The day Nate gave birth

Friday, December 12, 2008

You may have read in the news about the man that gave birth to a baby, and then you read that man actually was a woman, but was trying to be a man and was married to a woman. Then you probably lost interest like I did.

Let me tell you a story of how a real man gives birth. On Monday afternoon I was on may way to work and I started to have a bit of a stomach ache. I got in my car and drove for a couple of blocks and it started to really hurt. A couple of blocks more and I thought for sure I was dying. I called my work and turned around and went to the hospital. After I was comfortably naked on a gurney with some IV morphine and had a CAT scan I got the wonderful news. "You are going to give birth to a 1 mm kidney stone" I was told. So I was given a filter and some pain meds and told to strain my pee until I caught the little bundle of joy. I gave them the 'you want me to what' look, and got home at about 12:30 am. About 3 liters of water later little Diablo was born. I thought what many new parent thinks, "how can something that small cause so much pain". Anyway baby and daddy are fine now.

By the way, if anyone is in need of a gently used strainer, I've got one lying around. I can send pictures. Paypal only please.

Um...I'm not going to lie, I'm not sure what to say. Ouch. Sick. Sorry. Congratulations. Or what have you!

That's not fair I had a full week of pain and my kidney stones dissolved. I had nothing to show for me week of pain.

What a great early birthday present, eh? Doesn't sound very fun. Sorry. Happy birthday, by the way.

It's beautiful. Congratulations! Too bad you couldn't have given birth naturally (without meds). That's okay though, we still love you.

Glad to know stone and daddy are both doing well.
