Live From Schmoodles' Delivery Room
It's 9 December at about 17:45 and Leslie is 10cm dilated and ready to begin the adrenaline inducing second stage of labor (i.e., delivery of Schmoodles). Leslie began laboring at 02:30 this morning (while I slept nearby). At 08:37 Dr. Newman burst the amniotic sac and after a few hours of severe nausea and roaming about the maternity wing, Leslie had the anesthesiologist administer an epidural. She coasted for several hours after that as contractions intensified and Schmoodles dropped (like the snow which has also dropped here in the north country over the past several hours--our first big storm of the year). Leslie now has bragging rights over The Momma who labored a mere 13 hours before delivering Leslie. Both the nurse and doctor have felt the Schmoodles' head and said that he has a lot of hair (for his sake, I hope it stays with him throughout his 30s). Now it's push time with The Momma and Scott cheer-leading. Anne appears to be in the best position to win the Schmoodles Challenge with her guess of 9 December @ 18:14 pm (Mountain Time [Phoenix] which is 19:14 pm Central Time [Illinois]). Anne edged out Deb (sis) and Annand (brother from another mother) by a few hours. Stand by for more news soon including the unveiling of Schmoodles' formal name (hint: begins with "Sch").

Hang in there! You must be exhausted. Hmm... begins with "Sch"? You are going with Schlomo after all, aren't you!
ReplyDeleteGood luck, guys...I'm so glad you decided to name him Schjonboy :0)
ReplyDeleteWay to go Leslie! Can't wait to see photos of the fam! I love you!
ReplyDeleteSchaeffer? Go Leslie Go
ReplyDeleteLesly you look so beautiful. I can't wait to read more. Scott, hang in there. You guys are going to make great parents. I couldn't be more proud and more excited. I don't think I have even slept yet since I received your text last night. PUSH LESLY PUSH!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd you better be kidding me with the whole SCH thing, even though I think that Schmoodles would be most fitting since that is what everyone in the family has gotten used to calling him anyways. LOL Korey says he thinks Price would make a lovely name.
ReplyDeleteKristin would like you to name the baby Kale or Gunner.
ReplyDeleteKyle says he thinks the name Spock is most fitting.
PUSH!! PUSH! Hee-hee-hee-hoooo.....
ReplyDeleteKorey wants everyone to know that we only have a short period of time to enjoy a world filled with only one Scott so everyone should live it up while they can.
ReplyDeleteKristin said her first line of duty is to teach The Schmoodle's the train game.
schuyler? Origin: Dutch, Meaning: Scholar?
ReplyDeleteOk one last guess. either Schott or Scholar (not the Dutch derivation) or I am completely wrong and it doesn't even start with sch.......either way I am thrilled for you. What a precious gift.
ReplyDeleteIt's 1:05 AM EST and no news. Leslie, may I give you strength to know you are like millions of other women throughout history to have gone through this amazing torture for such a wonderful reason. Be brave!
ReplyDeleteAnything yet?
ReplyDeleteGiving affirmations to Scott and Leslie. Power in numbers! The snow storm is raging but love of family and friends keeps us all warm.
ReplyDeleteSchmoodles' formal name (hint: begins with "Sch")!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, the hunt begins.
Here's a list I came up with thanks to IMDB & Google :)
Schindler (he'll always have a list of things)
Schmidt (Everything is About Schmidt!)
Schwarzenegger (CA memories)
Schneider (from "One Day at a Time")
Schumacher (F1 & NHRA racers + a horse jockey)
Schroeder (part to of the Peanuts Gang)
I'm excited to hear the name + the pictures to come of him swimming in the rain bucket & stomping the compost pile ;)
