OT: I'm pretty much freaking out right now...

Little War Stoops (our first) is due in less than 24 hours. He's breech so they are going to try an external version at 6:00 AM Monday. If that works, we'll go straight to inducement. If not, we'll go straight to C-section.
For nine months I've gone through periodic phases of excitement, stress, joy, and utter terror. Right now, it's terror. Starting tomorrow, my needs are secondary and I so hope I don't screw things up.
So send some good karma my way and say a little prayer if that's your thing. Hopefully, I'll be back soon with good news.
While I'm at it, thanks for six-plus years of virtual friendship. You guys are fucking awesome...even you Trixie.

My sister was born breech; that was in the prehistoric times of 1952....
You have absolutely nothing to worry about...congratulations in advance...
If the kid is absolutely gorgeous, let me know, I'll send at least a dime a month child support...

Awesome. I remember it like it was yesterday. There is no feeling like it in the world. It was the most emotional thing I have ever been through. I cried more than he did.

EXCELLENT NEWS!
I look forward to the day when I have the child that Drunk Mike will name!
By the way, I plan on screaming from the moment of conception, through the gestation period, up until the christening.

What? Not giving up the name?

Congrats. Hope he doesn't get colic. My boy has had a double ear infection, nasal and throat congestion and 101+ temp for 5 days now. Up until 5 days ago, the most he cried in a day total was maybe 15 minutes and he's 5 months old. He's cried for 5 days straight...even while he sleeps. ZombieFrisco is me. (I know...I'm a downer)

P.S. I know there are some here with MUCH worse problems that what I've had for 5 days with my kid. Not trying to be dramatic here.

You will come to learn grass hopper that if you are doing it right as a parent, there is no larger drama than your child suffering.

Trust me, I know. Until 5 days ago, he never really fussed at all. Seeing him suffer like this and constantly crying knowing there is nothing I can do about it kills me. What hurts the most is when he is cying and looking right into your eyes with that "Why can't you make this stop?" look. I hate it.

Big time Congrats Stoops!!! I hope mom is healing up OK..
Now you can start the sports indoctrination process by popping in old game tapes. :wink: Just make sure that your babysitters are sooner fans. I made the mistake of letting my sister babysit my oldest( 8 ) . And now the seditious little ingrate wants to go to a candyass nonfootball college(Creighton). Needless to say I gotta plan a full metal jacket style blanket party for the boy's next birthday party :D ..
