PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"So... that's what this place looks like, huh?" |
Wow, this place sure is bright. It's been awfully dark for the last long while. I came into this world at 10:32 a.m. this morning and I weigh 8 lb, 10 oz. My name is Aidan Mackenzie and I'm told that the first name is an Anglicized version of the name Aodhán in Gaelic/Irish and the middle name is a family name that has carried on in almost every male on my paternal great-grandmother's side of family for 6 generations now. Now... I'm awfully hungry and Daddy told me that Mommy's got an excellent source of food... Mmm! Yum! See you all later...
Many thanks to IceCat!.................01/13/03

Pipi, I'm so exited about you coming out here into the world to join us. You have a couple of incredible parents, and a whole bunch of people who care for you. I looked up your name on the internet, and it means a Fiery Son of Kenneth in Gaelic. Kenneth means handsome as loosely translated in English. My prayer for you as you start this new adventure is that you may live your life in such a way that it be full of fiery passion. May there be intensity in your actions, the brightness of wisdom surround you, and may your flame burn long. And may you acomplish this in such a way to bring honor to your beloved family. God bless little one,

LAST EDITED ON 01-14-03 AT 04:49 AM (EST)Welcome to the world, Aidan! I hope you were nice to your mommy when you made your grand entrance...took ya long enough! First of all, you have a great birthday (the 13th). Don't let anyone tell you it's unlucky! Now...I thought you might like a playmate. I know it's a little soon to be making friends, but friends are SO important - so I thought I'd get you started. 
Now also remember that you don't have to limit yourself to skunks when it comes to playmates. There are some very nice hamsters, cats, squirrels, bears, dogs, and many other creatures here who would make great pals  So pleased to meet you! Now be a good boy and get some sleep so mommy can relax a little, k?

LAST EDITED ON 01-14-03 AT 06:36 AM (EST)*muttering* cheeky lil bugger, hiding from us so you could post on the computer without our knowledge... Thanks everyone for your best wishes -- it's been a wild ride and everything couldn't be more perfect with the way things turned out. The baby Aidan is perfectly healthy and has behaved quite well to date (other than keeping us awake a couple of hours during the night as he just couldn't get enough of this pretty amazing food source ) The other two kids have really taken to having a new baby brother, especially Zach who seems to have a remarkable skill at just knowing what to do with him for a boy of 6, sitting with the baby for a whole hour very patiently and touching him in all of the right places (ok maybe that did come out sounding wrong...). It was a 19 1/2 hour labour, but only during the last 5 hours did the main contractions come. The baby was considerate enough to allow all the relatives and Pene to be able to sleep in a little bit before the call went out to the midwives and the terp at 8:00 a.m. They came and it quickly became apparent that the labour was rapidly progressing at a faster pace than anticipated. The actual pushing only took 8 minutes (as compared to over 20 for both of the first two children). The skill and preparedness of the midwives were obvious and we couldn't have asked for more from these two. At 10:32 a.m., Aidan Mackenzie xxxxx (last name withheld) came out into the world and immediately yowled with a good set of lungs to announce his presence. Pene went through the whole ordeal with flying colours and was extremely happy with the way things went, plus the care of the midwives as she was able to take a well-deserved shower afterwards and spend the whole day with the baby -- in stark contrast to her experiences with the other two children in hospital, where the babies were immediately taken from her and put into the nursery room for a couple of hours. Spending the day recovering from birth in your own house and own bed really makes a difference on the psyche of the new mom. As for me... I'm doing well and it's just hard to believe that this little package actually came from a tiny cell and from a human being's belly. I'm biased but I don't think I've seen a more charming baby in my life. 
Oh yes, and I saved post #4000 just for you, Aidan! You're worth it.

66. "RE: That's One Very Cute Baby!" |
Very true. Pene said she was really happy with the way things went at home and it was a much more positive experience for her than during the births of the first two.Having said that, hospitals are apparently making a much more concerted effort to change their philosophies when it comes to the care of babies and birthing -- I don't know how widespread it is by now, but when we went on a tour of the hospital near ours as a Plan B, we were amazed to see how much the maternity ward had changed radically in just five years. Most of the birthing rooms have a whirlpool bath. Gone were the stirrups (although it's still an options) and hello, gymnastic bars and hello, electronic beds which can give you about 20 different options for the most comfortable position to give birth. Removable bed parts allow for crouching forward or to push against foot rests if so desired. Ceiling lights have been installed for greater brightness and are remote-controlled so they can be more precise where to shine the light without having to be held in someone's hand. Family waiting rooms have been added and decorated with sofas, high-backed easy chairs to sleep on, children's tables and chairs, TVs, ice and juice machines (free) and books to read. Pene said that when her son was born 6 years ago, she was in a sterile hospital room with only stirrups to yank her legs way up with no features in the room, and a doctor that only visited ever so briefly every couple of hours or so.

81. "RE: That's One Very Cute Baby!" |
First, Aidan is stunning (if that makes sense)! Such a sweet face he has! And Pene, you look MAHvelous dahling!As for the hospital experience, in Europe, hospitals are pretty much like a birthing center...very friendly, lots of amenities (like whirlpool tubs). The babies stay with you in your room 24-7 unless you ask otherwise (which of course, I did not!). The only time we didn't have my daughter in our room was the first 15 or so minutes after she was born, and my hubby was with her at that time. The rest of the stay, she was with us all of the time...no taking her away for tests even. They do test when they are born and then 5 days post-birth here. You're supposed to stay in teh hospital for at least 5 days here, but they're lenient with Americans since they know we're used to the 24 hour deal. I stayed for 2 days (I couldn't bear anymore with the extreme heat of August with no AC...yup, Belgium has NO AC anywhere!!!) then asked if I could go home and they okayed it since baby and I were both in good shape. I had a wonderful experience here! I wish things were so nice in the states! They really showed compassion and concern for you (even with the language barrier it was obvious) instead of treating you like a patient you were treated like a person and I LOVED that. Anyway, thanks for sharing your sweet pics of Aidan with us! Hope you all are holding up well!

Welcome to the world Pippy! Now that you're here, I thought I'd impart a little wisdom, from one baldy to another...Important tip #1: Mom and Dad need their sleep. Please plan accordingly. Important tip #2: If you let Mom and Dad sleep, you can pretty much get away with murder. Not that I'm condoning that. Just saying. Important tip #3: Teething's a bitch. Remember to ask Dad for the good stuff to ease the pain. Important tip #4: Don't get addicted to the binky. There is no 12-step program. Important tip #5: When all else fails, blame a sibling. Hope that helps you out as you get acquanted with your new surroundings. p.s. Canada's just cold. It's not going to get any better. Sorry about that.  Fester
