Title: It's a girl!
Post by: eskimo2 on December 28, 2001, 03:13:00 PM: It's a girl!

Brigitta (Bri-gee-tah) Kelly Hall
Born December 15th at 8:22 P.M.
4 pounds 3.5 ounces
16 3/4 inches

She came 6 weeks early, but was 100% healthy and vigorous. Sure surprised the heck out of my wife and I by her early arrival and health. She never had any respiratory problems or needed any oxygen, in fact she screamed like a bat almost nonstop for the first day and a half until she got a decent meal. She was delivered by caesarian-section and my poor wife was so drugged-up that she couldn't hold or feed her baby for 24 hours. She was so sensitive to the morphine that she couldn't remain conscious and upright for more than 30 seconds at a time. Brigitta remained in the Special Care Nursery for 9 days. Mother and baby are well and home.

We had only been in Ohio 4 days before my second daughter let us know that she wanted out. Joan and I spent the early part of December packing a Ryder moving truck and finishing last minute fixes on our house in Colorado Springs. We had an uneventful drive to Ohio and I managed to unload the very-full 24 foot truck in a little more than a day. As planned, we moved in with my wife's parents and plan to stay until I have a job that will qualify us for a loan on our own home. My in-laws saved the day by taking care of Svea (daughter #1) so that I could stay with Joan in the hospital for the 7 days that she was admitted. We spent the next 5 days driving back and forth to the hospital 3 times a day so that Joan could breast-feed. Brigitta came home on the 23rd. And on the 24th we received a decent offer on our house in Colorado.

Post by: eskimo2 on December 30, 2001, 11:24:00 AM: CC that Mr. RiplEy.

Both of our Daughters were breach, and therefore delivered caesarian-section. It's pretty freaky to watch someone reach into your wife's stomach and pull out your child. As safe and routine as caesarian-sections have become, it's still a pretty major surgery and my concern for the well being of both my wife and child was intense.

We didn't find out what we were having before-hand. Apparently the vast majority of folks choose to find out the sex of their child before it is born. Much better to wait until birth, IMO.

Post by: mrsid2 on December 30, 2001, 11:35:00 AM: Yeah, but watching it happen the natural way can be pretty freaky too!

I was sucking more laughing gas than my wife LOL. Our boy took over 12 hours to come to this world and it was quite horrible watching my wife in agony for all that time.
Title: It's a girl!
Post by: eskimo2 on December 30, 2001, 12:14:00 PM: Either way Rip, it's a horrifying, blessed, freak-show of a miracle!

They gave my wife a couple of steroid shots that help the baby's lungs get ready and some magnesium stuff that delays contractions and birth so that the lungs can mature. The lungs are the last organs to develop and the greatest cause of concern in premature babies. All together, 58 hours of labor, not full blown labor, but not like she slept through the whole thing either.

Seriously, aren't you French guys supposed to be suave and irresistible? WTF's wrong with you? :) Find yourself a rich local, pour on the French charm, buy a ring and all of your problems are solved! (Or would they just be beginning?)

Good luck dude.
