Admin: Cigars All Around
Sorry for the delay, folks, and I can't thank Oliver enough for stepping into the breach and putting in a little blog action since Sunday.
Sunday night, after sitting around at our house thinking we were in labor but not knowing for sure, we headed to the hospital. There, we were informed that in fact our baby was coming, and we should settle in for a long night.
At three a.m., a heaping dose of anasthesia was administered, and the slow-chase to the finish was on.
By 11 a.m. Monday the 7th of July, my wife was pushing and I was pleading with her to push, and telling her how great a job she was doing, and dodging punches.
At 1:35 p.m. on Monday, the 7th of July, with a gasp and a huge, lung-filling cry, Reid Tarek joined this world. Weighing in at 7 pounds and 2 ounces, stretching to 19 3/4 inches, this little bundle is nothing but the most incredible gift I can give to the world, and the most incredible gift I have ever received.
I will blog again this afternoon if I can, between changing diapers and helping my wife with feedings and whatnot. Thanks to everyone who sent kind words as we went down this road. And wait'll you get a load of this kid. He's incredible.
Oddly enough, we've noticed that there is one particular mammary gland he favors. It's the left one. Hmmmm.
