This evening my wife and I are heading to the hospital for her to be induced. This is going to be our first child and well, she doesn't want to cooperate and is a bit over due now. So, the doctors want to speed things up and induce her. I am sure with modern medicine there is little to worry about but... A little divine intervention can't hurt! My wife and I are very excited about the new one coming along. For those who don't remember it seems like yesterday I was posting on here about popping the big question on my wife! http://forums.pondboss.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=13805&Number=165000#Post165000Thanks in advance for your thoughts and prayers... I'll hopefully be posting pics of a healthy baby girl here in a day or two! My life is about to change, so I hear anyways! HAHA

Prayers and best wishes CJ  I am sure the Doc's know what they are doing. Having a child must be the greatest experience one could imagine. I know my life would change.

CJ all will be just fine. Not a fan of the inducing labor part but you will soon be holding your gift from God. Can't wait to see the pictures.

My daughter just turned 1 last month.. I'm sure your wife will do great and your baby girl will too.. We had to induce on the first son still didn't want too come out so all 3 kids have been C-section.. These doctors know what's best for babies and moms these days.. Good luck and I hope all goes well..

We will keep you in our thoughts. I'm sure everything will be just fine. For calming thoughts, keep your mind on all of the future fishing trips and other great things to come with your new daughter. Start them young and make it fun!

Hang on tight and enjoy it! You can tailgate in the delivery room.
Thoughts for you both (or all I should say)!
Let's see some baby pictures!!

Travis,
I'm looking forward to the good news!
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Good luck, Travis! Prayers out to your family! Just remember, Grimes set the standard for baby pics so we'll expect some relative weight calculations!

Inducing doesn't always work. I recently received a brand new Great Grandson. That's number 4 for me. The first time they induced, it didn't work. The Doc said that the little guy had his knees and elbows locked against the sides and was hanging on with fingernails and toenails to keep from leaving a warm comfy place. Two weeks later on the second attempt it did work.
My Father was a professional soldier and once told me that there were no atheists in a foxhole. I can assure you that there are no atheists in a delivery room.
Keep us posted. You won't be the first that we've sweated it out with.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

A little update... Mom and baby are doing well, just baby hasn't come out yet. Had a little scare in the beginning when they first put the IV in, baby didn't like that and her heart rate crashed sending doctors and nurses flying around. Got things under control and we're into the second stage of induction. So for now it's lots of waiting for the medication to kick in and do its thing. So my wife is sleeping trying to relax and I'm trying to keep my mind off worrying myself sick.
Thanks for all the well wishes! It is much appreciated and why Pond Boss is what it is.

Travis, I hope your wife doesn't say what a friend of my wife's said to her husband when she was in labor pain. See turned to her husband and said, "This is your fault! I'm in a lot of pain here." You *&^^%! Of course that was under duress.

Make the best of whatever happens. It is a lot different than spawning fish.

Thanks for the updates!
Tailgating will help with your feelings of anxiety. Trust me....

Good Luck Travis, hope all is going well!! Of course keep us posted. I remember my first boy Noah, it really didn't sink in until the nurse brought him back to us at 3 in the morning to feed him. I thought to myself, oh man this is a 24/7 job now!! Have fun the roller coaster ride is just starting to reach the top!!! RC
The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!
