First off, a few of you were supposed to have coins shipped this morning, well they may be a couple of days late
Today was the wildest day of my life. My wife was due to have a baby Nov 5th, but things changed quickly this morning.
awoken at 5 am with my wife "thinking" she might be in labor so she was going to skip her 3 mile run (us runners are crazy)
2 hours later we were on the way to the hospital, 30 minute drive, when suddenly she said "baby is coming, call 911". This was at 8:45 am.
Called 911, met the EMTs at a Super 8 motel parking lot and at 8:58 had a perfect screaming little girl right there in the parking lot. Came very close to delivering the baby myself (my dentist skills would have been sooooo useful). Luckily 5 minutes before baby popped out the EMTs arrived and did their thing.
turns out it was their first time ever having to deliver a baby and they were in almost as much shock as us. Wife did great, but will definitely leave for the hospital quicker with future kids.
20 minutes later we were finally the hospital and the baby checked out great and everything is going well. Should go home in 48hrs and will try and get coins shipped shortly after
So here is Piper Hellen 6 lbs 6 oz and 19.5 inch long

Congratulations to you all, everyone looks great all things considered.
I can't speak for the others, but as one whom you were supposed to ship to today, don't worry about it.
Make sure all is well,settle in and love/enjoy each other.
I am going nowhere and my kid is 13 so sleeps all night !
Best.
What an entrance for a princess.

Glad everything worked out OK.
The math for how much work children require is taken from the Richter scale. I stole this directly from Wikipedia. Check it out:
1 kid = Felt by many indoors, dishes and doors disturbed.
2 kids = Felt by nearly everyone. People awakened. Cracked walls, trees disturbed.
3 kids = Felt by all. Many run outdoors. Furniture moves. Slight damage occurs.
4 kids = Everyone runs outdoors. Moderate to major damage. Minor damage to specially designed buildings. Chimneys and walls collapse.
5 kids = Major damage. Structures destroyed. Ground is badly cracked. Landslides occur.
More than 5 kids = Total destruction. Ground surface waves seen. Objects thrown into the air. All construction destroyed.
<< <i>BTW, Two kids somehow is more than double the work somehow...
I've always said 'one is one' and 'two is exponential'! Congratulations!!
My two kids (and wife) are the best things to ever happen to me by far!
What a TRULY wild story indeed.
Beautiful little lady you have there.

Actually it is a great excuse - coingrats to you, your wife, and your new princess

Never underestimate the power of women to amaze.
Big Congrats to you and your wife!!! My wife is due right at Christmas with our first. Even though she's got to have a planned c-section, you can bet that I'll be CLOSE to hospital starting at about December 1st!!! Might even camp out in the parking lot until the due date.......especially after this story!
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
One of my sisters-in-law had her second in a college dorm (my brother had gone back to college to get his degree, and it was the family dorm). A nursing student from across the hall, who was supposed to be babysitting the older boy, supervised until the emt's got there.
And the doctor who was supposed to do the delivery at the local hospital, who they had already called, sent them a bill for a delivery!
<< <i>Congratulations! RYK is also correct, no more sleep. >>
I read this at 4:30 am this morning if that gives you an indication of what you are in for. Not voluntarily either.
Congrats!
If Piper's birth is an omen expect a lot of surprises from her down the road!

You all look great and no worse for the wear!! Cheers to you and your family!!!

My son was born 3 month ago after 24h labor, no c-section, 9 lbs 14 Oz, 22,5'', so I guess my wife had just a little bit more fun than yours!
Happy Diapers Time!
Wishing you and your family all the best.
I PMed you a few days ago.
