Knocked Up Rollcall

How/why did you end up having a C-section (if I'm allowed to ask)?

Well I was getting induced 2 weeks before the due date because I had some mild pre-eclampsia symptoms and my dr didn't see any point to risking it getting worse if Henry was already full-term. When we got there he got ready to break my water but after a quick check realized H was sitting really high and there was something next to his head. The concern was that it might be the umbilical cord and if he broke the water the umbilical cord would go out before Henry blocking off his oxygen. My doc gave us two options - induce and wait to see if he moved into place and that the object moved away from his head or go straight into a C-section. We went for the former. After an hour everyone was very suprised to find he had moved a down a little and that the umbilical cord was not coming out first ( no one expected anything to change until noon - 4 hours away). So the vaginal birth was on and my dr broke my water predicting a noon time birth. I held out on the epidural for a few hours but caved little after noon. Aftr some waiting we all realize the epidural didn't work. In all of this time I'm only 2 more cm dilated and Henry is still up really high and is showing no signs of moving. The dr and the anesthesiologist have a powwow and propose to us that the smartest thing to do at this point is go back to the c-section option because it's beginning to look like a 36+ hr labor which they don't feel good about in an already dodgy situation. By this point I'm ready to get this kid out so we say okay. In we go and 15 min later out comes H with the umbilical cord wrapped twice around his neck. It wasn't choking him because he was still up so high. Had we waited for him to drop it would have gotten very tight and who knows where we'd be right now. Phew.

OMG Sunny! What a story. I am so happy he came out happy 'n' healthy. <3 <3 <3

I was getting very tense reading your account even though I knew it ended well. So glad it's over!

wwwwowww

way 2 go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations! Hope you're all home soon and coping with being the parents of two!

Congrats!

BTW I became an uncle this morning ^_^

xpost hahaha Oh man. People warned me how much more work it'd be but I was totally naive about it. :-)

awww congrats, Dan!

Honestly the only problem we've had so far is when Beeps is in a tantrum and then Henry starts with the crying. That's only happened once though.

Congrats dude! :-)))) Having babies is the bestest thing in the fucking world. :-)

It makes me sad: I wish I could have more babies. I mean, I could, but I think we'll stick to two. Which saddens me in a way. Ah well.

wait, omg congratulations to you guys!!!

Wooooooo!

:)

thanks to all the bros and bro-ettes for their hearty congrats

srsly dude so pumped about this

^^^^will personally deliver babby

bit late to the party, but congratulations!

when is the due date?? are you going to find out the sex? how is the pregnancy going? puking? nightmares? or happy glowing times???

Sunny I saw you updated this and was all, "OMG, another one??" lol.

congratulations!

haha, E. I wish! No more for us. I got a stupid disease called Adenomyosis (sp?) from the last minute c-section w/ Henry and now ive got to have a hysterectomy in 2 weeks from today :( So lame.

Oh Sunny I'm sorry to hear that. Just looked it up - sounds pretty damn painful! Hope everything goes well with the op and that your recovery is quick and smooth.

Thanks. They say its a 2 week recovery. Weird thing is the recovery period ends on Beeps 3rd birthday. Its like some perfect life circle or something.

hi Sunny! Due date is July 26. We are going to find out the gender but it's still too early (we're at 15 weeks now). Sarah had really bad day-long morning sickness (no puking but lots of general nausea and not being able to think of foods she wanted to eat) for a few weeks near the end of the first trimester; she actually lost a little weight between her first and second appointments. But that is almost all gone now and now she's mainly just tired and hungry all the time. Lots of crazy hectic life stuff going on in addition to the pregnancy but the baby seems to be coming along nicely.

Ahhhhhh!!! So Mrs. Kongvsgodzilla just had a positive pregnancy test and now she's running around telling everyone in town before I even have a chance to process the news and now my 5-year-old wants to know how the baby got inside of mommy's belly!!!! Ahhhhhh!!!

But overjoyed, really. : )

hurrah!

Congrats!

Awww so many yays!!! for n/a and kkvsg

Ow Sunny. Wish I could hug you. :-( That sounds awful. :-((((( Huggggggssss.

lol heres hoping for a kingkong instead of a godzilla (cuter, likes the ladies and buildings so will become an architect.)

My wife was appalled to learn that I have not announced the impending birthing of our son on or abouts November 2nd. So now I have!

congrats!

golly gee, congratulations! Are you gonna name him Magnar Thorklesson? That would be a great name.

Putting that name on the list definitely, but wife has final veto power.
