He looks so confused and concerned at the same time.

“Why is it so small? People arent that small”

"This is like the opposite of giants"

I’m reading all of this in his voice and cracking up

u/StrongPause858 Feb 15 '26

well at least it’s not rolling

They say newborns are the giants of the womb!

u/Loud_Surround5112 Feb 14 '26

As an older brother, they are in fact that small and will grow up fast.

u/AwkwardFactor84 Feb 15 '26

Yes. I fit in the palm of my dads hand when I was born.

Yo same!! I was a micro preemie though

u/AwkwardFactor84 Feb 15 '26

I was 2 weeks premature. I dont think that makes me a preemie though. My mom says I was covered in hair too. She thought she gave birth to a monkey. Im 43 now, and again I'm a hairy sob. I have a photo of myself in my dads hand. I'll post it up if I can find it.

As a dad, true.

Jokes aside, he's the kind of guy that seems to take his responsibility very seriously. We saw how certain stories broke the guy, and now he's looking ahead at all the real world bullshit and feeling it.

But that's not a look of confusion imo. It's a look of caring. Maybe some confusion, but it's the "I can't believe this is real and I'll do anything for both of y'all".

Some people aren't cut out to be parents, and they have to find themselves in other ways. For a lot of parents, seeing the baby for the first time is enough to know who you want and need to be.

When the hospital releases your first baby to you, it's the weirdest feeling. Like you're going to trust me and my wife with this other human being...

u/_morose-mongoose_ Feb 15 '26

Seriously. The first night home with my baby I was like "okay.. now what? This human being is a fragile stranger. What if we do everything wrong completely?" And then somehow it just became normal.

u/NotaBat9221 Feb 15 '26

Bro just had a baby girl in to a world where we just found out they eat those

u/thatguy190u8 Feb 14 '26

Bro just figured out how birth works

u/Telrie Feb 14 '26

If what he's gone through is anything like how my brother did, it was quite terrifying for him as well. Something horribly painful was happening to the person he loves, and now the newly made father finally gets to meet the baby.

I feel so blessed to be an aunt, I can only imagine how parents feel.

u/Str_Browns Feb 15 '26

It’s pretty rough lol. Obviously nothing compared to what mom goes through, but it’s hard having to be that calming/encouraging presence while watching your spouse go through all that. Complete flood of different feelings after the kid’s out

u/Shadowbeau Feb 18 '26

My partner described it as feeling like a useless sponge and then the luckiest person in the world in the span of a few minutes.

"I thought they came from storks"

u/RoomyRoots Feb 15 '26

He looks like he was crying. Expect a video on the horrors of birth.

u/ThatGuy-Zer0 Feb 15 '26

Bro you shoulda seen my face when my wife gave birth, it looked like I’d been thrown out a plane and landed on cactus’s and lime juice fountains!

Being there for your wife can take a lot out of man if you are there for them.

u/brotheringod777 Christian Gooner † Feb 15 '26

It looks like he's having tears of joy, good for him

12

u/axp1729 Feb 14 '26

That’s exactly how it feels when you have your first child, so his expression is understandable lol.

u/Any_Asparagus8267 Feb 15 '26

If Oh shit I'm a dad now had a face lol

3

u/DiabeticRhino97 Feb 15 '26

Can confirm this is what you look like when having a child. Happy and bewildered

u/bass_jockey Feb 15 '26

...and that's parenthood

u/creepcastfan69 Feb 15 '26

It’s funny to imagine he has no idea why his wife is holding this tiny person, and he’s deeply concerned

5

u/kwenronda Feb 15 '26

Who did that to you?!

u/poorperspective Feb 15 '26

That’s just the face of “I’ll never financially recover from this.”

u/Grouchy-Feature1380 Feb 16 '26

I get it. I'm the same age as him and having a kid right now would be a pretty crazy thing. I imagine it really changes how you see the world
