So.. I'm a dad.
The birth was quick. The aftermath.. not so much.
My wife got a spinal headache, and we had to stay in the observationunit for a week. Then, after two good days at home, she got an infection/blood poisoning. Spiking fever and the works. So, rush to the hospital, where she's stayed since. Norway being what it is, it's free/cheap, but it's still a drain on the both of us.
The kid.. aww.. he's going to be a heart-breaker. He's quiet unless hungry. Unfortunately he's having to suckle the tit of cafeine and antibiotics, but he makes very little fuzz of it all. If we can just get over this hump, I'm pretty sure this is going to be dandy. And he's very attractive young boy. nine pounds when he came out, and then ten by day 11. Attractive and big.
