Tonino's Rippetoe Log

Quick update for those following along. We had a false alarm this weekend, my wife thought she was in labor only to find out that the she hasn’t even started dilating. It was also comforting for her to find out that the TRUE labor pains will be 100x stronger than what she felt that night!!

The doctor seems to think that based on the contractions she’s having, that she should go into active labor sometime this week. Very exciting.

And to include a training update, I am still training using Shugart’s template, and on days where I just can’t make it downstairs to lift, I knock out some bodyweight exercises just to stay active.

The wait is finally over. Baby Maria was born on Tuesday, July 8th, weighing in at 7 lbs 6 oz. I cannot describe the moment, it was definitely out of this world, for both me and my wife. She is such a beautiful little thing!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Send my best to mom and the baby! You’re in for a world of awesomeness, my friend!
