X and Y - Fuck these letters

I had a baby and even though the dates on these are correct, they are wrong.

I pre-typed a lot of these and I was going to release them throughout January.  That didn't happen.  What happened was some of them came out on the right schedule and others didn't.  I don't know why... they just didn't.  Of the few I didn't have typed, this is them.  X and Y are shitty letters to pick topics for.  It sucks.

So, I will use this space to tell you about having my baby.  I got to witness the entire thing.  Induction, breaking her water, them shooting her up with drugs several times, the entire labor and seeing my son's head and then body come out.  It was all very touching.  I spent some quality time with my wife and she cried... a lot.  Women do that sometimes.  I'm totally tough and didn't.  I got to hold my baby before everyone else.  It was pretty awesome.  He took him to the nursery and got him weighed and checked out.

The baby had a sore on his head when he came out and he ended up being sick enough to be readmitted the day after we left the hospital.  He spent 5 days under a heat lamp and his mother spend 2 days getting a treatment for some sort of illness that she had due to her clotting disorder and then being pregnant.  So, my baby AND my wife had to be readmitted.  Awesome.  I ended up taking an extra week off of work and that still didn't feel like enough, especially since we had to go back.

The baby is doing fine now and everything seems great.  He was born the day after me.  We actually went up to the hospital on my birthday.  I'm pretty sure that he would agree that X and Y fucking suck.  I doubt anyone reads this, but if anyone ever happens to... this is why everything was delayed this year.  And it is a damn good reason!
