The customary "So we had a baby thread"

Details,
Fiance stayed up late last Wednesday night, completely unlike her as she is normally a bed nerd who is asleep by 9:30pm, she got to bed at 1:00am Thursday morning, 2 hours later at 3:00am contractions started... She was kind enough not to wake me until about 6:30am Thursday morning, we did the whole time the contraction thing, she was dealing with the pain really well, but by about midday, things got intense and we went to the hospital (mater)

We arrived at the hospital at 1:00pm and they checked her dilation and she was on 1-2cm dilated, so they planned to give her a sleeping pill and send her home, hoping the rest would let her body dilate more. As the midwife left the room another lady came in looking for the midwife, she noticed the heartbeat being really low and next thing you know we are being rushed off to the birthing suite.

At about 6:00pm my fiance was requesting and epidural, they checked her dilation and she was only 3-4cm, they broke her waters and they discovered baby had gone number 2's in her stomach... a sign of distress.. They gave her the epidural and after checking out a few more things they decided she had to have and emergency c-section.

The rest was pretty boring stuff... but at 8:35 i watched my son raise his hand out of my fiances open stomach (looked like a chest burst-er from aliens... coolest thing ever.) and then 7 minutes later (8:37pm) he was completely born.

We named him Ryu Moon Scott, He was 5 pounds 12 ounces and was only a 1 week and 1 day early.

Once my fiance was up in the suite were she was to stay with the baby for 24-48hours we noticed that Ryu's breathing was quite heavy, at this point they took him away to check if anything...

Turns out he had abit of an infection, jaundice and low blood platelet (quite common given the circumstances) and they hooked him up to some breathing tubes and put him in a humidi-crib

They discharged my fiance on Monday and at this point Ryu is still there, just making sure the infection goes away and ensuring that he continues to feed well (also had a slight problem breathing and drinking at first, but got over that quite quickly)

Token thread over.

Cliffs...

Had baby via emergency c-section, minor complications.. named him Ryu.

grats

grats!

so do you actually ding 0?

congrats!

photos broken?
working now

Hadouken!

hooray!

Neat name.

Nice work!

So he literally uppercut his way out! bonus points!

mad props!

very similar to our story, emergency C-section and all that
never fear, if they've got him in a humidi-crib he's got round the clock attention

We named him Ryu Moon Scott, He was 5 pounds 12 ounces and was only a 1 week and 1 day early.

Tekken Pictures?
Cause Ryu was from Street Fighter!

congratulations! join the club.

did you really call him Ryu?

do you know you've ruined most of his teenage years, nobody is going to take him seriously.

named him Ryu

woah...

gg

Next map?

s*** name, everyone knows ken is the man

rofl Ryu? Really?

you're such a wanker greazy
did you change your name to Joe when you moved over because no one took you seriously as Alakmomoboombalaka! (the ! is a click)

did you really call him Ryu?

do you know you've ruined most of his teenage years, nobody is going to take him seriously.

Yeah, i don't think its going to be an issue, we are a family of weird first names so i think we can handle it (let your freak flag fly and all that)

The funny thing is we were thinking names and a guy at work who knows I'm abit of a gamer jokingly said "You should call it Ryu you noob" i told my fiance and she fell in love with it instantly.

s*** name, everyone knows ken is the man

My brother likes to call him ken, and when anyone corrects him he just says that they have the same moves so he gets confused.

you didn't think the name thing through too well aye.. Every bully in school is going to try and pick a fight with someone named after a Street Fighter character....

you didn't think the name thing through too well aye.. Every bully in school is going to try and pick a fight with someone named after a Street Fighter character....

Oh wise future seer, please tell me more on my new sons life... i must know!

Grats but I've been there done that......35 years ago...

If you come from a family of weird names then there's all the more reason for naming him something sensible. Doesn't have to be common to be sensible. Congrats, but poor kid all at the same time.

He's going to have Yellow Fever ;)

Grats dude!

So how is it pronounced?

the english way: RIEEEEEEEEEE YOUUUUUUUU

or the jap way: ri-you?

p.s. you do know that it means Dragon right?

We are pronouncing it rye-eww, but I'm not one to really correct people on how to say it, after years of people spelling and saying my name wrong its something i just don't care about any more.

Was yet another reason why the name appealed to us.

Eitherway i'll still be able to smash him irl.

kidding

(you'd really hope i was anyway..)

Will be eventually shortened to Ry and people will think he's name's Ryan. I, too, am a seer.

Props on the baby and I think the name is tops. We have a name picked out for a boy and a girl but no baby on the way.

You're a retard. Your analogy is s***. My parents gave me my name - it's stereotypically middle eastern. If my name was Joe I doubt anyone would take me seriously.

No idea how you convinced the mother. Wait a minute, does she like twilight by any chance?

Hadouken

Soz fade, thermite beat you about 4th post :-P

Insert your coin. Please try again.

Wow, congrats mate, that's just awesome!

That is very courageous to name hin ryu. Did you ever play SF2? I'm a Ken guy myself, but, Ryu seems a very non-aussie name. Are you a bogan ? (please don't be completely offended!)

Or, just ignore me, f*** mate, you brought a kid into the world, I'm heaps f***ing jealous! nice 1.

Serves me right for not reading the rest of the replies by the plebs.

Awesome name, don't listen to haters

No idea how you convinced the mother. Wait a minute, does she like twilight by any chance?

Like I've said previously, i told her the name, she loved it.. no convincing required.

And FYI... no she is not a twilight, she's read the books, but i don't think shes seen the movies.. and I've never really heard her talk about it...

That is very courageous to name hin ryu. Did you ever play SF2? I'm a Ken guy myself, but, Ryu seems a very non-aussie name. Are you a bogan ? (please don't be completely offended!)

Nah I'm not very patriotic, or a bogan, i guess you could say I'm a Middle Class-Gen Y. We had a range of names we liked, none of them were conventional or austrlian, mostly video game related some were just pop-cultured.

I honestly wanted the name Duke... When my fiance thought she was having a girl and we had planned to call it Aerith (FFIV ref) she agreed to call it duke if it came out a boy... When we did the 20 week scan and she found it was a boy.. she quickly retracted that promise and we had to come up with something else.

epicly terrible name.

edit: wait you were seriously gonna name your girl after a ff7 character? ahahahahah

im calling my kid m.bison

fyi, kens moves are far superior to ryu who is a fireball using f*****;

ken doenst use his fireball, jsut his awesome dragon punch

congrats dude! also don't eat the baby

spook ur a fail ken and ryu have identical moves

in one street fighter ken has the flaming punch, and i think ryu has the super big haduken


but srsly street fighter 2 turbo was the best ever, and in that one i swear they had identical moves!

Props for baby creation, and props for a cool name. Ryu is also the badass ninja from Ninja Gaiden, so its doubly cool.

Probably gunna name my kid Onos, Boomer, or Panther Tank.

Yeah but Ryu from Ninja Gaiden has a cool jap last name like Hayabusa.

Ryu Moon Scott doesn't quite gel together as well if you ask me.

well done and congrats, but you have stupendously bad kid naming skills.

My brother likes to call him ken, and when anyone corrects him he just says that they have the same moves so he gets confused.

ahah

congrats!

Yeah, your right it doesn't gel,
but luckily nobody walks around calling people by there full name.. unless there some kind of tool.

but srsly street fighter 2 turbo was the best ever, and in that one i swear they had identical moves!

dude ur wrong ryu had a f***off shoryuken in turbo, it was a tad slower than kens but did hell damage

trust me on this

yeh f*** all the name naysayers

I know if I ever have kids, I'm going to name them after comic book characters, its too good of an opportunity to pass up.

but srsly street fighter 2 turbo was the best ever

what is this?! amateur hour!??!?!

street figher alpha (on my capcom emulator) was the pinacle of street fighting

ken had the big wide dragon punch, ryu had the cheaty girly fireball

ken would always win (when i was playing him)

^ turbo was around when all the bodgey chinese mods hit the market. I remember the wide dragon punch, what wtf was the girly fireball? (Ken had a kickass putmeinawheelchair kick, too!)

think back to school, imagine the weedy kid named 'ryu'. do you think his life would have been made hell?

Maybe foolish names aren't such a problem these days though since every parent nowadays makes up some bizarre name for their offspring.

congrats on the young fella.

I find most bullying isn't caused by name but by the actual attitude of the kid.

congratulations mate good luck with your son and Fiance.

well done dude, grats

My brother likes to call him ken, and when anyone corrects him he just says that they have the same moves so he gets confused.

Made me lol. Congrats buddy, best wishes for the three of you. I like the name, it'll give him character as he gets older :D

Grats on the kid. You picked the right name. Ryu > Ken

I concur. Also, if he gets picked on he'll just hadouken them the f*** away.

^^ fag ^^

shut the f*** up, kat

oh wait

spook did you name your sprog, ken?

wow mate congrats, our first bub is due in April, so stoked i cant wait!!

what the heck with all these people attacking the baby name.. oh wait its QGL :) it wouldn't be a proper thread without flaming

Ryu is cool :) Street Fighter is so pre-year 2000 anyway, his peers will hardly know. Anyway, isn't the world meant to be melted in like 5 years according to MR RUDD?! name won't matter then heh

spook did you name your sprog, ken?

im wishing i did, just so he could school groganus's weiner

after years of people spelling and saying my name wrong its something i just don't care about any more.

You have no idea how pissed off I get when people misspell my name and my name is as common as hell.

Anyway, isn't the world meant to be melted in like 5 years according to MR RUDD?! name won't matter then heh

Unless he is one of a handful of people in a leaky boat.

im wishing i did, just so he could school groganus's weiner

Pfft what evers.
I'm just glad my fiance didn't give birth to Blanka

If you have a brother for him in 18 months and you call him Ken, swear to god I'm calling child services.

im wishing i did, just so he could school groganus's weiner

Pfft what evers.
I'm just glad my fiance didn't give birth to Blanka

Haha ouch.

^^ fag ^^

Pfft, Ryu for life. He's a badass motherf***er. I would've also accepted Akuma as a name.

mrs hardware pointed out that when he goes to school virtually no-one will know who the character Ryu is, therefore there probably won't be any street fighter related fights, but just the general teasing of having an odd name.

yeah I dunno about the name either, but to each his own or however that saying goes.

Wow s*** f***ing name hey. Way to inconvenience your child the rest of his life.

You're f***ing weird.

men need no jewelery, ever

what makes you think that the Street Fighter franchise will have died off in ~10 years time ? Its been going for way longer than that already.

Terribly bad name.

Way to inconvenience your child the rest of his life.

This.

what makes you think that the Street Fighter franchise will have died off in ~10 years time ? Its been going for way longer than that already.

you're missing the point. I doubt 8 year olds in 2017 will know who ryu is. Were it not for the prevalence of Street Fighter arcade machines at the local shops in ~1993, most people here wouldn't know the character Ryu.

im wishing i did, just so he could school groganus's weiner

hahahahahaha

sorry for failing on sf2t, i sw0000000000re i knew my s***. i was only young

all i remember is that f***ing game gave me HARD core blisters on my thumb from doing f***kkkkkkking endless hadukens and the 360 spinning kicks


and trying to do zangieffs spiining piledriver.. that one destroyed poor peteys virgin 9y/o fingers too

Blanca is a reasonably common name in south america. If only I picked up on the lulz!

For the record we didn't just name him after a street fighter character, we did actually enjoy the sound of the name and the actual meaning of it. The fact its a street fighter/ninja gaiden character is just an added bonus on top of it.

The only concern i had with the name was the fact its a Japanese word and the mother and i have not a single bit of Japanese in us... That aside everyone who doesn't know Ryu is from street fighter have thought its a great name... Only people who like street fighter seem to have a love/hate relationship with it.

I also created this thread well knowing that a half if not the majority of forum goers would think its stupid... I think i could reduce the number of people who don't like it down a bit if the knew me better... but really i don't care that much. I do enjoy the fact though that its brought on some decent street fighter discussion.

Also, I'm surprised no one has really gone on about the middle name...

Gratz dude!

Ryu is an awesome name. There's too many generic names around so it's nice to see something a little different.

If street fighter continues on untill he can.... think, then he will prob just love the game and take up martial arts and he will be a bad ass. Grats.

Hey congrats bro, welcome to the club!!!

I can tell you now, from my experience... the first few months (more like 6)are very tiring :), always waking up, always crying... you gotta think though, it's a little body developing it NEEDS HEAPS OF EVERYTHING to get it up and going :)

Hopefully, he will sleep right through the night... (many parents are blessed with this) I WASNT.

Hah...

Breastfeeding is the s*** bro, they cry you flop the titty out and its like turning off a tap.... mmm yum yum :) + it is the best thing for them!!! I urge you to do it :)... (not you personally though, I don't think that would work too well) and its the most natural thing in the bloody world, I dunno why people kick up a stink about it in public.

Burps mate, when you're patting theyre back etc.. omg you'll get some rippers ;)

Oh and the poos... OMG!!! haha, you think you're s*** stinks!

But overall, there is nothing like knowing you are shaping someones life, someone who will love you unconditionally... call you "daddy".... there's nothing better than that :D.

I remember, when my ex mrs was in labour (it was taking forever lol - i had been there for 2 days and she was over due by like 9 days) I got a lift home to have a shower, well whilst I was there... out comes the crown!!

I hurried back and wallah, the mrs had "HELD ON" haha... So I still got to witness it all... it's not exactly "beautiful" because its quite disgusting really.. A few pushes later out she comes!!!

YAY!!!!!

Ryu, a different name :) STREET FIGHTER MAENS!! I liked ken more :) haha lol j/k - my daughters name is Amarni... (thought that was a bit different too :))

It's all up hill from hear mate, if you weren't a man before... you are now :)

WELL DONE, Another +1 qgl ausforums person that's actually had sex with something other than the hand :D

Even better it was female :)

Haha.

Seriously though, well done..

It's all up hill from hear mate, if you weren't a man before... you are now :)

here

you replied just to say that? lol.

that was an honnest typo. finish work 12am, 6 beams.

jesus!

HERE HERE!

Also, I'm surprised no one has really gone on about the middle name...

The reason I asked if she liked twilight was because of the middle name.

Moon would have been a better name.

Amarni? Why not call her Luis Vuitonn or Quicksilver

if the 8 year olds dont know ryu in 2017, their parents will tell their 16 year old bullies all about it in 2025 and hot 18 yo asian sluts will know all about it in 2027

haha, you think you're s*** stinks!

what?! no

lol thread.

I know groganus well... and when he told me he was going to call his kid Ryu, I thought it was crazy... now that I've known it for a while, I think its a pretty cool name.

Unique, Short and easy to spell, Interesting.

That being said, I don't think i'd call my kid Ryu.


PS: According to my Japanese workmate, the official pronunciation is "Ree-you"... but I like "Rye-you".


last edited by mongie at 09:51:30 17/Dec/09

I was going to ask about the middle name, but haven't got around to it yet. By memory you believe a middle name must honour someone... Did you follow this rule?

NO!.......
Short of not honoring someone i was content on the middle name having something to do with the time he was born...
Dusk, Dawn... etc.

When the fiance was doped up and being wheeled into the operating theater i said "How bout Nightmoon as the middle name" she agreed....

When she got out of the operating theater i was like "so glad we went with Nightmoon" she laughed and said... "no no no... just moon"

I settled with that.

Also.. lol i now have a legitimate reason to get a dragon tattoo..! yayz cause liek ive always wanted one.

Also his initials are RMS - root mean square, anyone? Anyone? Nerd alert.

I find most bullying isn't caused by name but by the actual attitude of the kid.

Yup, no way would a name cause poeple to prematurely judge you, especially open minded kids.

No way at all.

I didn't get called Aids for 6 years just because my name was Aiden. Nope probably completely unlinked co-incidence. I can bet you that name calling helped me plenty with the women during my highschool years too. "Sup aids" *women walk away in disgust*.

sux 2 have aids skythra

you fail at dealing with a slight on your name skythra
it's all in your reaction

my name is farrot and got f***** all the time

my reaction was like "yea, suck it!"

grogan: grats, dont listen to all the negative fagots, each of them probably dont even get roots, let alone have the ability to procreate.

existence: you cannot create a child when all you do is f*** other guys in their asses.

you fail at dealing with a slight on your name skythra
it's all in your reaction

Yeah calling 13yo me a failure while not knowing much about me, at your age?

Now lets wind back the maturity (only need a little) and you'll get a lot worse namecalling etc.


Also what makes you think that i didn't deal with it? I took it as a nickname, its all i could do. It meant it didn't hurt as much when they said it as a namecall but I'd already tried ignoring it for a year or so before I just gave up.

What would 13 yearold you have done?

In fact you were probably the small cocked late blooming no pubes guy who needed to make sure he called names to remove all the real men from the race to the women?

Should give him the middle name "Dargin"

i don't see any problem with it. i'm sure most people outside of gaming profiles will think its just a japanese (or similar) decent.

im amazed at some of your responses... who really cares at the end of the day.

if anyone has read freakonomics the author talks about how people with names that sound "african american" (i.e ray ray) are not as "successful" as those with normal names. his evidence is a bit iffy though and whether or not its true is another matter.

just something to think about!

haha fire up skythra
see what I mean about your reaction?

see what I mean about your reaction?

Completely different to how i was when i was 13, but your mother told me your penis was still small.

(yeah thats a yourmother joke and a motherf***er joke in one!)

Figured i missed out on name calling when i was a kid, making up for it now!

=]

congrats again big boy.


^_^

my daughters name is Amarni... (thought that was a bit different too :))

are you serious? pronounced are-mar-nee, as in the desinger label? you could at least spell it right, hey.

thank f*** i didn't have any of you downies as my parents. then again, if your kid wants to be a stripper they won't have to use an alias so that has to be a plus, right?

right?

Wrong. You're still a fagot with s*** retarded parents.

anyone heard the name "le-a" (pronounced ledasha), it's going around atm in the bogan/southside crowd

Yup, no way would a name cause poeple to prematurely judge you, especially open minded kids.

you seem to think that kids by the time ryu is school will know what Street fighter is when infact they will probally be too busy flying around on their jet packs.

it isn't like he is named after a disease caused by an autoimmune disorder or something.

I didn't get called Aids for 6 years just because my name was Aiden. Nope probably completely unlinked co-incidence. I can bet you that name calling helped me plenty with the women during my highschool years too. "Sup aids" *women walk away in disgust*.

hahaha i knew heaps of Aidens but never thought of calling them aids... BRILLIANT!

With the name of Greyden i got Gayden alot, probably didn't help i carried a purse around with me with a picture of Jerry Seinfeld in it....
At the end of the day though, the name meant nothing, its over use caused it to have no meaning to me... i could thank my parents for raising me to not give a f*** what people think and to just be who i am... or it could of been a personality thing i just picked up along the tracks.

I did go through bullying.. only slightly though and in no way was it an extreme case... i ignored it and gave s*** back the best i could... The bullying only got bad when i would be super defensive about myself, if i just rolled with the joke or gave s*** equally as witted insults back (which isn't hard given the mentality of most teenagers), they got over it pretty quickly.

I remember one kid who got bullied to the max and from what i could tell the reason it kept happening and happening was because he was a turd.. Not a bad person... not retarded... and in no way did he deserve it.. but he was a turd and as a result people found it easy to give him s***, when he fired up back at them quoting wrestling lines and giving them the finger with his chubby little hands it just made them laugh and they new the next time they did it they would get another laugh.

Maybe they called you Aids because you were an unlikeable s***kunt. Sort of like how you are an unlikeable s***kunt now.

my daughters name is Amarni... (thought that was a bit different too :))

Line of the thread...

Yeah, different as in an international label.

This thread.

also grats!

I'm so going to call me daughter when i have 1 Versace Dolce Gabbana Holton

Gayden

Yup got that one a f***load. And also gabbo. Not sure why. Just one kid called me gabbo all the way through highschool. Said i looked like the talking doll from simpsons..

BTW just so you know - AIDZ is what I played quake 3 (for at least 1000 hours) online as. Also my year 12 jersy says "AIDZ" although it's has been boxed since i graduated in 2003 (except to work in grease and mud).

So yeah i think i took it with good enough graces.

Thats all i used to do, smile or say sup. At least you know i'm joking right :P

fpot is a f***ing d*******. That's his problem.

Just an update
Baby is now home!
He would of came home Saturday but he vomited cause of over feeding (stupid midwives) and they wanted to keep him (stupid hospital policy)

yeah gotta hate those guys who kept your kid alive eh
fyi, they dont know how much to feed your baby, my sons first meal was literaly 1ML of breast milk

I <3 the people at RBWH, they went above and beyond for my family
One day I would like to donate some cash to them and they can put new chairs in the nursery rooms because a lot of mums & dads spend weeks sitting in there (like we did)

fyi, they dont know how much to feed your baby, my sons first meal was literaly 1ML of breast milk

yeah they increase the feed by 3mls each feed when he got to about 55ml's he was giving up and not wanting any more.. then they started tube feeding him the rest... then he would spew... the thing was they had to do it to ensure he filled his belly right up to help his blood platelet increase and to get rid of the jaundice

They will start wolfing that s*** down, my daughter is going through 200ml each sitting plus is on rice cereal

The most annoying thing is waiting for the milk to come down so we started with a finger tube and about 20-30mls.

My daughter also jaundice as well, did they uv treat it

Well at least he didn't call him Sagat.
