Take time to bond with him. Try as much as you can to get on with his mother so you can spend as much time as possible with him.

he wouldn't let me see his eyes.

Dude, maybe that was just an unfortunate choice of words but it sounds like you're saying the kid is consciously snubbing you in some way. He's a baby. He's a tiny, few day old baby. He's utterly incapable of wanting to hurt your feelings.

He never opened his eyes for me

Well the eyes, it's true, are the window of the soul.

Why not try grabbing the uncooperative fucker by one of his legs and then dangling him out of the bedroom window - I'm willing to bet he'd open his eyes then.

Realistically, he'd almost have to acknowledge you, in that sort of context.

On the other hand though, worrying too much about this 'soul' thing is a mistake. I've never had one personally, and I know, for a fact, that lots of people on this board have already traded theirs for knowledge and power - Basically, it seems like it's ok.

Just the fears of a new father, I guess. And yeah, poor choice of words on my part.

Deadwing! How's Missouri, Missouri? We got a hole block of girl up in this crib. Get yo ass in that tub!

Your kid's middle name should definitely be R.

Actually, I did do bibliomancy and surprisingly came up with Samson. Apologies for not mentioning it before, but I was a bit thrown by your initial post.

Tell you what: Put the kid to your ear and give him a good shake. Baby souls are supposed to rattle.

Deadwings, your baby is just a baby. It's not god, it's not a spirit, it won't be able to walk or talk for quite a while, it can't read and it's probably going to be messy for the next 7 years. It doesn't know it's related to you, it didn't want to open its eyes so it didn't. It's going to need to be fed and clothed and changed and hugged for ages. I suggest you stop thinking about your child as a miracle and start thinking of it as a baby. You're in shock (and awe), that's pretty obvious from where I'm sitting, once it's crying at night when you want to sleep you'll probably get over it.

Alex, thank you for that quote. I think you just made my day.

...this also recalls the story my Art/Ancient History teacher once told about his school back in Brighton where a teacher once dangled a kid out the window for talking back. This is also the teacher who named his daughter Ares.

*still laughing from the last post*

>> name was finalized as Miles Johnathan Finder,

I feel strangely proud and connected to your child, given his last name. There's a soul in there, trust me.
