Back from Bakersfield already. My 3.5 day stint as Mr. Momz was over saturday night. Mini-Toast n I mainly hung out as the in-laws were feeling under the weather (everybody is under the weather all of a sudden?). They didn't want to cootie up the munchkin (isn't it supposed to be the other way?), so they steered clear for a while. Thanks for tending to the foodz n laundry!
Fluffielady was off to LaLaLand doing training of sorts. Our only and usual worry was food supply, we did a mad dash extracting and had quite a bit. Fluffielady returned with a few more packs, we've got quite a bit. Enough for another multi-day excursion, if momz decides to bail. I had formula in hand as backup, but after gauging the first day, it was all good.
Packed the Rav4 to the gills (again) and floated back up.
Ugh, my 3 months of hmmz lets call it, a sabbatical. I'm not feeling work anymore, but then this February will mark 9 years.. Good lord!

Today the kiddo realizes that he's out in the mad world and replies by screaming his head off. Lovely..
The kiddo needs to be fed every 2-3 hrs, I heard this is the craziest and hardest part tending to him for the next 2-4 weeks. Trying to wake up in a daze ,feed and repeat. Man..
We're given the boot, off into the real world. Scary!

The hospital is pretty cool, most of the nursing staff are real friendly. We're wondering if it only applies to the maternity ward, the floor of life, love n all that.
Fluffielady gets 4 choices of items per meal but the hosed up part is i'm to fend for myself. I don't mind, it's just odd. Theres an extendable couch for the daddy, it's ok but i've heard worse. We find out that there aren't many patients here, that equals hang out time with the nurses. Nurses that hang out? impressive!
This day was all a blur, lack of sleep, hearing the little noises of the youngin.
At 3pm, we were moved from the delivery section to the 'mother-baby coupling section'. What a fancypants name!
The in-laws arrive!
The first 24hrs, the kiddo is self sufficient, the next 21 years, is another question..

Man today is a mad one. It started the night before around 7:30pm. Fluffielady was having semi-regular contractions (7-20min apart) and her back was starting to hurt. Every time a contraction was occuring, i started to rub her back. It started to get quite frequent around 11pm, about every 5minutes. When this happens its time to head to the hospital, but first you need to call the on-duty doctor if it's time. We called and she asked us some questions and one question was 'are the contractions so hard that you can't speak', fluffielady said sorta. The doctor told us that it was either early or false labor, but if we wanted to come in to be checked at the hospital then we could. So we did.
We took our time and got to the hospital at 11:30pm. We get admitted and the nurses checked fluffielady out. The first nurse had a puzzled look and had to get a second opinion. When the 2nd nurse checked she said that fluffielady was about 5-6cm dialated! The nurse had to get a second opinion because fluffielady wasn't going all crazy screaming in pain.
It comes and goes, fluffielady wanted drugs in increments. She never did like doctors that offer Oxycontin if she could just take aleve. So she gets a fentanyl and we nap for 1.5hrs. Around 3am it wears off and the pain is back. At this time my hand is started to go numb from all the back massaging.
At 4am it gets supremely bad, the nurse checks and fluffielady is 9cm. Fluffielady's body has the urge to push but the nurse tells us that its not ready. Fluffielady tries for a bit but after a while it got too painful. One last check and shes ready to go.
The first 45minutes it was 2 nurses instructing her how and when to push. Inbetween this i become part of the process when one of the nurses tries to contact the on-call doctor. This continues for another 30min. At the last 15 the doc comes and delivers, 2 minutes later another baby across from us was also delivered by the same doc.
All i can say is that it's quite impressive that a human body can change to hold another life. Then go through all that trauma, and expect to tend to it after? Thats mad!
The rest of the day was a blur, i think i got 8hrs of sleep in sessions. Fluffielady got way less plus the pains. Woo! Mini-Toast is here!

1st mobile post. Main reason: I'm too lazy to boot up the computer.
I had some crazy dream: I was working at some crazy unknown place for overtime and fluffielady calls me to say that her water broke. I just ditch wherever I was at and left for home. I get home and fluffielady was just sitting chilling around. I ask of we should go to the hospital. She says nah, let's go to the cafe. So we go to some cafe on this crazy steep hill. I'm trucking around and still wonder if we should be heading out. Right then a supervisor finds me and tells me to sign the overtime sheet. I do then I awaken. Man..
We headed to our second ultrasound and it was a pretty fast one. It was more like a check up on certain things. Our result is a totally average baby. 50-percentile on everything, weight, height, even heartrate.
Tis all good.
