YES, I knocked her up!!

[IrregularPulse]

Well, we just got back from the hospital today... 4 hours there with my wife having some major contractions. Given some drugs and time and she is OK now. Called off work, go back next Tuesday now... so that I can keep an eye on the Mrs.

All is well, but it was definately a different story at 8:30am today. We still have 7 weeks to go, hopefully my son will wait a few weeks longer.

We went through this 3 times when my wife was pregnant last summer. Although my son was always nice enough to try and escape right about the time I was going to bed for work the next morning! Then off to the hospital to stop the contractions. Doc said once we hit 35 weeks, he'll let him come when he comes, so of course come 35 weeks, all this nonsense stopped. We scheduled induction for thursday the 8th (Due date the 12th) and on the 3rd, he said, "eh, I'm outta here". We walked around our block, up and down a small hill, about 10 laps once she started having small contractions at ~7pm, that got the little guy moving. Went to the hospitl at 10pm, had him at 1:23pm the next afternoon after 23 minutes of labor. SWMBO got off easy. Epideral did it's job great. Not one Scream or notion of pain, we were all laughing with the doctor (Even Her!) between pushes.I was thinking....Isn't this supposed to be insanely hard!!

Here's hoping you can keep him up there!

whoa, 5 more weeks Evan, You could have a perfectly healthy baby any day now!!!!

 

[Evan!]

Yikes, I hope not...he ain't done cookin!

 

[IrregularPulse]

Yikes, I hope not...he ain't done cookin!

He's done enough to be perfectly healthy, rather or not you're done setting the table is another story
I thought I was ready until the Doctor said, "Ok, let's do this!" My eye's grew to the size of watermelons!

Our due date is July 13th right now.

Funny thing is that I was SUPPOSED to be gone today, I was in Dallas yesterday on a 4 day trip. They recalled me back to my base (home) and this all happened this morning.

THEN at the hospital, scheduling calls to tell me that I now have a 5pm departure today, to leave for two days. I was like... mmm, no, better call someone else and PDO me for a couple days, I am standing in a hospital right now... while your at it, transfer me to the chief pilot so that there are no issues to be resolved later.

Bam, I am off til Tuesday. Wife is fine now, definately not something I want to wake up to, but baby Robert was strong and healthy through all of it. He is already more of a trooper than the pansie a$$ boys in this neighborhood.

 

[The Pol]

5 days and we welcome baby Robert into the world...

Everything is a GO... he will be delivered on July 6th, I return home from a 4 day trip on the 5th. Then, I have the rest of July off with the family.

 

[CodeRage]

Thats great man! It happens and goes by so fast, enjoy the hell out of it.

 

[IrregularPulse]

Enjoy July. That is great that you get so much time. I took 2 weeks and did not want to go back at all! Scheduled deliveries are great! Maybe not the most natural thing in the world, but sure are convenient We were scheduled for a thursday and he came on his own Monday.

After working 20 days and being gone 20 nights in June... I am ready for some time off.

 

[Homercidal]

Praying everything goes well. You should enjoy the time off and spending it with the young one.

 

[Brewmasters Warehouse]

I hope everything goes well and have lots of fun in July. Not everyday you get to spend a month with the family.

 

[IrregularPulse]

Wow, rough schedule, enjoy you home time.

 

[The Pol]

Yah, somehow it is not nearly as glamorous as it is in the movies.

I will have pics up when they are available. We will have plenty of family in town and the three weeks off will be nice. I plan to get some brewing in there too, SWMBO insists on it.

Family is very nice to have around. I imagine they won't be needed in house with number two but number 1 can go to Gigi's. I dreaded my MIL being there for a week, but when she left I would have been okay with her staying. But you know all that already as I think this is not your first correct?
Looking forward to pics of the fam.

 

[The Pol]

This will be the third...

I live my IL's to death, they will be great to have around. My own folks, will only stay a few days, and that is AOK by me. I prefer my IL's to my own parents anyway.

 

[Saccharomyces]

Best wishes, and ditto enjoy the time off.

 

[The Pol]

Good evening fellas.

Robert Cecil was born at 4:21pm today.

He weighs 7 pounds, 1 ounce

He is 20" long

Mommy and baby are in prefect health, he has actually been feeding well and he is only 4 hours old!

We came in at 6am, her water broke at about 1pm and labor really began at that point. SWMBO began pushing at 4:15pm and baby was here at 4:21pm.

I am actually posting from the delivery/recovery room as we speak! Clarian West is the nicest hospital I have ever seen, much more like a hotel... we are blessed to have this facility so close to home, and to have such a healthy baby boy.

 

[shecky]

Many 'grats to you, mom and the rest of the family.

 

[boo boo]

Congrats man. Good to see everyone is alright and healthy.

 

[ISLAGI]

<Raising a glass to you and yours>

Prosit!

 

[The Pol]

Thanks fellas... it was a great day, beautiful day in fact. Everything was picture perfect. He is a handsome little guy, I cannot wait to show him off. I am a very proud dad, for the third time...

I cannot wait to get home and have a drink, to the health of my family, I am a man truely blessed.

Outstanding news, The Pol! Since you're having a drink, buy something nice and have a few shots with your friends. Finish the bottle with your child when he turns 21. Trust me, it's a real male bonding thing with your son.

 

[conpewter]

Congrats! So awesome to have a healthy birth. Brewing any Birthday beer to lay down for a while?

 

[CodeRage]

Congrats Pol! Good to hear every one is doing well.

 

[brrman]

Congrats, bud!!!

 

[paulthenurse]

Congrats to all.

 

[NJTomatoguy]

Congrats to you and the wife!

 

[The Pol]

Morning all...

Baby was well through the night, at this hospital they keep the babies with the parents, unless you REALLY need a break, then they will watch them at the nurses station.

This morning, early, baby Robert had his "surgery".... poor fella. Though, he has been well, resting being a good boy. Looks as if we will be released today, after 24 hours, to go home!

 

[IrregularPulse]

Glad to hear everything went great. I was way to tired to be on the internet at the hopspital, but I guess you're a seasoned pro Did you watch the surgery? My friend just had a boy lsat week and watched, I thuoght Why The Crap would you want to watch that!
Good to hear you had such a good hospital and staff through the whole thing, It really add's that much more to the experience. Congrats again.

 

[McKBrew]

Congrats Rob and Family.

 

[The Pol]

Congrats Rob and Family.

Thanks!

The hospitals here in Indy, are incredible... this one is only a few years old. The staff is awesome. There were only (2) babies born here yesterday, so we have gotten a lot of attention.

I DID NOT watch the surgery... holy crap. I was actually napping. Apparently he didint cry, he never really cries.

He just had his hospital pictures taken, we will be out of here at about 5pm today. The other kids and the inlaws will be here in a couple hours to visit.
