Apparently Ruth's water broke sometime today, but it was a pretty small trickle. It was starting to get heavier, so we went to the hospital, and it looks like we'll be here for the long haul. I'll try to post when there's more news.

(I'm secretly hoping it's a girl, just to throw a wrench into the gears a bit.)

If it's a girl, then I really don't know how to explain those bits between her legs that "she" waved at us during the ultrasounds.

April 4th is a great day. (My dad was born on this day 59 years ago). I hope Ruth has him before it's April 5th, just for her sake. [Smile] Good luck and hugs to you guys.

Hooray! Best of luck to the both of you. Especially you, Brinestone. I hope the labor goes well and the baby is healthy!

Have you picked out a sauce for the baby yet? And are you planning to grill or braise it? [Razz]

The baby was 7lbs. 13 oz. For extensive thoughts on first name, check out JB's blog: www.galacticcactus.com

Way to go! Am I right that this is the first met at hatrack couple>>baby?

Yaaaay! Hooray for babies! Hooray for Ruth!

But I totally disagree with him about naming a baby before it's born. It's fine if that's how he feels, but I would only change a name based on "meeting" the child under some very extreme circumstances.

Congratulations! Another Hatrack baby has come to join us.

I hope the new parents have given thought to the most important name of all--their son's screenname. [Big Grin]

Update:

We checked into the hospital a little after 9:00 last night because Ruth thought she was leaking amniotic fluid. We got checked in, and they tested the fluid and decided that this was the real deal. They started her on an oxytocin drip around midnight, and within a couple hours she was having good, hard contractions every two minutes, so they took her off the oxytocin and just let her body do its thing.

Labor and delivery all went pretty smoothly and pretty quickly (says the guy who just sat next to the bed and held her hand). They actually told her to stop pushing for a while to let her rest and to let the baby move down more on his own, and then they had her stop for a little bit again because the nurse was afraid the baby might arrive before the doctor.

The doctor arrived pretty soon after that, though, and at 6:33 we had ourselves a baby boy—7 pounds 13 ounces, 22 inches, and mostly resembling me, says Ruth. His name is Liam Gareth. He's been a pretty good boy so far—he's only really cried when they've been sticking him with needles and taking footprints and all that other torturous stuff.

And he really is a cutie. Pictures will follow later today.


I think pooka might be right—this might be the first true offspring of Hatrack. [Smile]

Liam Gareth's nice for the non-cyber world, but what's his cyber name?


Liam Boy?, Jon Baby?
