As a dad myself, dudes who willingly deny themselves being in the presence of the miracle of childbirth let alone being there for the entirety of what comes after baffles me.
Right? I was determined to be there despite running on maybe two or three hours of sleep over three days. Our boiler had gone out and it was December so I was running back and forth between the hospital and home to fix the boiler and keep the pipes from freezing so we would have a warm house when we came home.
I was so tired I literally was micro napping between contractions. The nurses were laughing at me, but I was awake and holding her hand at the next one.
