Welcome to the Steelers, Will Howard

Glad to hear things are stable for now. Continued well wishes for you guys.

 

Thank you. So far so good. The other son and wife are heading the other direction for their scheduled appointment today. She is at 26 or 27 weeks. I get 2 this summer. Happy grandpappy.

 

Ask the mom if you can video the birth for all your friends here

 

As a college student I witnessed both a natural and Cesarean section delivery. I was fascinated (dumbfounded may be the better word) at how they knew how to stitch everything back up again with the latter.

 

Except he had to play in the playoffs to get to , and win his. Tee only had to win one game in the post season

 

no thanks. i did my time in the birthing room. i'm telling you they ought to make snow tires out of those things.

 

My daughter was born by Cesarean, but I have no idea what the procedure looked like. I'm normally not squeamish at all, but I had no interest at all in seeing my wife cut open like that. I was allowed in the OR, but they had a curtain keeping me from seeing anything but her head and right arm. (The arm was to give the anesthesiologist access, I think.) When the surgeon asked me if I wanted to see my daughter being born, I looked over at the anesthesiologist and asked if I wanted to see. He realized I meant that I wanted to see the birth, but not the opening they had cut in my wife. He told me to just look straight ahead and not down, and I'd be fine. I did exactly that.

 

I was a full 10-pounds when they decided it was time, so I was induced and came ultimately by a C-section as well. Back then dads weren't permitted in the OR, which was a blessing - they would've been picking mine up off the floor. He still tells stories about seeing me for the first time before they cleaned me up to this day.

 

None of my dads doctor friends liked delivering babies so they all asked my dad to do it

He brought about 4000 babies into the world including most of the kids in my grade school

He told one of my very large friends he slapped him twice when he was born

He also told a groom while in the wedding reception line that he had seen the grooms wife naked

 

I was so ugly when I was born the doctor slapped my mother.

 

Glad the apple didn't fall far from the tree.
