july 30th.

[sadie]

tomorrow morning at 6:30, i'm to be at the hospital, prepared to be prepped for my caesarean section. first, they'll strap a bracelet around my wrist letting the medical staff know my blood type, just in case i start bleeding uncontrollably and need a transfusion. then, i'll be given a spinal block, i.e. a big needle thingy inserted into my spinal cord through which anesthesia will flow. at some point, the doctor will come in, slice open my lower abdomen--six inches or so; pull out my bladder and lay it on my belly; cut open my uterus and pull the baby out. sounds like a fun way to spend a few hours, huh?

[Matt Harty]

Good luck with that :(

[ArrowX]

I'm YOUR DoCOTR

[Jim Duncan - Weather]

Can't you ever be serious? :(

[mew barios]

[ArrowX]

In all seriousness I really hope it goes well. I'm not THAT much of an inconsiderate asshole

[sadie]

[FartinMowler]

Yes you are. Goodluck Sadie and I hope they drug you and you have memories of me playing ping pong with KellyChaos while we're drinking Ceasars :)

[ArrowX]

Whoa I just noticed he was a mod then

[Matt Harty]

:rolleyes

[Jim Duncan - Weather]

Admin, not mod!

[Captain Goodtimes]

Gadzooks.

too bad hes banned and all

[Matt Harty]

What a travesty that was. :(

[sadie]

according to measurements from the ultrasound last monday, the baby was 7.34 pounds. but my belly seems tons huger now.

and the tech said he wasn't gonna say it was a girl but he didn't think it was a boy. and all i have is boy stuff. at least we've agreed on a girl's name. it's a boy, though, we haven't even decided definitely what we're gonna name him. the initials of the name we love spell lsd. :(

[Captain Goodtimes]

Does the girl name have a male spin on it? (patrick/patricia)

[sadie]

thanks for all the well-wishes and all. and whatever i'll be thinking of, you can bet your baby booties it won't be fartin or kelly.

[Seven Force]

I really hope it goes well. Good luck. :(

[sadie]

Does the girl name have a male spin on it? (patrick/patricia)
nope. it's jasmine skye. the boy's name we love is lucas sebastian. too bad it doesn't sound as good in reverse.

[ArrowX]

Fartin and kelly I do beleive theres some OWNED on your face :lol

[FartinMowler]

Goodluck Sadie and I hope you have a healthy baby... :)

[ArrowX]

for Once I agree with fartin >:

[O71394658]

Good luck. Hope everything works out. :)

My Mom had 5 C-sections, and she said they were worth it... :picklehat

[Anonymous]

Your mother is retarded :picklehat

Good luck with all that Sadie, but I'm going to the DENTIST next Tuesday. :one-up

[O71394658]

I know, right?

Can we say SLUT :rolleyes

[Terra]

Good luck Sadie. Have a healthy baby and get lots of rest. :)

[Jim Duncan - Weather]

I know, right?

Can we say SLUT :rolleyes

Is your mom Catholic? If so, she's a good one! :)

[Terra]

Maybe she was until she reached the age of reason.

[WaterLilly]

Wow!


Can I watch!?


Why won't they let you deliver vaginally?


Good luck! I hope the epidural is extra effective!

[FS]

My God, I never knew c-sections were so drastic. In fact, I think I would have lived happier not knowing it. The magic of womanhood has been spoiled forever.

Not that you'll be reading this in the next weeks/months I guess, but all the best.

Also, I think Lucas Sebastian is a good name for a very distinguished supervillain.

[Dole]

Best of luck Sadie! Hope you and impending baby are healthy and happy.

[Daphne]

I'll add my good luck wishes to the rest. I hope all goes well with you and the baby.
For the record, I think Sebastian Lucas sounds great too. ;) Both your baby names are great, though. Excellent choices.

[Mockery]

You know, it's really thoughtless of her not to logon to the boards today and tell us how it went. I mean, geez, it was just a C-Section. :blah

AM I RIGHT GUYS?

[Hobo Renee]

Oh totally RoG. It's like on Buffy when she's fighting a bad-ass vampire and then it's a to be continued episode. So unfair.


PS. Best wishes Sadie.

[Matt Harty]

Where is she? :(

[Neurotic monkey]

Wussy, I hope you can tell your kid that you chickened out and had him cut out of your stomach.

[Snatchtastic]

I bet Sadie is all leik at the movies watcheing the Village with her new baby.

[sadie]

i've returned--alive but still hurting. and laden with pictures of lucas sebastian, born july 30th, 2004. he weighed 7 pounds, 7 ounces, and was 20 inches long.

:love me and my baby: :love
this one's right after he was born. ahhh, morphine.

i'm still on bed rest, pretty much, after the surgery. but soon i'll be all better. be back soon--once i'm able to tackle the stairs regularly. i know you can hardly wait!

[rook]

omg! congrats :)

at least you didn't have that procedure where they use a pair of medical scissors to snip through that part between your vagina and your anus - with no anesthesia either - so that enormous baby head can rip its way out better. THAT frightens me. i think i'll be getting a c-section if i ever feel the need to spawn.

[FS]

What big eyes he has!

[Daphne]

Congratulations Sadie, he's so cute I want to swear, but I know that's not nice in front of babies so I'll just say 'awwwww'!
Great job!

[Anonymous]

He looks like some old guy corporate CEO in the second one :o

Someone should photoshop a business suit on him :o

And congrats sadie ;>

[ArrowX]

congrats

[Terra]

Congratulations Sadie, he's absolutely gorgeous! And so are you, for that matter. :)

[Matt Harty]

nice baby

[Dole]

Congratulations Sadie!!! Hope you arent laid up for too long, as you are going to be quite busy for the next 18 years or so.
