OMFG! Her waters, they have broken! Wish us luck, MeChaZens, for we are going to be having a baby later this morning.

Good luck. I hope it's not too painful for Mrs Fenriq. I've heard childbirth described as something akin to shitting a watermelon.

Hoping all goes well for you, her and the baby.

Get some sleep. Write it down. You'll need to remember that you had sleep.

Is it going to be "papa", "daddy", or "sir, yes sir!"?

Mazel tov, fenriq.

Actually, that's Bill Cosby's line. "Presenting, the breathing Cosbys!" Oh man, I love him so.

CONGRAT FENRIQ! We cannot hardly wait for pictures (but we will wait until you've cleaned all the gook off).

So... any news yet? We demand minute-by-minute updates!

posted by TrishaLynn 09 May | 09:40

Good luck!

posted by Hugh Janus 09 May | 09:41

Quick update before I go out to walk the dog (no really).

Nine or noon shall be the delivery via C-section. Problem is, we don't know which it will be so we're just planning on being there in a little while.

It will likely be several hours before I can get back and update but I will do it as soon as I can.

Thanks everyone!

And, once the baby's born, I'll pass along his name (don't want to jinx the works, ya know?).

Nine or noon shall be the delivery via C-section.

Should be fine, but when the kid grows up, he'll always leave buildings through the window.

posted by jonmc 09 May | 09:51

Can't wait to hear! Good luck to all!

I'll think good, happy thoughts for the little one to enter the world to. (how's that for a poorly constructed sentence? Where's dame?)

I'm late too - you're probably mama & papa fenriq by now. Congratulations!

posted by chewatadistance 09 May | 11:01

Nah, we're on a holding pattern, someone else scooped the surgery room for the 9 am slot, we're on target for noon now.

Never too late!

And, again, thanks everyone!

posted by arse_hat 09 May | 11:22

Are there stirrups for a C-section? That seems like overkill.

Best of luck to you all, and congrats!

Quick update while I'm boomeranging home to get the hound to the Pet Resort: our scheduled surgery has been pushed back to 5 pm PST, the hospital is just about full of patients so time is tight.

And everyone just loves spending more time rather than less in the hospital, don't they?

Anyway, no news except that there's no news yet. Stay tuned!

New leveret in the house! Congratulations!
