Fred,
Congratulations on the birth of your son!!! Although you can't help but
be scared and concerned, things will get easier.
You sound alot like I was when Lauren was born. We had tried so hard NOT
to have these kids yet that when people around the hospital started
congratulating me, I wasn't sure I wanted to be congratulated. The first
time I went to the NICU I stared at her and cried. Eventually, however,
I became more comfortable with her appearance, including all the tubes,
wires, etc. By time Rachel and Emily were born (3 1/2 days later) I was
a proud papa, although I was still scared.
Hang in there. Keep us posted on James, someone here has probably been
through similiar experiences and can offer advice.
John - father of 3 little darlings - Lauren, Rachel, & Emily
