Thursday morning my wife started getting contractions so while i was waking up she managed to clean the entire house before she decided it was time to go to the hospital.

The birth was probably the most horrific thing I have ever experienced. 0 meds to kill the pain my wife pushed and screamed her way through the birth. The baby was having trouble coming out. With the doc at the important end and a nurse practically on top of my wife pushing her stomach like she's giving cpr it was not a nice thing to watch, especially as i'd since been moved from 'head stroker/hand crusher' to further away to give room for all the 'tools'.

We stayed the night which was super uncomfortable on a crappy faux leather couch that bare skin sticks to (the wife got a bed of course) and 2 hour routine nurse visits didn't help.

I followed the baby to the nursery while the wife recovered. The nurse later told my wife that the baby didn't cry at all but the husband coudn't stop. (bloody grass)
