Can't believe I missed this thread the past few days - been checking it so frequently till then with all quiet - just like fishing really as soon as you put the rod down BANG.

At about 7:40 Kylie went in and about 8:10 last night a nurse came out and said I've got a little girl. Sarah Elise Waldron was born at 7:56 pm 05/12/05 weighing 1680g. She needed some help breathing at first which was expected and not long after going into ICU she was taken off ventilation and breathing on he own.

It's all a bit surreal right now that all of a sudden I've gone from being a married couple for 9 years to now having a family.

WALDO and MRS WALDO she looks beautiful, so happy for you and would like to welcome you to a whole new world - you'll love it

A family is the meaning of life Waldo welcome to the holy grail.

Bless you both - really this is wonderful.

Cheers

Like Teejay, I've been following the thread and thought all was quiet, plus been a bit slack over the past few days and only been on here and there, anyway, congrat's to both of you and your little girl, I can see she will become a "Daddy's Girl" my first one did, couldn't go anywhere without her wanting to come along, lots of fun!

Congratulations to you and Kylie. Now you will have to make sure you and your wife dont burn out with the trips to the hospitial when she is discharged. The hosiptial may have accomadation for you and Kylie to stay in so you are closer to bub. My wife is still hanging on much to the amasement of her Dr.

[Waldo]

G'day,

Thanks Aussiecollector and Savage. No real news to report.

The Docs have been a bit worried about her blood pressure which was around 100, so today they put her on some medication to lower it and has dropped to 90 now. Her heart rate was around 150 - 180 which has now lowered to around 130 - 140 which is good.

They are concerend that she is urinating quite a bit so they will do some tests to see how things are with her kidneys.

Kylie has been very emotional the last two days because as much as she wants to come home she'd rather stay at the hospital where she can go down to see Sarah when and as often as she likes. So tomorrow when she comes home will be hard for a few days with the separation bit.

Thanks for the 13 pages of support guys and girls.

[Harry72]

No worrie's all one big happy family around here!(yes OZwinner is the black foil wearing sheep!)

[Waldo]

G'day,

Rather than a PM to thank Termite, I thought I'd make this a public post and thank Termite and his wife Pam for sending the card of congratultions on Sarah's g'day to the world.

So Termite and Pam a very appreciated thank you to you both.

[AlexS]

Hope all continues to go well for you all.
Can I suggest that in a couple of years time, you make Sarah a rocking horse a la Wongo, with a screw opening under the saddle that allows you to use the body as a time capsule. Print out this thread as well as a WIP of you making the horse & put them in the capsule. Some generations later, when they have the harness restored, your great grandchildren will discover the story.

[Waldo]

G'day AlexS,

Yeah not a bad idea at all. I probably should look at making stuff for girls too (rather than just the planes, trains and trucks that I currently do) especially now as I have one.
