Let me begin by stating how incredibly disappointed I am in our hospital's wireless network - disappointed indeed! I stayed up until 1:00 AM trying to post updates! Sorry to leave so many of you hanging! Since I had to run home to pick up a few things, I thought I'd stop down and show off my boy - what else would you expect from a proud daddy?
Kelly will give all the details later but the day went pretty much like this:
7 AM: Arrive at hospital.
8 AM: Kelly's water is broken and she is given a "pit IV" - the stuff that supposed the get the party started.
8 AM-6PM: Absolutely nothing! After watching contractions on the monitor for almost 10 hours, Kelly is still only a 6 - very frustrating! Thinking we still had a ways to go, I order pizza. (Don't worry - I wasn't planning on eating it infront of Kelly!)
7 PM: Just as I finish my pizza, Kelly is now a 9 and we're told we'll be pushing within 30 minutes. (My pizza-filled stomach suddenly doesn't feel so good!)
8:10 PM - Tate shows up fashionably late!
7 lbs 7.7 oz (with those numbers he'll be picking all my games when he gets older!). 20 3/4 inches. A head of black hair so full that you can part it to the side! He is simply perfect!
As for Kelly, she simply amazes me! Absolutely fabulous doesn't come close to describing how well she did. She never complained. She never got upset. She never lost hope. Heck, she never even broke a sweat!
And should any of us be surprised?

Sorry I mispelled Kelly. I hve a best friend who spells it the other way. And I am a very bad speller/typer anyway. Regardless of the fact, Tate is still the cutest!
That's awesome!!
I'm really happy for you guys. He's really cute and I know you'll both be great, loving parents. I'm very happy for you.
Congratulations! So so cute. Enjoy every second with him.
Can't wait for more pictures. . .
What a blessing! Not only that you have a beautiful, healthy baby but that Kelly had an "easy" time. :}
He is so precious and the changes in your life are just a part of the incredible journey of parenthood. There is only one thing that surpasses parenthood...being grandparents!
Congratulations to you all!
