It was a dark and stormy night. The snow was coming down fast and furious, then changing to sleet and ice. The roads were treacherous; people were stranded all over town. Even the hospital had trouble getting their shifts covered.
None of this prevented my baby from coming into the world!
Thom Robert was born at 7:31 Tuesday, February 12th 2008. I took mommy to the hospital at 9:30 that morning to be admitted. At around noon she was given some sort of pill to induce labor. That took several hours, so I went home and cleaned up a bit. By 5:30 or so her contractions were coming fast and heavy, so things went into motion. Eventually the pain got so bad she asked for an epidural, but before they got it to her the baby popped out! Everything's fine; he's got all the parts he's supposed to - ten up, ten down, one in the middle. After a clean-up he went right to mommy's boob and started nursing. After about an hour they took him away to the nursery for maintenance and check-up; 5.5 lbs and 18.5 inches. We were moved to another room and stayed there all night, nursing every two hours or so. We even got pizza delivered to the hospital.
I've got pics but I just got back home (the other two will be coming home tomorrow) and I need some real sleep so I'll put the pics up from work later on.
Woohoo!

Congratulations on your new Aquarius!
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
There, something to pin on the wall over his cradle.
Congrats man!

Congradulations on your new tax deduction!
Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
Congrats Debalic! Well done!

Pics are on my MySpace page, for those of you who use such techmology. If I'm not one of your friends, too bad! Just kidding, you can find me as Belhade through the other Asylumites.
