First 3 months with the kiddos

[jedijason1138]

I have to give credit for those folks who said that having kids was the best thing that happened to them. I certainly agree with that. My 2 boys are the greatest. It has been work, but I never regret them being in my life.

Daniel, or as we call him, Big D, is a tank. He's growing fast and is doing really good. We call him Big D because he is so much bigger than his brother. He's a slow eater, but he's started smiling and figuring out his hands and the environment. The doctor said his tone was low: he was having trouble holding his head up in a good position. He's doing better with that.

Ian is our little guy. He's probably 2 pounds less than Daniel now. He had grown, but he's had some setbacks. First, he developed reflux. We had to give him medicine, it didn't work, then tried another couple of things and he's doing better. He was born with a hemangioma on his back. It looks like a raised red birthmark. It wasn't supposed to be a real problem, but about 3 weeks ago, it started to bleed and now had to be treated everyday. He had a reaction to the medicine he was on to slow the growth, so we took him off of it. We find out tomorrow what we need to do to make him more comfortable, because he can't even lay on it without experiencing pain.

My wife and I have had to sleep in a recliner with Ian on our stomachs so he wouldn't have to lay on his back. This isn't the best solution, because of SIDS, but we're trying to play it safe.

In total, I have dropped both boys at least once. I fell asleep while holding Daniel and a loud thud woke me up. Next thing I know, Daniel is face down with a little rug burn on his head. I felt awful. Then, I fell asleep in the recliner with Ian and didn't put the foot rest out. I heard a thud and he was on the floor. I read that people drop their babies all the time and with more dramatic experiences, but still it's something I hate being responsible for.

I just thought I would share some of my experiences over the last month. The wife and I are trying to get our relationship ironed out, but the boys make it worth the effort.

Kids are pretty resilient. Mine is 2 and I've lost count of how many times she's landed on her head, tough little bugger. I'm hoping for the best for you, the kids and the family.

[Strikefoil]

I dont have patience for kids. All my friends have kids. I dont think I could handle them.

[rosemaster]

Hang in there, Jason. Kids are great and worth all the effort. I used to have to spend time on the recliner with my daughter on my stomach. She had colic and holding her like that was the only thing that would calm her down. But she grew out of it, as they all do, and now she has four kids of her own.

[dyetye]

Ah, my first child had colic and it was the hardest thing I've ever dealt with, but as with everything else it passes. Kids are great, but after our third arrives in January, I am going under the knife!

Our son, when he was 6 months old was sleeping in our bed and somehow wiggled his way by my feet. I accidentally kicked him off the bed. Didn't hurt him, but it scared the shit out of my wife and I. Wait until they are 4, you'll want to kill them.

[mizzoujedi]

It wasn't until recently I fully understood the meaning behind "Quit crying or I'll give you something to cry about."

[dyetye]

Wait until they are 4, you'll want to kill them.

Yes, and it doesn't stop once they get a little older either

[Strikefoil]

I hope you guys wouldnt let your kids run wild in a retail store and do whatever they want.

[lordstimpy]

I hope you guys wouldnt let your kids run wild in a retail store and do whatever they want.

Just where you work.

I'm gonna adopt a bakers dozen of bi-racial, non-English speaking rug rats, who can't use a debit/credit card machine, and turn them loose in your store.

dont forget, they gotta be covered in tattoos and have long flowing mullets!

Wait until they're teenagers. Then you'll really want to kill them. Fortunately, the law has no sympathy for the parents of teenagers so you won't and they will grow out of it -- eventually. LOL

[rosemaster]

Since our daughter was a teenager I have been convinced teenagers driving their parents crazy is all part of Mother Nature's plan to prepare us to let them move out (and the sooner the better). It's a plan that really works great most of the time.

[Strikefoil]

Most of the time? Your pulling my leg right? They drive you nuts at any age.

[Bane]

Strike, do you have kids?

[Strikefoil]

Scroll up and that should answer your question. Here's your sign.

[Bane]

I knew you didn't have kids. It was a rhetorical question, Farley. No woman in her right mind would ever breed with a inbred moron like yourself.

Until you do have kids...shut the fuck up.

There's your sign.

[dyetye]

Until you do have kids...shut the fuck up.

agreed

[StarFish]

And slathered head to toe in BBQ sauce!!!!

[MVader]

of course you would have to find a non-mudblood female willing to spread her legs for you , that didnt cost by the hour, that would be willing to breed your little arayans for you............................................Jas on glad to hear the babies are doing good, and it is well worth the stress and hectic pace, that they set forth,lol....if you think dropping them is bad, wait until they climb up on a bunk bed or a loft bed, with a batman cape and superman shirt on, and think that they can fly....or use the toy Indy Jones whip,and think they can latch onto the ceiling fan and swing across the bedroom to the dresser.....ahhhhh good times......

[StarFish]

First... Congratulations Jason. Glad you are enjoying fatherhood so far. You've got some great times ahead of you for sure!

of course you would have to find a non-mudblood

+ for the HP reference.



Let's see strike. You've managed to offend:

Foreigners
Gays
Women
People who like kids
People who like BBQ
People with Tatoos
People who date outside their race
People who like Beavis and Butthead
...and people who like apostrophes

I think I know someone you would like though...

[RollaJedi]

wait a damn minute! Mel Gibson IS strikefoil!!! Holy shit! We have Mad Fucking Max posting here!!!! THE lethal weapon!

Funniest part of your whole post.

Isn't that the truth. I used to say teenagers were the cure for the Empty Nest Syndrome. And these days your kids stay and stay and stay. Or move back in. With their kids. By the time they're out of the house for good you're ready for retirement. And you need it. LOL

[MVader]

lmao Greg, Mel Gibson, well he hasnt offended the jews yet.....or druish people either

[Uliah]

wait until they climb up on a bunk bed or a loft bed, with a batman cape and superman shirt on, and think that they can fly....or use the toy Indy Jones whip,and think they can latch onto the ceiling fan and swing across the bedroom to the dresser.....ahhhhh good times......

lmao. Reminds me of the time when my oldest son jumped through a skylight.

[RollaJedi]

my younger son somehow broke a toilet completely in half (the tank!) and brought the hole shower curtain and rod down too. we still dont know what the hell he was doing that night, and he wont tell us.

[Strikefoil]

Well for starters I am not an inbred moron. And I thought I had problems sheesh.

[Bane]

You may not be an inbred, but you are definitely a moron, and you DEFINTELY have problems.
