Well... my wife just surprised me a little bit. She just finished with a weekly checkup at the OB/GYN, looks like our baby will be coming a week or so early!

She's been having high blood pressure, and apparently that can cause issues if we wait, so they're going to induce tomorrow evening.

If any of you are praying folks, I'd really appreciate you sending some up on our behalf [BD] :eek:

Thoughts and prayers sent man! My first nephew was born last Wednesday, and until then I didn't know it was possible to love someone that much, and he's not even my own.

Praying that you have a healthy baby and everything goes smoothly from here on out!

Is this your first? Boy or girl?
Kids are awesome. We had our second in July, and our first just hit his "terrible two's"
Having a quiet house is waaaay overrated ;)

Best wishes to you and the mrs. Praying for a healthy baby and no complications during delivery!

Thanks everyone. This is our first, expecting a girl. I'm half overwhelmed right now, getting everything situated with my superiors so I'm where I need to be.

The timing actually works out better this way. Her original due date was set less than a week before I TDY for a month...

Heard that. My brothers wife was induced last Monday and he baby didn't come til Wednesday. He said Thursday night the baby cried for over an hour and he was dead to the world. Not asleep, but so sleep deprived that he didn't even hear the baby going nuts.

Congrats on the little one. Cinnamon is great for lowering blood pressure. As a dad of 2 the best advice I can give is DO NOT let them vaccinate your baby. The side effects are devastating. Do some research on the topic and regardless of what they say you can opt out of them.

Quick update, we're at the hospital now; she's been given the initial treatment to start the birthing process. The nurses were talking like the show will start tomorrow, so we'll see. Thanks again everyone for the prayers and support!

Our little boy is due on the 6th of November so I understand how your feeling!

I'll be praying for a quick and healthy pregnancy for your family. Is this your first?

Yeah, first one. I'm still doing my best not to think about it, I don't want to panic or anything... [BD]

No need to panic. My little girl is the best thing to ever happen to me.

If I could only give you one piece of advice it would be patience. Lots and LOTS of patience ;)

Wish I could change my wife's mind. She decided she didn't want kids. With her being diabetic the window is closing fast on when we could safely have one.

No show so far. The first stimulant they tried didn't really work, so they're trying a more potent one, that takes longer to work. Playing the waiting game...

Camomike, sorry to hear your wife doesn't want kids... I know it's not the same, but if she changes her mind after the window, you could try adoption

The doc just came and checked up on things. This induction drug is working better than the first, there is a little bit of progress. Doc didn't give a timeline other than the drug device can come out around 1 AM, so my guess is things will go down tomorrow.

Liquid diet while the drugs are doing their thing... she's not the happiest about that!

My wife was having high blood pressure before my daughter was born. She was about a week late anyway by that point so they were inducing anyway. Good luck to you guys! Prayers heading your way! Keep us updated brother!

My wife delivered all, but one, naturally. She really wanted an epidural for the sixth child. She has a blog and insisted on taking a picture before we left for the hospital. The babies head engaged and the water gushed out while she was posing for the, "leaving for the hospital" picture. She still posted the picture and we barely made it to the hospital on time. It was too late for the epidural so that blog post saved me $1200! :) "Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward." Psalm 127:3

Quick update; They broke her water around 12:30, and she was progressing fairly well. The contractions started to become too painful this evening, especially hurting her back, so she went for the epidural. She's feeling much better now, and might even get some sleep before the baby comes.

Almost there!

Congratulations man! Enjoy it, she will grow quick. My nephew is 8 days old, born at 8lb 12.5oz, 21 inches, and he is already bursting out of his 3 month clothes.

Sidebar: I bought him a plush largemouth bass and I got him to clamp it's lip in his tiny little fingers this morning. He's gonna be the best fishing buddy I've ever had

We're working through a little bit of jaundice right now. Momma's not getting much sleep from worry and having to feed every couple of hours.

We named her Audrey, after relatives on both sides, and because my wife is a big fan of Audrey Hepburn
