[Sirrahsim]

At this moment Sirrahbed and Sirrahned are winging their way down to Texas to get ready for the birth of my second little boy!!

They'll be here around dinner time :D :D :D

Yay!!
Welcome to Texas Mom and Dad!

[lvpets2002]

:) :) Congrats on the GrandParents arrival.. Now when is the baby due?? Is it this weekend?? Hope all is well & safe..

[lvpets2002]

:eek: WoW this Thursday.. Evicted from Uterus.. What a nice way of putting it.. :D

[shais_mom]

wishing them a safe journey.... :)

[Cataholic]

Gettin' the boot on Thursday, eh? Good wishes allllll the way around the family! Poor Tyler. So young, and in for such a shock. :p

[moosmom]

I wish you all the BEST! Nana and Grampee have a safe trip! Don't forget the camera!

Oooohh!!!!!!! this is SO exciting!!

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Awww, I am sure that Debbie is very exited, now that she will be able to be with you while delivering! :)

[AdoreMyDogs]

Hope everyone got there safe and sound :) what time on Thursday is the c-section scheduled for?

[Sirrahsim]

They arrived safe and sound despite the teeeeeeeny little puddle jumper that they had to take to get here :D :p

Surgery time is at noon but if my doctor is anywhere near as reliable as he usually is I won't get in until 1 at the earliest :rolleyes: :p

I can't believe that I'm having a baby tomorrow :eek: :eek:

[AdoreMyDogs]

I can come visit on Friday if you would still like :) I'd love to meet Austin and I can't wait! I'll have to bring Quinn, too (is that OK?) because my hubby will be at work.

How cool that it's actually TOMORROW! I bet you're SOOOO excited, I'm excited and it's not even my baby!!! I'm just so excited for you :D

[Sirrahsim]

You can come anytime!! The pamphlet that I have says that children are welcome as long as I am not the only adult responsible for them :p I'll check when I go in to preadmit this morning but I'm thinking as long as you don't decide to leave the beautiful Quinn with me and go shopping or something you should be fine :)

Yay!! :)

[sirrahbed]

Hi - meemaw Debbie here - we are so glad to be here:) Missy was preadmitted this morning. We went with Tyler to the neatest place with all soft inflated climbing toys, slide, obstacle course, etc. These old folks ;) played too and we had a good time.

Tyler is napping now as we wore him out I think. He adores his PawPaw and the feeling is mutual.

I won't be going in to the delivery with Missy after all, but we will be close by with Tyler.

Tyler is the sweetest and smartest little boy I know. Honestly - I may be his meemaw but I really an amazed by him.

Boomer let me snuggle him this morning - and flopped over for belly rubs.

Can't wait until tomorrow!! I will be holding my newest grandchild this time tomorrow:D Missy looks ready to pop. Austin is very, very low now so I suspect he would be ready to arrive without the c-section but we are glad he waited for us to be here.

[CountryWolf07]

Congrats! :)

[Logan]

Oh Debbie, I am so glad you are there with Missy and Tyler! :) There is something about "Mom" being there that comforts us, even if you won't be there for the delivery. I only ever had one baby (my Helen), but I can remember my mother saying that she was going to work and come when I went home. She couldn't stand it and she and my dad came and sat while they induced my labor. She was so calming for me. And if I had another child, I know I would have wanted her home with him/her so that I didn't have to worry.

Good luck tomorrow, Missy. We can't wait to meet Austin!!!! :) :)

Logan

[AdoreMyDogs]

Missy, would 11 or noon on Friday be a good time to come see you and meet the new little man? Let me know when would be good if that's not a good time. Also, is it OK that I bring Quinn, as I won't have anyone to watch her at that time? You still have my phone #? I'm so excited!!! I'd love to meet the proud grandparents, too, if they are going to be around :)

Leslie

[Sirrahsim]

Leslie,
I just called the unit and the lady in post partum said that bringing Quinn will be perfectly fine as long as she is in good health :D Thursday would be iffy because heaven only knows how long I will be in recovery but friday is just fine. I'd imagine that 11 or 12 would be perfectly fine but I'll check with my folks and get back to you soon. They are out running errands (and hopefully not getting lost!) so they'll be home within an hour or so. Can't wait to see you :) :) :)

[sirrahbed]

I get to meet Leslie and Quinn! A mini-PT meeting for us :)

Logan - I am glad that we will be able to stay with Tyler and hope to make this as easy as possible for everyone. We rented a car and got us a good map so we can do some fun things with him. Tomorrow - we can bring Tyler to the hospital really soon after Austin is born - amazing that this will be happening tomorrow!! I was able to get to Japan where Tyler was only four days old. Sirrahned missed that newborn stage and so he is particularly excited to be here for Austin.

Missy said that they can't take pictures in the delivery room (surgery suite) but I am sure we will have plenty of pictures to post very soon afterwards. This is the same hospital where our own Quinn was born. Missy and I went too have her hair cut earlier - so she will look nice for her first pictures after the birth.

Missy brother Bryan and Chris -chrangharris) are watching the kitties for us. They are even sleeping over some so the cats won't get too lonesome. All of the animals sure knew we were fixing to leave and stayed very close as we were packing. I worry about them just like I did my skinkids. I think Misha might even campout in our backyard :D

Missy is fixing a nice dinner and it is starting to smell great so I better get in there and start peeling potatoes with her :)

Yay I'm so excited to meet you all!!!

[Alysser]

WOW, congratulations!! I didn't realize you were having Austin tommorow, you must be so happy, yet nervous! I wish you ALOT of luck tommorow, I'll be waiting for an update. :)

[sirrahbed]

It's Thursday morning and Missy just left to go to the hospital. I could tell that it finally dawned on her that today she is having her baby. She was excited but I could also see the fear. They won't let hubby to come in with her when they give her the spinal and that is what she has been worrying about - that needle in her back. But, we should have baby Austin here in about 3-4 hours. The other grandpa is driving in to see everyone also. Sirrahned and I will be headed to the hospital after Tyler's nap to see my babygirl and her baby :D

Boomer came to snuggle in bed with me this morning :D I think he remembers us from his foster stay!!

later.....

oops got distracted with Tyler... It is now 2:30 and we were able to go to the hospital and wait with Missy for awhile until her section. Austin was born about 20 after noon. We were able to see Austin through the glass and even to pop back and see Missy in recovery. I am SOOO glad we were able to be there and not waiting at home :) Austin is tiny and precious with tons of very dark hair. Tyler got to go back for a minute and see mommy. He watched his new brother through the glass and just stared and smiled. He sid "my baby brother is here!!" Then I asked if he wanted to bring the baby home in a few days and he quickly answered "YES!" I thought that was a great response :D

Once Tyler wakes up from his nap and we have some supper, we will head back out to the hospital. I hope to put up some pictures tonight when Paul comes home for a bit. I hope you are enjoying the updates.

[Trinityagain]

Congratulations to all!

[pitc9]

Yipppeee!!
Congrats to all!
I can't wait to see pictures!

[Taz_Zoee]

Woo Hoo!! Congrats to all! Can't wait to see pictures of the little guy. :D :D

[Alysser]

Congrats!! I can't wait to see pic of little Austin.

[luckies4me]

Congratulations!!! :D You must be so proud!

I can't believe I just did the same thing 4 days ago...it's such an awesome feeling seeing your little one for the first time. I can't wait to see him. :)

[DrKym]

Congratulations and Brightest blessing to whole family!!

The Goodnows

[sirrahbed]

We are now back from the hospital and Tyler is asleep for the night (hope!)

Austin will be spending the night in NICU - a problem with some fluid in his lungs and fast breathing. Missy is sad and teary. She only saw him for a few seconds before they took him back. Sometimes c-section babies have too much lung fluid since they do not get the "big squeeze" that occurs during traditional labor and birth. The pediatrician thinks that is likely the case with Austin - so he is wearing some oxygen and a CPAP which just puts gentle pressure into his airway through a mask. It helps to keep his lungs open. He has an IV to fight any possible infection. APGARS were great though - 8 and 9.

How about vital statistics? He weighed 6# 11oz and is 19 inches long. Here he is at just a few minutes old...

[Cookiebaker]

Missy, I know how hard it is when you wait *so long* for your precious baby, and then you can't hold them. :( It was devastating to me when Lydia had to be under the bili lights for a day. I think I cried the entire day. I hope you get to be with your baby boy sooon. He is absolutely precious, and congratulations to you and your family. You must be so happy to have your mom and dad so close by this time! :)

[luckies4me]

Congratulations! Kai has really bad jaundice as well. When they first tested him his results were off the charts so they had to draw his Billirubin again, poor guy. He was poked so many times. He has an appt. today to check on him to see if he's gotten any better.

I hope you have your baby in your arms now. He sure is a precious little guy.

Baby Kai says Get Well Soon! :D

Baby Austin and PT meeting! (http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=127740)

For those of you who didn't see the thread I posted, here's a link with some more pictures included :)

[sirrahbed]

hi!!! Austin got out of the nursery yesterday right before Leslie and Quinn arrived. As of this morning, his iv's were out and he was declared "evicted" from the nursery and is in with Missy. He's perfect :)

We have tons more pictures but they are on Missy's camera so we will get them uploaded as soon as we can and hope to post more. I think they will come home tomorrow. Tomorrow is Tyler's irthday as well. We are planning to take him out to pick out a trike :D

It was just terrific to meet with Leslie and baby Quinn. She really is a dollbaby! Like Leslie, I toatlly love meeting PT'ers. She has been around longer than I have - as I think I joined about 4 years ago. She was a delight to talk to and I am so pleased to meet another sweet young woman with a new baby close in age to Austin.

[rg_girlca]

Welcome handsome little Austin. What a precious little boy.

Congratulations to all the Harris family. :D

Debbie, I just have to comment on how good you are looking there girl. :)

Looking forward to seeing more pictures.

I am from west Texas and school in Abilene & San Angelo, but Sirrahned & I are now retired in Ohio and do not plan to ever leave there :) my dad lives in Weatherford, Tx. So I am a displaced Texas girl :D more pics later today !

[Jods]

Congrats!! Glad the lil man is home!! Happy Birthday Austin and Tyler!! It is so nic ethat they will share their b-days so close together. Congrats to everyone!

[sirrahbed]

Missy came home late Saturday night (midnight). She got up and felt well enough for church with three day old Austin :) We even took the family out to eat!! It all wore her out though and she did not feel well Memorial Day and her c-section site was bleeding a bit. We still have our rental car for a few days and so have driven a couple hours away to see my dad who I have not seen since my mom died in 2001. Ok enough of this and on to a few pictures!!

Missy home with her boys...
