Born this morning like Mr. Toads wild ride! Surrogate decided to have it at home with midwife instead of in hospital. Cord and all wrapped around neck. 911 call and they did manage to get into hospital for c section and fortunately baby and surrogate are okay. I suppose we will know more about baby later of there's any lasting effects. DFs stepson and DIL didn't make it in time for birth but were very close after. They can't drive as fast as ambulance can!! It's another boy but we all knew that. A BIG one! After tiny first child who is still tiny for his age, this may be the JOCK daddy's been hoping for! Anyway, he's here and now DF can stop stressing every 5 minutes. Baby was due the 6th and he actually emailed DIL and asked where his grandchild was! PITA!!!

I'm thinking the outfit we bought isn't big enough. We thought he'd be tiny like first one was.

We all so wanted a girl especially the parents but it is what it is. I'm just praying for healthy now. I'm hoping DFs name gets used as a middle name. It's overdue.

Congrats zib! Sounds like a scary journey but glad it all turned out well.
(DH's cousin was due 2/6 and is planning a home birth... her midwife lives almost an hour away. Eek! She's much braver than I am.)

She's much braver than I am.) I come from the one first world country where home births are far more common than hospital births, but even back home that situation would be called insane not brave!!! And congrats on the GS Zib  |

She's old for a surrogate which made us all nervous to begin with but even a young woman can have stuff happen.

Oh, priceless. DFs ex is at the hospital and insists that DF not be allowed to visit and the kids are acquiescing. So we will not see the baby for a few days. I'm so hurt for DF.

Congrats on the new addition to your family, Zib!
And I'm sending good thoughts for all to be well for the little guy after the scary need for 911. But from the sounds of it, he's a healthy baby!
I'm also sending bad mojo to your DF's ex - what nerve!

Yea! DFs stepson got involved and told his mom to go home if she didn't want to see DF and me but that she wasn't going to bring that crap into their happy new family life. So we will get to see the baby soon. To DFs stepson. |

Congrats Zib! And kudos to your DF's stepson!
I'm curious about the middle name business though ... generally Ashkenazi Jews do NOT name a baby after anybody who is still living. (Although Sephardic Jews sometimes do). Maybe that's changed?

I'm glad DF's son put his Mother in her place. She sounds like a piece if work. |
