Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 One or the other, I'll wager. Congrats
Grizzly Dave Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 ah, I remember those days. Both of our kids were about a month late, every time the phone rang at work everyone is the department was "prairie dogging" over my cubicle wall to see if I was gonna go rushing home. They finally induced the first, 2 days later he finally came out. After waiting a month late, the second one came quick, I got to catch my baby girl at home, no, it wasn't planned that way... Grizz
Subdeacon Joe Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 PRAYER FOR A WOMAN WITH CHILD O Sovereign Lord Jesus Christ our God, the Source of life and immortality, bless Thy handmaiden (n.) and the fruit of her body that was given by Thee; favor them and animate this child by Thy Holy Spirit, and let it grow a healthy and pure body, with well-formed limbs. Sanctify this child's body, mind, heart, and vitals, and grant this infant that is to be born an intelligent soul; establish it in the fear of Thee. A faithful angel, a guardian of soul and body, do thou vouchsafe this child. Protect, keep, strengthen, and shelter the child until the hour of birth. O Lord Jesus Christ, place this infant upon the right hand of Thy grace, and through Thy Holy Spirit sanctify and renew this child unto life everlasting, that it may be a communicant of Thy Heavenly Kingdom. Amen. O All-Merciful Christ our God, look down and protect Thy handmaiden (n.), from fear and from evil spirits that seek to destroy the work of Thy hands. And when her hour and time is come, deliver her by Thy grace. Look with compassionate eye and deliver Thy handmaiden, from pain. Lighten her infirmity in the time of travail and grant her fortitude and strength for birth giving, and hasten it by Thine almighty help. For this is Thy glorious work, the power of Thine omnipotence, the work of Thy grace and tender-heartedness. Amen. My most gracious Queen, my hope, O Mother of God, the joy of those in sorrow, help us, for we are helpless. Intercede thou and pray thy Son, Christ our God, that He lighten for His handmaid (n.) this season while she is with child, and that He ease the burden of heaviness of her, and bestow His blessings upon the child to which she is giving birth. For we know no other help save thee, no other hope save thee, O Mother of God that will guard and protect her and her child. For by thine intercession and help we send up glory and thanksgiving for all things unto the One God in Trinity, the Creator of all, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted February 14, 2011 Author Posted February 14, 2011 Rick, Already got one of each, but hey one more of each is just fine too! Well, she had contractions all day yesterday, getting closer and closer as the evening went on. And she's been having strong Braxton Hicks contractions for nearly a month. "Due date" is the 23rd. Long story short, late last night she soaked in tub and hasn't had one since.
Iron Pony Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Tell her you are switching to cross dressing b western and that requires not only new clothing but an entire new battery of guns. She'll be in the delivery room shortly thereafter. Prayers for a safe delivery and healthy child, pard or pardette makes no difference. Hoping the little one comes out kicking and screaming ready to drive both of you all crazy.

Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted February 14, 2011 Author Posted February 14, 2011 Hoping the little one comes out kicking and screaming ready to drive both of you all crazy. With pards like you... oh never mind. Thanks guys!
Blue Steel Duke Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Praying for a healthy child, regardless of the gender! BSD
Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted February 17, 2011 Author Posted February 17, 2011 According to my wife, tomorrow we will have a new baby here.
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 First one was a boy, second was a girl. I told my wife I wanted a pony or a good bird dog next and she went and had her tubes tied. I never could figure women out.
Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted February 18, 2011 Author Posted February 18, 2011 It for real this time guys. TTYL DDD
Hal A. Looyah #83098 Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Dirty Dan informs me that Canyon James Stewart was born early this morning at 2:12am. He is 19.5 inches long and 7lb 1oz. Mom is dressed and ready to go home, but must stay the mandatory 24 hrs. The baby has "big ol man hands" according to dad, so he'll be shooting OMV. Keep this young couple in your prayers.
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Yippee~!! And a hearty welcome to Canyon James! Heck... the lad comes with a built-in SASS alias!!
Subdeacon Joe Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 A prosperous and peaceful life, health, salvation, and success in all good works, grant O Lord, to Thy servant Canyon James, and preserve and protect him for many years! With a name like Canyon James Stewart he's a natural for a Winchester lever gun.
Chili Pepper Kid, SASS #60463 Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Congratulations!!! Cool name. Chili Pepper Kid
Hal A. Looyah #83098 Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 I've been notified of a NAME CHANGE. Canyon Justice Stewart.
Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted February 19, 2011 Author Posted February 19, 2011 Howdy all. We just got home. Yep we had a name change. Wetsern drama inspired. While watching Gunsmoke in the room, I thought to myself,"Well now, ol' Matt Dillon is out for justice!" I rolled over and looked at my wife and said "What do ya think of the name Justice." She just smiled and said she loved it. Hence the name change. Leave it to James Arness. From the looks of his hands, he'll need some Old Model Vaqueros.
