Very amusing picture of my oldest boy at wife's baby blog page at blogspot
So i was off on sunday and woke up early and heard that the cubs were playing at 7pm in milwaukee to make up their houston game. I look online and find that a million great tickets are available (whereas all home games and all road games against the cards and brewers are sold out). I really, really feel like staying home, so I don't make an effort to go see the game. And we get our first no hitter in 36 years. What the hell is that?
Kinda delinquint on this entry.BigJ was not lying. I could wax on about the days leading up to the birth and lead you to a site with pictures, but it would be much easier to lead to a site with both:
Mary's Baby(ies) blog page
For anyone interested:my wife and I are on week 33 or so with twins. About a week and a half ago she started having contractions every 2-4 minutes, so we jumped to the hospital thinking that babies were coming. She has a condition named placenta previa, which just means that the placenta is blocking the cervix, meaning if the cervix dilates, it aint a baby that's going to be pushed through. If we weren't in the 21st (or 20th) century, it would mean that the placenta would get screwed up, meaning that the baby and mom would get screwed up too. All it really means now is that if she starts bleeding, we gotta do a c-section quick to make sure babies aren't harmed.
Anywho, she was given steroids to strengthen the babies's lungs, and magnesium as a muscle relaxant to keep the contractions down. This was meant to try to prolong giving birth for at least another 48 hours. Luckily, the magnesium quited down the contractions altogether to one every 15 minutes or so. (my wife's cervix was/is not at all thinned out so far, so these weren't those movie scene contraction scenes...no pain or anything). We only spent about 40 hours in the hospital and have been back home since. Due date is february 27th (37th week), but I'm not thinking we're gonna make it that far...but regardless, Im happy they didn't pop out that week. That would have sucked

Congratulations jeremy. It's awesome that everything was scheduled and complications-free, and hopefully worry-free. If you have any in-depth descriptions/observations of your c-section day, I'd be really interested to hear them. We have encountered a problem that will force mary to get a c-section, but it's not too uncommon of a condition, especially with twins. She's not too eager to get the knife... Ours will be scheduled as well, but there's some probability that we may have to go through with it before then. It ain't for another few months, so she's going to have plenty of time for c-section anxiety :)Im sure you felt that crazy, indescribable feeling when Aria was first born...I can't wait to feel that again
