Yes, Im the dad from the Being Dad film. Yes that was my wife giving birth on film. Yes my first reaction was an audible "eek" and Yes I accidentally nicked my brand new baby daughter when I cut the cord.
Honestly, it was an absolute pleasure being filmed for nine months during the pregnancy of my wife. Catching all the dumb things I said, watching the morning sickness mistakes, spying on my teary eyed sonogram viewing.
At least I managed to keep my tear ducts under control at the birth - although that was quite a battle.
We filmed 40 of the greatest new dads around the country at all sorts of different bars, pubs and clubs - from LA to Dallas to Boston and heard all about what I was in for.
And what I learned over the 9 months of filming left me a veritable encyclopedia of real "what to expect when SHE's expecting", which I hope to impart over the coming blogs.
The amazing thing is that the filming took place nearly 2 years ago now - Ive almost entirely forgotten everything I went through, and with my wife pregnant again, am almost entirely relying on what I gleaned from my documentary experience.
So - round one - sex and conception with a robot wife - hell bent on conception; when its not working and what to do when your wife is getting upset because every one on the planet is getting pregnant.
See you on the next blog...
