Baby T arrives
Sponsored By
Truly, I don't give my wife enough credit for what she does. This morning around 5am she said that she was feeling some contractions...minor, but enough for her to take notice. We had just moved house on Saturday, so we'd been running all over and unpacking. We didn't think too much of it because the baby's due date was the 29th (coincedentially our first son's birthday also). I figured it was just those beginning contractions that start a few weeks before you really get going. Plus, according to the doctor we'd just seen the previous Wednesday she wasn't at all ready.
The contractions continued, but with no particular pattern, so we didn't sweat them. Then they disappeared completely around lunch. Then around 6pm they started again, but she was still walking around, unpacking, playing with our two year old. She'd pause every 10-15 minutes, make a note of the length of the contraction, but still we weren't worried about it. Then around 8pm, she said, oh, that's not comfortable. I think we need to get going. Nah, you're not even close, I said. Let's hang out here and we'll probably head over tomorrow or the next day. No, she insisted. I'll drive myself if I have to, but I think we need to get out of there.
Since we'd just moved house on Saturday, we now live out in the country and we are over an hour away from the hospital. We start driving, leaving the two year old with my parents. It's dark and rainy and horrible and we pound through it. She continues with contractions, and we bet on dilation. I say 3cm, she says 7cm. I secretly wonder if we'll be sent back from the hospital, thinking that we're totally jumping the gun. I suspect she's worried about the same thing.
We show up at the hospital at 10pm, walk in and say, my wife's in labor. They look at my calm wife and say, um, ok, take our details, ask for timing, and show us to a room. It's clear that they're thinking we're in for a long night of waiting and that these folks (us) have shown up way early. We wait and wait for the nurse and Mo says, I really need some help here, this is really stating to hurt.
I politely go to the desk and say, I'm sorry, but I really think someone needs to look at my wife. They are kind, but again, I'm a nervous father, right? Sure, sir, someone will be right there.
A very nice nurse shows up, takes some readings and checks my wife out. She calmly says, ok, a lot of people are going to show up, but they are all here to help. She pushes a button and like seriously, five nurse ninjas appear from the floor and ceiling with carts and equipment. My wife is freaking out. She says it's time for drugs. Our doctor hasn't shown up yet, because we've only been here 15 minutes. An on-call doctor comes in and examines my wife. Ok, let me get my scrubs. My wife asks, what's going on? The nurse says, well, doctor is getting his scrubs, so a baby is coming and very soon.
I need drugs! she says, I can't do this! It's too late for drugs, you've got to do it naturally. The doctor returns and my wife starts pushing immediately. Fifteen minutes of hard drug-free labor later, our second son, T Daniel Hanselman arrives. He's 6 lbs, 6 oz and healthy.
My wife and I walked into the hospital this evening at 10pm and Baby T* arrived with a full head of hair and strong lungs at 10:43pm.
I will always listen to my wife from now on.
*T means Happiness in Zulu/Ndebele and is pronounced "Taa-bo"

Congrats Scott! What a beautiful baby! But quick... delete that last line before Mo sees it :-o
Congratulations! thats fantastic news and my wife and I are happy to hear everything went well. I bet Z's feet have not yet touched the ground - how is he taking to his new brother? Mo looks fantastic having just done what she has!
What's the buzz like the second time round? - I can still remember the giddy numbness I felt when Ryan was born in February.
Your never short of stories, your life is never just straight forward, but I have to say this is certainly one of the best :)
BTW. Ryan's baby-signing is coming along (its difficult to stick at it but should be worth it). We (my wife and I) seem to have been right at the start of the latest trend over here in Glasgow, Scotland with several classes now being run.

David - He was just born 4 hours ago and I'm emailing all the extended family, so Z hasn't met him yet. :) I'll go get Z tomorrow afternoon and bring him over. It remains to be seen how the baby-attention-jealousy works out. :)
Scott Hanselman's baby is born just as Visual Studio 2008 reach RTM.
coincidence?
yeah, probably.
Congratulation, and all the best.
Now that T is going to learn sign language, it might be time for Z to go Ruby ...

Congrats. Went through a similar experience a year back. T looks great..
Congratulations man, this is great news and perfect timing with your new house! My best wishes to T and your wife!
Such a fantastic news and T is an incredibly beautiful baby - congratulations to the whole family.
Big congratulations to you and your family, Scott!
I'll try and remember to listen to my wife when all this happens to me in a couple of months! :-)

Congratulations from me too. Sounds like you were stuck on Microsoft time - you know the "20 mins left.....50 mins left....60 mins left" when copying files across the network whereas your wife was more realistic ;-)
The journey you have embarked is like no other! If you thought you worked hard before this - you didn't but the rewards are infinite and that makes it all worth while. In about two years for father's day your baby T will say "darling daddy" like my little girl just did this year! It's gonna make your world!
Many congrats to your wife and to you!

What a cutie! T's gorgeous. Well done you two, that's such a cool story.
Fifteen minutes eh? My daughter took nearly 36 hours, I couldn't be there (don't ask), but I got the most remarkable text message: "Labor ineffective, proceeding to c-section" from the mum. She's a developer, good at simple message-box feedback even under duress. "Ineffective" conjurs a picture eh?
Well done again! You guys look just radiant.

Congrats to you and your family. He's a cutie. I'm sure, over time, there will be sibling spats - there always are (Trust me, my two sometimes really beat on each other) - but they love one another.
Get some rest pops. All your readers will be busy with VS2008, so you can sneak some time off ;)

Congratulations! Your new baby is beautiful. I hope you and Mo are doing fabulously. Take care and we'll see you when we see you!
Congratulations Scott! (and Mo... after all she did all the hard work!!!)
As a very proud father of two boys (26mths and 6mths) I have to say that two is definately twice the work... thankfully there is twice the reward and I can't tell you how great it is to have two young boys around the house! :)
T's a real handsome chap and my he has big hands!!!
Kind Regards,
Michael.

Congrats to the Hanselman family from a dedicated lurker. T is beautiful!
Congratualtions.
The latter half of your experience is similar to ours. Six weeks before the due date in for a checkup and narrowly missed being born in an elevator. Labour time approx 30 mintutes. No ninjas though, NHS won't pay for them.

Your story is very much in-line with what happened to us a year ago with our second daughter, I am amazed.
Again, I wish you and Mo a good experience thereafter.

Congratulations! I'm glad everyone is happy and healthy.
re: Toddlers and babies. My daughter always stares at any baby that comes over to our house. Like the baby is some new life form she's discovered. I'm surprised she doesn't poke at them. It looks like my dolly, but it's moving on it's own. ACK, it made a noise. Regardless, he'll have a ball with his new partner incrime fun!

Hearty Congratulations! As a father of a toddler and a newborn, I understand the excitement and joy doesn't wane the second time around. Best of luck with the growing family.
Contrats! He's definitely among the cutest I've seen.
I'm kind of jealous. He was born with a neck. It took a few months before our son grew a neck.

The "nurse ninjas" description was hilarious, especially because it's true! We've had 3 C-sections (2 of which were scheduled), and it is amazing how the team of doctors and nurses springs into action as soon as the OB decides it's time to take the baby out.

Wow Scott;
Congrats to you and to your wife.
A natural drug-free birth has become quite the rarity. It's a testament to Mo's health, will & self-awareness that she was able to pull this off. I would be proud too.

Congrats Scott! My wife and I are just 6 1/2 weeks ahead of you with our third child. Welcome to one-on-one coverage, next is a drop back into zone defense. :)
You know what? I was just wondering about you guys and T and there you are, telling us that you just had him!
What a CUTIE!!! CONGRATULATIONS guys! and uh, Scott? I don't know if you haven't learned you first lesson with Mo from the first pregnancy but LISTEN TO YOUR WIFE!!! *lol* she is THE one to carry! And Mo, oh you poor dear! I feel you! *lol* This is so funny that Scott's reaction was the same as James when I was about to have Liam: "oh no, you're fine"...
Anyway, looking forwards to meet the little guy there. Mo, you look great! Scott, man, congrats to being a second-time-around-dad, et Z: you'll have to learn to share now! don't worry! you'll still have plenty of fun with your little bro.

We also moved into a new house while expecting our second child. The second day my husband assembled the crib and I immediately went into labor :) The baby must have thought we were ready.

What great news! What an adventure you three had! I am so glad Scott decided to REALLY listen to Mollar and did not delay any more. I cannot think of anything better than 15 minutes of labor, unless of course it is 10 minutes! The baby is beautiful. I will begin to share the news at NWEA for you still have many friends here who will be pleased. Marilynn

Congrats, man! He's a fine, strapping young man, and potentially some good lungs from the look of things. I think nurses are trained not to believe moms and dads no matter what they say. They didn't believe us when we said, "Hey, the baby's going to be here in a few more minutes," until about the seventh kid or so. Enjoy that fabled 1-month paternity leave from Microsoft!
Hi Scott!
Congretts. And congretts to Mo also who fully cooperated with you. Man, she held it for one hour long journey.

Congratulations to Mo and Scott on the birth of T Hanselman.
And seeing as though he has a Zulu/Ndebele name ( it also means "Hope" by the way ).
It gives me an opportunity to embarrass myself internationally with some school zulu (corrections welcome).
Ngiyakwemukela umtwana!! Ngikufisela kakhul'inhlanhla nomhlaba . Nihambe gahle!.
(my zulu might not have survived that well after 30 years... ) this should mean:
Welcome young child!!, May you have much luck in the world. Go well ( in life )!.
I hope he is able to visit the land of his ancestors on his mothers side one day.

Nice Zulu. You could also have added "Amhlope!"
We go to Africa every year or so. We took Z last December, and we're taking T this next December to South Africa.
When you said "nihambe kahle" (not gahle) did you mean, "I go well"? If you meant, "go well" to the baby, you'd say "Lihambe" or just "hambe"

MS Hanselbaby 2007 goes RTM ahead of schedule! Huzzah! Kudos to project managers!
Congrats... of course I take a week off to celebrate the birth of my child... come back to work thinking, "Man I have a lot of Hanselman to catch up on", only to find you are getting about the same amount of sleep I am... And to avoid the crush of children on the same date in November... go out for Valentines Day a few weeks earlier or later....
Awesome news man!
A new baby signer is on its way! I can hardly wait for your report when Z starts "talking" to him :)
I'll be in Redmond next week, but I guess you won't be around the mothership for a while ;)

I have personal experience with the 'ninja nurses' when my daughter was born under similar circumstances. Everything was calm until we got to the room and my wife was already 10cm and it was all done in a matter of minutes once the Doctor arrived. :)

Sounds like exactly the same thing that happened when our second was born. By this time my wife decided she wanted an epidural, it was WAY too late. The nurse came in to check her, and her eyes got huge! Fifteen minutes later, my daughter was here. The Doc. was hardly able to get her scrubs on and sit down before the head was delivered 30 seconds later. Our wives are TOUGH! I agree, they hardly get enough thanks for all of the wonderful service that they do for our families.
Oh, and you've got a handsome little boy there. I'm sure you're quite proud.

Scott,
I’ve been following your blog since your visit to Plano, Tx (about 2,3 yrs back), and I’ve enjoyed your mixture of ninja coder and family man. What’s cool is Z is about the age of my Micah and T beat my #2 by about 2 months. My wife and I are challenged with the “what kind of stroller to get” dilemma. What can you recommend on having a 3 yr old with a new born?
Thanks and keep up the great work! Your reports on Africa were fascinating.

There's a stoller called a "Joovy" that will let the 3 year old stand while the baby sits.
I could not be happier for the 4 of you. What a lovely holiday gift! Enjoy! Guess what gift I received this year for Christmas? I learned I'll be a grandmother in 2008. My son and his wife will have a baby in August! Happy New Year!!
