[smith288]

Pray as this is about 1 month early (due Apr 14).

Cya! :D

[ghettochild]

gl bro, boy, girl, or suprise?

[smith288]

As I wait for my parents, ill go ahead and post... lol

We decided not to find out... all of ours were like that. Makes the dad's job so much fun when the family waits. :D

[KronoRed]

Congrats :)

[RedFanAlways1966]

Way to go, smith! Hope everything goes as planned. :)

[Yachtzee]

Congratulations Smith. Looks like #3 couldn't wait until Opening Day. :) I hope everything goes well.

[RFS62]

Good work, Smith!!!!

:beerme:

[smith288]

Im back folks and looks like #3 didnt want to make an appearance quite yet. The docs were dumbfounded. All signs pointed to labor... contractions, dialation but then it all just stopped after she took a nap. So it looks like ill have to wait a little longer.

[WVRed]

I was thinking Earnhardt for some reason.

Vrooooooooooooooom!

[Roy Tucker]

We've got 3 kids. A good number.

The only problem is, you are ounumbered by the enemy. There are more of them than there are of you. Learn to juggle.

I also found that after child #3, I ceased being endlessly patient. In order to prevent an all-consuming outbreak of chaos from breaking out, you learn to run a tight ship. I'll have a discussion, explain myself, listen to their side, tolerate a little foolishness, but then we're done. And when I say done, I mean D-O-N-E.

[smith288]

I hear ya Tucker... We already run a tight ship. We have a schedule marked down on the inside of our pantry, we allot times for playing on the computer (they are smart 4 and 5 1/2 yr olds :D ) and they help clean up.

We will need the help from the other kids when this one finally does decide to make an appearance.

I dunno...we will be outnumbered and lil miss thang Lauren is a spark plug. Haha.

[bucksfan]

Good luck, smith. I am sure it will all go fine.

[smith288]

Ok folks... NOW i think its a go... Wish us luck! Pray for a healthy delivery for us.

good luck man.:thumbup:

[RedsBaron]

Good luck.
We have three kids. Once you add a third kid, you are outnumbered and can no longer play a man-to-man defense; you have to play a zone.

it always seems to happen in the night owl hours huh. why can't the babies pop out during like lunch or something :bang:

hahahaha


gl again bro

[Ravenlord]

any news Smith?

[smith288]

News is she lasted until her due date which is 14th (tomorrow).

Since she is carrying so large (she is only 5'1"), the doc schedule induction for 7:30 am Good Friday.

Im actually quite astonished we made it this far with how close we were when I originally made this thread.

So no rushing in the we hours of the night (unless of course now baby #3 decides the night before it wants to come).

This is much better. Kids at my parents, went out to Olive Garden for a relaxing evening. Come home and watch The Office.

[RedFanAlways1966]

If it happens today, smith, it will be on the Hit King's birthday.

[GAC]

Remember.... when she is going through the actual labor.... stay at least an arms length away from the wife.

They do strange things when in labor, and the last thing they need to hear from the man who put them in that position is "breath honey, now push!"

Like we've ever been there? ;)

Most sailors would have covered their ears having to listen what was coming out of my wife's mouth when delivering #3.

[smith288]

Hey folks...got connected in the "birthin' room" via dialup...how the heck does ANYONE live with dialup Ill never understand.

May or may not update throughout the process today. Depends how things go. :)

Pete's birthday is today? Lets hope this one stays away from compulsive gambling.

Okay, if you are really posting updates on Redszone from the birthing room, you're a Redszone addict.

[Yachtzee]

Oh, and good luck smith, I hope all goes smoothly. :thumbup:

[smith288]

Nothing else to do..the wife isnt in huge pain yet and its better than watching Dr freaking Phil.

[Red Leader]

Amen, brotha!

Hang in there. Wait it out, keep yourself rested until you are needed. Best of luck to the wife, and congrats to you both.

[smith288]

[Yachtzee]

Right now he's working as one of those stress toys. If the wife needs something to hit, punch, squeeze, chew on, or just hold on to, he's there. ;)

[smith288]

Baby's sleeping and the wifes relaxing...now we wait for the barrage of family and friends.

[RedFanAlways1966]

Great news!! We all know that smith did all the hard work to bring about his latest additon...

:thumbup:

[smith288]

The only thing i have to show for it is a hurt hand from my wife's death grip...

[KronoRed]

That's just the start ;)

[sonny]

[smith288]

Thought I would bump this thread as #3 turns 5 today. Time has flown by and she aint no baby anymore. :(

[Unassisted]

Thought I would bump this thread as #3 turns 5 today. Time has flown by and she aint no baby anymore. :(They do have a tendency to do that. My "baby" is almost 10 years older than yours. He's about as tall as I am and has a baritone voice that's about an octave lower than mine. Don't be wistful. The ride is just beginning for you. :beerme:

[smith288]

Thanks... 5 yrs just flies by. Need for it to go a tad slower.

[Roy Tucker]

My "baby" daughter is graduating from high school this year.

Where did the time go?

:) :(
