we kinda did, we flew back to the Bay to have our baby shower among Family, flew from NY where we currently live
My wife and I, went shopping for the baby for the first time today. Today was the first time it really hit me that i'm going to be a father. Low key felt out of place in the baby store today.
All my wife looks at is baby stuff / Baby Info. I really haven't done any research or anything
It just doesn't feel real. Did any of you guys go through this?
I need to step it up
That's a pretty accurate description. Dull aching pain for a week+. I went back to wearing boxers after a few days and that was a mistake. I'd recommend wearing compression shorts or briefs for at least a week to keep your boys nice and close to your body to give them time to heal. I had my procedure done on a Friday and laid low all weekend, spending lots of time in bed and never left the house until Monday morning to go to work. Keeping a bag of frozen peas or cold compress between your legs at the incision site for a day or so is crucial. I only experienced slight bruising around the incision, but have heard from others who didn't really lay low that they had ALOT more bruising and a longer period of discomfort. You'll get some phantom pain here and there that will go away after a few weeks to month, but it's mostly healed after a week to 10 days. I was initially planning on not filling the prescription for valium the urologist gave me, but was talked into it by my brother in law and I'm glad I did. It definitely helped relax me and keep me from feeling any anxiety before/during the procedure. I'm a pretty relaxed guy in general, but there's nothing relaxing about having that part of your body cut open. The worst is the shots to numb you, followed by a weird tugging sensation when the doc is pulling your vas deferens through the incision to cut and cauterize it. Whatever you do, don't watch. Just close your eyes and hope the nurse isn't one of your ex gf's. Any pain or discomfort you feel is nothing compared to childbirth. Get it done and don't look back.
i took my wife to kauai (we live on oahu) for our babymoon. she really appreciated it. she really loved the hotel pool and i carried her around in the water while she floated on her back. it was great relief for her poor swollen feet
we just relaxed, ate lots of food and hung out together. lots of the stuff we bought ourselves beforehand and got at our baby showers were pretty much a waste
my son hated the stroller so i coulda got some cheapass thing instead of a bugaboo that we barely used. we had like 3 of those rocker things with sounds and music that lull your kid to sleep. two of them were really fancy but of course my son only liked the one that prolly cost around $25. thing ran on batteries - didn't even plug in. i could go on and on. we donated so much brand new stuff to salvation army that first year.
Swag level cant be touched!
Next week is may...baygirl arrives in july. Jeez where does the time really go?!
Likewise for my daughter, but at the end of July.
Just dropped her off at daycare for the first time this morning and she was an absolute wreck. I knew sticking around was making it worse but damn, this has been one of the toughest things I've ever done leaving my Princess while she's bawling

Hyatt Huntington Beach is a good one to look into if you don't already have a spot in mind. Also love Newport Coast Villas with the fam cuz they're all 2 bedroom units, but that's overkill if it's just you and the wife.
Appreciate it fam, not ready for him to be getting into **** when he start walking lolHBD to your little man! Enjoy the walking and teething phase bro
My 1y/o will not stop SCREAMING at the top of his lungs.... for everything.
