Hello everyone! Well Monday (Oct 3, 2011) My baby girl Rayne (pronounced Rain, some people actually say Rayna), was delivered by emergency cesarean at 1:01pm. She was 6lbs 8oz and 18.5" long. To make things short and sweet, her mothers blood pressure shot up to 160/120, putting them both at risk. She was due on the 22nd, but it was changed to the 10th, which was NEXT Monday. The other day was the last baby appt and she was rushed into surgery. When I went back in the nursery to see her, I heard her cry for the first time and I cried.

Yesterday the pediatrician came in to talk to us to give us the news... He said, "You guys have one fine healthy baby. She's very healthy and I couldn't find anything wrong with her! Congratulations guys!" Man I was relieved. She was ok after the c-section, but I still wanted to know what the pediatrician said.

As for the mother, she was on bp meds 4x daily (500mg). She's doing fine and they are "going" to try and ween her off. I could actually get some sleep now, believe it or not. The baby's a good sleeper and she's on a 2-3 hr schedule. I was worried about her and the baby. It was like anxiety x2! This was a very LONG 9 mos for, as she started to develop pre-eclampsia in the 1-2nd trimester.

But I am VERY excited how things are turning out. And I actually wanted twins. lol I just wanted to share my new experience with the TSX crew, because back when I joined in may THIS was the first part of acurazine I came too (wants a TSX). Hopefully soon I can land my hands on a TSX-SE 6spd.. Mod's hopefully it'll stay here, but I guess it'd be ok to move to the ramblings section. No I'm lying. lol I made the post extra colorful with smileys for my fellow a-ziners. Have a great day, gotta run back up to the hospital to see my little one.

 

Congrats to the new father!

 

Conrats David!

 

pix pls, but give her a detail first

young man to be parenting!

 

Congrats big papi!

 

I thought you meant your baby as in your new car. I guess a real baby will have to suffice and yes or gtfo.

Congrats dude!

 

Congrats man, that is an awesome feeling.

 

Congratulations!

 

congrats bro sounds like youll be a great dad .

 

congrats-love the way you posted the news

 

Congrats my friend

No more sleep for you! lol

 

congratz on your baby girl it'll be so different from now on cause ur a dad now!

 

Congrats! Have you thought about car seat selection? When the little one gets out of the carrier you might want a convertible seat like the Britax Marathon or Sunshine Kids Radian (narrower so you can fit someone in the middle seat).

 

congrats man. youll lose 10 lbs within a week.

i actually had to save my wife and son from a emergency home delivery.

 

Thanks everyone! Ya it is a great feeling. I'm kind of protective of her already. I'm not sure if I want to post a pic of her yet, cause usually once it ends up online it's there forever.

And the title is VERY misleading now that I think about it. I was really talking about a baby and not a car. Next time it should be the car. YAY! Thanks for all the best wishes. Also I'm actually use to gettin up with kids. My sisters had babies before me, and I have a younger sister who I've helped raise her little girl from birth up to now. She's going on 16 mos and it's amazing how much they change in the first year. She's walking an runnin around and tryin to repeat words now.

Also I forgot to add, there was another guy and his wife across the hall who had the same exact sized baby as I did. 6lbs 8oz, but was 18.25" compared to Rayne who was 18.5". I wont never forget his son's name: Jacob Ethan.

I changed my mind, here she is. I hope you enjoy the pic as much as I do. It's a really great feeling.

 

I've actually been looking into that now. Babies grow fast and it's amazing how many different car seats they have. I know this sounds :ghey: but motherproof.com is a good website with a decent amount of info.

Man you're amazing! That's some serious level headed thinking.

 

Congrats!

 

aww

 

ya man it was intense. adrenaline kicked in and i saved cutting up the wires on my xbox360 controller to tie my wife's umbilical cord

 

enjoy the little one. youll find a new deeper meaning of loving someone that's a part of you

 

That... is.... F***IN AMAZIN!!!!

 

Congrats on being a new dad. She's very cute.

Don't worry about the sleep, some babies sleep through the night immediately, while some wakes up every two hours (mine)...

In case you have forgotten from taking care of your niece, new born needs to have their diaper change up to 8 times a day

 

Congratulations!!

 

Gratssssssssssssssssss!!

 

Thanks!

Thanks very much and you're right they do need quite a few diaper changes. I may sound weird but it doesn't bother me to change a diaper even the bad ones.I just enjoy the whole experience. And yeah she's up and down every 2-3 hrs for her feeding and what not. She's finally up for the boob. The left one was free and I hadn't ate all day and I was like... well since the baby has the right one, can you spare some milk from the left one for me? lol I made the room explode in laughter.

Also I was told by a guy yesterday that breast milk goes good in milkshakes AND with oreo cookies. My family laughed so hard at him. I've never had breast milk so i can't speak from experience.

Thank you too!

 

Recaro BABY SEAT!!!!!

 

It's baby season! Congrats!

 

congratulation man!

 

LOL

nice find ed...

 

I LOVE THAT CAR SEAT!!!!

 

Congratulations to you and your new family

 

you should have heeltoe make you a CF baby seat!! actually, maybe you should just request a regular carseat now. so its done for when you need it

(love ya marcus if you read this HAHAHA)

 

it'll be done when he has his 3rd kid

 

You mean when Rayne has her 3rd kid right?

 

Not until she's 40! Ok... 30...that's the lowest im goin. I'll be too OLD to worry about a CF carseat then.

 

Hey Acura_Dude~

Congrats on your adorable little Rayne i'm sure that nothing else right now matters more than this little bundle of joy!

Have you already bought a stroller? Lots of my friends are buying the BOB stroller. Looks pretty awesome and is quite nifty in many ways

Give our regards to Rayne's mom too She's just as important to this whole process eh~ hehe

 

Wow congrats dude my bro just had a son, his name is Rian pronounce Ryan..my bros name is Ian, I feel both names are one of those names that will be pronounced wrong several times when they get to school.

Any TL thoughts now that youre a dad??

bump to that Recaro child seat... might be a great idea for Xmas to my brother

 

That's a nice name your nephew has. There's so much goin on in my head that it's overwhelming yet amazing, if that makes sense. But seriously a Recaro car seat sounds like a good idea in the near future.

Thanks very much. I have multiple strollers. lol I'll have to check out the BOB stroller and check the funds. lol

 

Yay, we now have a mini-Acura_Dude!

Congrats.
