In a strange turn of events, I ended up being able to celebrate Father's Day this year. On Sunday, I was playing Metal Gear Solid 4 when my wife quickly scurried into the bathroom. Since I was in the middle of a boss battle, I thought nothing of this until she yelled something was wrong. I glanced over and notice a trail of blood leading into the bathroom and we immediately went to the hospital. Shortly after we arrived at the hospital, the doctors recommended and performed an emergency c-section since the placenta was detaching from my wife's uterus. Our daughter, Zefie, was born at 9:20 PM PDT on Father's Day with fatherhood hitting me like a sack of bricks.

My wife and I are still at the hospital since she has not been discharged yet, and our daughter will likely remain at the NICU until July 27th since she is premature. The hospital offers free wireless access, so I will be online throughout the week using my laptop.
