as some of you may know me and my wife were having a baby
he was finally born yesterday after being 2 weeks overdue
there were some serious complications during labour and there were times where it looked like i may lose both my child and my wife
they are both fine but the babies heart stopped several times, and as a result they had to take some pretty extreme measures to get him out in hurry, because of this, my wife lost a very large amount of blood and it wasnt looking great for a little while there
he was born at 9.14 am on the 21st of october (back to the future day) and his name is mason
because of what was mentioned above and several other complications that happened, my wifes and therefor my stay in hospital is going to be a fair bit longer than expected, whilst we resolve some issues and both her and mason can get there strength back
the result of this is i wont be around at all for probably the next 2-3 days, and then will be on for very limited time for about a week after that whilst i am getting my family back to normal
i appreciate everyones patience for any delays in any projects i am involved in, and im very sorry for any inconvenience this causes anyone
thank you
bunny

Good Luck.

Focus on getting the new munchkin and the wife better. Hell, take a full mental health vacation from this place and, if you feel like you have to keep people in the loop, send cody or someone else emails, text, PMs, whatever for updates and let them deal with the issues in the interim.
Bestof luck and well wishes for the health of everyone. I've seen how rough times like this can be and you don't need any added stress.

thanks for the understanding and kind words, and ill be back when i can to annoy people with baby pictures
Get the FVCK out of here.
Family ALWAYS comes first, and everyone here on GH is praying for your bub and Mrs to pull through.
YES we would all love to see Bunny Junior here on GH soon, just take care and look after the TWO MOST important people in the world right now.

My 3-month old daughter came out with breathing issues and they had a NICU team in there for what felt like a half an hour, later they told me it was less than five minutes. It's scary stuff when the baby doesn't come out crying. But 3 months in, both mom and baby are doing great.
Congrats, man.

This is like the Geekhack version of the royal baby! Can't wait for you to "annoy us" with baby pics.
Only this Baby isn't a royal bludge on the British Taxpayer, that's the distinction you have to make clear here.
He is someone that is highly valued and needed at this time and I'm sure he shall brighten Geekhack when we all see him.

Absolutely the best wishes for a speedy recovery for everyone, but it sounds like you are in good hands.
Take as long as you like, sir, family always comes first, especially in situations like this.
Little bits of plastic pale into insignificance compared to the miracle of life, no matter how fragile it is.

you had to deal with there. I'm glad everything turned out OK.
And I agree, Mason is a cool name!
As someone else pointed out, take a time-out with your family somewhere not HOSPITAL - whenever you get the chance!

I really hope the best to your wife and son, (of course to you too) and wish that the whole Bunny family gets to go home and in good health soon.
Right now you have bigger things to take care of than anything you could be doing here on GH or CtrlAlt. So please take all the time you need getting your family home and settled in. This is an important time in your lives and you want to be sure to take in all in and not get distracted by us or anything else.
Mason is a great name too!
For now just give your wife all the support you can. Also don't forget to rest, because when the Bunny family gets to go home you'll need it.

Great news :thumb: .
Don't go overboard with posting all your personal life on the web otherwise it could end up like another "Everlasting Episode" from UnREAL.
Certain things are best kept private, due to all the "Creepos" that now inhabit this virtual world, which quite frankly isn't safe nor comforting. The best pics and videos you keep for yourself to share with your loved ones but for us strangers we don't deserve that type of trust because we are just that, complete strangers.
Glad everything went well, now comes the real hard part - being a full-time daddy and of course your wife's most perfect husband 8) .

Mason's job is to sleep, eat and grow. Mommy's job is to take care of Mason, and daddy's job is to take care of mommy.

My 7yr old acts like a teenager already but I still remember when she was only a couple pounds. :eek:It is difficult adjusting to having a child because just when you thought you had everything covered, the child changes.That's the very thing you have to adjust to :)) I know this first hand with my 5 year daughter.
You bought her? :o thought that was illegal these days? :P

You'll get used to being always tired trust me :))How true this is. I wonder if there come an age where you are not tired anymore.

hey guys, probably not the right place to put this but it does affect ctrl altStay strong :thumb:
as some of you may know me and my wife were having a baby
he was finally born yesterday after being 2 weeks overdue
there were some serious complications during labour and there were times where it looked like i may lose both my child and my wife
they are both fine but the babies heart stopped several times, and as a result they had to take some pretty extreme measures to get him out in hurry, because of this, my wife lost a very large amount of blood and it wasnt looking great for a little while there
he was born at 9.14 am on the 21st of october (back to the future day) and his name is mason
because of what was mentioned above and several other complications that happened, my wifes and therefor my stay in hospital is going to be a fair bit longer than expected, whilst we resolve some issues and both her and mason can get there strength back
the result of this is i wont be around at all for probably the next 2-3 days, and then will be on for very limited time for about a week after that whilst i am getting my family back to normal
i appreciate everyones patience for any delays in any projects i am involved in, and im very sorry for any inconvenience this causes anyone
thank you
bunny
