Ok I’ll be updating this most often since a lot of my friends and relatives don’t have myspace and it’s an easy place to write all this stuff.
12/18
7:20pm water breaks
9:00pm I’m in my hospital suite (room 330 at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Beaverton)
10:43 I’m HUNGRY!!!!! Can’t eat until after he’s born damnit!
I’ll keep adding to this as things happen. This wil be the first place pictures get posted as well.
If you have any questions, comments or whatever just let me know here 
Omg! Congrats!! I am soo excited! I am awaiting details as they arrive.
Update #1
12:10am Zoe got to eat. hooray! Now she won’t starve during the actual birth.
1:15am Going to sleep now.
oh i’m so excited for you!!! i cant believe ur having a baby!!!!! i may have yo make a trip down/up (dependeing on where i’m comming from) there and see the three of you!!!
So the 19th will be his date of birth, huh? So excited for you two!
Are they giving you pitocin/oxytocin? OOOWwwweeee, I had it with all 3.
6am she’s on an iv drip and still nothing else happening. excitement eh?
Woohoo! Congrats! And perfect timing too - another few days and Chris, the baby, and that Christ guy would all have to share a cake… *hugz!* I’ll have my eyes peeled for updates!
Onward we go:
8:45am Contractions at 3 minutes apart and fairly painful. Probably the last big update until picture time. Woohoo!!!
9:20 Dialated 5cm and getting an epidural. Anesthesiologist is Dr Tran (really!)
YEEEHAW! I’m calling J at work to let him know!
We were talking about all this probably just as her water was breaking. Oh, the irony.
We love you and can’t wait for a new playmate for our boys!!!
omg congrats i’m so excited for you and i can’t wait to see the pictures. don’t forget to keep us updated:)
11:30am Epidural reapplied due to extreme pain and so she’s now doing quite a bit better. Still at 6cm.
Congrats man, that’s awesome!
OMG!! you’re finally having him!!1 that will be one cute baby!! finally ha ha call me when you feel better love you zoey!
OMG I cannot believe that you are a momma!
Congratulations sugar pop.
3:44pm Still waiting. 9cm dilation waiting a bit more for the “fun part” to begin.
Hey Guys,
That boy’s as stubborn as his mother. Hope all is well with you & may God be with you on this blessed event.
6:28pm still no baby, but we did get another epidural and some heavy pushing out of the way. Lots of fun here (and by fun we mean Zoe’s looking to murder the guilty parties and that somehow doesn’t include her
)
You are so screwed.
No matter how bad you expect it to be, you never know how bad it really is until you’ve done it!
Baby yet?
I hope she doesn’t have to have a cesarean!
Push like you have to poop Zoe! That’s the key!
6:28pm…
Laughing my fucking ass off, hehe.
*paces around and waits for more news*
Sorry for the long delay:
10:22pm It’s a boy!!!!!! 8 pounds 13 oz, 20.5″ length.
Our son is here and getting his first bath right now! Pictures coming soon.
Wow what a crazy birth…I glad it’s all over. I know that baby is truely blessed. And Zoe can now rest a bit, phew
Hooray!!!
I love you, man. Happy REAL Father’s Day. Kiss Zoe for me and I’m very happy for all three of you that kiddo is here.
J says he calls dibs on being the godfather.
Final update:
2:52am: kill me I’m too tired but can’t stop looking at my son. Zoe is passed out, xandr is passed out. Why am I not asleep yet? Oh wait I know that one. I was posting pics to my flickr account.
Baby Pictures post on my blog
Ok now I crash out hard. Also the baby is astoundingly cute right now.
He is adorable. And huge. I still don’t know how on earth Zoe delivered an 8 pound 13 oz baby, she appears to be TINY. Glad he’s finally here, and no, there is NOTHING like the first time you hold your child, and that is true whether it is your first or third. However, there is nothing like the first time you hold your first, you have no idea how amazing it is until you’ve done it! Huh Chris and Zoe??
CONGRATULATIONS, GUYS!!!!!
I couldn’t be more happy for you guys! Congratulations!
A handful of my MySpace peeps send their love and congratulations your way. Pop by and have a look at the comments if/when you get the time & inclination.
Love you guys!
- Ken
Wow! I am sooo happy for you both! It’s so great to bring a child into the world. Chris - I know exactly how you feel - and congrats on being a new daddy!
It is amazing that we’ve known each other for so long and we both became first time daddies 8 months apart - (and both sons)! Give the family our best. We hope to have our new sons meet sometime soon. I am sure they will be next to each other in the SCV Tenor Line. Hehehe. Take care and enjoy your new fatherhood.
Love ya and Merry Christmas!!
Tony, Amy, and Anton
hey congrats! baby’s are pretty much the most exciting thing ever and i’m really happy for you two. you had your baby about 12 hours before my sister had yours so they’re like, practically twins. well i hope everything goes well and the great spaghetti monster god is looking over you all:)
[…] For those of you just tuning in, I managed to realtime update the page on Zoe’s blog about the birthing process quite frequently. Well we’re done now. He’s beautiful and there will be pictures later but for now, we’re parents and it rules! […]
