(sorry OP. But also this secondary discussion keeps your thread alive)
@Deano88 : Have kids when you're over 25 (over 30 is even better). Get your party / drug days behind you. Meet, date and fuck lots of different people (as safe as possible). When you meet that person who makes you melt, who you want to grow old with, then its THE ONE, a keeper. And if possible, stay together for 1~3 years before having a child. One is enough, two max.
@Chicken_Nipples: Even thou my tool wasn't working. We'd cuddle, we'd make out... and do the best we can. My feelings for her didn't drop. Also, sleeping naked helps - and we do that most nights. Going out on dates, helped too. Allows us to think more about each other - than the baby. Even out drinking and dancing - "baby" will come into your head "Is she sleeping well?" etc.
Congrats! I was NOT wanting a baby, but I love my woman and its the only baby we'll ever have (I'm too old for this shit). I went to every doc visit, took classes, never left the hospital, etc. Seeing your child for the first time - is AMAZING, but very stressful. She's past newborn, this is when things start happening fast. By the time she is about 12, you'll notice almost something new every day. A little stronger, a little better motor skill, problem solving, etc. When she calls you "dada" the first time will hit your heart. And when she HUGS you, for real - she'll have you wrapped around her finger. Crawling is cute. Record it as much as you can, you'll have a few months before walking.
Walking - then when the game changes. Nothing is safe. Now her hands are free to grab things, to climb. But trying to eat anything off the floor starts to go down (because her eye level is different). Temper tantrums suck. You also know, that you are capable of killing another human being to protect your baby. Also, remember the odd yet cool thing of seeing the baby move, the sonograms, etc.
Make arrangements to go out... like a couple. Twice a month. No phones or FB (other than EMG calls), not hanging out with friends at a club. Go to a NEW club or whatever so that YOU are both talking to each others, NOT friends. Go to bed naked, cuddle. Kiss, make out. Also, she may not feel so sexy. The birth weight and other normal things from having a baby. Work out at the gym, etc. Being healthy = being their for your child.
