Noah Peter Vischer....

9 months ago we found out our love for each other was going to spill out into another life and today, February 26, 2010 at 7:37 AM, we met for the very first time. I don't think it's possible for me (us) to adore or cherish him anymore than we already do, all 6 lbs. 13 oz. and 19 inches of him.... "Him" .... He's real.... Flesh and bone.... and he's my (our) son.

Pushing! Sweet sassy molassy!

Contacting Dr. whoever.... Get your sweet buns in here because we have begun pushing.... Please pray Courtney's naseau subsides because its still there and she has it when she moves which poses a problem when she is pushing because it's not the most graceful of actions... It doesn't look like it will be too long from here and hopefully the next post is a picture.... of our beautiful.... i mean, HANDSOME baby boy!

9+???

Ok so apparently hospitals just make up measurements once you get to a certain point.... An hour ago she was 8-9 cm dialated and now she's 9+ cm... Now I know what you're thinking, it's probably the same thing I thought.... 9 plus what? I'm pretty sure that's not a measurement from where I come from but more of cliffhanger to keep people awake when they could be getting some sleep.... Is it time for pushing? nope.... Did we stay the same? nope.... Are we 9 and a half cm? no, you're 9+.... uhhhhh, wha??? The next time they check her they'll probably present it to me as a formula i have to figure out..... "9 x pie square rooted".... and then naturally i'll try to act like I know exactly what that number is, "oh right, yeah, like the pythagorean theorom, I gotcha"... Who's the dummy now? That's what i'll say... When this whole things plays out, i'll show them. Sorry this is so random and I'm really just venting frustration but I think the sleepiness is getting the best of me.... We'll see you on the other side of 9+!

I guess I'm still mortal....

The reign of the "java power" has quite abruptly come to an end... The once super hero powers that I felt not so long ago are a faded memory and, in my mind, seem like it was a completely different person... I am left with feelings of normalcy and can yet again feel my eye lids, not getting heavy, just actually feel them.... so mortal... ok maybe they're a bit heavy... much like the 18 pound bowling ball you see at the bowling lanes and think "pssh, i can handle that", one separated shoulder, one broken foot and a bruised ego later you realize you're not a man's man... Courtney is still sleeping through my ramblings thankfully.... I swear I look at her and she's a greek goddess swallowed up in clouds of white blankets resting so peacefully like God has her trapped in hia hands like a child would trap a lightning bug and holds so tight yet so lovingly.... I'm not sure at what point in my life I made the correct turn that God granted me this beautiful treasure but I wish I knew..... that way I could thank God with all that I have for giving me that fork in the road.... That fork would be everything to me.... maybe that's why God wouldn't tell me... I'd probably worship the fork.... Shoot, who wouldn't if that fork gave everyone what i have people would be lining up the block and creating the second coming of the million man march... Thanks God for the fork.... who knew i'd be talking eating utensils at 4 in the morning on the day my first child is born... I'll talk later about my first born.... I'm almost weeping and he's not even born yet.... Time to get rested up for more weeping...

Movin' on up...

..... to 8-9 cm dialated. We are finally getting closer to having a baby boy. Courtney is still doing well and getting much deserved, and needed, rest. I highly doubt anyone is reading this but if you are please pray for her as she is still dealing with quite a bit of nasuea when she has to move around.... that won't bode well when she has to start pushing.... Furthermore, cup of coffee is half gone.... I just had a brilliant idea of a good comic book.... it's about a super hero that drinks coffee to get his super powers, much like Popeye and his spinach, but instead of strength he gets superior speed and impeccable awareness of his surroundings.... Not to blow the end but I think I'm the super hero.... Not absolutely sure but I'll keep you posted.

Late update....

Sorry this is a late update but.... I did get my coffee... well I should say my 2nd cup of coffee, the first cup left a bit to be desired... Anyways, apparently at around 12:30 the nurse checked Courtney while I wasn't paying attention and she's now at 7 cm and still resting.... The nurse will check her again in about 2:30 and I will provide further updates. mmmmm coffee mmmmm my parents brought it for me, thank goodness for family =)

Still holding strong...

Courtney's still holding strong and has been able to get some sleep from time to time which is really good. Other than that no real updates though unfortunately...... i'm about to get a cup of coffee.... that's about it....

Completely effaced!

Courtney is 100% effaced and dialated to a full 6 cm now.... Unfortunately Court's blood pressure was dropping so they upped her fluids and that caused her to get naseous but she's doing better now and has been sleeping on and off which is a real blessing. Also, the doctor said he could feel some hair on Noah! Man I can't wait to see him....

In the delivery room!!

Well the moment has finally arrived... We have been admitted to the delivery room and Courtney has had the epidural, had her water broken and is at 5-6 cm dialated... Please pray that Noah comes safely and quickly!! I (Pete) will, hopefully, post further updates as the delivery progresses.

Month 9
