Gunna enjoy my last evening of piece and quiet. Been a long 9 months and couldn’t be more excited… Now what to play?

(There’s WiFi, just haven’t connected to it yet)

    Takes me back to when my first kid was born. Steam Deck didn’t exist 13 years ago… I was in the hospital room w/ my wife and a laptop playing Terraria and Portal until my son arrived. Fun times.

    Congrats and good luck, OP!!

      Its true, him having his deck out got him into this situation in the first place.

      Second this. It is a great time to be present in the moment reflect on the change coming, and just be with your partner, keep them hydrated. Nap when she naps, you will need it in the next 36 hours. My wife was in labor for nearly 36 hours. Any time I had for gaming was best used spending time with my wife making sure she was comfy, massage if needed or napping.

      He’s not going to have time to touch it again for months, let him get some time in while he can.

      Even if she allowed him to on it… What she is about to go through deserves his un divided attention. Come on op put that thing away. I also reccomend getting as much sleep now as you can as you will regret it if you don’t. Don’t waste time gaming.

        You know how long a scheduled induction takes? Unless they showed up for a c-section or she’s in active labor he’s gonna have mad time on his hands. Source: I work in labor and delivery

      I genuinely don’t know who would put up with a dude gaming while they’re in labor. My wife would have been so pissed. Even though you aren’t giving birth you should be there to at least hold their hand. It’s a big event for both of you, be present OP and don’t be selfish!

    Now you start playing casual games that you can finish fast or don’t demand lots of uninterrupted time hahaha

    My husband brought his Oculus when I was having our third baby. I wasn’t bothered by it. Lots of downtime between getting to the hospital and delivery usually. Enjoy your baby! Witcher 3 is my favorite game, so I say that one.

      An actual woman saying she didn’t mind her husband gaming while in labor, and you get downvoted. Lighten up people.

      ahh nice! I recently just finished the main game, but i really do wanna play the DLC.
      Yeah i think people are forgetting that a lot of the time is spent just hanging about and waiting, so its good to have a time waster.

      Nah man, everyone says this but it isn’t true for a lot of parents. The first few weeks are like being stuck in a dream. You have no concept of time because you are waking up so much for feeding and comforting. But by 4-6 months, most kids are sleeping through the night. And they sleep a lot more than adults.

      So at 6 months, you are likely to be getting as much sleep as ever, unless you are the mom and breastfeeding, then you might have to wake up to pump.

      Also, don’t co-sleep. It is ruining your sleep and theirs. Put them in a crib, and move them out of your room once they start sleeping through the night.

      It really depends on the baby. My first baby cried almost 24/7, but my second baby slept almost 24/7.

      The first year is so fun tho. As long as you don’t coddle and cosleep, baby’s first year is probably my favorite with my kiddo.
