Extra Extra....Read all about it: Worlds most beautiful baby born to hot mama.

Dateline Greenacres Washington May 19,2011. the day started out like any other. Brenda Headed off to her job and me to mine. I knocked off work a little early so I could mow the lawn and get ready to go to the hospital for the induction.

Here is Brenda before we left....late of course, but this time it was my fault and the hospital wasn't really on a timeline.

Going Up.

Brenda needed some medication before inducing labor.

Here she is. The side effects of the medication was very minor contractions that the machine could read, but Brenda could not feel. It turned out not to be a good thing for the baby as the heart rate dropped from 150 to 80 everytime there was a contraction and we really thought it may be somewhat serious when 3 nurses ruched in and gave Brenda a shot to stop contractions, gave her 2 IV's of fluid in about 10 minutes, and had her get on all fours to relieve pressure and get the heart rate up. Mine at this time was starting to rise as well without medication

The contractions subsided mostly, but there still were some and the heart rate continued to dip with every mild contraction. the nurse hinted they may have to do a C-section. Then 5 minutes later everyone came into the room in full scrubs and I guess that was the clue we were heading to surgery. Little different than we thought, but the umbilical chord was around the outside of the head and getting pinched with every contraction so if the contractions got any more severe the baby would have been in more trouble so there is no time like the present.

We managed to get a pic right before she got hauled off to surgery.

She was totally with it during the surgery and I loved to look over the screen to see the whole thing. Lots of blood and tools poking out of her...interesting. The doctors must have thought I may get faint, because they told me not to stand up and look to much, but I just had to see him get pulled out.

There is James Patrick De Jong. 8lbs 3ozs 20" long and looking great. Born May 20, 2011 at 2:44 am

Mama and baby. Brenda was smitten at first sight, just like she was with me. I also was very happy and although I hate to admit it...I cried

That also made Brenda even more happy.

Then I went with James to the next room for monitoring and all the normal stuff. We had a great time while Brenda got sewed up.
