My first son too, someone to carry on the family name, :). He was born around 7 am EST this morning. Um, what else should I say here? I’m really proud and happy, I’m half here though because I’m super tired. Driving 50 minutes to the hospital at 3:40 in the morning is taking its toll on me. Especially since I don’t function well with 2 hours of sleep.

But really, regardless of bodily condition, I had a coffee and a energy drink to wake up, and drove MrsZtp to the hospital in one piece. It was the only thing I could do to help out, and I feel like I performed it flawlessly. Heck, even the cop didn’t pull me over, :).

Congrats!

And having a son doesn’t mean they’ll carry on the family name. Hell, my dad changed his last name from his father’s (which resulted in this entire CB fiasco, but that’s a story for another time).

Law says you have to name him after one of the sponsors in the Ford Focus WRC.

Congrats! Don’t let your wife read this. She’s liable to kick your ass after hearing you say you’re tired from driving.

I have a daughter, but it's her choice to keep it or not. I won't decide that for her. And it's up to my son, and one other guy I met, to carry on our last name. So no pressure, lol.

Ha, after 11 I’m useless. My reaction time is slow, I don’t think quick on my feet, and I can’t sleep. I take meds to help me sleep. So when she woke me up at 3:40, I pumped a lot of caffeine into my body, and calmly drove the trip. For me, that’s an achievement. I’m proud of myself. I don't want to do it again, :).

She did the heavy lifting part. All I did was encourage her and drove, :)

It’s quite an experience. Especially watching it. When I saw his hair, I bursted into manly tears of proudness.

Ha, I told MrsZtp “please don’t go into labor at night. Night driving is my weakest.” She went into labor around 10, but she wasn’t sure if it was contractions or not. It got so bad I had to take her in. Found out they were contractions, :).

Nice! Everyone healthy? Mine will be popping out anytime between now and mid December

Yep! MrsZtp was in labor for only a few hours. Which beat the previous time which was 12 hours of labor, :/.

It will be our second, our first showed up 10 days early so we are scheduled for a c section this time about a week before the due date. I could do without the surprises this time, an unplanned c section in a hurry is not a series of events we want to repeat.

That is totally understandable, and especially in the context of a baby.

Ha! We got out cat as a kitten when our first was a baby. They hit it off. When our second came around, he was radically indifferent to her.

Exactly. I need to catch up on my Motor Trend videos, I'm planning on having him join, :).

Let’s see, 3 months after we got married we got the cat. A year later, we got the dog, then we found out she was pregnant with our first. It’s been over 3 years since, and we just had our second. Our wedding anniversary is sometime in the next week or two, it’ll be 6 years total. Lol. We've been busy.
