Life I'm about to be a dad! - Page 3

**Gonzo** · 09:21 AM

Well all, it's been a tough few days. My wife has been having contractions for about 59 hours and we've visited the hospital 3 times. She wouldn't dilate any so it looks like we are going to induce. They think the baby is turned the wrong way. (back labor) They gave her an epideral and she is finally getting some sleep.
They started the plutossin, (sp?) a few minutes ago which is like a fake hormone to induce labor.

After they sent us home yesterday she and I both thought the contractions were over for a while. I got up this a.m. and she was in tears. She had contractions for the entire night and didn't wake me up once. She decided I needed my sleep.

I hauled ass to the hospital again, this time I told them that if they were going to send us home I would take her to another hospital that will treat her. That got their attention and now it's all good.

I'm writing you all from her room while she's finally getting some sleep.

Excuse any typo's, im writing this from my cell.

I'll keep you all posted. Your thoughts are appreciated.

Edit:
We're one year old today. see post 45.

I'm used to not sleeping anyway. It's worth it. I can say that already.

Congrats, Dude!

If you haven't seen it, rent or buy the DVD "The Happiest Baby on the Block" by Dr. Harvey Karp.

It's a lifesaver.

Congratulations.

He'll be huge in no time. Cherish every day, babies grow and change at a ridiculous rate. I read somewhere once that if human beings continued their growth rate from their 1st year of life until we were full grown, we'd be the size of blue whales. Pretty crazy stuff. He's already got a ton of hair too.

My boy was 7 lbs. 13 oz. and 21 inches, and at 4 months he's 16+ lbs and 24 inches. They just get big so fast.

Be prepared for no sleep, but a shit load of fun!!

they go from sleeping all the time to never seeming tired and learning how to climb up onto ANYTHING , and waking up at 5am EVERY DAY inside 18 months.

Have fun!

And for some mystical reason, nothing will realy bother you anymore, ya kinda adopt the "who fuggen cares attitude" as long as the little fela is healthy and happy
