Next Time On line I'll Be a New Dad

[firstdown]

I just talked to my wife and her doctor is going to enduce labor this Sat. at 6:00 am. This is our first child and my second as I have a daughter who is 21. I know, one moves out and I start all over again. We do not know if its a boy or a girl only that he or she will be here sometime Saturday. I was planning on watching the game but I guess some things have to come before football. Its funny this has been coming for 81/2 months and we both feel that we have a tone of stuff that is still not done but I guess its too late now. So you guys yell and drink one for me and I'll let you know how thing go next week when I'm back at work. Internet at home does not work.

Will do! Good luck, and let us know if it's a boy or a girl!

Incidentally, my sisters are 20 and 23 years younger than me - it's still fun not being an only child anymore.

Congrats! The hospital where my 3 kids were born had TVs in the room. I had 2 kids born in September so that put my mind at ease. I never had to watch a game there but it was nice to have a backup plan.

Is this your wife's first child? Our first child took forever. The doctor started the induction process at 7am and my daughter didn't arrive until almost 3am the next day.

Anyways, Good luck to you and God Bless!!!!!!

6:00 am inducement? Doctors can be so cruel. They know you'll be up all night prior thinking about everything under the sun. I guess the good thing with that is your more likely to spend less overnight time at the hospital. Hope everything goes fantastic for you guys.

Congratulations and good luck!

Thanks man for the thought of the 18 hour birth. Her doctor said that the child is ready to come and it should not take too long so I hope she's right. They have TV's but I dont think they will have the NFL channel. And yes this is her first.

Thats what I said "Why so early" but maybe she will be tired come around 7:45pm and will want to go to sleep. Game Time! My last daughter was induced at the same time and at the time I was playing in a band. I got home at 3:00am and up at 4:30am and off we went but I was 21 then so it was not that bad.

[wolfeskins]

i'm guessing your going to chesapeake general ? my wife had both of our kids there. they induced labor for my first one and it went really fast, my wife was only in labor for a couple of hours.

congrats, good luck and god bless

[hooskins]

Congrats!

Congrats! I would bet the 6am inducement is due to the Doc being a Redskin fan and he wants to get home for game prep!

Well I lied and I did get to work today and tomorrow is the day. I know what your saying about 42 and a new born in the house but my wife is 8 yrs younger and it took three yrs for her to get pregnant. That was the best part three yrs of trying!
