Thanks everyone! Mom and son are doing great! He's sleeping and eating and isn't fussy at all. We are staying tonight and checking out tomorrow morning. Didn't get a lot of sleep last night but not bc of him, he slept the whole time. These fold out chair things are awful lol.

Edit - did I forget to mention hospital food blows? :lol:

Beautiful child, my friend. You are about to love something in a way you never knew existed. I am so happy you'll have this experience.
Five pieces of advice:

1) Never change your boy in the dark. I made this mistake and got a mouthful of pee.
2) (Via Divits). Give up biting your fingernails immediately.
3) Sleep when he sleeps. You'll be inclined to "get stuff done" when he's asleep. You'll regret it later when you are a walking zombie.
4) Recognize when your wife is at the end of her rope and jump in to relieve her. She'll appreciate it in the long run.
5) The only way to smuggle alcohol into Disney World is in a sippy cup.

6) Lay a wipe over his Johnson while changing the diaper. It'll save you from the inevitable rain of piss.
7) When he becomes mobile and you're the one watching him, be resigned to the fact that's all you'll be doing. Don't even attempt to do anything else or you'll just make yourself angry and look foolish.
8) Coffee is your best friend.
9) Don't bother changing your shirt just because it has snot and spit on it. Wait for the stuff from the bottom end and you'll cut your laundry load in half.
10) When the grandparents offer to babysit so you and the wife can go out, NEVER decline this offer.

Valuable advice from MJM and Pasty. My advice, which we got from a good friend, this too shall pass.

Oh good grief, another Gator and a big one at that! Gators are multiplying much faster than Canes. Durty, gotta admit that he is a fine looking young man. He has a perfect shaped head and is not red or wrinkley. Congrats to you and your wife. Now begins about 22 years of hard labor and lots and lots of expense. Just wait till he says "DaDa" and "MaMa", then somehow it's all worth it.

One thing you will soon learn is that know matter how much you love your own parents the love you have for your children will outstrip even that.

Well if he turns out looking like his father, then there is nothing to worry about.

I'll warn you of something Durty that both my kids did to me. Picture this: giving them a nice warm bath in the bathtub. They are finally old enough to play with a small toy or splash the water a little. Momma is in the kitchen finally making dinner again. Life is good. And then the little SOB decides to release everything in her bowels into that bath water. Quick... what do you grab first?
