WEBVTT - Baby Brady 

0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:04.960
<v Speaker 1>Hell I Suck at Dating with Dengler Dared Haven and

0:00:05.080 --> 0:00:11.080
<v Speaker 1>I heard radio podcast What's Up? Everyone, Welcome to a

0:00:11.200 --> 0:00:15.360
<v Speaker 1>very special bonus episode of Help I Suck At Dating?

0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:17.439
<v Speaker 1>And now you might be asking yourself, why is this

0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:20.560
<v Speaker 1>a bonus episode? What's so bonus about it? Well, I'll

0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:24.120
<v Speaker 1>tell you what's so bonus about it. It's a big day,

0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:28.319
<v Speaker 1>big day for the Haven household because today is the

0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:32.239
<v Speaker 1>day that Tom Brady retired. So so, Jared, how do

0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:34.640
<v Speaker 1>you feel about the Tom I'm just kidding. We don't

0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:37.640
<v Speaker 1>care about Tom Brady retiring. What we really care about

0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Jared Phillis in on the New Life update. Come on, well,

0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:43.839
<v Speaker 1>of course Ashley just gave birth, but also Tom retired,

0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:45.879
<v Speaker 1>which is very sad, unbelievable. Hold on, I do have

0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:50.080
<v Speaker 1>to say he he retires literally the day after my

0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:52.360
<v Speaker 1>son is born, which is why we added the name

0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Brady because his name was initially Dawson Dmitri Haven And

0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:58.640
<v Speaker 1>everybody's like, oh, you're not gonna name him Tom or

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Brady and we're like, no, I might be too much,

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:02.480
<v Speaker 1>too on the nose. Blatah blahdah blah. Then the news

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:05.399
<v Speaker 1>came out Saturday that Tom was going to retire, and

0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:07.319
<v Speaker 1>even though it wasn't official, it felt like it was

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:09.319
<v Speaker 1>only days away before he finally announced it, and I

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 1>was like, Damn, Ashley and I both were like, maybe

0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:14.640
<v Speaker 1>we should have Brady in there, Like we love this

0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:17.880
<v Speaker 1>guy so much, you know, it's so us to name,

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:20.680
<v Speaker 1>like have Brady in there. We were thinking, like, we

0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:22.759
<v Speaker 1>still like Dawson Dmitri, so we don't want to take

0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 1>that away. Is it weird to have him Dawson Dmitri

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:27.039
<v Speaker 1>Brady have been because he's still gonna go by Dawson

0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Dmitri more than anything. And then we were looking it

0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:31.959
<v Speaker 1>up and it's much more common than you think to

0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:34.000
<v Speaker 1>have four names. So we were like, screw it, like

0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:36.959
<v Speaker 1>we're going to regret it. We love Tom Brady, so

0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:39.119
<v Speaker 1>screw it. So we put the name Brady in there.

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:41.839
<v Speaker 1>I like to think that it was like Tom Brady

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:44.200
<v Speaker 1>almost knew that Dawson was just born. He's like, you

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 1>know what, it's my time. My time has come. The

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 1>throne will be passed once this young man grows to

0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:52.760
<v Speaker 1>be of age and I can finally say my piece

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:55.320
<v Speaker 1>and get out of here. A thousand percent of somebody

0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 1>texted me and said, I think. Uh. Like he was like,

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 1>I think God just wanted to give you the joy

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 1>of having a son before giving you the trauma that

0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 1>is Tom Brady retiring, right right, Because it's Tom Brady retired,

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 1>you'd be so upset, but you can't be upset because

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:10.960
<v Speaker 1>you just had a brand new baby boy. Um no,

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>and it's it's awesome. So yeah, Ashley wooked me up

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Monday morning yesterday at like a little after one, and

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 1>she's like, I think I'm having contractions, and I was like,

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:25.760
<v Speaker 1>all right. She's like, I'm gonna give it a couple

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.079
<v Speaker 1>of minutes because they feel like period cramps, but they're

0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:30.960
<v Speaker 1>pretty intense, and she's like, I have this, and so

0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 1>she's like, I'm just gonna give it another minute or so,

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 1>because they've been happening every what feels like ten minutes.

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:37.640
<v Speaker 1>And so another ten minutes goes by and she's like,

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 1>it's happening again, and so we're like, let's just go

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:42.079
<v Speaker 1>to the hospital, because of course we want to get there.

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:44.639
<v Speaker 1>So we called everybody then we needed a call, went

0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:47.760
<v Speaker 1>to the hospital, and thank god we did, because you know,

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:49.640
<v Speaker 1>of course they found out that she was an active

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.799
<v Speaker 1>labor and and the contraction started getting a lot worse,

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:55.919
<v Speaker 1>but we were able to get there in time. She

0:02:56.000 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 1>got the upper dural, thank god, because she was progressing

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 1>so fast that the doctor said, had she been there

0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 1>an hour later, she probably wouldn't have had time for

0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.600
<v Speaker 1>an eper. Darl and Ashley would have flipped or lid.

0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:12.640
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, you know when we got to the hospital.

0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:14.799
<v Speaker 1>It's so weird though, because every time you watch a movie,

0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:17.920
<v Speaker 1>it's like the woman is rushing into the hospital in

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.760
<v Speaker 1>the wheelchair and they're like, you know, even me, I

0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:22.639
<v Speaker 1>walked in the hospital, I was like, hey, my wife's

0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.680
<v Speaker 1>in labor, like almost expecting them to hit like a

0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:31.200
<v Speaker 1>red button and did like alert alert like um. But

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 1>there he was like, yeah, okay, go checking out the

0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:35.960
<v Speaker 1>front desk and I was like okay, and I was like,

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:39.440
<v Speaker 1>did I mention my wife's in labor and um, so

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 1>of course, I mean they worked as fast as they can,

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:43.040
<v Speaker 1>but we're still at the front desk for like ten

0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:46.040
<v Speaker 1>fifteen minutes, like going over health insurance. And meanwhile, like

0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:48.160
<v Speaker 1>I could tell Ashley like every few minutes is getting

0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:51.040
<v Speaker 1>a contraction because she's wincing, and I'm like, this is

0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 1>not how I thought it was gonna play out. We

0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 1>finally got in the doctor's room and they checked her

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 1>and she was about five centiments dilated. Sorry, my dogs

0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 1>are freaking out, um, but she was five centimeters dilated

0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.800
<v Speaker 1>and she was having contractions every four or five minutes,

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:10.320
<v Speaker 1>which is fast, especially for a first baby. She began

0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 1>to be an active labor labor probably a little before

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:16.159
<v Speaker 1>two am, and we get you know, she gave birth

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:19.120
<v Speaker 1>at ten one am to Dawson, so she was only

0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:21.320
<v Speaker 1>in labor for about eight hours, which is fast because

0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:23.360
<v Speaker 1>usually they say you you should plan on for like

0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.600
<v Speaker 1>eighteen to twenty four hours for your first kid. I

0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 1>was gonna say I didn't based off a very limited information,

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.320
<v Speaker 1>but just judging by your Instagram story and then like

0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 1>the follow up stories and posted all that kind of stuff,

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.880
<v Speaker 1>I was like that, it seemed like gonna happen pretty quickly. Yeah,

0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:39.200
<v Speaker 1>and uh, it was insane because you know, after she

0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:40.960
<v Speaker 1>got the emperdul, they were like, Okay, we'll check up

0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 1>on you in a couple of hours or in an

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:46.000
<v Speaker 1>hour or so and make sure that you're okay and comfortable.

0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:48.040
<v Speaker 1>If you need anything, bring this blah blah blah blah blah,

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 1>and so she's laying there and like fifteen minutes goes

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:54.960
<v Speaker 1>by and she's like, I feel like I need to poop.

0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.560
<v Speaker 1>And that's the first sign that you're ready to push.

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 1>It's so weird, but as a woman, a sign to

0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:02.800
<v Speaker 1>know that, like, hey, you're ready to start pushing is

0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:06.160
<v Speaker 1>you have this feeling like you have to go poop constantly.

0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:08.840
<v Speaker 1>And so she was like, maybe it's passing. I'll let

0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:11.359
<v Speaker 1>it go, and it was consistent for about ten fifteen minutes.

0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:13.479
<v Speaker 1>She's like, no, that feeling hasn't gone away. So the

0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 1>doctor came back in. They were like yeah, So they

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.880
<v Speaker 1>tried pushing for a couple minutes um, but then the

0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:21.040
<v Speaker 1>baby wasn't in the right position, so they needed for

0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.200
<v Speaker 1>like forty five minutes. She needed to do some maneuvers

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.640
<v Speaker 1>on the bed, like she was doing some yoga poses

0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that you know, Dawson's head was as

0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:32.520
<v Speaker 1>close to the southern border as possible and um, and

0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:34.680
<v Speaker 1>then we started pushing again and she pushed for about

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 1>an hour and a half before Dawson entered this world.

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:41.039
<v Speaker 1>And Okay, so when you said five centimeters dilated or

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.279
<v Speaker 1>millimeters however money it was, does that not mean that

0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.719
<v Speaker 1>his head is five meters millimeters poking out of the

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.680
<v Speaker 1>So you so a woman needs to be that's awesome.

0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Trust me, I didn't know these answers either. I figured

0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.600
<v Speaker 1>five five millimeters dial it and meant that he was

0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:57.480
<v Speaker 1>like crowning at five millimeters or I don't know. No,

0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:02.120
<v Speaker 1>So her well, I mean that's her vagina needs to

0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:04.599
<v Speaker 1>be able to open a certain amount of centimeters in

0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:08.680
<v Speaker 1>order the baby come out safely, and that number apparently

0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:12.720
<v Speaker 1>is ten centimeters. So she, uh, they needed to wait

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.840
<v Speaker 1>until she was dilated till tense centimeters before they could

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 1>start pushing, and it wasn't that bad. She you know,

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:19.680
<v Speaker 1>like we said, we got to the hospital a little

0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:22.720
<v Speaker 1>bit before two am, and she was dilated tense centimeters

0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:25.119
<v Speaker 1>about seven am, so that's when we started pushing. Pretty

0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:26.800
<v Speaker 1>nice to be able to drive to the hospital at

0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:28.960
<v Speaker 1>that time because the road is probably clear, you're just

0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.239
<v Speaker 1>confined down the road. We got there in like twenty

0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:35.320
<v Speaker 1>five minutes, smooth sailing, and uh, as you know, as

0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:38.039
<v Speaker 1>the guy, it's just more I'm I'm just you know.

0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:39.919
<v Speaker 1>I was right there though when she started pushing, I

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:42.920
<v Speaker 1>had a foot and so I was holding her foot

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:46.600
<v Speaker 1>and pushing her leg back, and it's it's it's so

0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:50.159
<v Speaker 1>much more um, you know, knock on Wood went so smoothly.

0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:52.000
<v Speaker 1>It's so much more calm than you'd think, because it's

0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 1>just you know, you're just there and she's pushing and

0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:56.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm holding a foot, and the you know, the doctors

0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.039
<v Speaker 1>at the end, you know, just doing whatever that she

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:02.640
<v Speaker 1>needs to do down there, and and you know they're

0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:04.560
<v Speaker 1>not really hiding much. You know, they always say like,

0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 1>don't look underneath the curtain. There is really no curtain.

0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:11.000
<v Speaker 1>It's just like all out there. Um. And so I

0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 1>ended up, you know, as we've talked about on this

0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:17.800
<v Speaker 1>podcast before, my stories about passing out in movies, I

0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:19.800
<v Speaker 1>was thinking, oh god, am I gonna faint right now?

0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:23.400
<v Speaker 1>But I looked and I was fine. It wasn't. I

0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:25.640
<v Speaker 1>didn't find a gross at all. Um. The only time

0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:27.720
<v Speaker 1>I found a gross was when T M I. But

0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, I could see the doctor's hands, which of

0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:34.239
<v Speaker 1>course they were scrubbed up and glubbed up, covered in blood.

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:39.400
<v Speaker 1>And that's when you're like, like, that's crazy. It just

0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.720
<v Speaker 1>looked like, you know, they stabbed someone. And um, I

0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:47.880
<v Speaker 1>will say it was pretty crazy when you know, they're

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:49.960
<v Speaker 1>telling you that the heads popping out, and I can see,

0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:53.120
<v Speaker 1>like I'm looking at Ashley while she's pushing, and like,

0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:55.960
<v Speaker 1>out of my peripheral I can see like the head

0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 1>just sliding out. I'm like, holy sh that's the head

0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:05.040
<v Speaker 1>of my son. Um and uh and then he came

0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:08.800
<v Speaker 1>out and it was just like, now there's a baby.

0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.720
<v Speaker 1>There's a baby in this world. And uh, it was

0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:15.440
<v Speaker 1>weird because full disclosure, you know, so many times as

0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:17.120
<v Speaker 1>we talked about this podcast, especially as a guy, I

0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:20.000
<v Speaker 1>have been so detached that I was almost waiting for

0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:24.320
<v Speaker 1>this overwhelming moment of just unconditional love to just weigh

0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:27.480
<v Speaker 1>over me. And that didn't happen. You know, of course

0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 1>I got emotional and it was my son, and like,

0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:32.080
<v Speaker 1>there's this baby here, and actually just pushed him out,

0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I started getting choked up from being

0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.800
<v Speaker 1>overwhelmed in the moment, but I didn't feel this overwhelming

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:41.080
<v Speaker 1>sense of like, that's my son, I'm his father, and

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.560
<v Speaker 1>it concerned me. I was thinking, oh, no, do I

0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:47.199
<v Speaker 1>have no soul? Am I a bad human being? And

0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:51.160
<v Speaker 1>then uh, you know, of course I start spending more

0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:53.080
<v Speaker 1>time with HIMIM holding him in my arms, and I

0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:57.280
<v Speaker 1>start feeding him, and he's looking at me. And when

0:08:57.280 --> 0:08:59.520
<v Speaker 1>he's looking at me and I'm feeding him the bottle

0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.600
<v Speaker 1>and he's kind of crying or making those little noises

0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:04.680
<v Speaker 1>and like I actually and I were talking about because

0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.080
<v Speaker 1>we just got back to the house and how like

0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:12.320
<v Speaker 1>my love for him has already grown exponentially. Um, and

0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:14.040
<v Speaker 1>I can only imagine what it's going to be like,

0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:17.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, tomorrow or the next day. And uh, it's

0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:32.400
<v Speaker 1>pretty cool. It's uh, it's cool. Did you gonna cut

0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:34.920
<v Speaker 1>the U bilical cord and stuff? I did cut the cord.

0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:36.560
<v Speaker 1>I didn't think I was gonna do it, but the

0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:37.880
<v Speaker 1>doctor was like, you want to cut it? And I

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:39.920
<v Speaker 1>was like, yeah, sure, why not, We're right here. So

0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:41.439
<v Speaker 1>they clipped them up and I got to cut the

0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:45.440
<v Speaker 1>chord and and um, you know, I've I've changed his

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:49.520
<v Speaker 1>diaper twice already, and uh, it's it's it's been good.

0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:51.920
<v Speaker 1>It's uh, you know, he's just this little thing. He

0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:54.040
<v Speaker 1>was born eight pounds four ounces, so he was pretty

0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:57.320
<v Speaker 1>good sized. And he was ten days early. So if

0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Ashley gave birth on her due day, he would have

0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.840
<v Speaker 1>been a monster. Um. So he was born officially what

0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:08.360
<v Speaker 1>January thirty one, January thirty one, at ten one am.

0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:13.080
<v Speaker 1>A little weird story to her. Ashley's mom's birth birthday

0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:17.000
<v Speaker 1>is was yesterday, January thirty one, so Dawson was born

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:20.839
<v Speaker 1>on his grandmother's birthday on his mom's side, and then

0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:25.080
<v Speaker 1>he was born at ten twenty one am. Coincidentally, my

0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:31.360
<v Speaker 1>mom's birthday is October one, so kind of incorporated both grandmas,

0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.679
<v Speaker 1>which was really cool. Isn't his middle name based uh

0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:38.440
<v Speaker 1>off of one of your grandparents names as well? No,

0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:42.520
<v Speaker 1>so his Ashley's dad's name is Dominic and I we

0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:45.640
<v Speaker 1>both loved that name Dominic, but Lauren wants to name

0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:48.000
<v Speaker 1>her child, so that name was out. And then we

0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:50.720
<v Speaker 1>were thinking about D names for some reason, and Dmitri

0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:52.679
<v Speaker 1>came up and that's how we were like, man, we

0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:56.079
<v Speaker 1>really like Dmitri. Dmitri because Ashley has always loved the

0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:59.080
<v Speaker 1>name Demitrius, and she was like, Dawson Demitria. I like

0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:00.679
<v Speaker 1>the sound of that. And that's where de met you

0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:02.640
<v Speaker 1>came from. I mean, hey, there's nothing wrong with the

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:04.320
<v Speaker 1>D name. I think once you name a baby with

0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:08.920
<v Speaker 1>the first letter D, destined for greatness obviously, Um, well, congrats, man,

0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:10.839
<v Speaker 1>we're so excited for you. I can't believe that the

0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:12.839
<v Speaker 1>day is finally here. And if I'm excited, I can

0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:15.839
<v Speaker 1>only imagine how excited you are. Um, how bunch of

0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.120
<v Speaker 1>rest did you guys get when you got home? It

0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.640
<v Speaker 1>wasn't bad last night, So knock on one again. I

0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.600
<v Speaker 1>don't want to jinx anything, but he's been so chill,

0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:27.000
<v Speaker 1>he's been sleeping a lot. He only had really one

0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:33.280
<v Speaker 1>fuss um and it lasted like three minutes. Uh. And

0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.319
<v Speaker 1>he got his first bath this morning. The nurse gave

0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:39.760
<v Speaker 1>him a bath and she was like, oh, he's he's

0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:41.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna cry after this, like he's gonna get a little

0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:44.360
<v Speaker 1>fuss say that I don't like their first bath. He

0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:46.920
<v Speaker 1>was fine, didn't cry at all, went back immediate and

0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:48.679
<v Speaker 1>the crab and fell asleep. And she goes, I've been

0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:50.800
<v Speaker 1>working there for fourteen years. That's probably the second or

0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:52.760
<v Speaker 1>third baby I've ever given a bath too that has

0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:55.160
<v Speaker 1>not cried. That's a good sign. It's a great sign.

0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:58.480
<v Speaker 1>So I hope it continues because he's nothing like his

0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:00.600
<v Speaker 1>mom and dad. Because we're paying in the asses and

0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:03.800
<v Speaker 1>overly emotional. So you guys just got back from the

0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:08.200
<v Speaker 1>hospital like right now, literally five minutes ago. Yeah, okay, Yeah,

0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:09.679
<v Speaker 1>I guess I kind of assumed you guys were like

0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:12.079
<v Speaker 1>running errands or something, but yeah, that makes sense. That typical.

0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you spend two to three days in

0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:16.160
<v Speaker 1>the hospital. Yeah, so we were going to spend two nights,

0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:19.760
<v Speaker 1>but uh, Ashley gave birth so quickly, like we said,

0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:21.319
<v Speaker 1>it was about eight hours. So he was born ten

0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:24.480
<v Speaker 1>thirty yesterday morning, and you know, he had visits with

0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.520
<v Speaker 1>the pediatrician and he uh you know, had the dur

0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:30.680
<v Speaker 1>durses hunt, the doctors and the nurses do all their

0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:34.280
<v Speaker 1>testing and everything looked good and and so Ashley looked

0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.600
<v Speaker 1>good because obviously they didn't make sure that she's okay

0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:40.120
<v Speaker 1>and kept an eye on her and and uh, everything

0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:43.079
<v Speaker 1>went smoothly. And so yesterday they said it's up to you.

0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:44.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, you guys are more than welcome to stay

0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:47.000
<v Speaker 1>two nights if you'd like. But you know, if everything

0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.120
<v Speaker 1>checks out, you'll probably be able to leave, you know,

0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:51.480
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow evening at some point. Why wouldn't you want to

0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:53.079
<v Speaker 1>get home? All right? Well, I know it's only been

0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:56.360
<v Speaker 1>not even thirty six hours since the birth of your firstborn,

0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:59.400
<v Speaker 1>But does this encourage you or discourage you? Guys? To

0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:05.400
<v Speaker 1>have maybe more kids. Uh, it's so weird. I don't

0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:09.880
<v Speaker 1>know it's really going to If if I had to

0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:13.679
<v Speaker 1>lean towards one way, I would say, of course more kids. Um,

0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:16.920
<v Speaker 1>but um, I guess we'll see. How you know, the

0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:19.480
<v Speaker 1>first six months ago, first year a gooes. You know,

0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:23.040
<v Speaker 1>how traumatizing it is or how wonderful it is. It's

0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:26.480
<v Speaker 1>just it's interesting to see how low maintenance the baby

0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:29.280
<v Speaker 1>has been so far, considering how high maintenance he was

0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 1>when he was in Ashley's stomach. I know, so weird. Um.

0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:38.160
<v Speaker 1>He loves food, loves food, Bro's what do you mean?

0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.760
<v Speaker 1>He just probably drinks formula or milk or something right

0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:43.400
<v Speaker 1>like well, because the nurses are like, oh he may

0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:46.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, not want to eat. At first, he's been

0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:50.080
<v Speaker 1>chugging formula. He cries, We give him a bottle, immediately

0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:53.600
<v Speaker 1>falls asleep. He's fine, and he's they want ten million

0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:55.760
<v Speaker 1>leaders the first So the first couple of times he feeds,

0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:57.480
<v Speaker 1>they really say, okay, you're gonna feed him every three

0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:00.120
<v Speaker 1>hours pretty much, and he should only have about ten

0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:03.760
<v Speaker 1>million leaders each feeding. And he sucks it down I'm

0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:05.920
<v Speaker 1>not joking, probably eight or nine seconds, and I'm like

0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:09.280
<v Speaker 1>I feel so bad because they always say, oh, if

0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:11.720
<v Speaker 1>if he's sucking his lips or like looking for a

0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:14.080
<v Speaker 1>bottle or sucking his fingers, he might be still hungry.

0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:16.840
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, this kid is doing so I've been

0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:18.880
<v Speaker 1>giving a little bit more food, a little bit more food,

0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:23.480
<v Speaker 1>and um, he's happy. Nice. Um. And you guys have

0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:25.080
<v Speaker 1>like the baby room and everything. I already prep for

0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:28.400
<v Speaker 1>him pretty much. So we're in Virginia obviously, but we

0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:30.240
<v Speaker 1>have a little the guest room we've kind of turned

0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:33.160
<v Speaker 1>into a nursery, so we have the crib ready to go,

0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:36.200
<v Speaker 1>which we'll sleep downstairs in the guest bedroom and he'll

0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:38.040
<v Speaker 1>sleep with us, not in the bed, but in the crib.

0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:39.800
<v Speaker 1>And then how long did you guys get back up

0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:43.360
<v Speaker 1>to Rhode Island. Uh? So, I'm going to stay here,

0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:45.600
<v Speaker 1>probably at least another week and a half. I think

0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:47.600
<v Speaker 1>the tentative plan is I'll be here for about another

0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.360
<v Speaker 1>week and a half, head back home for a few days,

0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:52.920
<v Speaker 1>be at the shop, you know, make sure everything's good,

0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:56.040
<v Speaker 1>catch up on things, drive down here, get the car,

0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:59.600
<v Speaker 1>drive down here, spend like another couple of nights here

0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:01.680
<v Speaker 1>and then and we'll pack the car together and then

0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:04.080
<v Speaker 1>drive up together. Well, so it's gonna be like a

0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:06.240
<v Speaker 1>good ten hours right now, it's about six and a half.

0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:09.000
<v Speaker 1>About traffic, it's really not bad. Okay, it's not bad. No,

0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:11.480
<v Speaker 1>dang well, I mean a lot on the on the

0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:14.080
<v Speaker 1>horizon for you guys. That's pretty exciting. It's good. It's good,

0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:15.680
<v Speaker 1>guys to be able to get back and like, obviously

0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:17.200

<v Speaker 1>Lauren is coming over right now to meet him. She

0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:33.000
<v Speaker 1>couldn't because you know, with COVID protocols they want along

0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:37.200

<v Speaker 1>it's fun though, It's it's been fun thus far, and

0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:48.120
<v Speaker 1>I think the fun is only gonna get better. I

0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:50.720

<v Speaker 1>on you, um, you know, just it makes you love

0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:06.040
<v Speaker 1>him so much. So I'm excited for the Netflix documentary

<v Speaker 1>Bachelor in Paradise Australia, and then it's gonna show some

0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:28.760
<v Speaker 1>of your guys videos and then all of a sudden,

0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:30.360
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be this video right here about you

0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:33.680
<v Speaker 1>talking about your brand new little baby boy. Unbelievable. Man. Yeah,

0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:36.240
<v Speaker 1>it's been a wild ride to say the least, and

0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:39.520
<v Speaker 1>there's we've talked about it again on the podcast numbers times,

0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:44.480
<v Speaker 1>but there's definitely uh um, excitement and trepredation when like

0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:47.120
<v Speaker 1>talking to Dawson about like, hey, this is how your

0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:50.320
<v Speaker 1>mom and dad met. It's not always perfect um, but

0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:52.360
<v Speaker 1>now there's life or love. So but I think it's

0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:53.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of a cool thing, Like he's gonna be able

0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:56.400
<v Speaker 1>to look back and like have some visual like representation

0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:59.040
<v Speaker 1>of how his parents like kind of got along at first.

0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:00.680
<v Speaker 1>And sure, I think a lot of the stuff will

0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:02.600
<v Speaker 1>be led out, left out, for sure, but like it's

0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:03.880
<v Speaker 1>still gonna be fun for him to be able to

0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:06.159
<v Speaker 1>look back and see that, you know, I I hope so.

0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:09.120
<v Speaker 1>I think so too, so, especially because it ended so positively,

0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Like I mean, you know, when he's old enough, I

0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:13.520
<v Speaker 1>would imagine, like, you know, mid teenager, like he'll have

0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:15.479
<v Speaker 1>a good perspective on kind of what was going on.

0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:17.800
<v Speaker 1>And it's like, I mean, you know, at that point too,

0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:19.800
<v Speaker 1>it's like, oh, both my parents are still happily married,

0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:21.240
<v Speaker 1>Like why wouldn't I want to go back and see

0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:23.240
<v Speaker 1>them fall in love and all that kind of stuff.

0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:24.639
<v Speaker 1>I just think that's really cool, and I think it's

0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:27.640
<v Speaker 1>a very unique situation for a kid to be able

0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:30.240
<v Speaker 1>to be in. But it's definitely unique and I'm excited

0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:32.840
<v Speaker 1>for like his first as well. Obviously that's such a

0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:35.040
<v Speaker 1>generic answer and everybody says that, But even when we

0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:38.919
<v Speaker 1>were walking to the car, and we stepped outside and

0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:41.320
<v Speaker 1>I was like, this is the first time Dawson has

0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:46.200
<v Speaker 1>ever been outside. Yeah, this is the first time. Yeah,

0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:48.280
<v Speaker 1>son has ever been on his face. This is the

0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:51.239
<v Speaker 1>first time ever. And it was like it was just,

0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:55.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, so wacky to think about, like took it

0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:58.720
<v Speaker 1>in from walking around. Yeah, first steps, Yeah, I have

0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:01.680
<v Speaker 1>those happened. When do those happen first? Yeah? He said

0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:06.639
<v Speaker 1>his first words. It was Tom Brady, Um. But yeah,

0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:09.679
<v Speaker 1>it's cool, man. So like his first car ride, you know,

0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:11.919
<v Speaker 1>even putting the car seat in, it was like, you know,

0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:14.399
<v Speaker 1>so many times you hear about it when you're becoming

0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:16.520
<v Speaker 1>a dad, and it's like the car seat right, You

0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:18.919
<v Speaker 1>gotta get the car seat right. So as I was

0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:21.560
<v Speaker 1>doing it and buckling it in, I'm like, holy, this

0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:23.680
<v Speaker 1>is that moment for me right now where like you

0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:25.639
<v Speaker 1>always think about the first time you see it on

0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:28.000
<v Speaker 1>TV and movies like the dad can't put it in right,

0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:30.600
<v Speaker 1>And of course I was struggling with it, and I'm like,

0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:33.760
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, this is crazy. What is my life

0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:38.360
<v Speaker 1>right now? Pretty amazing? Man? Uh has Like I mean,

0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:40.520
<v Speaker 1>obviously like everything's changed for you in that regard, but

0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:42.760
<v Speaker 1>like as most of it said, in yet, like you

0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:45.320
<v Speaker 1>have a freaking kid, like or is it still pretty?

0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:49.360
<v Speaker 1>It's still it definitely hasn't said in yet because it's

0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:52.479
<v Speaker 1>just weird to think that we have a kid ashually

0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:56.840
<v Speaker 1>and I have to have a son, you know. Um,

0:18:56.920 --> 0:18:58.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think about my own parents and now,

0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:01.920
<v Speaker 1>like the the way I view them, he's going to

0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:04.560
<v Speaker 1>view us, and that is something I can't wrap my

0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:07.440
<v Speaker 1>head around yet and I'm sure at some point it will,

0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:11.800
<v Speaker 1>but uh, definitely not yet. Yeah. Well, hey, we're super
