Default It's a BOY!

Hey guys! I haven't gotten to the pm's yet so I figured I would just post the info. here instead.

Mom and baby are doing well and seem to be perfectly healthy. Definitely a sigh of relief after the emergency C-section yesterday. I've never seen a hospital room fill up so fast, alarms going off, Doctors running in, Nurses running in, etc., seriously, about a dozen people or more came running in our room all within just a few minutes, and the total elapsed time from when they realized they needed to "get him", to here he is, was less than 30 minutes, spinal block and all. Thank goodness that within all of the chaos the staff was able to operate so efficiently and effectively and everyone is doing great!

Thanks for the pm's and for thinking of us!

Congrats! Now try to remember what a good nights sleep feels like, because once mom and baby get home, you won't be getting any for awhile.

Congratulations! It's nice to hear things worked out well. That sounded like it was a little scary.

Aint that the truth. Mines 10 wks old and we're still barely able to stay awake.

Congrats, enjoy the baby. I'd rather be a dad than have a race car.

Thanks guys.

We've defintely met our kiddy quota, a daughter that will be 2 next month and now this new baby boy, we're finished. My daughter has been staying with her Grandparent's for the past couple of days and has visited here some yesterday and today. Her reaction to everything is comical. She's certainly excited that there is a baby laying there, but she's a long way from putting together that he'll be her little brother forever.

Congrats on the new garage helper! As he gets older all you will have to do is show up with your helmet, hop in and drive!

Glad everyone is ok!

Two things. Make sure you take some positive action to make SURE you're finished! We did that after our son was born (well, I did) and all is well.

Second, congrats on the 2nd pit rat! Now you've got enough for a real crew, one to cheer you on, the other to eat your sandwich!

Glad to hear everyone's OK, that chaos you saw was probably well organized; those teams are fantastic!

Have a good one,
Mike

Great news, Robert. Congratulations. Just remember, two ain't twice as much fun (trouble) as one .... it's exponential. Keep us posted on what you have for sale now!!!!

This one has been cracking me up ever since I read it!

Thanks guys for the congrats. We all came home yesterday and picked my daughter up from her Grandparent's house...I still don't think she realizes he's not just here to play.
