The Birth

My son was born on the Feb 6th, 2009 at 3:13 PM.
At the time I was still working for a crap company in NYC. I had finally moved to Philly with Jen during her 7th month of pregnancy. Before the permanent move, I was coming up every weekend to be with Jen. Once I had made the move I was taking the Mega-buss into NYC every morning.
Now its sometime in the 9th month. The morning kenny was born started out like any other morning. I woke up at 5am, out the house by 5:30 or 6 am to catch the 6:30 bus into NY. I was doing this while looking for a job. Just as I got through the tunnel I got the call from Jen. I think my water broke. I called my boss who has 5 kids of his own and said I am going to be out for a few days. Looks like my baby is coming. We had saved an Amtrak ticket just for this occasion. I got a train and was back to JenB by 10, 1030am. Jen was fully prepared to drive herself to the hospital if either me or her mom couldn't get to her in time. As fate would have it we were got back in time. I called the doctor and we bought her to the hospital that morning. They sent us home, saying JenB wasn't ready yet. Well around noon she started having serious pain. We took her back. Man she was in pain. supposedly she was having back labor pain, which is the most painful (now for those guys who have had a kid you will understand this better. And so will you girls who have had kids). As I said, JenB was in some serious pain and looked at me and said with all the seriousness she could. If I would have know how painful this was going to be we wouldn't be having a kid. Inside I was laughing my ass off. I told her that I loved her and tried to hold her hand. She wanted nothing to do with me at the moment. I knew she blamed me for her current predicament. What could I do? Except take the heat (It our role in life during these time huh fella's). It's like 1pm and I'm beat. The nurse gave us a cot and her mom and me took turns taking naps. While I was asleep I was told due to Jen being in pain and my snoring Jen told her mom she wanted to kick me in the head as I was sleeping so soundly. What can I say I was tired. Around 2 jen was in some serious pain and wanted drugs. They finally gave her the drug of all drugs, an epidural. She was now feeling no pain. The nurse checked Jen and she was about to have the baby. So they called the Doctor from another patient.I was in the bathroom due to eating a pizza and almost missed my sons birth. But I got out just in time to watch Kenneth enter the world. I was so proud. And I got to cut the cord. It was awesome.
