My brother Mikey, better known to you as BroX, is soon to be the father of triplets. That's right...three AT THE SAME TIME!!

Obviously, these things can lead to complications, and they have. The babies are coming out tonight, by doctor's decision. One of his sons (all three are boys) is not yet 2 pounds.

Please say a prayer for my brother and his family. He can use all the help he can get.

My thoughts are with your bro and his family. I wasn't even 2 lbs when I was born so if I can turn out semi-OK, your nephews will too.

Keep us updated.

All the best to the family, doc.

good luck to all involved Doc, i was a premie too (I got better, mostly) so it is gonna be nerve wracking for a bit, but it will all turn out gold.

But seriously, THREE kids at once? What the hell is in the water there?

This is NOT what he needed to hear.

BroX - big time prayers your way, man.

What I'm saying is... never mind.

All the best doc.

My thoughts are with him. I know how tough it can be, my wife went through two C-Sections, and it's nerve-wracking to be so helpless to affect the outcome.

Best of luck BroX.

Prayers to you and yours. Hope the X family gets a healthy addition of TripleX.

I'm sorry I couldn't avoid the joke. Prayers are there.

All the best to your brother.

I hope BroX is too busy to look at this thread today, as he'll have enough to deal with besides thinking about having a Little Solly and Little Moose in the family. Now I'm really praying for him!

[salmonjunkie]

Ditto. Best to you and your future family members, BroX!

Good luck with the triplet thing. Best of everything.

Good luck with the diaper changes and them all crying at the same time and...oh, guess you didn't want to hear that either.

One piece of advice:

Don't for any reason name the Larry, Curly and Mo.

Maximilian Jerome - born 5:58 PM - 2lbs, 13 oz; 16" tall

Gabriel Michael - born 6:01 PM - I'll get to that.

Ethan James - born 6:04 PM - 1lb 7 1/2oz - 12 3/4" tall

They didn't have time to get stats on Gabriel, because he had some problems at birth. Wasn't breathing right away, and it caused acidosis and some problems with his heart and blood pressure. They were able to stabilize him by the time I had to leave the hospital and it looked like all three were in good shape, considering.
It looks like these little guys are going to be in the hospital until at least their due date: 12 weeks from now. So while they're not out of the woods by any means, they're in the hands of God and modern medicine now, and I believe pretty strongly in both.

So that's the update.

Congrats to your brother.

Triplets - daaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmn. Those late night feedings are going to be an absolute joy!

Interesting names - where'd they come up with them?

[The Canadian Content]

Glad to hear everything seems okay, doc.

Congratulations BrotherX!

My prayers are with you and your family.

[Batman]

Best wishes to the little fellas.

Too late to name them Thunder, Lightning, and Rain, huh?



Damn! That would have been cool.

I pushed for Matt, Matthew and Matty, but they didn't go for it.

Becasue, apparently, NurseX isn't a total freakin retard like his brother.

See, you think you're kidding. But I know a guy named Rob who seriously wanted to name his twins Rob and Rob. So all three would have identical names (no I, II, III or Jr. crap). The woman, thankfully, named the children when he was out of the birthing/recovery room.

Here's something fun.

My full first name is Thaibinh
My brother (two years younger) is Thaiviet
My sister (12 years younger) is Thai An

I've gone by Thai since high school. My brother, when in college, went by Thai, but only by people who met him in college. My sister, now in college is called Thai by many of her friends there.

Imagine the insanity if we all lived in the same house.

I almost convinced my wife's cousin to name her first son Jack. I was really close. The last name? Hoffe.

Get the fuck outta here!

The best part about Over The Top (besides the awesome Bull Hurley and even awesomer Terry Funk) is the fact that the kid in the movie was born Michael (Mike) Hawk.

Sly totally fucking rules.
