Thank you all so much for your congradulations and your kind words. You are all such good friends are caring individuals. You have no idea, how much at the time of his birth you all were on my mind as much as telling my parents and family. Because you all have been a family to me.

My wife will be out of the hospital sometime Sunday, and the baby we do not know yet. They have at least said that, on the weening rate that he is going, with the ventilator, that they estimate that they will be able to get him off of it in 3 to 4 days. So that is quite a relief to know that he will not have all the hard struggles to live that our first son, Marc did.

Again, I would love to talk more, but just got Marc from daycare and stopped home for a quick drink, boy do I need it. 8-) I am driving my son, so yes, it is only one.

I suspect that I will be staying at home tonight with Marc, and my mother-in-law will stay with my wife tonight. As Marc is a bit frazzled not quite getting what is going on for sure.

Thanks again for all your kind comments, and hopefully after he is in bed tonight, I will try and drop by the chatroom. Hope to see and talk to any who are there.

Take care all.

"In your arms is where I want to live and die."

Well it happen. It happened a bit early but it did.

I was in the convenience store, getting me a 12 pack of beer, when my wife sticks her head in the store and says she is bleeding.

Turns out, her water broke. The baby is coming out today. Well she wanted to go to the hospital that her pregnancy doctor is at, but that was more than 30 minutes away, and there was a hospital less than 5 minutes away, so I took her there.

The doctor at the emergency room there, told me that they would have to transfer her to a bigger hospital that was more equipped to take care of her and the baby. But he told me that, getting her there as quick as I could (and believe me, my driving getting us there, almost made her have the baby in the car) saved the baby.

Wow, what a way to make a daddy proud. Her placenta, had dropped under the baby and had ruptured.

Anyway, the baby is here and healthy, relatively. He is on a ventilator, but at least not in an incubator.

Ian Kurt was born, through Cesarean, at 5 pounds, 1oz and 18 inches long, on Thursday July 6th At 8:11pm.

I would like to talk more, but need to get some things done and get back to the hospital. I want to leave with something that someone wrote to me that is very dear to me. I wanted a babygirl. And when we found out this second child was a boy, he wrote the sonnet for me. It is relative today, as it was relative then, just for different reasons.

A Sonnet For Myung

If only life were as we wish that it would be
All the wonder I could wish for, now let me see

I would wish that love and kindness would fill my life
And that goodness filled my heart, as I love my wife

I would wish that all my children would turn out good
And that I would be successful - at doing fatherhood

I could feel the gratitude when the day was done
And all of my family - would always be as one

And if I didn’t get - all that I had wished for
I would still count my blessings, I’ve been given more

Than many, that I have known since I was very young
Though I didn’t get the girl - I would have named Myung

"We shared a moment that will last to the end."

"I only want to see laughing in the purple rain."

where is the purple rain
is it right here beside me
maybe i cant see it
maybe i am blind

"It's such a shame our friendship had to end."

i thought i had lost you
over something so scarce
something so useless
but you are still here

"I only wanted to see you, see you in the purple rain."

i can hear the music of your voice
it radiates in my ears like nothing i have ever heard
it speaks to my mind
and it speaks to my soul

there is something that no one can give me
there is something that no one has given me
there is something that no one will give me
there is something that only you have given me

"I never meant cause you any sorrow. I never meant to cause you any pain."

but i do
i have
will again
and cant stop

why is it that you do what you do
why is it that you love the way you do
why is it you trust the way you do
why is it i cant

"I only wanted to be some kind of friend."

is that what it started out as
yes that is what it started out as
you listened
you asked

and here i share nothing
i hide myself
i bury myself
until i dont even know where i am

"It's time we all reach out for something new. That means you too."

i reached and your hand was there
you pulled me in
and you held me in your arms
so tight

everyday you think it was a mistake
and everyday i am glad that you dont realize that
for i am here for you
even though now it is only in part

Is there anyone out there, that happens to have cattle? You know like are any of you in the beef industry, or cow milkers? I am in great need of a cowbell.

This is my story and I'm sticking to it . . .

My son has somehow learned to employ some incredible stealthing skills. I'm talking like ninja, Halo type stealth skills. Ones that would terrify Micheal Myers himself.

My wife and I went to our room last night, after our son had fallen asleep on the couch. Now we have a two story house. And he had been asleep for several hours at the time.

Without giving too much away, I'll just say that we were not sleep or watching Family Ties. And my son is just there! I mean not a fricking sound! Just . . .

Daddy I want some milk . . .

So if anyone has a cowbell that they can spare, that I can hang around my son's neck, it would be much appreciated.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
