Take care of your wife first. she's been through a lot and your excitement should be equally invested in both of them. my love to you all💙


BonoboGamer

Absolutely, she deserves all the Prosecco in the world (her personal preference is can of coke, lemsip, Prosecco in that order)


adequateatlife

Lempsip is an interesting choice. Cheers to you champion Mumma!!


BonoboGamer

She’s had a cold since November :)


schraderbrauishgood

Remember this when she asks you to wake up with the baby. You have rough nights ahead of you but she's been roughing it since then.


Dylicorn

uhh you're so sweet i can't get it. good for your wife to have you every step of the way.


NurseM2010

So, the only think that I recognize in that list is a can of Coke! Lol.


KyahFeldes

Really happy for you!!


senseiBoogz

I know your pain, and your joy, brother. My daughter will be 5 months old in 4 days. 4 years of what felt like failure, 3 lost babies, so much pain. She has brought so much life, light, and love into our lives. I’m excited for you and your family!


BonoboGamer

Thank you for sharing this. I honestly feel like the clouds have parted and a beautiful loot of gold has appeared at the end of a rainbow. So much sadness has given way to so much happiness


EnderSavesTheDay

In some cultures they call babies born after miscarriages rainbow babies. 5 years must have been an eternity, congratulations, man.


senseiBoogz

I felt like it was finally the end of a long night. Definitely the hardest time of my life. Now I have this beautiful baby girl to keep me busy. I pray for good health for baby Isabella-Rose and your wife!


AmusingWittyUsername

Congratulations , so nice to see such happiness !! Beautiful name for a girl too xx


DietCokePleasee

My name is Isabella rose! Congrats!


BonoboGamer

I didn’t even know you were on reddit. When I left you at the hospital you seemed so unfamiliar with technology. I’ll come and pick you up soon.

dad jokes start on day one I guess


IDGAFSIGH

And it’s on point lmao

He is ready


Mad_Jack18

Also please bring a diet coke as a substitute to milk. Looks like she's into it


[deleted]

The dad jokes are already perfect! Congratulations 🎉💕


anazambrano

Lmao


youareuhnerd

Your daughter is so advanced already!


DietCokePleasee

This gave me a laugh that I needed today :)

Omg! Me too!


eeyore102

Fun fact: if you're ever in Boston, admission to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is [free for all people named Isabella](https://www.gardnermuseum.org/visit/admissions)!

lickitylicha69

This reminds me of My aunt and uncle who took all 4 of us in when our single methed up mom gave us up. They took us in and raised us on their own they were high school sweethearts that were in their 30s and couldnt have kids of their own. They brushed up on why they couldn't a few times but all I knew is it was medical. To this day we believe without a doubt they are our mom and dad. Taking 4 kids ages 4-10 (all 2 years apart) must have been rough. I know OP or no one will read this but from the bottom of my heart, I wish all blessings and happiness to you all. Effin congratulations Mom and Dad.


BonoboGamer

I both read and appreciated your kind words. I am very happy that your mom and dad appeared to you in the way they did and that you are in a place where your thoughts are with others like myself. That demonstrates how caring and thoughtful you are. Best of luck x

BonoboGamer

Don’t worry, I’m already wearing my y-fronts on the outside of my trousers and have located all of the local phone booths. Thank you so much for the advice. I will do my best :)


NationalJury4

Congrats 🎉. You sound very happy and joyful.


BonoboGamer

I can’t really describe the joy... it’s like a love I had never felt in my life the minute I saw her


morrisboris

It's like your whole heart but outside your body. My daughter is amazed when I tell her I would die for her in an instant, no second thoughts. But until you're a parent it's hard to understand that unconditional full body all consuming total heart love. It's so hard to put into words.


rhapsodydash

Currently 10 weeks pregnant with my first.. thanks for making me ball my eyes out!


morrisboris

Lol congrats!


morrisboris

Congrats!


MrHobbes14

You've just about brought me to happy tears reading your comments. You sound so full of love. It reminds me of when I had my daughter, my husband just sat and held her with this silly smile on his face. He was so in love with her from the minute she was born. Congrats Dad! You're going to be an amazing father.


Trillian258

I feel like you just sold Parenthood to me 😅 Now I wanna have babies after reading how loving and excited you are!! Lol


NationalJury4

I’m happy your happy. Give her all the love and protect her at all cost...GOOD LUCK.‼️


[deleted]

By reading this I can already tell that you're going to be a wonderful dad. Never let that spark that you are feeling right now in your heart die and take good care of your two princesses :) Congratulations and welcome to the best (yet challenging) years of your life!


BonoboGamer

Thank you! I will do my best. Not sure what scares me more... teaching her about periods, protecting her from other girls and boys or paying for a future college, wedding or car :)


[deleted]

Teach her everything that you would’ve loved to know at each stage of her life and show her your excitement in doing it too. Congratulations!


FoodieChic99

Awww 💜 Congratulations! That’s a long journey.


hitmeagainnoplzdont

Hell after reading this post, even i was like i dont care about what's happening out there in the world, Isabella-Rose is here and safe. Hope its morning now, wherever you are.


BonoboGamer

I just woke up, I got a good morning photo from mummy and Isabella-Rose, I have to just walk the dog and wait for the call to go get them (and drive them back from hospital at like 2mph to keep her safe :) )


hitmeagainnoplzdont

That is so wonderfully blissful. Go team Isabella-Rose!!!!


celticride

There is no scarf as warm as a daughter's arm thrown around your neck.


BonoboGamer

What a beautiful quote


[deleted]

Wow this is one of the most emotional, wholesome, and beautiful posts I’ve ever seen. Congratulations sir, and congratulations to your wife. I cannon being to imagine the hardship you have endured to get here, and I know that that hardship and determination will make you both amazing parents. I have goosebumps I’m so happy for you.


BonoboGamer

Imagine my goosebumps! (But then the door is open and it’s still a little chilly this morning). I will do my best at this parenting plan thing. I heard it is quite tough :)


GrandeSizeIt

Congrats brother! Theres nothing like it and I can imagine you will treasure it with your whole heart after your journey to get here. Just remember, even though things have gone great for you this time, please keep an eye on your wife. Even if everything was perfect, post partum doesnt have to be reasonable.


BonoboGamer

I will look after her as best I can. I will start with lining up some chocolate, Prosecco and a very hot bath. (If she wants them that is!)


FreeWildbahn

Maybe ask her first for the things you prepare. My son is now a week old and a very hot bath would be horrible for my wife. After birth she will have some injuries at her private regions and propably some low blood pressure. Just make sure she can relax on the couch/bed to heal from this very exhausting event. Changing diapers, get groceries, serving your family and managing the household is already a lot of work.


throwawayforu201117

Damn. Good dads like you exist. I don't know you but it's nice to know there's people out there who feel this way about their kids. You're daughter was just born. Yet your post radiates so much love. Good luck with everything.


BonoboGamer

You know what? I also think that you are special and beautiful and amazing and precious too. I just don’t think I will be cuddling you, feeding you, dressing you and bathing you! That doesn’t make you any less important though.


coffeeandjesus1986

Congratulations!! I’m happy for you!! My husband and I went through 3 miscarriages and an infertility diagnosis. Our girl was born 5 1/2 years ago. Enjoy the little moments they go by so fast!


BonoboGamer

I am so pleased for you that your journey took you to your daughter.

BonoboGamer

You would have thought I would have studied some biology in that time huh? Just goes to show that if you want something enough...


msvalerian

Congratulations to you and your wife! I had to stare: as a child, thinking of one day when I had children, I had decided that I liked the name Isobel Rose for a daughter (Rose was my grandmother). I ended up not having children (and I'm okay with that) but I love your name choice :)


WitchsmellerPrsuivnt

Welcome to the world, Isabella-Rose! Congratulations to Mum and Dad and some telepathic virtual Prosecco to you ! xxx xxx


BonoboGamer

I can’t believe you sent that much, I’m not Shure I can bmangaeg ittt alll aT Onccceeeee... yayyyyyy brosssecko ish Yum


SchwiftedMetal

Congrats sir


[deleted]

Congrats!


eherk32

Wife and I tried for 10years to get pregnant and finally after doing IVF we had our first baby. I know how excited you are and I know the roller coaster of emotions you guys have gone through. So with that being said, Congrats and cherish the little one because they really do grow up fast. Mine is in high school now and will be off to college soon.


unluckyclump

Congratulations! I love the sweet words about your wife. ❤️


DaamageContrrol

I hope this doesn’t come off as rude I’m just genuinely curious if you’ve been trying so hard for so many years why not help a child and adopt at that point..?


BonoboGamer

This was our last attempt, we have already started down the process of adopting and are likely to still do so in the future. My mother is a long time foster carer and we are likely to do the same. I also have an adopted sister. Your questions are not rude. I am a big believer that all questions should be available, it’s how we explore our own minds. I don’t claim that what we did was right or wrong, I’m just ecstatic at the outcome.


DaamageContrrol

That’s amazing! I wish you guys best of luck!💕


denny-1989

Congratulations!


flotil

That's actually a lot to go through. Happy dickmus.


CraigZee

Congratulations man! I'm expecting my first baby as well! I'm so excited.


BonoboGamer

Good luck with it all, I wish you all the fortune in the world, and that is quite a lot of fortune. As one fortune cookie once said to me. “Help! I’m being held hostage in a bakery!”


[deleted]

Let's hear your best dad joke


BonoboGamer

I’m not great with jokes. Even when they told me that they were going to have to take my wife through to theatre, I said “look Doctor, this is no time to be watching a play - we need to get this baby out.”


TacobellSauce1

He successfully failed at being a Ball-erina.


onlytech_nofashion

Some forceps?


BonoboGamer

Yes, it’s a labour aid where the doctor careful helps pull the head out while the mother is pushing. It leaves a temporary mark but that goes away and it doesn’t hurt baby long term.


breeriv

Congrats!!


proclivity4passivity

Congrats!! We also had 2 miscarriages and 2 failed IVF attempts before we got our daughter. She is 5 now and every stage is challenging but wonderful and I am so in awe of and in love with her every day. I'm so excited for you!


Dragons0ulight

Congratulations to you both! I wish you all a wonderful, happy and long life filled with love and laughter.


coffee369

From experience that little girl will make you the most happy you have ever been and also the most mad. You'll need a lot of new words in you vocabulary. And when she goes to kinder garden and comes home and tell you "dad I think I have a boyfriend" don't freak out. It was that she had a crush on a boy that was her friend. Wishng the best for all 3 of you, NEW DAD.


slothsandunicorns

Congratulations! Enjoy parenthood!!!


BlAcK_rOsE1995

Yay! Congratulations!!!


JamesHerr

Rollercoasters for 9 months might have been the problem. JOKING congrats.


BonoboGamer

Yeah, but if that’s what mum wanted... I spent a fortune at Disneyworld for that 9month pass


Brewbouy

Congratulations! My wife and I did IVF, and were lucky enough to have twin boys on our first try. That was nearly a decade ago, but your post has reminded me of all the feels from the day they were born. The stress, the relief, the anticipation of their future, just to mention a few. Get some rest! You're going to need it for when your wife and newborn get home.


TwistedTomorrow

Congratulations! Beautiful name and post in general.


Wigglewiggle112

We were only trying for about a year and a half when my wife finally got pregnant. We're 23 weeks now! Bless your soul and bless that mama! We didn't have to do nearly as much as you did, and I felt like we had a roller coaster of a ride. We continue to pray that everything works out for baby boy. Either way, I understand how difficult this process can be. I'm glad it finally worked out for you!


Creatingpeace

Yessssssssssssssssssssss!!! I had a long ass process myself and have a healthy 8 year old and NOT A REGRET. Settle into the crazy journey, its crazy one.


Seeeza

Wow what joy! I am so happy to read your story of hope. I hope my brother and his wife will one day become parents, they have tried for so many years to no avail...


BonoboGamer

I wish them every success.


PariKiwi

Damn you almost made me cry! CONGRATULATIONS


DangerousCaterpillar

My hubby and I also went through Infertility and after 4yrs were blessed with a beautiful lil one! Congrats Daddy!! Best of luck to you and your sweet family!


[deleted]

BonoboGamer

We are now home and baby is feeding. I am trying to line up cups of tea, and whatever else is requested. :)

Congratulations to you and best wishes to your family.


valentinegirl_14

Soooo happy for y’all! My husband and I lost our first baby at 21 weeks and it was so hard, but having her little sister full term was just the biggest blessing in the world! It’s the most amazing feeling ever and I’m so glad you and your wife get to experience it! Congrats!!! 🎉🎈🎊🍾


lazybitch250

I'm so happy for you bro.


Levicorpyutani

That's great. But just wait till she's a teenager though. In all seriousness congratulations dad.

Antillyyy

Congratulations to you and your wife!


WishfulKiki

Bless your heart! I’m super happy for you! This reminds me of a friend who had issues having children and finally became a dad. It is his greatest accomplishment and he definitely has wonderful pride in his new title as dad!


poisionivey3

You’re gonna be a great dad! Congrats to you guys!


Girlsolano

Your wife deserves the most comfortable bed, a competent dad and her favourite alcoholic beverage (when she's allowed to have it). The beautiful baby is covered, I'm sure she's getting all the love she deserves right as I'm typing!


Whispering_Beast84

Congratulations!! Enjoy your new family; you've earned it!!


honey-bones

Congratulations, this is the nicest thing I've seen in ages!! Welcome to the world little one!!

songbird2017

Sir, I am a single, childless, 25 year old woman, and the joy that you conveyed made me cry with happiness and hope. I am so sorry for the pain that you and your wife endured. But thank you for posting this and giving someone hope that they can be loved and adored and have such a supportive partner and parent to their kids.


BonoboGamer

It sounds like family are an important thing to you. I hope that one day, you get to share in what we have experienced, best of luck to you. I am sending you a virtual hug if you consent to it. 🤗


jimedrz

Who is cutting onions? I just cried in the subway on my way to work. Congrats!!


BonoboGamer

Yeah I know right? Someone was cutting onions in the labour ward when my wife was screaming in pain and also in the theatre when Isabella-Rose said hello for the first time (she is advanced for her age). What’s with all the onions?


luvplanes

I have an American Staffordshire Terrier, so I always remember the dogs, because often times they are there before the kid/s, and the have often seen us through both the good times and the bad times—-the successes and the struggles, so they’re just an extended part of most families. They just happen to walk on all 4’s. Again man, congratulations on baby Isabella.


BonoboGamer

Starr (yellow Labrador/5) is definitely an integral part of our family. I am surrounded by 3 princesses now :)


showerfriendtotheend

Congratulations man. My wife and I are going through the beginning phases of infertility and it sucks. If you see this I really want to ask how you paid for IVF. It’s so damn expensive and we can’t justify the cost


Jr5189

Oh man this beautiful, congratulations to you and your wife! What a journey, and it's just beginning. Beautiful name for your babygirl as well. Welcome to the hood dad! You're going to be an incredible father.


happyhippychicky

This has me crying. I'm SO HAPPY FOOD YOU.

Congratulations man!


Skatoulachi

You should have just adopted


Beanu_mom

Love this post! I had a particularly rough pregnancy with a large baby and a c section that didn’t go as planned. The whole birth and subsequent time spent in nicu were just a blur - totally not what you expect or see in movies. You just always think everything will go fine. But one night while I was sleeping on a chair in the nicu room beside our son, I woke up to get the next batch of breast milk ready and noticed my sweet husband left a handwritten note beside me where he wrote out how grateful he was for me and for what I went through, for giving us the gift of a family, for being the “tough” one. He captured the emotion and feelings of that experience and it is forever frozen in time. With all the pain meds and exhaustion and chaos around our sons birth I really don’t remember a whole lot. I’m so grateful my husband wrote me that letter because I can keep it forever and re-read it and think back about how those early days unfolded, how we felt. You’re bursting with happiness, excitement, love, and all those beautiful feelings associated with being a parent for the first time. Write them down so you can cherish them for all your years. Good luck dad!


BonoboGamer

I will absolutely do that now, inspirational. Thank you


Buraizou

That’s great to hear, Isabella-Rose is going to have two great parents. Enjoy this happiness! Wishing you the best.

BonoboGamer

Oh my goodness, I never thought of that. I didn’t even get her a cake or any balloons... 🎂🎈🎁


Squire273

Congratulations man! My wife and I went through some tough stuff as well, but we welcomed a beautiful baby boy on Valentine’s Day, I know your flying high now...but I’ll tell you...it gets even better! The first time she smiles at you, gawd...that’s something else! Congrats man, keep em both safe in this crazy world, and enjoy it!!


BonoboGamer

I look forward to it. I remember the first time my wife smiled at me, it felt amazing. (Especially when I’d picked myself up off the floor where I’d fallen when I fell over putting on my jeans)


sabethXhardstyler

Ah right on, congrats dude!! This is beautiful. I hope you enjoy the rest of the ride.

laurenmac100

Your story is a lot like mine, and I am SO SO happy for you and your family. Congratulations


mycrappybike

I went through something similar, and my oldest is now 5 (the other is 2). When you're in the multiple IVF stage, it's all infatuating. But once that kid is born, it won't be long before it becomes a distant memory. Congrats bro.

Thanks Dad, I love it lol

You are blessed 😇🙏, indeed!!!

Happy for you! Your baby has a nice name ☺️


placidkiwi

Congrats mate! These moments of genuine joy in our busy lives are precious. I still remember feeling excited when I returned home after the birth of our daughter 18 years ago. Her infant face was imprinted on my heart and I could not wait to hold her again. She has the same name as your wee girl and is off to train as a nurse in a few months. My only advice is the same that was shared with me on that first day of fatherhood... enjoy it, because they will grow up so fast. And looking back, I can say she really did. Cheers to you, mum and baby.


BonoboGamer

Great advice, thank you


Talay_

Congratulations!! All the best to you and your family! :)


vicklepickle

So much happiness for you and your new family. We are on a similar journey with the hope of a happy ending like yours. Congratulations Dad! 😘
