We wanna know the specs? you know... bore, stroke, displacement?

The plan was to do the birth as natural as possible with no pain meds but she was 2 weeks late and had to be induced. They gave her an epidural after 14 hours with no progress to relax her and we still had no progress after 5 more hours and the baby had a couple deceleration episodes so we had to do a Ceaserian birth. All is ok though, the end product is a perfect baby. It could have gone way worse and Tiff is now appreciating what we have and what could have been.
Title: Re: congrats to 'Big Boss Man' John Bates Post by: Rennsurfer on August 26, 2009, 04:53:25 am AWESOME, John! Same exact weight as my older son (now 18). My wife had both of our sons (2nd one was 10lbs. 4oz.) fully natural, in our bedroom. Same bedroom that I grew up in, too.
Stoked to see people having kids. It'll be the most rewarding responsibility you'll ever be involved with. Glad to hear that August (great name, btw) and Mom are doing well.

Title: Re: congrats to 'Big Boss Man' John Bates Post by: Rennsurfer on August 26, 2009, 06:25:08 am Mark, your 18 year old weighs eight pounds? Yes, I chose to save lots of money in order to build my list of European cars, travel, surf, and hit skateparks. So starving the kiddies was the only viable option. He hates me, but I understand. Back on topic; Bates, is this your first child? Title: Re: congrats to 'Big Boss Man' John Bates Post by: John Rayburn on August 26, 2009, 07:39:19 am As long as he understands.

Seems like yesterday when he was born. How's he doing? Tell him Uncle Jim said "hi" Title: Re: congrats to 'Big Boss Man' John Bates Post by: Rennsurfer on August 27, 2009, 05:19:20 am No, first with the new wife though. I've got 2 boys with Sheep's sister ages 9 and 13. Right on, John. |
