Hello once again everyone. This is a post for those who've known who I am over the past 9 months!! It's been such an emotional rollercoaster and now as of today may 8th,2004 I am a father!!! My son weighed 7 lbs and 9oz!!! Kayla and I are sooooo happy and the baby is doing great!! Man what a day.....Its been a looooooong night last night and then long day today. Crystal its funny....You've been like exactly along with kayla the whole pregnancy. She started brxton hicks at 31 weeks!!!! We were all worried there for a couple weeks so she went on strict bedrest by the doc. Kayla lost her mucus plug last saturday morning and we figured it would be like the next day, but nope!! Then we had a doctor's appointment friday morning and she was dialated to 4 centimeters so the doc pushed around up there to kinda move things along. Kayla noticed a little wetness in her crotch, but didn't think anything of it. Then, everytime she went to the bathroom there was a cloudy fluid as well. We ended up going to the hospital late last night just in case. They found that her water had broken but it was a very very slow leak. The doctor came in this morning and poked the water open so that it gushed out,heh heh. Then everything sped up and before I knew it I was watching my son be born!!! Kayla did sooooo good. I was soooooo nervous like the whole time. Everyone thinks the baby looks very much like me,lol. I'm soooo happy!! His name is gabriel tyler!! Crystal I wish you soooo much luck with everything. Sounds like any day now for you too!! Good luck girl!!! Farah I hope you're doing good whatever you are doing!! Thank you to everyone else who has been there for me throughout all my long whiny posts over the past 9 months!!! I made it!!!!!! I'll still come back every once in a while to see how everyone is doing! Thanks guys!!

Congratulations on your new son. I just had my daughter on april 24th. She was 7lbs 15.8 oz. So they were pretty close in weight. So how does it feel to be a dad? I hope every thing works out wonderful for the three of you and wish you the best of luck. Congrats again.
