July 26, 20214 yr I was pointed towards this thread from @paco, so here’s a small preview of our baby girl, born 7/17/21. Wife had high blood pressure so the doctor decided to schedule a C-section since the baby was basically horizontal in her stomach. 7 lbs 11 oz. Everyone is back home and healthy. We had newborn pictures this past Saturday, and I’ll post more once we get them back. The 2nd is a pic I took of the photographer getting a 1 week old baby in the best position for the pics. Andy Reid would have sucked at this. Cuteness overload.
July 27, 20214 yr It’s been awhile since I have been on the boards. Congratulations guys! Sleep will come back eventually but your life will never be the same (in a good way).

Everyone used to ask us what the he’ll the noise was when we’d turn it on, but after seeing it work a couple times anyone that we’d leave them with would make sure we downloaded it for them first. Definitely a huge lifesaver as one of the key s’s - swaying, swaddling, and shushing.

July 27, 20214 yr Hell I still need the white noise to sleep - we have box fans that we run in the bedroom. Sleeping in the dead quiet is impossible for me.
July 27, 20214 yr Congrats to all the new parents. You may be tired now but just think, if you end up having more kids, you'll eventually look back at this as the old days when things were easier.
July 27, 20214 yr 1 hour ago, paco said: Do you know what its called? We also have one of these: I think it was something really exotic like "white noise” or maybe "white noise Ltd” or something obscure and non-intuitive like that. Edit: I just looked it up in the App Store… it was called White Noise Lite. 😆
July 27, 20214 yr We got turned onto the white noise by a video from the 80’s called Happiest Baby on the Block. The guy showed some simple tricks that worked great for soothing and quieting crying babies I highly recommend it if you can find it, but I remember having trouble locating it a couple years ago when trying to give it to some friends of ours.

July 31, 20214 yr My Great nephew Ben. Five months. I’m so happy for all you guys. It seems a lifetime ago for me with a newborn. Enjoy. The other side of life sometimes sucks but I love these moments of joy whenever I can get them. Love love love the pics! Keep them coming!
August 9, 20214 yr I don't have the opportunity to post here much anymore, much the delight of many, but please accept my belated congratulations!
August 11, 20214 yr Here’s one of my faves. We had professional newborn photos taken that we just got back but for some reason this one steals my heart ❤️
