"The Birth Of Baby Nance"
Hi folks,
Ben here, with an update from The Nance, who called me at 7AM to tell me that his wife's contractions were 20 minutes apart. (Next time, Bry, just stick to the 9AM report unless they're 20 seconds apart, mmmmmkay?) :-)
So Lance "Nance Nance Revolution" Nance is on his way.
I'll keep you updated over the course of the day. Let's use this thread to make predictions on the exact time and weight. The closest time and weight guesses will receive gifts from Bryan (Ha! I love hijacking his blog and making promises on his behalf!).
Personally I am hoping that the little guy waits until after midnight so that he will be born on my birthday, which is tomorrow. So my (wishful thinking) guess: January 12, 12:42AM, 7 pounds 1 ounce.
Let the predictions begin!
-Ben
------------------------------------------
[EDIT] 2PM: Contractions are 10 minutes apart, but they are lasting longer. Bryan says that anyone who guessed over 8 pounds is going to be in big trouble with his wife.
------------------------------------------
[EDIT] Noon on 1/12/06: Finally got in touch with Bryan! Alas, Baby Nance was not born on my birthday. :-( He was born at 10:40PM on 1/11/06, weighing in at 9lbs, 14oz (!) and 22 inches long. Congrats to Bryan and Tina!

Wow, I was born at ~5.5lbs. Then again, after about a week of worried observation and feeding I grew to about 15lbs. Very fat baby, I was.
Posted by: MikeyYang on January 12, 2006 10:17 AM
OK, I've had 2 babies and I'm gonna go with my gut on this one. (Um.... I didn't mean that to sound sketchy, sorry.)
Today (Thursday, 1/12), 12:14pm Eastern time.
8 lbs, 4 oz.
WELCOME TO THE WORLD, BABY NANCE!

HURRAH! What's he called? I know we'll all call him NNR. ;)
Since most of us aren't parents (I think), that makes us all eligible to give tips to The Nance Effect. ;)

Congratulations on the birth of MILES.
Posted by: mohan on January 24, 2006 03:03 AM
It's about time your friends in Ithaca (remember that place?) heard the good news about Miles! Please give my warm regards to Tina...I am experiencing sympathy pains as I write! I hope the Benedict-Augustine cradle is providing lots of warmth and comfort to the little guy...so the mom and dad can get some sleep, too! Hey, when you get a chance, post your address so we can follow-up by U.S. Mail.
Congratulations to you all!
Love and hugs,
Amy

HELLO ALL!
I'm back! Miles Nathaniel Nance is here and raising sand! I'd like to thank you for your warm comments and well wishes. In the next day or I hope to give you all a glance of the Manchild named Miles. According to Miles' Grandfather (my dad), my wife gave birth to a toddler!
I saw this great tee-shirt: "My daddy drinks because I cry". It is my deepest host that my 2 year old lets Miles live!
TO ALL OF THE PARENTS WHO SENT ME WELL WISHES, MY DEEPEST AND MOST HEARTFELT THANK-YOU!
So drop me a line!
Posted by: The Nance Effect on February 12, 2006 03:07 PM
Congratulations!!!!! And WOW is Baby Nance a big boy... It is utterly amazing to me that I was glancing through the blogs only to find you. I remember when I met you at the college meeting in New York City and you informed us that you're wife was pregnant. Well, I wish you and your wife loads of happiness!
