Congratulations! Hope everyone is doing well! We have high standards on this board, and expect to be informed of all the vital statistics and name within 4 hours of the birth! Pics need to be posted within 24 hours. Get on FB - pics are posted. He's adorable! I don't have FB. Can someone PM me one?

Congrats CAEL! she is also in the process of buying a house. When was baby C due? Yes for the house, and the kid thread thought she was 37 weeks so he decided to show up 3 weeks early.

That may not have been a bad thing: "So today June 8th, at 1:45 am, Cael and I were blessed w the birth of our son! 7.9 lbs and 19.5 inches long." (using my awesome copy/paste skills straight from FB

That was my thought when I saw how big he was for 37 weeks! The doctors may have been off about her due date. Or the kid's the reincarnation of Superman.

Edited.
I know two exactly 7 pounds 37-weekers, so I know it is possible to have a good size 37 week wrote instead of my tiny one. Haha. The kid is super adorable; my kids looked like squished aliens at birth!

Ahhh, thanks guys! Have the computer at the hospital because we had to sign our P&S tuesday evening after my realtor and lawyer gave me a heart attack, so finally getting on here (I knew people would've noticed from fb ) And the funniest part of this is my water fully broke in the doorway to my boss's office, the day before he was going on a 2 week vacation leaving me in charge. So yeah, I even had an ultrasound to date him back at the beginning, and they dated me to 7 weeks, so that's what we went by all along. I guess if he'd gone 40 weeks he would've been huge so he's looking out for me in multiple ways already! His name is indeed Anthony, thanks Chive and he's pretty good and very alert so far! Been a lazy sucker but today started getting into the binky, so he's nursing better and just waiting for milk to come in now. He's perfect and adorable and we're dying. Thanks for all the well wishes and I'll post later on the kid thread! Oh, I'll try to get a pic posted here later too.

I remember thinking when I saw the post: did she make herself go into labor in purpose so she could get out of being in charge lol!!! I guess your son felt your nervousness and decided he is not going to spend two weeks in your belly being stressed out! And he is adorable!!!

I guess your son felt your nervousness and decided he is not going to spend two weeks in your belly being stressed out! And he is adorable!!! Thanks Carl! yeah, Tuesday afternoon I was sitting at my desk so stressed between the stupid P&S thing and all this shit I had to get done at work. I had literally just joked to my HR director that hey, maybe i'd go next week and be able to say peace out and leave everyone else to deal - we had a laugh and she left. Walked by her again 10 minutes later and was like sooooo I gotta go.. my boss probably shit his pants later on but he/everyone was so excited for me no one thought about the vacation thing. They'll muddle through, there's coverage from other towns available plus my old coworker/supervisor is just a call away and happy to help.

Not trying to poke fun at your DH. It's just that I went to school with too many Greeks whose names were utterly unpronounceable. I went through elementary, junior high and high school with one whose first name took me about 8 years to pronounce and sort of spell. Last name? Oh screw that. Wasn't even going to try. All I can tell you is it began with a P, which is why we sat next to each other.
