Ordering a baby....

[towncop]

Well, here it is, a little past the two year mark on my second marriage and it looks like it's time to put in the order for a baby. :eek: It's been 9 years since my son was born (first marriage obviously) and I'm scared as hell to think about a new baby again and all that stuff. It's been sooo long since I've had to deal with the newborn issues, I don't think I remember that much about it! Any guidance for putting an order-fillers mind at ease brothers and sisters? LOL. By the way, WIFEY, I know you're reading this and I'm very excited to start trying! ;)

Look at it this way, you kinda know what to expect, so you'll be a little ahead of the game.

LOL. Go to the thread about O.com being addictive. :D Besides, the wifey is asleep on the couch. We'll get focused later in the week I'm sure. I work two more days and then I'm off until after the new year. LOL. Well, I'm sure she's hoping the same thing, LOL.

Already been to the addictive thread. Chances are I need the most help of them all.

[Mid_Ohio_Po]

Everyone's always excited to try...lol, and if there's something to be a failure at and keep trying...WOOHOOO

LOL, all jokes aside, best of luck to you man. My wife's been trying to convince me it's time for number two, but I'm just havin so much fun with the first one.

[Styx]

So, now, wait a minute......you guys get nervouse about the second baby? Why?

[towncop]

So, now, wait a minute......you guys get nervouse about the second baby? Why?

Well, it's OUR first together. Like I said, my son is 9 years old, and I was divorced when he was 3 so I'm not that use to the kid thing. I've been getting him like two days a week since then. So, like I said, it's THIS marriages first, lol. And yes, we're nervous!! :eek:

Well, that makes sense.
But, why would a man be nervous for child #2. I only ask because I tested positive for pregnancy today and when I told my husband that I have a nuses appt tomorrow for a confirmation on a pregnancy, he said, "What does that mean. " I replied, " It means I took a test and I am pregnant." His reply, "Oh wow." I almost yelled at him, but justr asked why he didnt sound happy and he said he was, but he was nervous." So before he gets home tonight and I rip him a new one....is that normal?

hahaha, you sounded like my wife, but my response was " Huh!!!", but our second, who is now 5 weeks, was a total shock to both of us,,

i think when you tell us over the phone, its more of a blind side thing than not being happy, :)

[toby101]

Well if you weren't out shopping around visiting all the stores and seeing what each store has to offer then she wouldn't be calling you over the phone telling you that your a daddy.


Just kidding of course Gotthblues,

well, my first is almost 5, we just had our 2nd, he s only 5 weeks old now, this one was a heck of a lot easier than the first, itll all come back to you, oh yea, DONT PUSH ON THE TOP OF THEIR HEAD, ITS A SOFT SPOT, :D

and if its a boy, *my 1st a girl, 2nd a boy, all new to me*, just remember when changing the diaper, while you are in deep consentration, puttin the diaper on right, just remember, BABY BOYS PEE STRAIGHT UP, so be ready to tuck duck and roll, or you;ll get it in the eye, :eek:

[towncop]

I still remember them warning us about this one when we were learning how to change diapers in the baby-sitting course I took.

You say that now, but wait until she's older and the hormones start triggering the attitude and the mood swings. I remember when I was a pre-teen. Those were some scary days.

[toby101]

Just wait til she is the dating age, and then you have to run all the guys she decides to date or even just to "hang out with"

That's just the way it should be... ;) !

Although... if my daddy had laid down the law a bit harder and not fallen for that kind of stuff I might actually have some sort of discpline :o .

But I can't complain if the only thing I can find 'wrong' with my father is that I think he wasn't strict enough.

[gotthblues]

well, i am doing my dangdest to raise her to be a responsible contributer to society, not a snot nose punk, BUT, a while back i got onto her because my wife and i were putting away the groceries, and she kept asking for a popsickle, anywho, i told her to wait a minute and she asked again, so i got onto her, she stood there like a little trooper, head tilted down, bottom lip out, eyes watering and looking up, trying her best not to cry, about 30 seconds later, i gave her two popsickles, :rolleyes:

[toby101]

So you are a hardass, but can be really nice to your poor daughter. I think you should give her three popsickles because we all feel sorry for her being your daughter.

[gotthblues]

i gotta popsickle for ya buddy, right here between the pointer finger and the ring finger,,,, :eek:

[Photogrrlz]

you all can keep the babies...

Since she was trying not to cry and as long as she doesn't pull that routine everytime she wants something, you'll be ok. ;)

Age is a big factor in this type of behavior too. IMHO, anything under 5 they will get over with some maturity and "education", but after that means that they have probably learned the evil art of manipulation.

You want her to have a strong will and be independent when she is older, that unfortunately translates to being a real pain in the *** when she is little.

[gotthblues]

yea, im careful with the manipulation thing, but sometimes i cant help myself. :rolleyes:

shes a good kid, real good, usually after she does get in trouble, spanking, time out, whatever, about 10 minutes later she comes running after me, crying telling me she loves me and she's sorry, then we have a talk about WHY she got into trouble and WHY it was wrong, then she curls up in my lap and we read a book or watch a cartoon, plus people always tell us how great a kid she is and how they cant believe how well she acts for her age, so i guess i am doing something right????????????

I actually think your wife is doing something right. You can't take all the credit on this one.

Well it is postive, would you rather hear me whine about having a kid in a unplanned pregnancy and being angry. I am up front enough to realize I am to selfish and have alot of growing to do before I can take on a full time commitment to raise children. ;)

[gotthblues]

you started this, havent seen you put anything out in a bit, so whats it gonna be,,,if you dont mind the nosey ?????????????????????'s

[towncop]

Well, since I started this thread almost 10 days ago, I've put in about three or four orders ( ;) ) and all of them were for a little girl. We'll just have to wait to see if the order that was given, was actually taken! LOL I'll keep you all up to date. :D

I dont think theres a thing wrong with not wanting kids. Better to know it up front...I knew it also.

hmmm thats not alot of trying.... 3-4 in 10 days....hmmm

[ptcop531]

Actually, there is a science to this. Trust me. Fertility problems on my wife's side has made me somewhat of an expert..
Ovulation days......
Wife's Temperature.....
Man's testicle temperature...
Sperm Count....
Days in between sexual encounters...
Postion of the planet Jupiter...(just kidding)
Sometimes it takes more than once..(contrary to what they say in high school)
Sometimes having multiple encounters in a short time doesn't work.
(watch it wives, husbands may try this)


Not trying to be funny, but Towncop, my Brother, contact me if further advice is needed.....

[MountainCop]

hmmm thats not alot of trying.... 3-4 in 10 days....hmmm

Well, he's gotta come up for air SOMETIME.... :rolleyes:

[toby101]

Towncop, why the hell would you wanna have a girl.

I told my girlfriend (god bless her heart) that we are only have boys.

TOO MUCH!!!

Don't touch her for six months and you'll be good to go. At least that's what worked for us!

[Styx]

No, no, no........dont abstain from anything..the boys need a work out. just dont do it every night...dont coundt anything...just do what comes natural and nature will take its course. Panning and counting builds up too much nervouse tension and the human body cant resond how it should.

I am almost sure I got pregnant the night my husband was playing King Kong a little too much on his new Xbox 360 (that horrid thing). Our daughter actually fell asleep when I wanted he to, so I went downstairs and I told him that "this monkey needed some love" and after a few minutes of hearing King Kong and T-rex battle it out some more.....he took the hint. No planning...no counting....just a woman in need of some "monkey love".....simple as that. We werent even planning on another baby until the New Year....it just happened.

And what do you know...BAM......I am due August 30. I guess the Xbox is not so bad afterall.

[toby101]

Congrads Styx, I hope the baby comes out with no physical or mental problems for you and your husband.


You may think that Xbox is the devil when he says I have to finish this game rather then change a diaper or feed the baby.

Thanks.......

As far as the Xbox being the devil...its already approaching that status. If he would give me sometime to play it; it will not morph into that. At the moment , he has the thing set up on our computer network in the house, so he can record television shows on my computer, burn it on a disc and Viola.....kind of like a better version of Tivo. He also has our photos stored in there. He can download some of our DVDs onto the Xbox and we can choose what to watch by searching the Xbox menu. It does not hold too many movies, but it is pretty convenient. He is such a compter geek, but thats ok.
Have you seen the new Xbox. I dont know much about that stuff, but that thing is pretty awesome looking.....He has spebt a lot of time playing his fave games and setting the Xboz up to our network, but its kind of neat. I am sure will have it out of his system onece the baby gets here. He has a lot of nervous energy lately and if he does not use it, he gets grumpy. I think he is nervous about the baby; he just wont admit it.

[Proud C.O. Wife]

It will be like riding a bike. Once you hold that baby in your arms for the first time. Everything will come back to you. As soon as you see those little toes, budda belly and beautiful face all that will matter is that is your world and you will be the best dad you can be. Im wishing you good luck and I bet your wife is thrilled. Good Luck

Good luck on this one Styx,

I have a brother-in-law that loves his video games so much, and there also expecting a baby. So it should be interesting.

[mach4]

I'm so glad I'm over 40 and because of surgery don't have to worry about having a baby! I love holding them and wouldn't have minded have having another one, but the boyfriend and I have agreed that one for each of us was enough. Sometimes I think he says that to make me feel better and it works. :D OK, it works for me.

[towncop]

First month down, no order accepted, LOL! :D

[Proud C.O. Wife]

First month down, no order accepted, LOL! :D

LoL time for a pep talk lol we are trying to concieve our second child now so hopefully soon.

[Styx]

Thats up to you , not her.......you could just be shooting X's and no Y's...you know.


There are a few theories about positions and time of conception that can help the Y's find and conquer easier. The X's are stronger afterall.....
Theory has it that a highly acidic diet for the female usually results in a female baby....since X's are stronger. A bland diet and sex right after Aunt Flo has left the building and a sexual position which ensures sperm easy entry into the uterus helps the Y's. Use your imagination and stay clear from missionary.....

Just a theory....know a few people who it worked for...... I didnt care what gender my children were......just that they are healthy. Already have one healthy girl and I may have a boy or twins since this pregnancy is so different from my first...should find out sometime next month.

[Ninjagirl]

I just put an order in too. SWAT and his wife are gonna make me one. They make em big. 8lbs! Ask nice and maybe they will make you one too. But the next one is mine. :D

[ptcop531]

Brother Towncop,
Congratulations. I must admit I miss having an infant at home... Sometimes. :rolleyes:

It took us a long time to make our first one. But while we were expecting the baby, it made our relationship more special, more fun. The further along the pregnancy, it got more special and more fun when you can feel the baby move. As a dad, having the mother place my hand on her tummy, and feeling the baby move....Wow, nothing like it.


Take care....

[towncop]

Thanks to all of your for making this a lot of fun, posting the progress and all on here. As I said in the beginning, I've got a 9 year old son, so it's going to be a whole learning process again during the pregnancy, lol. The wife and I are excited. I'll keep you all posted, if interested, once we find out what the little towncop is gonna be. By the way Brother PTCOP531, everytime I read your signature line about Matt, it kills me to remember him from the academy and to think that he's no longer among his classmates. :mad:

[Bklngirl]

Congrats Towncop! Best of luck for a healthy baby and a healthy Mom.

[USCG]

Congratulations!Keep us posted! :)

[Styx]

Congrats...my best wishes and prayers are with you both.

[ptcop531]

Brother TownCop, I must admit I did not know Matt as well as some of the other deputies. I knew him well enough to know he was a good cop, good husband, all around good guy. The guy you want your sister or daughter to marry. I was deeply impressed, and touched when he decided to leave the department and return to the service. It was shortly after 9/11 when he decided to go.
As I am with many soldiers, I was in awe of his love for this country, that he would give up being a cop, to become a soldier once again. He is a hero. Not just for the way he died, but for the way he lived also. I wish I had known him better... :(

Ok, now I'm putting the controller down. It's not that we wouldn't love to have kids together, just not right now. Still too much on the plates for both of us.


*******Must remember that in the future tho!!!!! :D :D :D

[qwerty]

And yes....Congrats. Keep us posted.

[Motocop]

:D Order taken! :cool: Should arrive in October. Will find out more when we visit the Doc's in two weeks. ;)

Congrats! The wife and I are expecting our 1st in 3 weeks. Don't worry about getting use to a new born again. I was very nervous when we first started trying almost 5 years ago, and was still nervous when we found out about this pregnancy. It wasn't until about 3 months ago that the nervousness went away and the excitement set it. Now the 3 weeks can't go by fast enough!

The only advice I can give is try and see if her OB has the capability of doing 3D ultrasounds. If so ask him/her for one. They're normally taken between 28-31 weeks. We had one and WOW, you could actually see what the little guy is going to look like!

Keep us posted on the progress.

[AngelFire]

Congrats to all of you expectant moms and dads! I'm happy for you!

And Quopper, I'm with you. Happy it's not me. :D

[towncop]

Went to the Doc with the wife today, got to listen in on the baby's heartbeat. :D Was beating a mile a minute. While the doctor was pushing the wife's belly with that amplifier-thingie, the baby pushed and made a scratching sound (at least that's how the doc explained it). Wife is at 15 weeks right now and on the first of June we'll be finding out boy or girl. Getting more and more excited as it goes! :cool:

[e-man]

That thingie is called the Ultrasound and it does just that, it ULTRA's the sound :D GOod luck, First one??? HAHAHAHA baby that is

[vtinvestigator]

Towncop, Sounds like everything is going fine.
Keep us posted and the air conditioning on for Mom
this summer. ;)
Peter

[ninjamom6]

So happy for you and your wife!!!! :D :D :D

I'll be looking for your post around June 1st once you find out if you're having a boy or a girl. My prayers are with you for a safe pregnancy and delivery, and good health for all.

[towncop]

That thingie is called the Ultrasound and it does just that, it ULTRA's the sound :D GOod luck, First one??? HAHAHAHA baby that is

Nooooo, I know what an ultrasound is. ;) This was some form of doppler device he used. And this will be my second child, wife's first.

Found out last Tuesday........my order is in. It's a BOY!! :D Wife's about 5 months along. Now we're trying to come up with some names. Any suggestions will absolutely be appreciated! LOL.

I think it's normal. My friend called me this afternoon to tell me about her husband's reaction about the "news". Yes, she is pregnant. She said he got staring at her and just said "huh, wow" and walked out of the room. Meanwhile, she calls me crying to tell me about that. I talked to her for a while until he came back in the room. She said that he had some tears rolling down... he is very happy about the baby but at the same time very scared. He's afraid of not being able to be a good dad and does not know how to hold the baby and on my gosh! How about if it's a girl?!
People (and males and females for that matter) process things different... and a kid is not a pet. Once you have them, they are there for a lifetime! For some, that is a scary thought...

I think Timothy is a good one... :)

I am sure you will come up with a good name.


Congratulations, Brother...

Congratulations! So when is the official due date? You've still got plenty of time to come up with a name.

Are there family names that are meaningful to the two of you? People you respect and admire? Of course, naming the boy after his Daddy is always an option. :D

If all else fails, just get one of those baby name books. :cool:

[towncop]

Well, it's almost time. The baby should be here in a couple of weeks. By the way, we've FINALLY decided on a name, after about 20 changes. :rolleyes:

[AngelFire]

I hope everything goes smoothly with the delivery. Are you going to share the name with us? Maybe post some pictures when he gets here?

Take good care of Mama!

[towncop]

Well, the boy has finally arrived!! Took the wife in on Friday the 13th ( :D ) to be induced. Was hoping he'd make it on the 13th, but he decided on the next day. Both mom and baby are doing well. I'm taking the week off work to just hang out and figure things out! :p By the way, the wife tried breast feeding for three days :rolleyes: . As of today, he's on bottles, LOL. Take care all.

[ninjamom6]

Congratulations, Dad! Glad to hear mom & son are okay. Take good care of them now!

And post some pics, too! :D

[hellhound130]

Congrats on the new addition.....Hope everything turns out great....enjoy the sleepless nights

[willowdared]

Whoo hooo!

There's no shame in bottle feeding - sometimes it just doesn't work out, and there's more then enough stress with a new baby.

Just watch out for the firehose during diaper changes! :D

Hugs and best wishes to you all!

Congratulations, towncop! I'm glad that everyone is doing well. :)

Just prey to god your next baby doesn't get colic! My baby had colic for 3 months (colic lasts from 3 months to a year, but mostly 3 months), but luckily since my husband is deaf I was able to get some rest. We are planning on having another one in the next 2 years or so and I'm just nervous thinking about it, but as with most pregnancies every one is different. It don't matter if you had 2 or 16 you never know the outcome. Just prey for the best! Your next baby will be as beautiful as your first. If you gone through it the first time you will be fine the 2nd time around.
