BIGREDIOWAN Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Well I decided that I didn't need to take last night off of work as I wanted to save the time off for the upcoming delivery of our boys. I get home at 12:30 last night, let the dogs out, and just as I hit the bed the wife says, "Oh my god!" I ask, "What?" fully expecting her to say she just had a contraction and she says, "My water just broke!" I told her that's not funny turn on the light and sure as hell her water has broke. We are in the hospital now and seeing how long she can go with out delivering. They have taken her off of her medication that was basically keeping her pregnant and seeing if she goes into labor or not. She's only 32 weeks so there's some apprehension on our part, but the doctor is fairly confident that they'll do fine if they come now, but they'll be in the NICU. He would like her to stay pregnant for two more weeks even though her water has broken, but I don't think that's going to happen. Wanted to give everyone an update since it's not too crazy right now. Wish us luck! Quote Link to comment

caveman99 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Good luck BRI!!!! Generally speaking they don't usually want the babies in the womb longer than 24 hours after the water broke. Quote Link to comment

huKSer Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 From experience - don't get too close to here when she gets a contraction. My wife grabbed my shirt, yanked me down close to her and yelled, "Contraction" as I was lifted completely off the floor. Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Yeah when my kids were born I pretty much just stayed away from my ex-wife. I didn't want to risk losing any limbs. By the way, any update?? Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 Well that was probably the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my life and I'll probably never witness anything that great ever again. Please welcome: Cael Landon Martin 4lbs. 13 oz. 18 inches long and Zachary Brayden Martin 4lbs. 2.3oz. 17 inches long I can't believe that I'm a father, I want to cry when I think about it. What a great experience. Quote Link to comment
