Still have some friends over here who may be interested in this:
So yesterday my wife and I went to the doctor in the early afternoon. She wasn't progressing, so we scheduled an induction for next Tuesday.
Fast forward 8 hours and I had to type "Sorry, I have to leave the WZ... My wifes water just broke." Best-reason-ever.
Fast forward 15 hours and:

Say hello to little Fuse.

Enjoy every sleepless moment. They pass way too quickly.

Dude, I'm so friggin happy for you. He looks healthy and beautiful and Jess and I are sending lots of mental hugs and positive thoughts your way my friend. I had no idea how scary it would be taking my daughter home for the first time. I was scared I was going to break her and kept thinking "holy crap, they totally let me take a tiny human home". It's easy to go bananas on all the small things and freak out over every tiny sneeze, bump or cry. Don't worry though my friend, they thrive despite us. :D
Everyone went on and on and on about "Prepare to never sleep.... you have no idea how hard this is going to be.... blah blah" all the negative stuff. But truly no one ever told me of how much fun I'd have having a little ankle biter. It's sort of like start life over all over again and seeing everything for the first time. All over again. I can't tell you how much fun I had just carrying Lilly around and watching her just take it all in... point at stuff... and when she could sorta talk she'd ask "WASSAT?" (What's that). Oh man, I had so much fun explaining the world to her.
It's super fun. Everyone likes to warn you about all the hard stuff but man it's the most fun ever.
I can't wait to see more pics and hear how you guys are doing. Give your wife our best and wish her a fast and easy recovery will ya? Being a Dad is incredibly fun and I'm excited to hear about you doing all kinds of neato fun Dad stuff.
First question! I know you've either already bought or have been eyeballing some geeky onsies. eh? eh? Whatcha got in mind?

No worries about the postman being involved :)
15 hours labour?!! Give your lady some props for that!
The next one will be much faster ;)
(BTW, you said that you might be Orlando bound soon, or am I trippin' ? Will be over that way again first week in July if you are there.)

HE seems to get most his traits from his mother, though occasionally look like an angry old man.

"next one"? HA! You're a funny guy, Ket. :)

Ha, I put in "he" and looked back and saw you referenced "she"... but didn't reread that sentence was talking about your wife... so substituted that :D

Congrats again!

:) My wife was amazing.
She was pushing for less than an hour. When the doctor got in it was about 60 seconds until the next contraction hit and his head was out - so the doctor must have loved her.
As for Orlando, I have an interview on Tuesday for Publix, and if that goes well they'll want to bring me down there - but I have no clue what it would take them to get me to accept an offer. Yes, there are many pros, but many cons as well. We've had our hearts set on Austin, but this was an opportunity where they called me, so it may be a good one.

I think the first one I get him will be matching shirts. Mine will be an Android 1.0 shirt, and his will be an Android 2.0 onesie. :)
Thanks for you words, man. You hit on exactly how I've been feeling. So much negativity about how life won't be same, without the joy of what's to come. The kid has been here for almost 31 hours now and those people were right, life isn't the same. I'm ok with that. I'm sure he'll be a pain in my ass someday, but not today.
Yeah, tomorrow I get to take him home and the real fun without the safety net of a hospital and frequent checkups begins.
Fun times.

Awesome job to you and your wife, simply amazing.

Hey, happy Father's Day!

For the next 10 or so years, you'll have someone living in your house who believes in magic. Embrace that and enjoy!

I had a great reply. But the damn website kept saying "Failed to load user module."
Not gonna redo the great story again.
Just gonna say congratulations to you both. Happy Father's Day.
