November 5, 200520 yr Congrats. to Mike and the Mrs. Now it’ll be a couple of days or weeks till the young one surpasses my post count. But who cares!? What matters is that the young one can be around for another White Sox WS.
November 5, 200520 yr Great to see everything went well, and the baby is healthy. Congrats to Mike, Angie and Madison.
November 5, 200520 yr Happy Birthday Madison. Congrats to the Southsiders. In a short while you will look down and have no clue how you got along without her.
November 5, 200520 yr It's time to celebrate Soxtalk!!!!!!!!!! And it couldn't have happened to two nicer people. Congrats and a Happy Birthday to Miss Madison.
November 5, 200520 yr Mike, I've known you since back in the ESPN days. Congrats from Miss PA and Me. Hope to see you in the future.
November 5, 200520 yr Her initials are M.S.??? As in MSWord, MSExcel, MSPowerPoint.......???? Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Mike and little Madison!
November 5, 200520 yr Congratulations to the you and your wife SS2k5! I hope you always have as much joy with your child as you do today.
November 5, 200520 yr Thanks so much everyone. I could feel the love from all over the country, and so could our baby Madison. Both mom and baby are extremely healthy and mostly happy. She was born 7 pounds 12 ounces and was 20.5 inches long. Believe me I tried for a good old fashioned southsider name but since Rally Crede didn't go over to well, Madison was a good old fashioned Chicago name. And really very appropriate considering mom and I couldn't be more different in many respects that it would take someone like her to run right down the middle of both of us. And now making her Soxtalk debut (we'll call this her first post when she joins, lol.) Madison!!!
November 5, 200520 yr Congrats Mike.... Glad everything turned out as well as it could. Thanks for sharing everything with the Soxtalk world. Now, if we could only get her registered to start posting.... P.S. Don't tell Madison I was cheering for a boy... See page 2 of this thread.

November 5, 200520 yr One of, if not the greatest feeling in life, being a proud parent for the first time. (or so I've heard) Anyways congratulations!
November 5, 200520 yr QUOTE(The Critic @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 03:38 PM) My wife went 23 hours, including SEVEN hours of pushing! But our little girl is worth every second of it, and YES, that is VERY easy for me to say!!! Going back I had to respond... the wife had about 7 hours of labor, total. The hard pushing took about 45 minutes. And I agree with you 100% about the last line
November 5, 200520 yr QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 06:00 PM) Girls are so cool And I gotta throw out the song my Dad used to play for me as a baby. This is an excellent beautiful short track off of Abbey Road. Golden Slumbers One day while Paul was visiting his father at his Cheshire home, he began playing the piano, and looked through a songbook that belonged to his step-sister, Ruth. (His father, James had remarried by this time.) In this book he came across a traditional lullaby by Thomas Dekker from the 17th century. But, as he was unable to read music, he began to make up his own melody and new lyrics, and "Golden Slumbers" was born. Once there was a way, to get back homeward, Once there was a way, to get back home Sleep pretty darling do not cry, and I will sing a lullaby, Golden slumbers fill your eyes, smiles awake you when you rise Sleep pretty darling do not cry, and I will sing a lullaby Once there was a way, to get back homeward, Once there was a way, to get back home Sleep pretty darling do not cry, and I will sing a lullaby

And I agree with you 100% about the last line 7 hours......you just tell your wife she ( AND YOU!! ) got off LUCKY!! My favorite quote from the Mrs. while she was in labor: "Somebody get me out of here!!!" ....it about KILLED me that I couldn't respond when she said it.... OHHH, I almost forgot this part! when they gave her the epidural, they messed it up! It only numbed her left side, so they had to ROLL HER ON HER SIDE WHILE SHE WAS IN LABOR to let the epidural fluids seep over to the other side!!!! Modern medicine, my fat ass!!!
November 6, 200520 yr And the epidural horror stories are the exact reason why I don't want one if I ever have kids.
November 6, 200520 yr QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Nov 6, 2005 -> 04:13 AM) And the epidural horror stories are the exact reason why I don't want one if I ever have kids. Mrs. Kap has had to have a spinal tap when she was a kid, and she's already said no way on the epidural.
