UPDATE: more photos are now up on Flickr, along with a video of Brighton with hiccups!
4:15 am. Faith and I are on a brisk walk before our planned 6:00 am check-in at the hospital.
6:14 am. Check-in was quick. We’re in our big room, the baby’s heartbeat is on speaker, and the nurse is taking a focused history and asking about birth plan stuff.
7:43 am. Three different nurses tried to start IVs but hit valves. Our main nurse, the mother of a blogger I met at the West Hartford townhall meeting, is very nice. She started the IV successfully on a second try.
8:20 am. The oxytocin drip is going now. Amazing how the same chemical that makes you feel good after you donate to NPR (or so Ira Flatow tells me) also brings babies out quicker.
9:34 am. Faith is bored so she’s doing work: scheduling residency interviews, checking icanhascheezburger, etc.
9:55 am. Our nurse is setting things up so the doctor can break the water. I’m not allowed to post anything specific about the labor after this. Faith and the nurse are bitching about private insurance and their profiteering ways; it’s a good thing Faith qualified for Husky (Medicaid) when she got pregnant, since there were important things that her primary insurance didn’t cover.
10:15 am. Faith reports that the contractions are “starting to not feel so good any more.”
11:37 am. Things are getting more exciting. We’re watching the BBC show Merlin as a distraction. This is the apparatus the baby goes in for his exam after he’s born:
12:55 pm. I just got kicked out of the room. It’s hospital policy that family aren’t allowed to be there when they administer an epidural; fathers tend to faint and injure themselves. Our nurse says she’s had to drag fathers out by the feet. Here’s the medicine, ready to be hooked up:
1:41 pm. Nap time.
3:10 pm. Our nurse was going to leave us for a while, but then she realized that it’s almost BABY TIME! We start pushing as soon as our doctor is available, it looks like. The nurse estimates half an hour until then.
4:23 pm. He’s here!!!
5:46 pm. He’s 8 pounds 1 ounce. He’s already fed once and he’s very good-natured. We’ve been testing his reflexes; one pic is the Moro reflex (startle reflex), one is the palmomental reflex, and one is just cute.
6:48 pm. Brighton is 19.5 inches long.
9:22 pm. Brighton has been snoozing for a while. It’s my objective assessment that he is, in fact, the cutest baby ever. Thanks so much to everyone who offered congratulations and kind words. To those scheming to steal and/or eat him: we’re on to your shenanigans, and we’ll have none of it.
Yay! Big day. Good luck with everything. Your public awaits the happy news.
Thanks!
Get in my tummy, Baby!
Nooo!!! You cannot eat my baby!
CONGRATULATIONS! Wow. And I have to say that those pix of Faith are bar none the BEST post-delivery pix I’ve ever seen. She looks great. [Baby looks YUMMY!]
Yeah, she’s in really good shape afterward, because labor was only six hours.
I knew you could do it….GOOD luck Boy Wonder…..
Thank you, Shawn
What a great day! Can’t wait to see my #1 grandson, Brighton. All my love to you, Sage, and to Faith and to Brighton.
We’ll see you pretty soon!
yay! good luck. I imagine icanhaz makes hospitals better, in general.
I’m hoping his first words are “o hai!”
We’re waiting over here!!! We can’t wait to see him. We will be there pretty soon. Love all 3 of you!
Mom & Tom
Wooeee! This is probably not the time to quote Bill Cosby on the paternal role in childbirth — oh, what the heck. See how hard Faith hits you when you chant, “Push him out, shove him out, waaaay out! Push him out, shove him out…” etc. Hugs from New Haven!
Worked like a charm! Just 9 minutes of pushing, and a very round-headed baby.
WOW that’s a beautifully pink baby!
Yup, nice and pink. They said his bellyrubbin was 3.2, but I explained that that couldn’t be right because he’d already had way more bellyrubbin than that, probably 50 or 60 just from me.
Congratulations!
🙂
OMG OMG OMG! I want that baby!!! I’m gonna steal him!!! He’s DA CUTEST newbornded baby EVAR!!!
I want that baby, too! I get to hold Brighton Maxwell Ross in 10 days! Will you be in Connecticut while I’m there?
Congratulations, Sage & Faith. You made a beautiful baby. You are blessed.
I love you all.
aaahhh!!!!! BABY!! i see a little sage in him already. i cant wait to see him. i love you guys!!! have fun with your new baby 🙂
He squirms around like me, too. I don’t know whether he behaves in other ways like I did as an infant, because mom and dad have totally contradictory accounts of how I was.
YAY!!!! Congratulations!!!! She’s gorgeous
And by she, I clearly meant Faith.
Brighton is a handsome little fellow himself!
Of course 🙂
Your best ever piece of work 😉
Yup, no question.
This has been a real thrill to watch. Thanks for sharing this Sage and congratulations to you both. You’re going to be a great dad.
Thanks, David!
Ok, I won’t steal him. But maybe I can just borrow him for awhile? Just to show him off to all my friends?
Ummm….no.
Yay!! He is absolutely beautiful. Love Love Love!
Eeeeee!
Great blog, btw!
Congrats Sage!
Enjoy the sleep you’ll get at HSS … it might be your only sleep for a while 😉
Hey guys- I’m so glad everything went so well for you both! I love the photos!! FANTASTICALLY cute baby 🙂
How is motherhood Faith?
