My Son was born...

Jude Keat was born at Monash Medical Centre on 25th February 2004 at 8:41pm.

Weighing a healthy 8 pounds 1 oz, and measuring in at 52 cms long.

Obviosuly I didnt write this at the time he was born, but both mother and baby are doing fine.

Waiting...

Rach and I are still waiting for our son to be born... :)

We were due to go and see an obstetrician tomorrow (Wednesday), but Rach didnt feel well on Monday morning, and had been a bit off colour all weekend.They asked us to come in, and it turns out that Rach has Pre-Eclampsia.

Bummer. I thought that we were past the time when this would be an issue. So, they had to admit her straight away, and they stretched her cervix to try and get the labour going.

That was Monday, lots of monitoring, and me flapping around... but i ended up getting home about 11pm, and up again this morning to go into hospital.

The doctors are keen to get the baby out (due to the PE), so they have started with the prostoglandin gel on the cervix. :) Now just another 6 hours to wait to see how that goes!! :)

can't wait for...

my gorgeous wife to give birth to our first child! :)

This may seem a bit strange that I'm happy one minute, and pissed the next, but at the end of the day, this is the only thing that keeps me going at the moment...

Midwife last night just told us that all we can do is wait, I imagine that he wont be far away, because he is due to arrive tomorrow! :) It looks like he's going to disregard the dates indicated :)

Anyway, as long as he is healthy, I don't really care when he comes along! :)

Chaos...

Good ole Ruby.. he sure knows how to stir up a hornets nest! :)

After spending pretty much the whole weekend at Rube's house relaxing and sitting in the spa, i've come to a few conclusions:

1. No one values your work here.2. No one gives a shit.3. Where is the money? does anyone get paid properly here?

Anyway, I'm now considering what i'm going to do with my future.. i'll take my 2 weeks leave and look after Jude, and then see how it all goes..

Baby time! :)

On a much nicer note, Rach and I managed to go and see Mal and Kristen who had their baby a couple of weeks ago.. :)

Olivia Mae is just the most gorgeous thing! :) So tiny, but so bright and inquisitive! :)

Not Happy Jan...

Looks like I'm back doing the same old job again...

back to supporting an application which doesnt hold any suprises for me, back to the same old, same old.. i'm a bit dirty...

The promises last year were 'dont worry, you wont be on this forever'... what a load of shit...

I think i might have to negotiate to get cerfitied in J2EE while I'm doing this support job - at least if i decide to leave, then i've got some sort of paper to prove what I was doing...

I also heard on the grapevine that poor Ruby had a run in with our favourite PM. That doesnt suprise me in the slightest, i was truly waiting for it.. and a little dissapointed that i missed out on hearing the commotion! :)

Anyway, I think I might take a career change as stay-at-home dad.. :) luckily my gorgeous fantastic wife is more than happy to go back to work (truth be known, she could probably earn more than me anyway!)...

Baby soon..! :)

The time for the child to come forth is close at hand! :)

It is looking like he might wait until his due date, the 19th Feb! :) That would be nice, cause I'd love a couple more weeks of good sleep!

I am also looking for a digital camera, because we have to take photos of the little man for the world to see! :) p.s - Happy Birthday Guyman.

Metallica...

I went to the Metallica Concert on the 28th of Jan, with 3 great mates.

This has to be one of the best concerts i've been to my entire life (although that being said, 2 of the 4 have been Metallica concerts!) :)

They went off, 3 hours of hard core fucking LOUD music that just rocked.. :)

I'm still smiling thinking about it! :)
