Foo - Baby Boy!

After roughly 70 hours of unmedicated labor, my wife gave birth to our son yesterday. Both are doing well and are home. He is the most tolerant and calm baby I have ever seen! I'm sure that may change, but we're very thankful for that.

Here are the stats and I'm going to try to get some pics up.

Tiernan Ross "TR" Adamson
July 20th, 2006 (The day Floyd flew!!)
9 lbs. 0 oz., 22 in.

Oh, and he likes to pedal in the air!:D

Cool! Congrats to you..and especially the wife for giving birth. As long as he is healthy and mom is alright, then everything is great. Again..congratulations!

Congrats!

70 Hours!!!!!!!!! OMFG.

Congratulations.

Your wife's labor makes FLandis look like a wuss. Congrats to you and your family on your new bundle of joy!

Good god that's creepy. It's like a tiny human being...

What about the guys who do the RAAM? Going full throttle at 23 hours a day for 8 days?

Nine Pounds!?!:eek: Your poor wife!! Glad everything is okay and that everyone is doing well. Congrats to you!!!

awwwww.. he's so cute! congrats!

What would you rather do, ride a bike across the country or piss out a kidney stone for 70 hours straight?

AAAAWWWWW.......... :beer:

Congratulations to all three of you. :)

Would you rather pass a small jagged piece of mineral or a larger smooth orb? I passed a small stone once and it hurt like hell. I don't think I want to experience child birth but I bet it's about as painful as being shot in the leg with a .44 or having to cut your arm off.

It's like trying to get out of your car through the exaust pipe.

Yeah, I'd rather ride across the country too.

It's actually not that bad.

Except the fact that metal isn't really very elastic.

Are those things contagious? Congrats! :beer:

you might want to tell your avatar to stay away from your new child, i dont think they would get along good. but at least hes a biker already! congrats

OHMYGOSH your poor brave wife! Beautiful child. Congratulations!

YES! She contracted the condition by getting something from me!;)

She is one tough woman! She is a marathon runner, but I still love her, and has run 6 marathons and a 50K trail run. Plus she went through just over seven years of grad school, so she knows pain.

Mucho Congrats!!

70 hrs, no meds and 9 lbs? I hope your wife is resting and taking it easy! Congrats! :)

congrats... cute baby!

After roughly 70 hours of unmedicated labor,

Holy crap.

I was begging for an epidural just watching my wife give birth....

Congratulations on your new son!

Is anyone sleeping at your house?

70 hours? That's almost three days, without medication? She's one tough lady! Mazel tov!

Is anyone sleeping at your house?
Oh sure! He's getting lots of sleep...while daddy holds him past midnight.:mad: He's been sleeping pretty well after that. The last two nights have only had two one hour feedings.:D

Thanks for all the congrats y'all!!:D :D I'm sorry that I haven't been as active on this board as I'd like to be. I've only recently found it, as well as only recently have started back to riding, and find that it is a great way to stay motivated to ride even after having long layoffs for one reason or another. Except of course for the P&R forum which just makes me mad, yet it's like crack.
