Induction... It's time. (aka. the machine that goes ping)

[Taco John]

Hey all...

On Thursday, August 31st at 11:45pm, my wife and I are being admitted to the local hospital to begin the process of birth induction. WIth any luck, my son will be born on September 1st. Obviously, I"m not going to be around for the next couple of days (though I am bringing a wireless notebook, so who knows).

In any case, I'm not going to be around much, so if people have troubles, please contact Pezman or BlueFlame who will be happy to do any troubleshooting that you need.

If you're the praying type, please say one for my wife and my son. If you're not, I'd appreciate a positive thought sent in their direction.

This is exciting!

[Rock Chalk]

Good luck, God speed, dont hurry back, I'll keep things in line (particularly if you leave Pez in charge ;D)

[Pezman]

Dear TJ, leave Alec the keys to the kingdom and we will be fine

(This message was brought to you by the councel of Alec worshippers INC)

My thoughts are with all three of you!!!

Yes, after careful analysis and lengthy thought, it is more amazing than the Broncos winning the SB.

[Archie]

[sutoazul]

HEY TJ good luck and best wishes to your newborn and your wife. Congrats.

[Taco John]

CRAP!

They just called us and told us that they're postponing us until 5 AM!

I work hard at living my life on an even keel, but I could punch a nurse right now! ARRRGH!

[Taco John]

*deep breaths*

not their fault... I'm sure they're just busy...

Still. Sucks to prepare... sleep all evening... Get ready to go... caffinate yourself... only to find out it's all for naught... ugh.

[Sassy]

Ugh...that sucks TJ...sorry to hear that.

[Taco John]

I'll just look at the bright side... I can catch the game on the NFL network...

[Pezman]

Well, I couldnt wait any longer big daddy, I'm off to bed. Hopefully, when I wake next, you will be a daddy! ;D

[Popps]

Eat up every minute of it, Taco. Don't let a single detail go unnoticed/unappreciated. I just can't possibly over-sell how much you're going to love it.

Keep us updated.

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

Hang in there TJ. It is one of the greatest times in your life. Congrats and good luck.

[bendog]

Good luck

[ludo21]

Hang in there TJ, im sure all will go smoothly.

[bfoflcommish]

:thumbsup: ;D :thumbs: :thanku: :notworthy :welcome: :approve: ^5


congrats and good luck to you all Taco

[PatsWin2002]

Best of luck TJ. This experience is sure to render you speechless at some point. Try to remember it all!

[Tredici]

Did anyone else think this thread was going to be a rant about Randy Gradishar getting into the HOF?

Hahahhahahahahaaha.

Hope you have an update soon, TJ. Your child's village is anxiously awaiting.

[Taco John]

So they've delayed us twice now... First last night... And then again this morning. Now we've been told to just sit around the house and wait for them to call us...

[Tredici]

Oh man. Hang in there. (Obviously Jr. isn't having a problem doing that.)

[Taco John]

So my father in law calls me this morning... Apparently Jeff Foxworthy is having some baby contest...

http://www.cmt.com/interact/promotions/foxworthys_big_night_out/

If my son is born tonight at 8:30pm PT, then we can win $50,000 thanks to the contest he's running to promote his new show, which airs at 8:30 ET/PT. So that would be cool...

Even cooler, if we win the $50,000, YOU could win $1,000 along with us, due to their $1000 big baby bounty contest, where you send in an entry form identifying the correct baby.

I figure that if'n we're within ten minutes, it'll be worth a shot.

[BMF Bronco]

good luck brother, look at it this way, you've waited this long, what's a couple of more hours. They did the same to my ex-wife and I with my daughter and she was born happy and healthy at 8 pounds 14 ounces!

Already figuring how to make a profit on the kid! :rofl:

Keeping you and fam in my thoughts and prayers TJ!!

Yeah, I felt kind of dirty about posting it... But this is America right? Daddy needs an outdoor kitchen!

[smalltowngrll]

Yeah, I felt kind of dirty about posting it... But this is America right? Daddy needs an outdoor kitchen!


Eh, just look at it this way...you're trying to offset the costs of having him. I mean really, that's only a small percentage of the money you will invest. So, why not. OR, you could just say it's going towards his college fund! :~ohyah!:

[Tredici]

Yeah, I felt kind of dirty about posting it... But this is America right? Daddy needs an outdoor kitchen!


Hey. When it gets around 8PM and you are helpfully, of course, enthusiatically encouraging your wife to breath. Breath. Push. Push damnit! Be sure and tell her it's not about the money. It's the competition...

;)

[Taco John]

Hooooold it! Hooooold it! Come on honey, another half hour! Hooooold it!

rofl

[barters]

Whoa this is exciting stuff, best of luck TJ. Hope everything is perfect!

[NYBronc]

Best wishes TJ!

[bendog]

After this experience TJ, imo you should rent Monty Pythons the Meaning of Life and pay careful attention to the opening skit "The Machine that Goes Ping."

PING.WAV

http://www.intriguing.com/mp/_sounds/ml/ping.wav

[heydensmom]

I can see it now. Wife is fully dilated ready to push and TJ's saying no honey...no stop pushing...it's we've got a half an hour. Ha!

[Dagmar]

You not a paw yet TJ?

[Taco John]

Now they're really jerking us around... My wife's doctor is going off call and they want to re-schedule us for tomorrow night at midnight... But to appease us, they're going to have us in at 4pm today to take a stress test to see if the baby is under any distress. If he is, then they'll induce right away. Otherwise, it's more waiting.

*sigh*

[Sassy]

What a bunch of bs...the baby might not be under distress...but the parents are!

[bendog]

definitely the machine that goes ping.

*sigh*

:oyvey: Another "test" to put on the bill...I'm beginning to think bendog is right. This is pretty much like the "machine that goes 'ping'"...

[Orange_Beard]

ARG....Wow, I am feeling for your wife today.

[Blueflame]

Sorry to hear that there's another delay, TJ... :-/

[Dagmar]

Time to start yelling at folks...

[snowspot66]

The military isn't the only one with a claim on the saying "Hurry up and wait".

[Taco John]

Ok... I think they're really admitting us this time... We're off to the hospital...

[Sassy]

Ok... I think they're really admitting us this time... We're off to the hospital...

:thumbsup:

[ludo21]

good luck TJ to you and wife, hope all is well.

[Pezman]

Good luck Daddy-O! Lets see if TJ Jr. will be a Labor day weekend kiddo!

Thoughts and prayers with you both again tonight brother :)

[smalltowngrll]

paryers are with ya.....go get'm TJ!!

[heydensmom]

Good Luck TJ!!! Hopefully this time is the charm

[Blueflame]

Prayers for the safe delivery of a healthy baby boy.... :thumbsup:

[Tredici]

George Foster Lopez is about to make his reluctant debut.

[Mtbrncofn]

Geez, sorry to hear about all the delays, TJ! Godspeed, baby.

[SoCalBronco]

Good luck, Boss. :)

You will be a proud papa very soon.

[crazyhorse]

Best wishes for a healthy baby, and a healthy momma.

Who's the father?

[gunns]

Pacing back and forth.......

Pacing

[broncobum6162]

Good luck and Congrats to you and your wife TJ. This gives "Labor Day Weekend" a whole new meaning!

[-Slap-]

George Foster Lopez is about to make his reluctant debut.

Wow. Mrs Taco is going to be earning her paycheck if the baby is George sized.

I'm sure the little Taquito will inherit mom's good looks and dad's big heart.

[Broncoman13]

Best wishes for a healthy baby, and a healthy momma.

Who's the father?



The Mail Man of course... he's "delivered" three to my household! Of course the bastard won't even buy some diapers from time to time, or even mow the lawn. Sure doesn't have a problem drinking my last beer though. A-HOLE! ;D

TJ, our thoughts and prayers are with you three. Sorry to hear that things are going exactly as planned. Just take it in stride and try to absorb the good parts. I know I've told you this before, but in a few short hours you will truly understand the meaning of "Love at first sight". Having a child changes everything. Not just turning the quick trip to the grocery store into an hour adventure, but making things that used to bother you a lot, a lot more tolerable.

Before I had children I had a problem with authority. I'd tell a boss to go F-themselves in a heartbeat. My first child calmed that problem. Putting food on the table for me is one thing... putting food on the table for an entire family is completely different. Everything becomes easier to tolerate b/c of that family.

God Bless good buddy and don't forget to take that baby smell home early so the pups don't freak out.

Congrats Taco! I hope you get the most expensive machine that goes ping in case the administrator comes! ROFL!

[JCMElway]

he kid is born on Sept 5 that'd be great. It's worked out for me pretty well.

Viva Los Virgos!

[Orange_Beard]

$hit, If I would thought it out I should have picked to day, in hind sight it makes perfect sense,

Born on cut day, perfect day to cut the cord.

[Pezman]

Sure is quiet! Methinks something special might have happened ;)

[watermock]

Good luck, God speed, dont hurry back, I'll keep things in line (particularly if you leave Pez in charge ;D)

That's like having Alexander Haig say "I have assumed control" after Nixon resigned then naming Sam Kennison as diplomat to Iran. Hilarious!

[milehimike]

TJ, good luck and best wishes to you and yours. I hope that it will be a grand adventure that will give all of you chill bumpsand warm fuzzy"s in the years to come. Enjoy it!!!!!
