I got a call from my wife's OB just before five tonight (well last night b/c it's now Saturday!) and she said that due to pre-eclampsia, and signs of potential danger to my wifes health, she wants to do a C section in a couple of hours. I have to say, I almost sh!t my pants (due date, 38 weeks, was 8/9.). I had to be strong for my wife who was REALLY freaking out, and was so glad I was 13 days sober (and counting!!).
Well, there were plenty of scary moments between then and midnight, but my sons were born at 11:09 and 11:13, framing our special time of 11:11. Both cried out loudly, the sweetest sound I've ever heard (because it meant their lungs were strong enough to breathe on their own!). Names aren't finalized yet, but "A" was 5.8 and "B" was 5.3 lbs. Mother and boys doing very well. I'm crashed in the maternity room, going home and NOT DRINKING when she's able to come here from recovery room.
If it werent for MWO I probably would have been a few Heinekens and maybe some tequila buzzed when that call came, and probably would have sucked down a few more, or at least grabbed a few to stash in the car. Instead I was present and clear headed through the process, and my wife saw me balling my eyes out when they put those babies in my arms moments after birth! I couldn't be happier, and now that it's day 14, I'll celebrate with some Armold Palmer later! :h:h:h:h
