Thanks everyone. Mom and baby are doing fine. Connor is loving his new baby brother; tries to do anything and everything to help.

Well, I didn't say anything about Denise being pregnant because of the last time she was (some of you old-timers may remember). Not that we're superstious or anything like that, it just wasn't easy telling everyone that she lost a baby after telling them she was expecting. So, we waited with this one.

Anywho, we went to bed Wednesday (2 Nov) night; Denise quite 'mad' that this kid hadn't come yet and his due date was 3 Nov (both Connor and Jesse were two weeks early). I guess any woman who's had kids knows where she's coming from. Then....Denise's water broke at about 4am, so she called the doctor, who told her that it was no use going into the hospital until she felt contractions. She woke me up at about 4:15 to let me know that her water broke, and she was just waiting on contractions. I got up, got something to drink, and went outside to have a smoke. While I was out on the front porch, Denise came out with a timer, telling me to time her contractions, and I said that if I need to time them, we should just get going. I went and got Connor ready while she got dressed, and made sure we had all the right things ready to go. As I was getting ready, her contractions were coming pretty steady, but she said she was okay, and didn't feel the urge to push. So it's now about 4:50am, and we're all in the car heading to the hospital. While we're on the way there, her contractions are to the point where she only has time to take a breath between them, but she is still saying that she doesn't have the urge to push. Just as we're turning into the emergency lane at the hospital, she starts telling me that we need to hurry. I stop the car, run into the ER to grab a wheelchair, and yell to the desk nurse that my wife's in labor as I'm heading back out the door. I get back to the car, open her door, and see that she has her pants down around her knees. She looks at me and tells me that a wheelchair won't do it; the head's out and she needs a gurney (keep in mind that Connor is still in the car). I run back into the ER, grab the first person I see in scrubs, ask if he's a doctor and when he says he is, I grab him and start dragging him out shouting that the head's out. He gets out there, Denise is still in the front seat, I go around the car and get Connor out. He was pretty scared and excited until he saw the wheelchair sitting there (the kid has a thing for wheelchairs), and is perfectly happy to get in the chair and watch from the sidelines. By this time, maybe a minute or two since the first doctor came out, there are about 15 people in and around our car, when I hear Devlin's first cries. One of the OR doctors is screams, "I've got him!", and Devlin entered our world in the front seat of a Mazda 626 at around 5:15.
Don't tell me about rock and roll I'm out there in the clubs and on the streets and I'm living it! I am rock and roll!
