Simon Sez GET ME OUTTA HERE!

Baby watch is over! Little Simon is here! He was born 2 days past due, and ONLY because they (medical team) had to go in after him. He was NOT coming out on his own. Here are the quick details....born 6/22/10 at 7:12PM. He was 7 pounds...14.5 ounces and 21.5 inches long. He's got a perfectly round head and he's JUST like his father with the attitude.

In a nutshell.....went in Sunday night (due date) for the beginning stages of inducement. Monday....ALL DAY....my wife was being "induced", and NOTHING happened. I mean NOTHING. So, they hooked her back up Tuesday....and doubled the inducing process. Still....NOTHING happened. No contractions, no water breaking, no labor pains, no dilation, no NOTHING! Oh, wait, one thing did happen, her blood pressure kept rising. So that's when they decided to go in a get him. He didn't even drop down....he was swimming around in there and refused to do anything because he was happy. So one quick c-section, and lots of muscle relaxers later (for my wife...NOT me lol), Simon Jenkins was born.

That was on Tuesday, it's now Saturday, and when I get off the air, I'm going back to the hospital to take Mom and Simon home. And it's SCARY!!! But it's OK. :)

And for the record.....I changed more poopy diapers in the past few days than my wife! His first night there, he pooped while I was changing him....ON ME. Blech. But I wouldn't trade it in for the world. That's why there's soap.

Here are a couple more pics of the little guy. I'd write more, but I'm exhausted. :)


I'm the happiest guy on earth! And the most grateful too!
