Oh! At first I thought you said it would be a great time to MAKE a baby.... in that case:

:) Well, baby is already made, but just being lazy about coming out. He really needs to! Today would be a great day to have a baby, too.
Thought of the day today: On the upside, I can't possibly be pregnant for the whole month of July, too.
And, July babies are nice... my last one was a perfect newborn, so hopefully this one will be as cooperative once he decides to get here.
Good for you Homey, but it would really mess me up... [ouch]
The 4th would be interesting!
Well, they scheduled me for induction Sunday morning at 5. Hospital claimed they couldn't schedule one before then... the doc wanted to do it today, but Sunday it is. Because of the gestational diabetes, they're kind of anxious to get him out because my sugar has been a problem off and on for the last week or so.... don't want an 11- pounder.
Homey will put you on my prayer list.
Babies on demand.. I like it. :)
Hope all goes well, Homey.
Well, Glenn, with all the others, I never wanted an induction. This is the first time EVER that I've been agreeable to the idea, but then I don't think I've ever been this miserable with a pregnancy before.... Plus being overdue isn't helping.
<hug>
I so understand, Last kid of mine was taken via C setion (and the only 1 of the 4) I had gestational diabetes and the baby was franked breeched. They took him two weeks early and was a 10 pound baby. If I waited he would have been 12 to 13 pounds....OUCHHHHHHHH!
Hope to hear more soon, Homey - had to check as I am working out of town and away from the net.... [waiting]
Her hubs has some pics of the little one posted on FB.
He's not giving me a lot of computer time! Went in Sunday AM as planned for induction, but was fortunately already in labor. Had some issues because he was over ripe (though not too big, thank God!) and because he insisted on being born sunny-side up. Doc (a former steer wrestler before she switched from pre-vet to pre-med) flipped him, but he flipped right back and came out the way he wanted. In case you've ever wondered, forceps look like flattened, dished golf clubs crossed with oversized salad tongs. Forceps + no pain meds = worse pain than I can describe, but thank goodness it was over with relatively quickly. He is a healthy 7 lb. 10 oz. and only 19.5 inches long, so nowhere near as big as feared.
Well, I will never look at tossed salad the same! bwahahahaha <hug>
Congratulations c* And the name is? ???
Way to go HT. Now if we just had a picture to go with the story. NO NO. I mean of the baby. ;D
What's this, like 6 now?
My first son had to get pulled out - mashed his head into the shape of a football.... fortunately baby heads are made of rubber and will bounce back into some recognizable shape in a short time. I didn't feel a bit of pain.... [ouch]
congratulations girl, thats fantastic news. have you guys picked a name yet? how are the big sisters doing with the new one?
also - yeouch@forcep description. could have done without that. :-[
It's Stink's fault... she wanted an update!! ??? His name is Daniel, and his sisters are crazy about him....poor boy will probably be the victim of a once a week extreme makeover. I'll try to get a pic up soon.
Reminds me of Daniel and the Lyon's den..... [waiting]

Congratulations, Homey! Daniel is a cutie! Can't imagine the forceps... I didn't have any pain medications either but didn't have to deal w/forceps.
Big kid, Stinkerbell :o Mine were 8 1/2 lbs & 9 1/2 lbs but not that bad... didn't have a C section - almost did but he came out before they had a chance :P
does this work?

crap. Apparently not. Good grief, I hope I don't have to go back and go through the tutorial on how to post pics all over again.

He's getting pretty cute... and smiling a lot now. :)
those of you with boys...do they ever start sleeping thru the night?? c*
If I remember right, my two boys were pretty good at sleeping by the time they were 16.
BTW: cute little fellow!
I have heard that cuteness in babies is an evolutionary development designed to make human parents want to take care of them.
Shucks, John. By the time I was 16 I was already sneaking out at night... [waiting]
Thanks, John. He is a lot needier than my girls were... they were happy to play by themselves or sit in a bouncy seat and watch the ceiling fans, etc. Not Daniel. He wants to be held all the time, and talked to. Thank goodness he has three older sisters to help me out or I don't think I'd be functioning too well right now. Going on three months of total sleeplessness now, and had trouble staying awake driving home from the city yesterday. Kept having to roll the windows down and turn the radio up and sing and whatnot just to keep my eyes open.
He's a cutie! Both my sons were sleeping approx 4-6hrs a night by 7 wks old. The oldest woke up every hr-2 hrs until right before I had to go back to work when he was 7 wks old - was worried about that... the oldest needed attention ALL the time, couldn't occupy himself for even a few minutes unless he was getting into things. My youngest was totally laid back - happy, laughing, never fussed - he was a lot of fun! They were totally different as babies & young kids.
HT not sure whether it is harder to get the little ones into bed or try to get a teenager up in the morning. ;) Almost a toss up. When Steven was born he apparently had his nights & days confused. It was a couple of 2-3 months before he actually started sleeping all night. When my wife had him she developed Mastitis and was put back into the hospital for several days. We would travel to the hospital in the day (3 hrs round trip)and pick up the breast milk she had stored and then back to keep him occupied all night. I think the first week I only got 2-3 hours. Boy was I glad to see his mom get out of the hospital.
He started off with days and nights pretty much mixed up, but now even though he is sleeping more, it is seldom more than 3 or 4 hours, and if he wets a diaper during the night, you might as well forget about sleep.... haven't figured out why he gets so upset over diapers, but it really makes him mad, and once he's worked up, takes him a while to simmer down again. To top it off, I'm once of those people who can't get back to sleep after getting awake. (Hmmm... maybe he takes after me?? ???)
