Posting from the hospital.... He's here! I have a son!

Yep... wife went into labor this evening at 8:30pm... it's gonna be a looooooooong night! Things are progressing slowly... but progressing.

There's NO TRUTH to the fact that we're naming him Christopher Andrew! .... but I pitched it! .... She shot it down image

Wish me luck!





oh ya... just to make this thread legal... '08 Bowman Chrome looks great, much better than the past few year's designs.

ALWAYS Looking for Chris Sabo cards!

    2:30am.... and still no baby. Getting closer though. Sorry Lee... she immed. veto'd Sabo for a first name. I actually never thought about it, but that would be unique.

    I'm STARVING and tired.... This is our second baby, amazing how much easier this one is compared to our first.

    Hmmm, maybe that's why it is taking so long ?
    Maybe the baby is a 10 pounder !

    Man that's got to hard to pass , When I was born my shoulders would not pass through , I was stuck , Mom dukes was layin in there 28 hrs !

    No wonder she hates me !

    Just kiddin , she don't hate me but if she did I could understand image

    I'm wishing you guys the best with your new baby and hoping everything is progressing nicely Sir.


  • onefasttalononefasttalon Posts: 1,207 ✭✭✭
    He's here! Born at 6:56am... 7 pounds, 7 ounces.... and a tiny 20 inches long.

    Mom and baby (Andrew) are doing great! I'm a blubbering idiot of course.

    I can't believe you didn't throw some "Rec-Specs" on that kid for his first photo. I'm a little disappointed.

    Congrats! Let the sleepless nights begin! image

    The good news is they do eventually sleep through the night and then eventually (as my 5 year old is now doing) start doing really fun stuff like T-ball, swim team, etc.... You have many good times ahead of you. Enjoy every day with little Andrew!
  • Congrats, make sure you buy Mommy something nice for all her hard work. Maybe a box or 2 to rip so she can pass the time until she is discharged image WTG!!!!! Andrew is beautiful, my sincere best wishes to you all.
