Kudos to modern medicine and the OB and others for literally turning into Navy SEAL Team 6 to make sure mom was taken care of. Baby is fine, mom is being stabilized as we speak.

Her parents flew in yesterday morning and her mom is spending the night with her and baby while her dad and I are at the apartment (2.5 miles away) getting some sleep.

It was pretty surreal to see it happening. Amazing and scary all in one, especially when you factor that I was even helping the staff out by just keeping mom calm throughout the process. She was given a balloon treatment that is clotting the bleeding while also being given IV and uterus contracting medicine to induce her contractions. I think that her being on pitocin for over 24 hours (not continual, but she had 2 of the maximum doses) definitely did not help the circumstances out.

Anyways, back to baby. She is a 7 lb on the dot baby girl. Ten fingers, ten toes, and she is the most adorable thing I’ve laid my eyes on.

Please keep us in your tots and pears for the next few days. Love y’all.

Congrats on getting through the best-worst-best day of your life!

If you weren't a man yet, then you are now, good luck dad!! Your little one is cute as a button. :wub:

Better ways I can use my money other than buying a car?
Sex?
Sex still hasn’t happened with any of the tinder/bumble/hinge gals :(

Matched with a new gal on hinge this morning though and got a decent conversation going. See if I can swing a date with her this weekend.

Invest what you have and keep adding to it as you go. Find a good person to manage your wealth that has a long working history of success,
That sounds too responsible.... and not at all fun

We’ve still been hanging out. I think that’s dying though. She slept over last night but nothing happened. I’ll ask her about it this weekend. We’re supposed to grab breakfast on Sunday.

Shit looks incredible JP.

We had a Polo rental in Germany a few years ago. That thing defined dangerously slow. It was so underpowered that you had to rev it up to ~3k and dump the clutch every time to take off...the engine would stall if not. Redlining every gear got old fast.

:hai:
Why are you selling Theodore and why do you want to replace it if you have the Forester? Do you need 2 cars?

Also, have money will travel? :iono:
The Forester is cool and all but I need a fun car. Theodore is fun but I don’t see myself driving it that much while I have the Forester, and honestly I want something more fun.

I don’t NEED 2 cars but I have the garage space and I can easily afford it so why not?
Why not, indeed?

Good luck in your search. Keep us posted or make a :bread: when you buy something!

Positive sign that you have future plans though.

I texted my guy yesterday, asked him to go to a concert with me Saturday night, he said he had plans, but I’d be “the first to know if anything changes.” Um.... I'm not saving my concert ticket hoping you say last minute you’re coming. Told him it sounds like I need to find another date. Haven’t heard back.
