Just got back from the baby doc. Unless my wife goes into labor tonight, we’re set for a Tuesday delivery. Leave for the hospital early in the a.m.
Go us!

I was late, too. Maybe he’ll change his mind now that the pressure is on.
Best wishes for everyone.
That’s great. Good luck to the both of you.
Best of luck!
Well, if your wife can hold on until Wednesday, your son and I could share a birthday.
Woot! Good luck!
Since you already have a son, there’s no need to point out how much more manageable this one is where he is now.
On the other hand, I imagine your wife has more than had enough of that.
Best of luck and a safe and speedy labor for the missus. Psst! Mrs. G., take the epidural.
Good luck to you and the wife, Jeff!
Congrats. Hope all goes well. We’re gonna need reinforcements.
Congrats to all the Wisdoms!
(Will NORAD show the stork tracker like they do for Santa?)
leigh, I cannot speak from personal experience, but my friend Sara told me that she had a muscle relaxant instead of the epidural and she loved it. She said her delivery was really easy, but she was able to get up and move much more quickly than the women who had the epidural. YMMV.
Oh, and mucho congrats, JeffG. :)
My wife went without last time. Wants the same this time. She’s already questioning the whole water breaking thing.
But hell, the kid is practically hanging out of her. The doctor got bit today during the exam.
She’s a better woman than I, Jeff. I had 23 hours of labor, 12 of them hard labor with number one son. I threatened to kill the doctor with my bare hands if he didn’t give me something.
Number two son and number three son were both c-sections, not by choice, btw. Number three son was doing what your number two son is: was at zero station three weeks before due date and my doc was afraid my old scar would tear if we didn’t get him out of there.
Bit? Bit implies toothed. But toothed?
In the vicinity of a birth canal?
That’s . . .
. . . ok, nevermind. Cheers to the toothy young-un! Und die Frau!
Rich Lowry phones to disparage the swelling ranks of the Visigoths.
Huzzah! And best wishes for a safe and speedy delivery for you all.
For once I’ll be early: Happy birthday, Newest Goldstein!
I question the timing.
Dentata
Better Half was demanding epudurals in the parking lot.
Painkillers are our friends.
Very exciting!
congratulations!
sorry I didn’t make a blankie, didn’t know how long (or not) I had.
Name Jeff’s kid; I go first:
Lift.
(Best to you and the Mrs.)
Tanner is going to have the astrological sign of Taurus. Brace yourself for the stubborn.
Also, second children are proof that God is a prankster. They are living proof that if they had been the first child; they’d have been the only child.
Name: Outlaw Visigoth Goldstein
I had a muscle relaxant before the birth of my son and it made it better for all involved, especially my wife.
They are living proof that if they had been the first child; they’d have been the only child.
I resemble that remark.
God bless & best wishes to Mom & Dad.
(Kid will pr’olly come out, sweep the OB-GYN, and go straight for the wrist lock).
Make sure that you kid pays his 39K + worth of public debt Jeff. And his kids too probably.
Good luck. Hope all goes smoothly.
I’ll be remembering you, your wife, Satch, and the child to come in my prayers Jeff. I’m happy for you all and offer my heartfelt congratulations.
Sorry I’ve been MIA for a while, but I’ve been learning the “Mr Mom” drill[the wife vetoed the Au Pair with the large pair idea :) ], and can’t begin to fathom how you were able to keep up posting content, let alone comment or even read the news!
Not that there’s anything wrong here, but Bob the younger at 7 1/2 months requires near constant attention. And since he’s big( 23 ibs 31 inches), strong(stands on his own and crawls without knee action using only his arms legs and shoulders), active(did I mention he low crawls fast), and perpetually inquisitive(into everything) my mother-in-law is really no help at all; save for moral support…
Anyway, Congratulations to the Goldstein family on the new arrival; may God bless and keep you all, always. My regards to all, and I’ll return to take part in the fascinating discussions just as soon as the younger learns to entertain himself for signifigant periods of time.
That’s it? That’s getting off cheaply!
I made a blankie, but I’ve not a clue where to send it. I also made a coupla condominums.
Thanks, all. It’s starting to really sink in now. Satch is going to have a brother outside the belly very soon.
That will be awesome. Congrats. Go to sleep. Now.
Muscle relaxants for everyone.
Best wishes Jeff.
Congratulations to the both of you.
Hope everything goes wrinkle free for you and your family!
Take advantage of any and all offers to help, watch kids, etc. For me the jump from one kid to two was intense. Not only the normal lack of sleep, but also the attention required for the other one.
Best of luck to everyone, and congratulations! I’ll mercilessly taunt proggtards on Twitter in your family’s honor today.

Okay, now what is it I’m supposed to do with all this boiling water?
I hope everything comes out ok!
Oh, wait…
TCW,
Go back in the kitchen and tell me how many ice cubes it takes to make it freeze over. (And, yes, I have actually heard a paramedic tell a father that after having made him go boil water.)
I just saw three guys on camels go by. Looked like they were heading for Colorado. They were carrying gold, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and some guy named Murray.
Baby G is out (born 8:12 am in CO)! He and Mom are doing great!
Aaooogah,
Rocketman off the starboard bow!
