Todd: So, Simon, how old is your son now?
Simon: He's just over three months now.
Todd: OK, so it should be pretty fresh in your memory. Do you remember what it was like the day he was born?
Simon: Yeah, sure. I was in the operating room.
Todd: No kidding. The delivery room.
Simon: In the delivery room. Not the operating room. Sorry. Well, the do operate, kind of, but the delivery room so.
Todd: Well, let's go to the very beginning, like your at home, like what happened?
Simon: So I was, as usual it happens when you never expect it, and it came a couple of days earlier than we thought, and she had labor pains at about 4 o'clock in the morning.
Simon: Then we took her to the hospital. I took a couple pictures of her, just for the buddies, "Hey, look at my better half in pain.
Todd: Right. So you got the hospital by car, by taxi. Were you driving fast?
Simon: I think we went by car and then I said, and then I went back home to get breakfast and then because labor usually takes a long time so I thought we'd have time but, I went home for breakfast and and went back to the hospital and she was already on the table in the delivery room table.
She was quite fast. It took about three hours I guess which is on the quick side of delivery but when I saw here she was a total different person. She was like not a real human being because the pain was so hard, like delirious or subconcious but I think all woman are like that because I saw a couple other women and they looked like they were zombies. That's why I said, like they say women have a higher threshold for pain. It's true. I think men would die.
Todd: Right. Right.
Simon: But having said that, it was quite a mind-boggling experience, you know, like all of a sudden there's this little putple lump in front of you and it goes to purple to skin color before your eyes. (Wow) Yeah, and yeah, it's awake. A human being.
Todd: So the baby cries instantly when comes out.
Simon: I don't think it really cries that much. It doesn't have that image that many of us have that the doctor slaps the, and then cries like a baby, but yeah, maybe it whimpers a little bit every now and then. It's for the most part, quiet.
Todd: Well, I'm sure it was an amazing day. That's cool. Thanks Simon.
Simon: Yeah, no problem.
