The Delivery Day

  • 12:03 PM michael - This morning we went in for a 40 weeks ultra sound to see if everything is ok and it turns out that the baby is fine but the embryonic fluid is low. So… It’s time to have a baby. I am not sure how much of how little I will cover but, being one of the founders of ScribbleLive, I thought it might be an interesting experiment.Nataly will be induced and the process will take a while. I am just picking up a few things and heading back to the hospital. So site back and tune in to all the that is public.
  • 12:13 PM m.demonte -
  • 12:41 PM m.demonte -
  • 12:45 PM michael - Leaving home empty, coming back full. I am off to the hospital and
    setting in for what I am sure will be a long evening.
  • 12:55 PM MDM -
  • 12:55 PM MDM - The before shot….
  • 1:10 PM m.demonte -
  • 1:25 PM m.demonte -
  • 1:38 PM Andre - Good luck you guys… welcome to real adulthood :-)
  • 1:39 PM MDM - And so the waiting begins in a room at Mt. Sinai
  • 2:06 PM michael - In the interests of advancing technology for all pregnant wowen
    everywhere, Nataly has signed up two trials. The first one is a new
    way to insert an epidural using a low current (Tsui test). It a more
    efficient way to detect it is inserted correctly.
  • 2:12 PM michael - The other is Noninvasive Bio-reactance. A way of mesuring the heart in
    high risk pregnantcies. Nataly is not but will be a base case. This
    proceedure will help high risk individuals by not requiring a
    cathedure to be inserted in the heart. A proceedure that adds added
    discomfort to the birth.
  • 2:13 PM skube - woohoo baby coming!
  • 2:24 PM Justin - Awesome news! I’m getting cards with Barney the Dinosaur and poker chips with Dora and Diego on them ;)
  • 2:30 PM Neil Hollands - HEY! How did I get in here?!
  • 2:32 PM Neil Hollands - I can’t find the buttons for free stuff?
  • 2:34 PM pollyprissypant - Did you get an SL hat made for the little one? Never too soon to teach them mad marketing skills ;)
  • 2:34 PM MDM - @Neil. I just bought some candy corn and Cotten candy. This place is awesome.
  • 2:34 PM Neil Hollands - & where’s the birthing interface? I want to help. I’m pretty quick with the virtual forceps… With the appropriate technology this birth could be a real money maker
  • 2:35 PM Neil Hollands - It’s a &%^^&! supermarket in there!!! Don’t forget to get some coupons for FREE nursing classes and earwax removal
  • 2:36 PM m.demonte -
  • 2:36 PM m.demonte -
  • 2:38 PM MDM - It’s usally Nataly’s nap time around now as Dr. Phil is on TV
  • 3:20 PM m.demonte -

  • 3:27 PM m.demonte -
  • 3:29 PM m.demonte -
  • 3:31 PM michael - We escaped to the ground floor. I wonder if that’s allowed?
  • 3:32 PM m.demonte -
  • 3:47 PM Neil Hollands - @baby. You’ll probably see your parents getting all sorts of great drugs soon and be left wondering… “Hey where the ^%#$ is my juice?” I mean afterall we both know yer the one who’s about to have his head reshaped into a bullet as its rammed through a “10cm” (bullshit) hole.

  • 3:54 PM m.demonte -
  • 3:56 PM pollyprissypant - I spent 2 weeks in Mt. Sinai a couple of years ago and that gift store and Second Cup saved me from complete and utter boredom. Glad you guys could escape for a short time…
  • 4:00 PM dondy - So exciting!
  • 4:33 PM m.demonte -
  • 4:36 PM michael - So, experiment number one is over. It went well. The second field test
    may not happen it we can’t deliver by 9 pm. Oh well, time to eat.
  • 4:37 PM m.demonte -
  • 4:44 PM Baby - @Neil. Thanks for advice. But don’t you worry I will get her back. I ordered 32 sharpened spikes and a suit of armor off the Internet at 38 weeks. She is going to be in for a big surprise.
  • 5:09 PM m.demonte -
  • 5:25 PM m.demonte -
  • 5:27 PM APO - I fondly remember those chairs.So excited for you guys. Bring on baby.
  • 5:32 PM michael - It seemed like 9 months flew by but now time is standing still as this
    clock demonstrates.
  • 5:45 PM michael - Contractions are now light, about 60 sec long and 2-3 apart. There’s
    an app for that and I am using it.
  • 5:46 PM mad - My Contraction History
  • 5:54 PM michael - They have her wired for sound now as the contractions continue.
  • 5:56 PM m.demonte -
  • 6:01 PM michael - The nurse says “good job” so far so good.
  • 6:04 PM MDM - The nursed asked why we didn’t call sooner. We said we wanted to have something to say. Contractions are very regular now.
  • 6:05 PM m.demonte -
  • 6:08 PM MDM - Contractions are in her lower back a moving to front as they should. Nataly just told me how, if we were at home she wouldn’t of asked me to take her to the hospital yet. Yikes!
  • 6:30 PM Neil Hollands - @Michael…. Nataly’s likely to be busy in the hospital fer a bit… now might be a good time to have the guys over for a big drunken poker game…maybe get some strippers…
  • 6:36 PM Rochelle Quinn - Hey Guys, I’m watching moment by moment here from my couch for all updates. I texted the girls and Barry who are at Wonderland, to tell them and they’re so excited. They wanna know if you’re alright Nat -OH and if it’s a boy or a girl : )
  • 6:36 PM Rochelle Quinn - Behave Neil Hollands!
  • 6:49 PM Andre - I love how u guys have started to create an official record that you can use to embarass your child right from the second they are ejected from the incubation pod (aka belly)
  • 6:49 PM Janey K - Michael…so happy for you guys – good good luck! I’ll be thinking of you all…xo big hugs…
  • 6:50 PM MDM - @andre. Yup
  • 6:54 PM MDM - So, we just had a shift change. Louisa is are new nurse. Everyone has been very nice at Mt. Sinai. Great staff. The deliver over 7000 babies a year.
  • 6:54 PM pollyprissypant - Nicest nurses I’ve ever had were at Mt Sinai – you guys are in good hands!
  • 6:55 PM APO - Our nurse’s name was Ping. I loved her.
  • 6:59 PM Gina Wark - How Nataly feeling? We are very excited for you guys!!!! I love seeing the photo updates, very cool. Keira can hardly wait to see the baby. Lift up the sheets and see if anyone is peeking out yet.
  • 7:03 PM MDM - @Gina. Nataly is fine. Doing really well so far. I will take a look but the bump is still there. ;-)
  • 7:06 PM m.demonte -
  • 7:12 PM m.demonte -
  • 7:13 PM MDM - Just chillin.
  • 7:27 PM m.demonte -
  • 7:28 PM michael - Getting some air while Nataly tries to sleep. Nice night.
  • 7:29 PM Anonymous - ok … we get all the text and pics … but where’s the soundtrack? Maybe a little jazz will make the baby come out and parteee :)
  • 7:46 PM MDM -
  • 7:46 PM MDM - This is what Aero is up why he waits for his brother or sister!
  • 7:51 PM MDM - Dondy, you walking Aero? And how did you post to my flickr account. :-0
  • 7:52 PM Anonymous - Hi it’s Jen! I just read the thread backwards by accident…much more exciting! Thinking of you kids – good luck and can’t wait to hear the sex! Of the kid…not you guys doin it again…
  • 8:04 PM Rochelle Quinn - Olivia Quinn says: hi! I like the +1 in the title. I hope it’s a girl. Well even if it’s boy I will still love him. Can you show me a pictuer of the latest baby book,toy,clothes and furnituer. BYYYYYYYYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • 8:19 PM Rochelle Quinn - Mackenzie Quinn says: I am so excited. But i bet that is not the first time you heard that. Anyway I am sill so excited and hope that it will come in the next 15 minutes. Can’t wait till the baby is here and you know the gender. Okay I better go now and let you have some rest now.BEY!!!
  • 8:45 PM MDM - Well, we just talk to the shift doctor and the next check up won’t be until midnight. It not likely this birth will happen anytime soon. In fact a maybe anothe 24 hours. We say they don’t like to rush any part of the proceedure. Even though she was induced the process need to talk place on it’s own.
  • 9:02 PM MDM - Karen, Nataly’s regular nurse sent us out fir a power walk for an hour. Hopefully it will help the process.
  • 9:04 PM m.demonte -
  • 9:06 PM MDM - We have escaped again!
  • 9:07 PM m.demonte -
  • 9:17 PM Neil Hollands - The doctors are generally trustworthy… But I don’t trust Nataly! She could have a sneak birth at any time… Better tie her legs together till morning just to be safe. Believe me buddy this spontaneous birth crap will wreck yer sleep. The maternity ward is the best ward in the whole hospital to take a walk… it has by far the hottest women… not to mention there’s proof that they all put out. even better, they are wearing nothing but flimsy thin gowns. Best time for a walk is mid morning when they are up stretching and backlit by the sun… I guess I’m gonna miss the Scribble Live birth and all the great shots of Nataly naked as I will be feeding bugs. Remember your new improved double-plus good OHIP plan only gives you 20 minutes to pack up yer stuff after giving birth. Don’t forget to show your baby at the door to get 50% off your parking not to mention lots of great coupons and trial packs. Watch out for yeast in your nipples… keep bread away from your chest…. Don’t breath too quickly… Keep your eyes open and your hand on her chart…(Otherwise they may remove her appendix) Drink plenty of fluids… wear depends… Tell Nataly I love her and there’s still time for us to work things out… Don’t open any weird bags and sniff… Remember all you can as you have both just climbed on the best ride in life’s amusement park.
  • 9:47 PM MDM - In about an hour and 15 in going to have to change the title to “Delivery days”
  • 10:04 PM MDM - So far I have had 2 pops, slice of pizza, chips, kit kat, a cookie, and a slice of watermelon. Mmmmmmm.
  • 10:24 PM Justin - 2 pops & pizza? That’s the hospital summerlicious menu
  • 10:26 PM Gina Wark - well? b+g+k
  • 10:29 PM Bill Best - Congrats guys! I’m at Wasaga Beach “camping” right now. I’ll keep checking periodically. Go uterous! :)
  • 10:32 PM Justin - Hi it’s Jen again. J & I hv been waiting breathlessly @ auberge du pommier. We love u both. Aero can hv a sleepover @ my place if u need the help.
  • 10:34 PM Justin - It’s Justin – we have a bet re sex … Think blue thoughts :)

  • 12:22 AM APO - I hope when I wake up a fantastic Michael/Nataly combo baby will have entered the world. Goodnight and hope you guys can get some rest before the big reveal.
  • 12:47 AM MDM - Going to sign off for a while. Nataly is trying to get some shut eye. I am going to head home and tend to the dog and sleep for a bit. Just heard a lot of screaming down the hall. Made us a little anxious. Hope tomorrow will bring a new health life into our family. Cheers.
  • 1:24 AM pollyprissypant - Fingers crossed for you both that tomorrow’s the day! A 4th of July, baby…even though we’re north of the border, still a memorable b-day to have! Hope you’re both able to get a bit of rest over the night…
  • 5:03 AM MDM - Day 2
  • 5:05 AM MDM - Well, I got a bit of sleep and Nataly called me early this morning. She got her epidural in and is comfortable and getting some needed rest. Going to walk the dog and head over shortly. Very good chance I will return from hospital a dad. :-)

  • 8:29 AM Bill Best - Happy 4th of July! Looks like you’ll be getting fireworks fr the baby’s arrival. Weather up here at Wasaga Beach is miserable! :( Got to pick up some baileys & coffee to sit and watch the volleyball tournament.
  • 8:34 AM m.demonte -
  • 8:41 AM MDM - It will be bath time when the baby decide to leave its warm cozy womb.
  • 8:43 AM m.demonte -
  • 9:52 AM m.demonte -
  • 9:53 AM Gina Wark - Hi dude, do you think you have time to go for a ride on the DVP trails today?
  • 9:54 AM michael - Taking alittle walk around to stretch. Captured Canadian and American
    flags in bed pan alley.
  • 9:57 AM MDM - @Brian Sure lets roll!
  • 11:02 AM denise & ron - Nataly can you please hang in there for another week, we really wanted to win the pool.
  • 11:11 AM MDM - Had another examination. Nataly is at 4cm. The first 4 are the hardest apparently. 5-7 is easier, 8-10 easier still. I few hours yet to go but @Denise and Ron, don’t count on it. :-)
  • 11:43 AM Rochelle Quinn - As far as the BABY GUESSING contest goes, Lindsay and Ally are in the lead with their choice of date. Both also predicted a GIRL : )
  • 11:45 AM Rochelle Quinn - Oh and the names they chose were Maude and Rose.
  • 11:57 AM Bill Best - Between Maude and Rose, carrie and I would have to choose Rose. ..a rose by another name – sucks! Lol :)
  • 12:00 PM Rochelle Quinn - BTW Nataly chose July 6th and Michael chose July 7th. What were you thinking?!
  • 12:09 PM Rochelle Quinn - Mackenzie Quinn says : wow this is taking forever. I wish it would just hurry up. But it will come out eventually, DA DA DA…
  • 12:11 PM Rochelle Quinn - Just so ya know, the first thing that Mackenzie said when she rolled outta bed this morning was “Rochelle did Nataly have her baby yet?”.
  • 12:13 PM MDM - Thanks girls. And yes it is taking forever. 24 hours in the hospital and 18 hours of labour. :-(
  • 12:15 PM MDM - BTW July 7 th would have totally been the day if it was not for all this inducing stuff.
  • 12:17 PM MDM - @bill. Rose? I suppose.
  • 12:24 PM caitscarter - how’s Nataly holding up? Do you see a head or ANYTHING yet???
  • 12:26 PM Bill Best - Carrie likes Rowan & Grace. I like Libby, but I’ve only thought about it for 30 seconds. If anything else comes to mind I’ll let ya know. :)
  • 12:34 PM APO - I could win the poll? Right on! Now it needs to be a girl named Maude and I could sweep. But I also like the name Libby, good choice Bill.

  • 2:05 PM MDM - Who knew you could constantly click the epidural feed button. Feeling much better now.
  • 2:15 PM denise & ron - My baby brother is about to have a baby. I can’t believe it. Are you hanging in there okay? Or have they given you some medication too?? Love, Denise
