Oh my word Sara! This is so funny and the dad sounds like a typical guy! My dh asked to stay at work when I went in to have our ds (The answer was NO!)
This is simply fabulous. How great that he wrote all that out (all though I have to say I would be right there with you and the nurse with the "look") What a great guy you have. I love the papers, and I love how you used that frame. I think that if I would have seen it by itself I would have hated it, but you made me love it. WONDERFUL!!!
oh this something to be treasured. My dh can't remember anything from the birth of our baby. It's so great that you could capture these memories. great job!
LOL I got all excited about the journaling while I was waiting for the page to load... but then I forgot to look at the actual page before I commented! I love the paper and the little frame you put it in... This is definitely going into my favs! :)
Birth announcement for Connor...his dad, George, is a good friend of ours and he wrote the journaling on the left. It was the e-mail we received announcing his birth. He is a police officer so that is why the hours are in military time.
The journaling (e-mail) is: He’s Here! Connor Steven Luskey was born on 03-03-05 at 0309 hrs. He weighed in at 8.5 pounds and is 19 inches long.
Let me give you a quick run down of the night’s events:
1700 hrs) Shelly’s water breaks. Get overnight bag and drop off Emily at grandparents. 1800) Arrive at the hospital. 1900) Try to find hockey tourny on TV. 1901) Can’t find the game. Go to McDonalds and eat. Pickup a subway for Shelly. 1930) Find game on the TV. Doctor says it’s going to be a long night since contractions haven’t started yet. (do I really need to be here then?) 1935) Shelly says yes I have to be here. 2000) Nurse tells Shelly to walk around to try and get contractions going. I explain to the nurse that I must stay in the room for the game. Nurse and Shelly give me a dirty look. 2001) Walk around hospital with Shelly for 45 minutes. 2100) Find out that Shakopee lost the hockey game. Watch CSI NY. 2200) Watch the news. Shelly complains of some back pain. I tell her my legs hurt from all the walking. 2300) Nurse hooks up the Pitossin to start contractions. (couldn’t I have went home at 1900 hrs and came back now?) 2330) Try to get some sleep. 0100) Contractions finally start. Shelly complains of more pain. I tell her my ass hurts from sitting all night. 0101) Shelly throws a roundhouse punch that misses. 0130) Doc puts the epidural in... bye-bye pain. 0200) I get some munchies to eat and watch the movie “Dave”. Shelly sleeps. (hmmm, I could use a beer with my munchies) 0230) Contractions are stronger now and Doc is paged. 0259) Shelly starts pushing. I still need a beer. 0309) Connor is born! I have a son! 0430) I return home and have a beer.
Paco the papa (again)
