Pure awesome....and more congrats. 
We didn't know his head would not fit. He has a watermelon head from her side of the family and we did not know that although she has a nice curvy set of hips on the outside, the "exit" for him through her hips on the inside was a bit narrow. She had no complications in her pregnancy, so we had no reason to get her pelvis x-rayed I guess.
It really is a great birthing hospital, one of the better in the nation actually and they treated us great throughout the long experience.
We thought we could pop him out...just wasn't going to happen. Now we know for next time at least.
Besides, don't mothers love long labors so they can bring up up and hold it over their kid's head for the rest of their life?
GREAT idea. I'm doing this next time if I remember to.
I had good intentions of doing this with my last daughter but did not follow through. I plan to do so at the end of the month for an upcoming surgery. One other advantage it will have for me is that it will keep my mother in law away.

Yeah I though that same falicy about popping the baby out.
I have a couple horror stories to hold over both my daughters head's.For me it was my daughters shoulders. At 12 she still had the shoulders of a quarterback. (with pads on) In the OR, I had my dr and her med student and another dr and his med student and before the doctor could say "it's a girl" one of the med students blurted out "look at the size of the shoulders on her!" Least to say it's what memories are made of. But with her I was in labor for 22 hours before they decided to do an emergency c-section. The pain was off the charts by the time I got my spinal for surgery.
That's great, Congrats!
My only pointer: If you're going to be the one in the OR with your wife for the C Section, bring a camera you can operate with one hand (you'll find out why)!

Congrats from one military man to another. I'm a father of 3 girls and my last daughter was born right here out on the Fens in our bed. It was wonderful and she is simply the light of our lives. Her birthday is sept 19th so if there is any delay for your good lady then they may very well share a birthday!
Best of luck to you all.

Congratulations on her safe arrival
