, the one he's in now is pretty good and inside of a community center. One of his teacher's son's is also in the class and she breastfed as well so my son gravitated towards her. 
Damn that school sounds expensive. Daycare bill has me nervous, I've heard it's basically another mortgage. What kind of homework did y'all do? Internet research or word of mouth? I'm nervous fellas. Lol
So finally checking into this thread...my daughter was born on 1/20 and its been a crazy past couple days.
Last night my wife found out she had post eclampsia which apparently is pretty serious. Her mom drove her to the hospital and I spent the whole night with her alone. Glad to say everything was OK. Got pretty stressed out at certain points but it was all good.
They wanted to keep he another night to monitor her blood pressure so me and the baby are now here with her.
Her blood pressure has dropped and now they're just monitoring her.
Glad to be in here and I will try to help out as often as possible.
Sleep sacks are the truth..keeps them warm and makes it very easy to change their diaper in the middle of the night.
My wife had a c-section because of some complications..only ppl in the room were me and the wife..when they brought me in they had already started and I didn't know..so I looked up and saw her all cut open
When my daughter came I was kinda out of it..my wife was feeling really sick so I was trying support her.
My daughter was also born with some fluid in her lungs and wasn't breathing well enough on her own. I got to walk over to her a couple minutes after..but there were so many people monitoring her and checking stuff...that I wasn't really able to have that moment.
They eventually decided to bring her to special care..they brought her to my wife for 5 seconds before they took her away. I was able to see her like 2 hours after (my wife didn't her to see her till 12 hours after)..but didn't get to hold her until 6 hours after she was born..and at that point I completly started balling in front of everyone that was there
I didn't which honestly surprised me cause I thought a few thug drops were guaranteed
Definitely. It was just us and a friend that was taking pictures/video. If there's someone you trust to do it, you'll get some great shots and memories of the first few minutes of your child's life.
Bruh
They didn't "allow" me to take video of anything during my wife's labor
Our next baby due beginning of May too! Due May 5th I believe
we paid 20k/year for the first 2.5 years of my son's day care. now he's in a pre-school that i pay around $900/month and that's much easier on me
That's too bad. It's a pretty intimate moment and one I'll never get to forget. I was a complete mess when he was on the table getting examined and washed after he came out.
Thankfully you can write off pre-school as a child care expense on taxes. It's nice getting it taken out of my wife's paycheck pre-tax since it's basically "free" (budget wise) and we get the tax break since it's pre-tax dollars. Either way it helps with the sting of writing that check every month.we paid 20k/year for the first 2.5 years of my son's day care. now he's in a pre-school that i pay around $900/month and that's much easier on me
my wife did all the research but we went with the expensive day care because it was the only place with an opening for a 3 month old when our plan for swapping work shifts fell through last minute.
