new Daddy 2morrow !

Wife and I are down In Pittsburgh @ Magees Womans center. Been here since 7:30am Tuesday. Her water broke at 3:30 and we went to UPMC up by us. but her only beein 33weeks they sent us down here.

They said everything is fine with both her and the baby. Just this is a better facility then the one we were at. They are gonna induce her tonight anywhere from 9-12. So said she should go into labor anywhere around 12hrs after that.

So 2morrow I will be a Daddy of a Little Boy. He is 5lbs now so Even thow she is 6weeks early they said his size is fine.

Name: Nicholas
We went with 2 middle names William Thomas.

Ok Im off to eat something. The food here is actually good. On 2morrows menu is Surf n turf.

Congratulations to you and the missus. Be assured, you're in the best hospital for a delivery. My wife worked there for 7 years in the preemy unit as nurse and then charge nurse. My son was born there and after a difficult delivery, both him and her were waited on hand and foot. Hope all goes well :angel: and that its over quickly for both of you (trust me, the longer, the more anquish on your part alone. Remember she's got drugs, you don't) I'll say a prayer for all of you. Hope you get to enjoy Pittsburgh while you're there too. God, I do miss that town.

How cute!!!!!! How long do you expect to stay in Pittsburgh? At almost 5 pounds, I imagine it won't be too long. My wife saw the oxygen tube, the isolet, the monitors and her nurse instincts started kicking in since that was the unit she worked in. Her favorite shot

Lori has to stay for 2-3days after.

They Said Nick has to stay untill his is 34-36 weeks. So he will be here at least 2weeks they said.
Unless they can transfer him upto St. Elizab. in Younsgtown which is only 20-30min from us. Compaired to 1 1/2 hr back down here every day.

Been uploading a ton more pic's. We went down and gave him his 1st bath with the nurse.
I like this one but dang it they didnt have a CAMARO bennie for him..lol.
