Nicholas Anton Polzin birth day.

2:30 in the morning Wednesday Lindsey felt cramps, by 4am she woke me up to tell me and I told her to relax and go back to bed. We did not, by 4:30 she was counting the contractions, the doctor told us last week to call him when the contractions were 5 minutes apart for 2 hours. We started timing and they were between 2 and 4 minutes. She called her OB at 5am and he replied, I'll see you at the hospital. Off we were, got there at 5:30. Her water broke around 6:15.

The baby was stuck because he was coming out face up instead of face down like they are suppose to. They did a few tricks that actually flipped the baby over. 2 hours of pushing, 1hr and 15 min of which was when he was stuck. Once flipped over, 40 minutes and he was out.

I'll spare you details but during the most intense parts of the labor, I was holding up her body and head with my left arm. My right arm was hold up the right leg, there is no 50 yard line, I was in the touchdown zone and could see everything. I'd look down to see the progress, then look up to see the White Sox game on tv. It was perfect.

Lindsey told me by 8am that during labor, I wasn't to touch my phone. I complied. Sent out texts to my family letting them know what was going down. Sorry I couldn't tell you all more.
When the head and body came out, I was so anxious to see what kind of baby we had, I first saw the cord, nope that's not it, then looked farther down, and damn his legs are in the way...the doctors then rolled him when i saw the coolest thing, his package. I shouted out, "Lindsey, its a BOY!" "It is? she replied" I looked back to confirm, then back to her, "YES". It was awesome.

So please let me introduce
Nicholas Anton Polzin. Born 5/13/09 @ 12:05pm, 9lbs 3 ounces and 21 inches long. 10 fingers, 10 toes. Perfect.
