Small Beginnings - Final Update 6/18/04, ITEOTWAWKI, AIFF!

[Rel]

Just so all our readers know, Little Owen was born at 6am this morning and both mother and son are doing fine. So lets all hear it for the little tyke and his family.

Congrats Enk!

I desperately hope that his wife wasn't induced on the evening of the 22nd as was predicted by fett a few days ago. Going into that 3rd day of labor couldn't have been any fun.

In any event, I'd like to say, "Welcome to the world, Little Owen. We hope you enjoy your stay. "

When did I predict that? (Just curious, don't remember)

She was first induced Wednesday morning and did not give birth until early this morning (Friday) so Mrs. Enk went through a pretty rough time. We all hope she is resting well and that Enk gets some rest too. I'll let Enk give anymore details when he feels up to it.

The doctors are waiting right now to see what happens, but on current pace they will induce tomorrow at about 5 PM.

Sorry, fett, it was dshai.

fett, dshai, enkhidu. No wonder it gets confusing. Can't you people just have normal names like bob and joe and bob?

Blessings upon you all, congrats to Enk, wishes for speedy recovery and rest for Mrs. Enk and a warm welcome to little Enk.

We are all very happy for you.

OK! Quick update while I'm at home getting a shower and a clean set of cloths:

My wife and son have had one heck of a week! Recap in a nutshell - my wife and I arrived at the hospital on Sunday night/Monday morning, they tested her and decided to induce labor on Tuesday, a 12 hour attempt at induction failed on Wednesday, the second attempt on Thursday caused her to begin labor, but after about 18 hours with no progress (and several other complications I won't go into for those readers who want to believe that childbirth is "magic", like D'Shai) they decided to take my son by C-Section. So now my son will be able to fulfill all those prophecies about "men not of woman born" because a male doctor actually performed the operation. Cool!

Anyway, my wife is recovering from her C-Section right now, and my son is sleeping peacefully. Under the circustances (complications, premature baby, etc), I couldn't be happier and more relieved. Once I can take a pic of him that I feel is fit for public consumption (as in one where he is not hooked up to monitors left and right), I'll try to get it up here.

Thanks from both me and Mrs. Enk for all your well wishes, good thoughts, and prayers (except the ones to those elder gods - if pseudonatural creatures show up at my house asking for hair from my sons head for some unnatural cthonic ritual, I'm going to be pissed, dammit).

See you guys again soon!

Well, things are slowly but surely coming together on the home front, so if I were you, I'd expect to see another (albiet short) post sometime late this evening!

See you then.
