    Alright OS, I need your thoughts and prayers.

    A few beers in... Had a bit of sledge hammer dropped on my wife and I today.

    Long story short, my wife is pregnant. 34 weeks and three days to be exact. There was a blood issue that was a possibility but never proved to be a problem until yesterday. Originally, we were going to go to Seattle for a possible blood transfusion (administered through the umbilical cord) on Monday.

    Well, that's out. The doctors decided the best course of action is to deliver our son at 34 weeks TOMORROW. He'll start his life in a neonatal intensive care unit because his lungs won't be developed enough, but I am optimistic that all will turn out great.

    Thoughts, prayers, whatever you've got. We could use them. My son's name is Jacob and he needs your support, too... However you can give it, but if you're a praying man, that's his name. He should be born tomorrow sometime.

    Ya'all are my second family here, so this request should be met with a lot of man love. If I didn't hold a lot of you in high regard, I wouldn't be posting this.

    Thanks and I'll keep you all posted.

        Also, this kid is a beast. In my RTTS career on The Show, he's the second coming of Mike Trout, only better. Hopefully that's a bit of a revelation to his happy, healthy, successful future.

        I love my sons and know the OS dads will appreciate this entire thread. My kids are my life.

        Just get him here and take care of him, Lord...

            Sounds worse than it is. I keep telling myself that, and I believe it.

            We have awesome doctors... I believe this. If this is what we need to do to get our boy here safe, then that's what needs to be done. We're extremely blessed that we made it 34 weeks; some babies get highly distressed after 24 with this blood issue and need to come out.

            Thanks bro, I do appreciate it.

              Having a baby born early is tough but I know when my youngest was in NICU there were other babies that were premature. I think the youngest was born at 30 weeks. The worst part of it is gonna be all the stuff they have attached to him. Keep your faith and don't let this ruin your happiness over having a baby. Congrats and prayers.
