We had the baby!

[JayKeeley]

Last night (Aug 23rd) at 10:46pm EST. He's about a month early, but we were expecting that. He weighs 7lb 3oz, and everyone seems to be holding up just fine. 9 hours in labour 'aint so bad, heh.

His name is Sebastian.

woo!
is this the first? I can't remember. I think usually the more births the quicker they go once the sluices have been opened.

 

[Nate The Great]

Cool!

 

[Evil C.]

Right on! Congratulations!!!

 

[ProgMetalFan]

Congrats Ali ... awesome news !!!

 

[JayKeeley]

Thanks everyone.

He'll be in the N.I.C.U for a few days just because he arrived early, and boys lungs don't develop as quickly as girls so they need to feed him some oxygen and stuff. Heather's doing fine - she's walking about already and should be home tomorrow.

@lizard: This is our second. We now have a boy and girl. Chloe's got her 'I'm a big sister' t-shirt on already.

Everyone have a beer (or several) on me! Back to the hospital I go...

 

[Ayeka]

Fucking grand dude! That'll do you proud! I'll raise a glass to your clan on Friday

 

[mousewings]

people think this baby thing is so hard on the women but they don't realize how difficult it is for the husband/boyfriend. When my wife hit hour 16 I was totally ready for a nap but realized it wouldn't be cool if I valued my safety later

Congrats dude!! Nothing like it in the world. My wife and I have an 18 month old and are expecting our second in March.
