C-Section Imminent. Won't be Long Now. (Wish us Luck!) - http://friendfeed.com/rooms...
Good Luck! Welcome the wee ones to the world. :) - Abby Martin
Good luck, and I hope everything goes well for your wife. I assume you won't be allowed in until afterwards? - Ontario Emperor from fftogo
Ontario, I'll be there for all of it. Just not performing the surgery myself. - Louis Gray
Shuttle is now prepared for take off! GOOD LUCK!! - Mike Fruchter
Hope all is going well! - MLx from twhirl
Good luck! Just don't peek over the curtain. ;) - Cyndy
guess it;s too late to look in to a natural birth? C-Sections are way too common in America. - Stefan Hayden
Certain things are best left to professionals. :) - Ontario Emperor from fftogo
I stayed with my wife the whole way thru her C-Section. Was so overcome with emotion, I didn't really have a reaction to seeing all her guts laying on her tummy. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Good luck, Louis. Hope all goes well for your wife and the twins :) - Sally Church
@stefan, this has been going on for Louis' wife all day. When my daughter was born in 91, we were at hospital all day. Towards the end, our doctor was thinking c-section and his brother (also a doctor) was thinking forceps. In the end, they did neither. - Ontario Emperor from fftogo
luck and prayers - Tad, Anti-Immanentizer from fftogo
good luck louis and wife. FF is cheering for you all. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Both of my daughters were C Sections, I was there holding my wife's hand, It was very emotional. I went right to intensive care with the baby. - Victor Ryden
Back in 1991, I probably would have been kicked out if a c-section were performed. Then again, we had a conservative doctor. - Ontario Emperor from fftogo
Good luck! - Mike Doeff
God bless the twins. Forgive me for taking a second to raise awareness of Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome http://www.tttsfoundation.org/ or Facebook http://www.facebook.com/group... - Gabriel
good luck, good luck. - AJ Kohn
Louis, best wishes to your wife for a safe delivery. I'm sure she's in good hands. - Larry Kless from twhirl
best wishes to all of you - your "E" team is rooting for you! - robin
Good Luck...I was live-blogging until the wee minutes before my daughter was born...my wife thought i was a freak...I wish there was Twitter back then...... :) - Snay Trivedi
Ontario, were they still doing that in 91? Jason was with me for all four sections. I sent him to recovery with the baby every time and then met them there when they were done. - Cyndy
I have a friend who has twins and he was commenting on the wide variety of twin support web sites he used. Do some Googling after you get back home and get what rest you can. - Victor Ryden
best of luck. Fatherhood is kickass - Duncan Riley
Lots of luck to you! - Francine Hardaway from twhirl
good luck! word of advice: don't make the mistake i did and get so excited that you blast the news out on the social networks before remembering to make sure all the family has been notified. For some reason they get touchy about having to find out through Facebook... - Marco(aureliusmaximus)
Almost there Louis and Kristine!!! we are all sooo happy for you guys!! closer, closer!! Yes, there are lots of folks thinking and praying for you =) - Susan Beebe
@Marco, my family found out we were at the hospital this morning via Facebook, and most of them found out about the pregnancy via my blog and follow-up e-mail. I'm establishing a new standard. :-) - Louis Gray
Best of luck! - Chris Rossini
ugh you lucky, lucky man - I tried that, worked ok for me until the actual "hey the c-section went fine, oh by the way here is the sex and name of our new baby" part - Marco(aureliusmaximus)
Patrick was a C-section baby. Louis will be busy for a while. I don't agree with Cyndy. I watched the whole thing and found it fascinating. The smell isn't good, though. They use a cauterizing knife and the smell is something I will never forget. - Robert Scoble
@scoble i was thrilled to have that curtain between me and the action - Marco(aureliusmaximus)
Good luck Louis. I hope all goes well. Your next post better be names, weights, and pictures! - Mark Krynsky
Oh wow a cauterizing knife - burning flesh eek! but, that's a clean cut that reduces infection, so good practice. If I had to go thru that, I'd want Ken to hold my hand the entire time! - Susan Beebe
sounds familiar... 40 hrs of labor for me followed by a c-section then I was holding a perfectly beautiful daughter!!! Good luck :) - kbourke
I guess I was a little nerdy during my wife's C-section. I made the doctor give me a running narration, and she practically have me a tour of my wife's parts. My wife was laughing at me. - Kenneth LeFebvre from fftogo
Good luck Louis - Alejandro
The countdown is on! Said it already but best of luck to you and your wife !!! - Charlie Anzman
Robert, my husband got sick during my miscarriage. I can't imagine if he'd looked at my c-section. :) Better safe than passing out, I always say. - Cyndy
Godspeed. is there a FF waiting room? ;-) - Karim
Congrats!!! - Anthony Farrior
good luck!! and congrats in advance! - Sarah Perez
Well, this thread got fragmented. Now following THREE. Warm happy thoughts! - Charlie Anzman
Exciting times! I live a mile from the hospital, so if you need anything, don't hesitate to tweet. - John McCrea
Thumbs up and happy thoughts. keep us posted. - Chris Baskind
Best of Luck! Where is that link to the live Scoble video of the blessed event :-)? - Nancy Babyak
Update re my comments on c-sections in 1991 - I was confused. My sister in law had an *emergency* c-section in 89, and my brother in law was not allowed in for that. - Ontario Emperor from fftogo
Good luck. - Muthu Ramadoss
Baby Grays are here! The boy clocked in at 9:01 at 5 pounds, and the girl weighed in at 4 pounds, 3 oz at 9:02. Both healthy. - Louis Gray
