I was picking Rory up from the hospital bassinet to hand him to Mama. It was next to the bed and I am still having an awkward time picking him up from a laying position. My wife snapped at me saying I was gonna drop him. I kept trying to tell her I was being very careful, but she insisted I was doing a terrible job picking him up and was gonna drop him. She then said something about his face being smothered (we are swaddling him). <br />I handed him to her and stomped away. I felt like I was being accused of almost dropping and trying to smother our baby, and it really hurt that she thought I could be so careless and stupid.<br />I was silent for the next few minutes, trying to keep from getting more emotional. Keep in mind we are both operating under a minimum of sleep (although I have to admit I've slept better than her between feedings), and it's starting to catch up with us. She told me she didn't really mean to accuse me of anything and that if she snapped at me, it was because she's had so little sleep.<br />How do we deal with that feeling that our partners are accusing of us of being bad daddies?]]></description></item><item><title>Welcome Rory Morrison!

He's fine, Mama's fine, and we've had a lot of visitors. My "good night's sleep" has already been reduced to "power naps" between feedings. He was about 3 weeks early, but considered full-term. He's a real cutie. Looks like a perfect mix of Mama and Daddy's features.]]></description></item><item><title>Super freaked out 20 years old someone please help (05-25-2012 13:14:26)</title><author>Ugh23</author><link>http://www.brandnewdad.com/forums/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&amp;TOPIC_ID=4563&amp;REPLY_ID=14244</link><ttl>10</ttl><pubDate>Fri, 25 May 2012 13:14:26 +0100</pubDate><description><![CDATA[ There are 9 replies, with the last one on 05/25/2012 at 13:14:26 by Ugh23]]></description></item><item><title>First Child, found out on Mother's Day!

Half of it was obscured by the bottom of screen, and I thought it said "Style For Your BLIMP." I thought, "That's horrible! Who would call their pregnant wife a blimp??" Then I saw that it actually said "BUMP."]]></description></item><item><title>Ultrasound every month (05-15-2012 17:23:50)</title><author>GypsyDavid</author><link>http://www.brandnewdad.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4642</link><ttl>10</ttl><pubDate>Tue, 15 May 2012 17:23:50 +0100</pubDate><description><![CDATA[ Because of my wife's high-risk status, we've been getting an ultrasound every month, which is nice for getting to see how our baby is progressing, but my big thing about it is -- so often I can't really tell what it is I'm looking at and what I'm supposed to be seeing. I'm embarrassed to ask the technician, for fear of sounding stupid, and also because I don't want to interrupt. My other thing is that it's frustrating when my wife has gone for an ultrasound (I can't always be there because of work) and says "We couldn't really see anything, he was hiding, etc." and all the picture print outs are obscure blobs.<br /><br />We are in for a surprise, because in all the 3/4-D ultrasounds we've seen, his face is partially hidden. So I guess some things are worth waiting for.]]></description></item><item><title>Music...

Expecting our first child, a boy, and he's coming in just a few weeks. I feel like I have about six months of work to do in one to get the house ready for a baby. I'm starting to get in a big panic. According to our original calculations we're about 35 weeks along, but he seems to be 2-3 weeks ahead of schedule growth-wise. I really thought we'd have this house ready by now. But we still have junk in the nursery, holes that need patched, and painting to do. And that's before I can put the crib together, etc. My wife is a high-risk pregnancy, diabetic, and has chronic pain issues, so she can't really help, no matter how much she wants to. I guess I just want to vent, but if anyone who's been in this situation can provide some perspective, that would be great...]]></description></item><item><title>Beautiful...
