CA2OR Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Just thought I would share some pic's of the birth of my son. Promised the wife not to share any crazy, nasty, or embaracing pic's so I will just stick to the baby.

albertareef Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Congratulations Eric! I'm glad to hear that everyone is doing well (albeit tired). Hope you enjoy your time as a new parent - of kids instead of fish for a change! Welcome back... Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 yeah. Tank is going to...well you can guess. Only had one week off work to spend with him, but I am hoping to take some more time here pretty soon. I had just added my new fish the day before we had baby. Was nervous about that until I saw his face for the first time. Will be trying to keep tank up and running without neglecting him, but if push comes to shove I will be selling almost all of my corals. Keeping fish is easy, corals take more time and effort that I may not have. So far it has been no problem though. Let's hope it stays like that.

CA2OR Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 thank you all. Tell me about it, he already out grew what we brought him home in. And yes, we have a new reefer in town. Thinking of setting up a little nano in his room, when he gets a little older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishmanmike01 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Congrats Eric He looks great.Now comes the sleep deprivation,Enjoy it though they only stay babies for what seems like a blink of an eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 Thank you Mike, so far it has really only been my wife with the sleep deprivation, mostly becuase she doesn't like to pump, and doesn't want to use formula, so with that being said I can't feed so I don't have to get up.....Yet.

dsoz Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 You should at least change the diaper before throwing him to mom for the night-time feedings. It is only fair. Congrats! When you want to sell off the high maintenance corals, let me know so I can get second dibbs (after snowpunk, of course). dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 lol....just for the record. I have changed almost all of the diapers. I try to give her as many breaks as possible. But she still does the feeding which is the most common so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Algae Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 That has got to be the cutest baby and the homeliest mother I have ever seen. Oh wait.... That's you, Eric. sorry. The nervousness goes away quickly after the birth. CONGRATS! It is the most important thing (and most rewarding) that you will ever do. I can give you some hints on child-proofing your nano (basically using aircraft wire, turnbuckles, and lag bolts). Enjoy the experience!

CA2OR Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 wow this guy grows fast....sure wish my corals grew this quick. He is 11 days old now, and he no longer fits the cloths he came home in, no to mention that he is drinking\eating twice as much per sitting than he was just 5 days ago. Everyone is telling me he looks just like me but I don't really see it. Do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
