experiences. How, can I ask, have you ob nurses who have been in the biz before having your own kids, deal with these thoughts? It's bad enough being worried about my wife, I cannot imagine if I was the one having the surgery. I know it'll all be okay, and if nothing else, my wife is probably less nervous than some primips because I can answer her concerns. Oh, what a feeling! Thanks all!:D

Joeb, Mrs. Joeb, and baby Joeb,

Many wishes for happy and safe delivery and recovery

Take care and don't be afraid to change diapers!! :D (somehow I doubt this will be an issue!)

You just literally cannot think of all the things that COULD go wrong, or you will drive yourself insane! This I know from personal experience!

All the best to all 3 of you!

Good luck! Enjoy your little one!

Best of luck!

Enjoy the moment which ever way the birth happens it changes your life forever

:hbsmiley:Thanks to all. Jackson Samuel was born Wednesday June 11th at 13:13. 8#4oz, and everything has gone well. I was nervous, as my coworkers who took care of us that day said I would not quit pacing. The doctor let me "catch" the baby in OR, so I can say I held him first. Only thing was that the breast feeding didn't work(she just wasn't into it). And our doc never made rounds on her post op day #1, but everything turned out awesome. I even got to have one OB nurse photograph everything, and another did the whole section on video.(the one nurse was there when I was born, and was there when my wife was born too! Talk about full circle. Thanks again to all.jack+015.JPGHere's the lil ball of fur.(obviously the date on pic is wrong)
