Ratar_Killer Baby Update *Updated

So, as most of you know, Mrs.RK is now 41 weeks preggers.

She is large and in charge, and we both cant wait for our lastest edition to the clan.

This is the last week before we go the induction route.

ETA is, if a no show this week, induction on Dec 18 and a brand new baby girl on the 18th or 19th.

Most of my off time now is filled with taking stress of my wife.
i.e. cooking, cleaning, laundry, taking care of our daughter, and rubbing of the back and feet.

I'll keep you all updated.

P.S. the baby estimated weight right now is 8.9lbs so we figure something like a 9.5lb baby if we wait until the 18th

Great news Ratar, congrats, and keep us updated!!!

awww you're going to have a little ratar puppy running around the house

congrats!

Fixed.

Kudos, Ratar!

Sounds like you're doing a great job, good luck with the induction (if it comes to that) If they induce her, will you all be back home by Christmas? I'm not exactly sure what they do for inductions.

Can't wait for the next update.

B_B

Did you NOT do what we told you to do to speed up that process??? LOL J/K

Thanks for the update Ratar! I can't wait, I'm so excited for you... if they induce her, be prepared to wait around awhile lol...but seeing as how the baby is bigger maybe they will take her by C-section, then it would be over quick but the wife would be in the hospital atleast 5 days. Either way let us know how it goes and Good Luck!!!

P.S.
We want pics!!!

Oh, I bet your just a ball of nervs..

First rule about holding a baby...

Spit Happens! So be prepared.

Happy for you, just don't envy you. I dont think I'm the father type. At least, I dont want to find out the hard way.

Oh, and when it's time to swaddle the little cuttie, trust me, wrap her up like you would a sub but leave one end open (preferably the head end!). I was scared to death to hold my son when he was born, as his head could rest on the end of my middle finger and his "tail" was on the heel of my hand, but the nurse was so inept at wrapping him up to keep warm that I took over and poof, warm and snug and no squirmin'! (now he's bigger than me and can wrap me up.)

Nice!

My wife isn't due until April, but I can't wait.

Congratulations and keep us posted!

I was going to say if your not ready dont do it, but you can never really be ready. That said I was 32 when my first daughter was born and was scared to death, but the bonuses of fatherhood are amazing.

I never knew my capacity for love could grow so much so fast and cant wait for that to happen all over again.

But if your sure you dont want kids then seriously, DONT DO IT. Have fun messing up your own life. >

That sounds like something you'd find on a hallmark card...
