Congratulations!

Congrats mate! :)

Congratulations, dad. I’m a father of a healthy 12 month old son. Wife had an ectopic pregnancy prior, and took her a while to be able to get pregnant. I am the happiest person on earth and I can’t picture life without my son. Enjoy and cherish every single moment; from waking up at night to feed him and change his diapers. It will be exhausting, but VERY rewarding. My heart melts when my son looks at me and gives me the biggest smile. Once again, congrats! 🥹

Oh my LORD!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR WIFE!!!!!

Treasure every min. They grow very fast. I have been married for 45 years. My hubby couldn’t stand to change diapers. So I always did it. Moms don’t care, it’s in our nature. Hubbys are not so lucky. I let him slide doing it at all. Baths are also me only. He would dry him, I would dress him. Always. My son is 40 now and expecting his 3rd child my third grandchild! He got late start.

Random dude from Dearborn, Michigan browsing Reddit just wanting to say congratulations!! I wish you guys well!!!

Congrats, you went through a lot, you deserve this. We had a miscarriage once , I couldn't imagine multiple and a stillborn, the toll that must take.
5,213
daddit
Aww, he looks like he’s gonna give you trouble.

Congratulations! You’re going to love it, dad! Just a note: you will eat poop.

Congratulations on being a father. Congratulations on getting the worse roommate ever. He’s never going to pay rent, will be high maintenance, he will require you to buy him food, bathe and clothe him /s (just in case) Seriously having a child is like having the worse roommate that you love

Where's the teddy bear from? I like it Also congrats!

I look forward to many more daddit posts from you over the years. Your story is inspiring and a beautiful reminder to keep trying. Thank you!

Congratulations on your little one! :D

God bless.

I told myself i was ready. Nothing prepared me for the consistency of the first poo.
5,233
daddit
This baby look like he already got bills to pay. Lol. But for real, this is great. Congrats, u/cptsnuggles21 ! Welcome to the club. You're gonna be a great dad.
5,234
daddit
Late to the party but this baby just learned that Dad misfiled his 1040.
5,235
daddit
Oh dad, looking at those ages you are entering the Thunderdome. Godspeed.
5,236
daddit
It truly does. Hearing him scream was the light at the end of the tunnel for sure.
5,237
daddit
I’ve got so much respect for couples who can pull this off. I can’t imagine how difficult it must be. Just heart break after heart break for years…
5,238
daddit
Wait, do you have two sets of twins? If so, I don't really have much to say except that I am impressed.
5,239
daddit
I've never been this tired, but also awake in my life. I love it.
5,240
daddit
Reading this at 1am with a 9month old that’s sat on my chest farting. I’m ride or die team no sleep
5,241
daddit
For sure! Some stuff was just for a cute pose, we were figuring out everything else as we went. It's one thing to practice strapping a teddy bear in, very different with him!
5,242
daddit
That means more than you know. The hardest question was always "is this your first" and in my head I'd think absolutely not, but I found responding with "technically the second, but it's a depressing story" usually gave the hint, without having to explain much more.
5,243
daddit
> IMO I think you have been a dad since the beginning Found the anti-choice commenter.
5,244
daddit
Thats what we are. Had years of trying, ectopics, my son stillbirth at 36 weeks. Finally got our girl safely here, now she's 11 month old and we have another on the way but this time no huge medical intervention. Odd how it works sometimes.
5,245
daddit
I'm in this anecdote :) We had tons of trouble with our first, ended up doing IUI and after years of trying had our first, then 16 months later our second was born, which was definitely NOT on purpose but also not not on purpose if that makes sense...we wanted multiple kids but we thought we'd have the same battle for the second one but absolutely not the case
5,246
daddit
She's doing great. We're exhausted, but nothing a little teamwork can't handle.
5,247
daddit
Nam flashbacks.
5,248
daddit
The bear was mine when I was a baby! No idea where I'd get another, but it feels cool being able to get pictures with him and my bear.
5,249
daddit
You're goddammit right.
5,250
daddit
Thank you. It's been 100% worth.
5,251
daddit
Wish you the best man. It can be a struggle. We went through every bit of fertility science there is, so if you have any questions or need support, lmk.
5,252
daddit
Stupid selfish babies. Can't even do chores or help out around the house. xD
5,253
daddit
I have no idea! It was my bear when I was a baby, and your comment made me realize, I never asked my mom where it came from.
5,254
daddit
ahh the black sludge
5,255
daddit
wait for the seeds
5,256
daddit
The first ones aren’t that bad. Wait until they start smelling…
5,257
daddit
Yup, the sludge. Nothing prepares you for that
5,258
daddit
I was told about Meconium in a parenting class. I didn't picture a diaper full of what ever Venom is.
5,259
daddit
Wait until you get the smell of the "first poo on a solid diet"
5,260
daddit
Mine is 9 months old. You’ll miss the black sludge.

Congrats! We fought for 5 years for my daughter and ended up being successful with ivf. Long road. Lots of tears. Lots of sorrow. Lots of money. But it was all worth it. Sleepless nights and poop explosions and all.

It gets better, and also, this is the best.

It only gets more fun once they suddenly seem to have extra limbs out of nowhere. Glad to hear most stuff was just momentary adorableness though! So many things people don't know about car seat safety because it's honestly not very clear and unless you go to specifically trained for, everyone just says "check your car and car seat manufacturer's manual" but I swear the entire thing is "do this, unless this is a thing. Then do this, but only if it's a Wednesday in June and it's a full moon, while you are installing it during a monsoon with a full bladder". All the best with the new munchkin!

My favourite tip for the first year is to get a car seat blanket. I've seen them called baby hoodies. They have holes for the straps and stay on the seat but you can wrap them up for the journey between the house and car but unwrap them in seconds once you are in the car so they don't overheat.
5,268
daddit
Yeah some good advice I think I got from Reddit actually, just remember that babies are meant to be forcibly squished out of a tiny hole as the first thing they do on earth. They're a lot more durable and flexible than you think. Of course always be careful, but there's no need to act like you'll break the kid

My first would be going to college this year. It's still hard to answer. "Yes" feels like a betrayal. "No" is opening a box I don't always want to open.
5,270
daddit
A lot of us are right there with you, friend. My son is five months old. He’s my “first,” but really he’s our third. Much love to you and your family.
5,271
daddit
I feel you, I usually say “this is my oldest.”
5,272
daddit
It did turn out that you were right about this person's politics, but there are a lot of adults of every political party who have endured miscarriage and would consider themselves and others like them to be parents.
5,273
daddit
Wrong, I am pro-choice. 1) Abstinence 2) Contraceptives 3) Adoption 4) Parenthood Those are all choices I support
5,274
daddit
Excellent. And by your username, it seems like you’re already in command of snuggle time. Well done :)

Mine was more of a black mastic. I’m envious of this sludge

"Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed, Then one day he was shootin at some food, And up through the ground came a bubblin crude." This theme song came to mind when I first witnessed this phenom.

Oh how I miss the breastmilk poos, kind of yeasty smelling. Now it's like a sick dog used the nappy.
5,280

Face masks and mint leaves help though

That is freaking hilarious!

Teenagers get a bad reputation but I have loved the teen years. I have an 18 year old daughter and a 17 year old son. We are on vacation right now and I am already dreading it ending. In a few weeks my oldest will move across the country into her college dorm. That is the only downside of the teen years for me. They absolutely fly by. High school was over in a flash for my oldest and my younger one is getting ready to enter his senior year. I am so proud of the young adults they are becoming but I am going to miss the teenage years so much.

100%. It was years of getting kicked in the nuts, its so wonderful to finally get a win. And a big win at that. Glad you were successful brother.
5,284
daddit
Ahh, okay. Sure that makes plenty of sense.

When? My 3.5month old is better than when he first came come, but I still feel like I haven't have a real nights sleep in 3.5 months
5,287
daddit
100% captured how it feels. Not acknowledging the first is as hard as talking about it.
5,288
daddit
Yup, that sounds about _right_

My wife never watched the Hillbillies so she didn't get my first dad joke about Texas Tea....
5,290
daddit
Yeaaahh those are fun. The ones where you have to decide to shower/hose the kid off or if baby wipes can handle that mess
5,291

I can't prove that the fast acting exorcism helped, but I wasn't taking any chances either...
5,292
daddit
Right about now. Try feeding them a bunch extra right around bedtime. Between 3-4mo is when mine started sleeping through the night.
5,293
daddit
This whole post shouldn’t be about our differences, it should be about OP’s journey and celebration of his family.
5,294
daddit
Before he sleeps I pretty much feed him til he stops eating(he usually dozes off with the bottle in his mouth lol) which is usually about 4oz. If I put him to sleep at 8pm he usually wakes every 3-5 hours to eat again. Hoping he'll start eating and sleeping more soon

They had Crazy Socks Day at my son’s daycare in support of World Down Syndrome Day! He’s only 15 months old and has no idea what it’s about, but he was **PUMPED** to wear one of his TMNT socks on his left foot and one of his Power Rangers socks on his right. I’m looking forward to future years when he’s a bit more aware and I can teach him that the purpose of days like today is to celebrate the strength, courage and love of families like yours, OP. Your daughter is so intensely lucky to have such a big, happy, smiling dad - but we both know you’re the lucky one, eh?
5,298

I had an uncle with Down's syndrome and have had nothing but wonderful experiences around people with it. Your daughter is adorable!
