Kenny well done mate !!!!

I wish for you and yours the same happiness our kids have given us

having a newborn and being on CPAP should not be much of an issue. As they get older you might have to go a bit careful, I found my two boys rolling marbles down the hose and into the humidifier water once

Ken, sorry to give you belated congrats, but I was away for 10 days. Took me a while to come upon your wonderful thread. I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU AND YOUR WIFE!!!! I know that the other situation was extremely traumatic, but you will be blessed with a wonderful child this time, who will grow strong and healthy, with God's help. Parenthood is fabulous--I remember all of the wonderful times with my kids, and can only wish you the very best. What a heck of a Christmas/New Year's present! Know that you and your family will be in my prayers as the term of pregnancy goes along, and I look forward to your announcement that you're a happy daddy! CONGRATS, CONGRATS, CONGRATS!

At 27 weeks, she spontaneously gave birth to Andrew on our living room floor, alone. Luckily, I was just around the corner coming home. It was VERY, VERY traumatic for all three of us. He fought for a week in the NICU at Providence Saint Joseph's Hospital but developed Level 4 bilateral bleeding (IVH) in his brain. We took him off life support on September 7, 2008. He died in my arms.

However, I would like to announce...

I AM GOING TO BE A DADDY AGAIN!

We are 12 weeks along, and the baby may be born on July 4th!

I guess it's time for me to scour the board for tips on dealing with apnea and sleeplessness with a new baby!

Congrats! You and your wife are very brave and very blessed.

Seriously? That's pretty funny. Thank God they weren't using M80s! I may put a lock on our bedroom door. We'll see.

We just did our second trimester screening yesterday, and it's a boy! There it was... plain as day!

Having another boy is hugely emotional since the loss of Andrew, but we are very, very excited!

July 4th!

I suppose after last night's sleep (AI - 0.8, HI - 3.8, AHI - 4.6), I'll know what I'll feel like for the first three months. Man, I don't know WHAT happened last night. The night before I had 0.0 AI! I feel like utter crapola today... like I got hit by a small truck.

Wonderful news, Kenny. I agree, bolt that door! Apart from anything else, the kids love to play hospital, and the mask is so enticing....
