Nitro Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 My friend, "brother", and fellow 101 Moncton Air Cadet is going to become a father sometime today or this weekend... He made a poor decision about 8 months ago (on my washing machine, no less), and now he's getting a little bundle of, uh, joy... It seems to be turning into a 101 Moncton tradition, sadly (the poor decision, not making it on my washing machine). But things haven't been looking good lately for the mother, and now, more then a month early, she's going into labor. I would ask anyone who so wishes (of any religion) to pray for the safety of the mother and the child (my god-child), and to give strength to my "brother", Matt Magee, to help him with what's still to come. I'm not asking for opinions, just a little extra help for two basically good people in a bad situation. If you don't wish to pray, for whatever reason, keep it to yourself. Yes, they made a dumb choice. Yes, it's their fault... But that doesn't mean we abandon them in their time of need. I thank, in advance, anyone who chooses to pray.
Rebel Loyaltist Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 I'll keep that in mind Nitro. It's always very sad when the mother and the child are threatened. Also I'd ask of all of you to keep my History teacher in mind hwo is having surgery (brain clot) tomorrow and will most likely be out a few weeks and my friend who is having a hard time.
Zoom Rabbit Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 Consider prayers on the way, Nitrous! ...And hopes for a speedy recovery.

RoyTordesLegend Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 Best wishes to all concerned Nitro...... ....my second littleun' Roy junior was born three weeks ago. Happy days
Flying Beastie Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 Best wishes for the father, the mother, the child, and Nitro's washing machine.
Wildstar Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 Sorry to hear about this development, Nitro. I'll try to remember your "brother" and his family. And please let us know how everything turns out.
Nitro Posted September 28, 2003 Author Posted September 28, 2003 Ok, quick update... About an hour and a half ago, the mother was stuffed into an ambulance and rushed to a hospital 3 hours away (normal driving time, not speeding ambulance time) because the neo-natal unit here was really understaffed tonight. We (the father and I, the only two at the hospital at the time) had about 10 minute's warning that she was being moved, and there was no room in the ambulance, so we're stuck here until like three in the afternoon tomorrow... Also, the kid's breech, meaning she's tryin' to come out ass-first, so they're going to have to take her out by c-section. Gut feeling on the "her", btw... That, and she's got a fast heartrate, and it sounds like a galloping horse... Guy fetuses (fetii?) generally sound more like a washing machine.
Cmdr. Cracken Posted September 29, 2003 Posted September 29, 2003 well, Nitro, my well wishes are with ya'll.
Ikhnaton Posted September 29, 2003 Posted September 29, 2003 hopefully, for the child's sake, the mother and father can find a way to be together if possible.
Nitro Posted September 30, 2003 Author Posted September 30, 2003 Well, it's Monday night, the father couldn't get down, and all any of us know is that she did make it there, and went into surgery... But we haven't heard anything since.
Nitro Posted September 30, 2003 Author Posted September 30, 2003 This just in: I'VE GOT A "NEPHEW"!!! No name yet... They thought they'd have another month or so to pick one. lol
Flying Beastie Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 Congrats, and best wishes to the parents! Here's hoping they never ask Nitro to babysit.
Nitro Posted October 1, 2003 Author Posted October 1, 2003 Babysit!? I'm his right-hand-man in raisin' the little bastard (hey, the term applies...). Hell, my bro's almost as nuts as I am, so little Jacob Matthew Magee (he's got a name now!) is gonna be an interesting little guy.
Cmdr. Cracken Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 you all do realize that only so many of nitro's friends can have a kid before it's his turn to. *shiver* we're sooo doomed. and it's damned good that everything turned out okay!
Nitro Posted October 1, 2003 Author Posted October 1, 2003 Right now me and the missus are planning on startin' our own family in about 5 years time.
Jem Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 Wow, I plan on getting some clones kids of my own in a couple of years. They'll be just like daddy... oh yes, they will be...
GUNNER Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 So you were wrong on the kids sex huh. I'm glad things went ok for the mom and baby.
Nitro Posted October 1, 2003 Author Posted October 1, 2003 Yeah, I was wrong. But it's just as well it's a boy... We were gonna raise it like one anyway.
Zargon Posted October 2, 2003 Posted October 2, 2003 good, raise it like a boy, not a nitro wish em good luck My older brothers wife is expecting this spring, its totally NOT a good situation, but not for the same reason as your pal
Nitro Posted October 2, 2003 Author Posted October 2, 2003 Well, considering Matt's 18, and his gf's 16, I would hope not.
Ray Jones Posted October 2, 2003 Posted October 2, 2003 we like to say HELLO to that little fellow.. ..congratulations, to the mother the father and to "UNCY NITO" !!!!
Nitro Posted October 12, 2003 Author Posted October 12, 2003 More good news! The mom's back home, and the little guy got transferred back to the neo-natal unit here... He's still pretty small (barely over 4 lbs), but he's been breathing on his own for a while now, and they think he'll be ready to come home in a week or so. The missus and I got him the cutest little giraffe...
