Thanks so much everyone. I could feel the love from all over the country, and so could our baby Madison. Both mom and baby are extremely healthy and mostly happy. She was born 7 pounds 12 ounces and was 20.5 inches long. Believe me I tried for a good old fashioned southsider name but since Rally Crede didn't go over to well, Madison was a good old fashioned Chicago name. And really very appropriate considering mom and I couldn't be more different in many respects that it would take someone like her to run right down the middle of both of us.

 

And now making her Soxtalk debut (we'll call this her first post when she joins, lol.)

 

Madison!!!

P.S. Don't tell Madison I was cheering for a boy... See page 2 of this thread.

My wife went 23 hours, including SEVEN hours of pushing!

:ph34r:

But our little girl is worth every second of it, and YES, that is VERY easy for me to say!!!

:D

 

Going back I had to respond... the wife had about 7 hours of labor, total. The hard pushing took about 45 minutes.

 

And I agree with you 100% about the last line :cheers

Girls are so cool  :headbang

 

And I gotta throw out the song my Dad used to play for me as a baby. This is an excellent beautiful short track off of Abbey Road.

 

Golden Slumbers

One day while Paul was visiting his father at his Cheshire home, he began playing the piano, and looked through a songbook that belonged to his step-sister, Ruth. (His father, James had remarried by this time.) In this book he came across a traditional lullaby by Thomas Dekker from the 17th century. But, as he was unable to read music, he began to make up his own melody and new lyrics, and "Golden Slumbers" was born.

 

Once there was a way, to get back homeward, Once there was a way, to get back home

 

Sleep pretty darling do not cry, and I will sing a lullaby, Golden slumbers fill your eyes, smiles awake you when you rise

 

Sleep pretty darling do not cry, and I will sing a lullaby

 

Once there was a way, to get back homeward, Once there was a way, to get back home

 

Sleep pretty darling do not cry, and I will sing a lullaby

7 hours......you just tell your wife she ( AND YOU!! ) got off LUCKY!!

My favorite quote from the Mrs. while she was in labor:

"Somebody get me out of here!!!"

....it about KILLED me that I couldn't respond when she said it.... :D :lol:

 

OHHH, I almost forgot this part!

when they gave her the epidural, they messed it up!

It only numbed her left side, so they had to ROLL HER ON HER SIDE WHILE SHE WAS IN LABOR to let the epidural fluids seep over to the other side!!!!

Modern medicine, my fat ass!!!
