For those who are curious... today is going to be... - Louis Gray

Congrats Louis! - Ross Miller

I love the Schwaggin Waggon - Eric Schlissel from twhirl

Awesome! Can't wait to meet your two new kids and hope everything goes as well as possible. - Robert Scoble

When Maryam had Milan we were actually able to use our iPhones in between contractions. (Milan was born at Stanford, just like Louis' kids are -- great wifi there). Maryam didn't want any video, so we did photos and audio. Just be prepared to put down the iPhone IMMEDIATELY when your wife needs you. Otherwise the consequences are harsh. :-) - Robert Scoble

Mazel Tov and may all go as seamlessly as possible. - Mathew A. Koeneker

Wi-Fi at Lucille Packard is great, BTW. :-) - Louis Gray

Congrats! Don't worry about us and take some time offline! - Xavier Bartholome

Louis: I told you it rocks. So, is your wife admitted already? Or did they tell her to take a walk and come back in three hours like they told Maryam? (We went to Jack in the Box, and later, even back home cause, while Maryam was having contractions, she wasn't dialated enough to give birth for nearly 12 hours after we first went to Lucille Packard (Stanford's hospital for children). - Robert Scoble

Oh, and if you know Thomas Hawk, do anything you can to get him to come by and make photos. He took the most spectacular photos of Milan (and my family) that I really treasure to this day. - Robert Scoble

Matthew- Seamless birth , hmm. Kind of counter-intuitive. Louis-all the best to you,wife and twins. - Mark Forman

Congrats! - Yuvi

Good Luck Louis! Stay positive. - Jon-Paul Bussoli

I'm going to sleep hoping we hear great news when I wake up. Just remember, photos, we want photos!!! - Robert Scoble

We are admitted. Contractions are 4-5 minutes apart. We'll be here for a while. - Louis Gray

Cool. Any bets on the time? I'll bet that they are here by noon. Ahh, long night for Louis ahead! Breathe! Breathe! Breathe! :-) - Robert Scoble

I don't dare bet on a time. That's bad luck. But I'm not going anywhere, and she's not either. Duncan Scoble Gray and Cyndy Corvida Gray might debut in the morning. - Louis Gray

now you are ego pandering! Well I am off to bed. Our house is childproofed now and is awaiting the arrival. Milan is looking forward to having a couple of new friends to share toys with. Thinking good thoughts for you both. - Robert Scoble

Be interesting to see how many posts a week you're going to be able to manage now... :-) - Andy Davies

And no, those won't be their real names. :-) - Louis Gray

Congrats man! Get ready for the wild ride. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

Best of luck throughout the night Louis. Hopefully when I wake up the two new Grays will be ready to blog. - MG Siegler

In case you guys wanted to know where you rate, we haven't told any family on either side that we're here. Didn't want to wake anybody up. Once we get close to 7 a.m. PDT, depending where we are then, maybe we'll let them know. Thanks for the notes. (Is this the first FriendFeed "live" birth?) - Louis Gray

Wooo, awesome! Congrats in advance. :) - Don MacAskill

Congrats and good luck! And they'll share a birthday with @crazybob's #2! - Cyndy

Contractions are 2-3 minutes apart now. Both of them hanging out, and both of us, hanging in... - Louis Gray

I do like the names you've chosen, though. Although you haven't managed to tack FriendFeed or Disqus in there. Maybe two middle names would work. I did that with #4 so she could be named after three family members. - Cyndy

Best wishes! - Mark Dykeman

Congrats!! :) - Paula Hawk

Wow congrats! - Steve Rubel

My daughter was born in a different age (1991). I couldn't provide updates to the world on an iPhone. Heck, all I could have done (I didn't) would have been to drive home, fire up the Mac Plus and my 2400bps modem, and posted text updates to the Deep Thoughts and Grotto BBSes. - Ontario Emperor from fftogo

@Ontario My last was born in 2005, and I couldn't even update THEN... they ban all cell usage and WiFi is still a pipe dream. They are still going with the "cell phones mess with equipment" airline story. - Cyndy

And regarding names...you could work "Obama" and "McCain" in there somehow...Duncan Scoble FriendFeed Obama Gray? :) - Ontario Emperor from fftogo

first photos better be with the cn stickers :) - Allen Stern

Congrats Louis! am excited for you. - Nick Halstead

Good luck to all four of you! - Chris Nixon

Congratulations Louis! Life as you know it has now changed. Good luck to all of you. - Rob Diana

Allen: CN stickers are in my hand _right now_. Kid you not. You might get lucky. - Louis Gray

Very exciting. Good luck! - Dave Stanley

Omg! How exciting! Congratulations!!!! - Sarah Perez

Congratulations and enjoy every minute! - RyanEs

WOOT!! Good luck to you and your wife at the hospital today Daddy Grey. - Mike Fruchter

You'er not streaming the whole event? ;-) No I agree some things are sacred. Unless you're scoble. I bet mrs scoble is happy that qik wasn't released when she gave birth... - Gez

Congratulations LG. God Bless - Keith - @tsudo from twhirl

I'll add my congratulations! I'll enjoy taking a rest from your articles :P - Tim Hoeck

Good luck. - Rishabh Mishra (p248)

Congrats Louis! I know what raising twins is like, so I'll wish you good luck as well :) - Shey

Gez: there were certainly video options when Milan was born. She made it very clear that video wasn't to be used. - Robert Scoble

This will be up there as one of if not your BEST day - Christian Anderson

Agree wholeheartedly with Christian.... - Chris Reed

CONGRATULATIONS DADDY!!!!!!!!! - Susan Beebe

Many congrats Louis! - JCunwired

Congrats! - Dave Peck

Congrats Louis. Maybe we should start a "guess the weight" meme here on Friendfeed and see if we can get it on Techmeme in honor of Louis and family :-) - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

I too will add congratulations! - Andy Tinkham from twhirl

Congratulations Louis! I can only imagine how excited you must be right now. - Caleb Elston

Waiting..waiting...waiting.... ;-) - Hutch Carpenter

Congratulations! - Steve Lynch

Ten hours now. Cigars at the ready. - Russellreno

Wishing the best for all four (!) members of the family!!! - Dustin Harris

CONGRATS LOUIS! Glad I get to be in the names :D Can't wait for pictures though. I need to get "shegeeks" and "hegeeks" schwag over there asap! - Corvida

I hope you got plenty of Coffee and brought your laptop battery plug. It's going to be a loooooooong day/night. Hey at least you got FF to kill the time :-) - Mike Fruchter

Update: Things are obviously not the fastest I've ever seen, but progress is progress. We're at six cm. I didn't want to do a cm by cm update, but here we are! Nurses seem excited, so I'll pretend I am. - Louis Gray

This is one occasion when comments really need timestamps... - Andy Davies

This just in..... LG still waiting as of 5 minutes ago. Now in hour 13. http://friendfeed.com/e... - Russellreno

I am jealous. The arrival of one was a joy. Two would have blown my mind! - Capn' One Eye - adrift

Turning to superstition a bit, I got out of my A's shirt, which I've been wearing since we got here. Let's see if wearing the DISQUS shirt I got from Daniel Ha does the trick. :-) - Louis Gray

All in good time. Heck, I would be excited as hell. :) - Mathew A. Koeneker

For those watching this thread, obviously things have taken longer than we expected. Dilation has been slow, and the doctors are talking C-Section. We're trying to avoid. Babies are doing great. - Louis Gray

C-Section imminent, as labor stalled (you might have noticed). Hopefully, back with good news soon. - Louis Gray

Well, this is the sixth thread goin' on the twins, so (1) Louis we're hangin' with ya buddy and (2) get on with it already ... I want to go to sleep :) Seriously, positive, warm and happy thoughts ... and coffee. - Charlie Anzman

at this rate, i think Scoble's gonna have to change his bet from noon Friday to noon on Saturday! - Susan Beebe

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

YEAH!!! Congratulations!!! This is wonderful news - both healthy!! awesome....next, what are their NAMES?? - Susan Beebe

bump for the oldest thread i've ever found on ff, post-congrads, :) - chaz2b
