Little guy and his mom are doing well after the birth yesterday. He came out at 3,6 kg / 7 pounds and is fully healthy.
hes not kidding on the 'support after birth'
she just gave birth to another human. either naturally or c-section, she will need her rest. Lots of it. I feel I was released too early when having both of my daughters, however that does without saying, I strongly encourage you to TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FAMILY. As rude as that sounds, let them watch the baby. Let them bring over food and whatever they offer. Unless they try to take your kid and you're not okay, then definitely put your foot down.
My first daughter is considered a 'rainbow' child. So naturally, I had to put in extra effort to grow attached to her. My spouse worked 12hour shifts so I was alone most of the time. there was a time I was awake for over 36hours (i counted) and I still dont know how I did it. Im glad I had my sisters and my mum there to help me so I could bathe, sleep, and eat. After having my second daughter (and hopefully last child for a while), I found it was alot easier for me to grow attached and get used to the cycle. You'd be surprised how easy it is to forget to take care of yourself and how much you missed spending time with your spouse/partner.
We're here for you, just send me a quick DM if you need anything! Congrats again on your little boy! Cant wait to see photos (if any) of the little one :)

I'm happy for you bro! and watch her mental health, I hope it doesn't happen but most women get weird at one point or another... it's normal and they need a LOT of support after birth
