Officially a Father!

[skinsguy]

Well, surprise surprise! My son decided to grace us with his presence seven weeks early! My wife gave birth to our beautiful baby boy last Wednesday around 2:34 in the PM. 3 lbs, 14 ounces, 16 inches long. He'll have to stay in the NICU for close to seven more weeks. They like to keep the babies in the NICU for close to their due date.

My wife had a lot of complications though. She was dealing with four fibroids, which are non-cancerous tumors of the uterus. Two were the size of grapefruits, and the thinking is that one had moved which caused the baby to move further down. Anyways, she wound up rupturing herself which caused her water to break -and about 7 hours later, for little Tony to greet us! My wife is having minor surgery right now to help lessen some of the pain she's been dealing with, and will probably have to go back for more surgery in about six weeks to remove the fibroids. Needless to say, she's probably not going to want to go through all of this again, but we're just thankful that our son appears to be happy and healthy considering he's premature.

I am a proud papa right now! Love my son! And I have not been able to keep my mind on work today because all's I want to do is to be at the side of my little baby boy. Don't worry, I was already telling Tony yesterday that we are Redskins fans, and that we absolutely hate the Dallas Cowboys! I'm making sure he knows from the get go that the burgundy and gold is our team!
