I can beat you all. It's my 5th wedding anniversary today and my wife got induced. I should have a son or daughter by this time tomorrow, all going well.  |

Cool man. Get some sleep during the process if you can. My wife was induced and it still took 14 hours. Since she was induced at about 6:00 p.m. it made for a long night. If they let you do it, cut the chord as its a cool thing to do. You won't believe how much the next 24 hours will change your life.

Wow congrats to you too Ironwood.
I was going to say to Merusk that anniversaries seem like the only truly worthwhile 'holidays', but birthdays are cool too -- Especially if it's the first one.

Alright Ironwood!
|
I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

Ok, let's not jump in with both feet yet. Long way to go before sleep and whatnot.

Yay for Ironwood and, soon, micro-Ironwood!
Cy, comedy gold. Seriously.
... uhm ...
My day today has, so far, been nearly identical to yesterday, except I haven't forgotten my badge and had a steak salad sandwich for lunch. Oh, and I bought a copy of Charles Dickens' "Bleak House" on the way back to the office as a desk ornament.
In a couple hours I'm going to go beat the ever-loving shit out of a 100lb. heavy bag for an hour or two, maybe spar a bit, then go home, then go to my usual local club and have a few beers while listening to bad music. My most pressing concern will be whether I'm in the mood for Newcastle or Guinness.
And that'll be that.

I was thinking "Ironwee", but that has a bit of a poor connotation.

I met Warren Christopher today. Roxor?
Edit: Cyrex is brilliant and yay for Ironwood.
Edit 2: I need you all to resolve a dispute me and the girlfriend were having today. Is Sarah Silverman generally funny?
Edit 3: Since you all care, update to original story! I am posting this from house of Greg, mentioned in original post. Guess he's not that mad after all! However, on the downside, he did expose himself to me several minutes ago. :(

I even hear there's this place called MySpace where other desperate attention whores Uh, isn't your wife on MySpace? I think she made it to promote her Net radio show. And she's younger than me, and isn't MySpace what all the young kids do these days? EDIT: Congrats on iminent sproggage Ironwood. Also, Tele if he exposed himself to you, did you gobble the weiner or are you waiting for him to put it in your hooha? |

Jus Primae Noctis was another of Braveheart's little "artistic touches". There's no evidence of it at that time and place in history, to the best of my knowledge.

Grats, Wood! My wife was induced the first time, too (seems to be a trend..) only about 12 hours labor, tho.

Elena Marie Pieroni was born at 9:15 this morning, weighing 4pounds 4 ounces. She's perfect.
Alas, due to complications my wife is currently in a hospital bed drugged out of her mind with tubes sticking everywhere. Her liver Ruptured during an Emergency C-Section. She's in a bad way. I'm fairly sure she'll be fine, tho, as she's in the best place she could be. They caught the bleeding in time and repaired everything once Elena was out the way.
I'll try and bring some pics of Elena home with me tonight.
Cya laters.

Congrats Ironwood! I am wishing your wife a speedy recovery. You are one of the few around here whom I actually like.

No Nerf, but I put a link to this very thread and I said that you all can guarantee for my purity. I even mentioned your case, and see if they can take a look at your lawn from a Michigan perspective.

Congrats, Ironwood.
My wife was induced and went through 18 hours of labor before she had an emergency C section. The first time that I saw my son he was purple from the lack of oxygen that required the C section. He starts kindergarten in a couple of weeks and is the smartest child on the planet. :)
I pray that every thing goes as well for you as it did for my family.
Sleep now before the wife and child come home because your world will become a perpetual shade of gray for a while as it is never fully dark or fully light around a newborn.

Wow that sounds serious -- hopefully there won't be any serious long term consquences from the injury. Best wishes to you, your wife, and Elena. |

Wow, congrats Ironwood. Good name too. I'll spare you the name-association thing I have for that name (but it's a good one).
I've tried to send out a postive vibe/thought/prayer thing in the direction of your wife. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery.
