Mrs00 and I were super blessed...both kids were born less than 2 hours after arriving at the hospital, both during the daytime. She lost a little sleep with contractions from the oldest, but we figured we better stop at 2, our luck had to change, and with the first two going so well, it couldn't go better.

Congrats dude! :yes:
I've been in the club for a little less than a year and everyone told me it gets better at 3 months . . . and it does. All three of you finally get some sleep :twitcy:

he was last online at about 10:30 so I'm guessing things were getting real after that.
My younger son received the name that I had prior to birth (they expected a boy but got a third girl). He returned the favor, and his daughter has the name I had wanted to use for a girl (named after my mother).

My family names are mostly pretty terrible.

Poor guy probably has fractured bones in his hand by now.
Oh and the Mrs is probably going through some stuff too.
Still waiting. Process is moving along. Epidural placed and Mrs. No2 is much more comfortable now. Thought I may lose some fingers for a while before that, with all the hand squeezing during contractions.
The next day, my biceps hurt. Finally figured out it was from grabbing the rails & pulling up from the mattress. That was during the breaks from crushing the bones in my ex's hands.
Katherine Elizabeth
She goes by Katie or Katie Beth.
Not too bad.
What our oldest would have been named if he was a girl. Instead got my dad as middle name since he was only grandparent not living.

See that's super pretty.
My mom's name is Victoria, which is kinda pretty, but that's about the only acceptable family name on my side.
That's a really nice name. I would have been Katherine (or Catherine) Claire if I had been a girlKatherine Elizabeth

that is a pretty name. I like the classical girl names - Emma, Claire, Charlotte, Victoria, Elizabeth, Katherine, Anna
So my grandmother's given name was Weda (went by her middle name), but with her German parents, it was pronounced VEE-dah. A friend that had an ancestry.com account pulled up a 1920 census that listed my great-grandparents and their children. My grandma (age listed as "baby", probably 2.5yo) was listed as "Veda" because that's how her name was pronounced.
And now, I'm wondering if that name Hopp gave isn't "VY-dah".

Oh the irony. Our non-existent girl was going to be Katherine Grace, after my godmother.
I prefer old school names to all the made up stuff that is popular right now. My boys were born when Aiden, Brayden, Jayden, Kayden, etc were all the rage. I couldn't go for that.
I think there's one other Caleb in my eldest's grade and no other Grady's that I know of in his school.
