This is a bit of a rant, and a bit of happiness.
First off the happiness. I present to you the most beautiful baby girl in the world. Freya
She is not mine by blood but I don't think that is going to matter much.
Now on to the part about people sucking.....
Yesterday morning I got a text from my wife Katie telling me that my girlfriend Amber has gone into labor. She was already on the way to the hospital and of course I was not far behind. We knew it was coming after a false alarm on Saturday.
When I got there Amber was int he middle of a contraction. Her parents were there, along with a family friend and her fiance who is also the father of the baby. I have never liked this guy much but had always tried to do my best to just grit my teeth and act like I can get along with him. That was till he made the comment that he was glad to support Amber and the baby financially but he really didn't want to be a father.
When I got there my wife was holding Amber's hand as she went through her contractions, and Amber's fiance was laying in the corner sleeping. Amber didn't want an epidural so she was in a lot of pain. I really felt like he should be there next to her no matter how tired he is. So throughout the rest of the day my wife and I stayed with Amber while her fiance complained about how tired he was. Her parents, family friend and him also seemed to make everything about them. They had driven down here. They had taken the time. They were lacking sleep. They were taking off work. I swear at one point I was ready to start throwing people out the window.
It all came to a head when Amber decided to get am Epidural. The family friend who is also a CNA stood there while amber was crying and trying to talk to the nurse and was talking over amber telling her how it was a bad idea since "when she had her baby she didn't need an epidural" I may have lost my temper at this point and told her to sit down and shut up. The nurse just looked at me and smiled then went back to talking to amber.
While they were doing the epidural Katie and I talked for a while and we decided to talk to Amber about moving in with us instead of going back to her previous living situation. Once she was coherent again we kicked everyone else out and had a heart to heart with her. Her and Freya are moving in once they have a chance to get everything gathered up.
So looks like I am going to have a baby in the house. I have never wanted children to be around my house. However I find myself changing my mind and will be spending the next day or two getting the house ready.
