Yep I'm freaking out and everybody's just talking about oh gosh money and liability and diapers. What about celebrating this new beautiful baby girls life? Nobody seems to be wanting to do that. I text my dad what her name was going to be and he just seem to make a joke and criticize the spelling of her first name, I'm just like I don't care you fucking spell it, my ex-wife wanted to put a y in Daryk, how can I fucking complain about a name. Just hope mother and baby are safe and I'm happy that my son's ex-girlfriend still keeps in touch with me and told me all these details about her mucus plug and her water breaking and the fact that she's probably going to be having a baby soon dilated at 4
So since nobody else seems excited, maybe lemmy can be excited with me. I know it's a pretty unusual situation, but I am all alone in the house and I don't want to bother the mother who's about to give birth hell she's probably at 5 now. I am so tired I want to go to sleep but this baby's probably going to be crowning before long. Sorry if this is not casual conversation but I don't have anywhere else to fucking vent bro like thank you fediverse
Oh, oh! The mom's in labor! Yeah, shit. Ignore my other comment until the bub's here and be supportive. It's a beautiful thing.
All the mess of paternity tests and the burdens of caring for a baby can wait a few days, lol.
