Welcome Frazer!

Well, he's here.

Another one.

Another baby in my home.

I can't believe it.

I'm very happy and proud to announce the birth of my son Frazer, born on Friday, November 14 at 5:09 am. Frazer was late to come out (about 5-7 days overdue), but when he was ready, he came out fast and furious.

Mommy L had an appointment with her OB Gyn on Thursday (Nov. 13) and the baby was very low so low that the Dr. decided to break the membrane (not her water) to get the process started. She commented that this baby would come fast so upon first contractions to leave for the hospital.

On Friday morning, Mommy L woke me up at 2:15 am saying that she's had two contractions. Then she corrected herself in saying, "I think I've had two contractions; I may have dreamt them." My options were simple, roll over and go back to bed or get up. Being the smart man that I am, I got up. But since we weren't sure of there being actual contractions we decided to wait and see how far apart they were (and if they were actually happening). So Mommy L played Tetris on her DS and I watched a PVR recording of "The Office". It wasn't long after that she had her first contraction at 2:30 am. Again, instead of heeding the Dr.'s advice of going immediately to the hospital, we waited to see when the next one occurred. 3:00 am. 1/2 an hour apart. No need to panick. 1/2 an hour between contractions is too early to go to the hospital.

Then 3:15 am the next one.

Now I'm no genius (arguable), but from 30 minutes to 15 minutes in 15 minutes meant that in theory the next would be in 7.5 minutes...3.75 minutes...1.875...etc...bottom line...the baby could be here very soon. NOW I was worried, but I didn't want Mommy L to know of my concern so I "casually" said, "we should go". Mommy L knew that I was worried, not from my words, but my actions of rushing around like a madman.

Upon arriving at the hospital at 3:45 am (lucky we moved), we were admitted and taken up to the case room (delivery room). The nurses were very nice and seemed relaxed until they actually checked how far along Mommy L was. Then like me, they started rushing around saying, "this baby is coming soon!" I thought soon meant sometime in the morning, but they meant SOON as in within next couple of hours.

Mommy L. was awesome. After only 19 minutes of pushing, little Frazer was born! The next chapter of my life (and this blog) has arrived!!!
