For those of you that do not know, Amy and I have been blessed with our first pregnancy. Several weeks ago, we found out that it's a boy! "Baby Hero" is due March 18 2004. We are in dire need of a middle name that goes with either RYAN or EVAN. We love both names equally, but have been coming up shorthanded on a good middle name. Please note that our last name is pronounced (My-your-oh). Any suggestions? Did i just open up a can of worms or what? :D

Evan Par Maiuro

[email protected]!! Pronounced "Even", right?

Nah..."'Evan' Par" gets the point across. :cool:Just encourage him to aspire to greater things!! Like a Quality Sponsorship!! A chip off the old block!!

March, does that make him an Aries zodiac sign? If so, then I suggest Ryan Adam Maiuro. That way his initials will be RAM. :D

How would Amy feel about Climo or Colin? Aspire for greatness.

ce

Now you've got me John. I love names. With a three sylable last name you may want to go short for the middle. I do like
Evan. How about Evan Lee? Toni and I seriously considered her maiden name and since your a good ole Italian boy it might work. Evan Adamo. Ah-dah-moe for you rejects. Of course Von is always available. The best part is when you hear it, it will be perfect.

Ryan Mace Maiuro

Being Italian like yourself I would urge you (that is if you or your parental family are still close to the Italian type traditions) to use the good ole' commonly used Italian middle name Anthony. It's a middle name that flows well with both of the first names that you are debating on. And don't worry about keeping the names short, thats not an Italian thing at all (my full name being Jon-Rocco Anthony Varchetto).

Roc would make a cool middle name...but Wasp wouldn't!

"First name" Yuri My-hero......

3/4/04 1:35am Water breakage! :eek:

Obviously John won't be able to make it to Waco this weekend. On that note, Joey and Kid Roc, you have a pm.

Best wishes to Mrs. Hero, Baby Hero and Mr. Hero!!!!!!!! :D

John, if you need anything please let me know.

Brian

CONGRATULATIONS HEROES

Good luck on all the happenings and keep us informed!

Sooooooo.........

/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Welcome to the Stroller World of Disc Golf /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I just got back to the office from the hospital.

Little Hero could come at any time. My guess is 2:23pm today. Amy is looking great (holding John together :D)

John is going to call me when Little Hero makes his appearance. I will post shortly after.

Let's have some guesses at what time baby will come!

Does Ryan have his PDGA number yet???

Congrats John & Amy. Look forward to seeing Ryan.

CONGRATS!! Very kewl!!!

Jonh and Amy, congratulations. I know you'll be great parents and Ryan is as lucky to have you guys as you are to have him.

WTG Hero family, and welcome to the newest member of Team Evolution, Ryan Maiuro! (I'd sponsor him anyway, what with the family connections and all.) :)

Congrads John! :cool: Ryan, the baby-Hero, has arrived!!
(What happened to naming him Evan Par?? :D)

Congratulations John. Guess I won't be seeing you around for a while. Good Luck.

Congrats John and so glad to hear everyone is well.

Mark, that is quite a logo thingy.

Congrats John!

Your life just changed (heh, heh...)

Oh, for the better, of course (my wife made me add that :D )

Congrats John & Amy, glad to hear that everything is going well. You two will make great parents, Ryan could not be any luckier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright, where are some **** pics??

Alright, where are some **** pics??



Just found these on a server at the hospital.

Not sure Amy wanted them to get out.

We really need to all pitch in and get Rodney some professional help.


While we're at it, we could start a therapy fund for those of us who had to SEE that.

Well, i didn't know exactly where to begin until i saw Rodney's pictures of Baby-Houck. Those have to be some of the funniest images on the world wide web!!!!

First off, i want to thank God for blessing my wife Amy and I with our greatest gift of all, Ryan Jacob. The miracle of life is exaclty that, a miracle! In Ryan's case, it was a double miracle. You see, Ryan was born at 12:53pm on 3/4/04 with a double knot in his umbilical cord the size of a golf ball. The doctor said that it was a tight knot, but somehow blood, food and waste was able to travel to and from. I asked how long it had been there, and he answered "a long time". The baby had to be small enough to create a loop, then "swim" through it. We were about to find out that that was only Ryan's first hurdle in "the real world." (not counting coming down the birth canal)

Seconds after he was born the staff was doing all of their tests on him and started to speak some sort of code. I asked if everything was okay becuase momma had not even held the little guy yet, and dadda didn't get to cut the cord. The staff told me that Ryan had a temperature of 103(normal is 98.6), a heart rate of 200bpm (normal is 140bpm), and a respiratory rate in the upper 60's(normal is mid to high 30's). Needless to say, Ryan was in trouble.

The staff inside of the birthing room doubled, then tripled. After several minutes, and what seemed like 100's of tests, I was told that Ryan needed to go to infant ICU. Right before the staff took him, momma finally was able to hold him. He was at peace in her arms. It was beautiful.

Due to the stress of labor and delivery, Amy had developed a minor temperature of 100 degree's. Due to this, she was NOT allowed to see her first child who was downstairs in ICU. I was able to visit him in ICU with one visitor at a time. I think i took 4 or 5 trips down there with the grand parents, but would have traded all of those visits in if Amy could have gone just once.

Four hours later, Ryan's vitals stablized, and he was finally able to join us upstairs in our home away from home. The doctors think that his symptoms were due to momma's temperature and stress.

We had to stay in the hospital one day longer than most becuase they put "Baby-Hero" on antibiotics that had to run their course. After 3 days, we were finally able to go home.

Those of you that are parents know, and those of you that aren't, i hope you will. This was the greatest day of my life.

I want to thank all of you for your support and encouragement. We needed it!

BTW, congrats to Danielle for only missing the time by 26 minutes! I think you are entitled to any Discraft disc that you'd like :D

John, I dont know what to say. Not sure how I would have handled all of that. Just glad Ryan is fine. Can't wait to meet him. :D

BTW...... You're a Daddy now, change that Avatar before your impressionable young son sees it and is damaged for life :D

And you want that kid to see your avatar, Jason?? :o

Congrats to the mauiro's on there new addition. :DIs baby "my hero" already a PDGA member?

Cool. I was right! Congratulations on your baby!!!

John, so glad to hear all is well and that your miracle is off to a good start. Hope Ryan stays healthy and that he never winds up looking anything like Rodney's vision.

CONGRATS My Hero!!!!! Happy to hear all is well!

"Those of you that are parents know, and those of you that aren't, i hope you will. This was the greatest day of my life"

Couldn't agree more John. You would think winning your first NT would be the best day of your life. NOPE! Not even close. My son turns 7 April 8th :D

"Those of you that are parents know, and those of you that aren't, i hope you will. This was the greatest day of my life"



You are sooo right John, thinking about you and what it was like having my 1st son born brings a tear to my eyes.

The second one has the same effect....

Congrats on the new addition. Now get that PDGA number.

Looks Great, lets hope he takes after Momma!!!!

( I got enough of that 11 months ago when my daughter wa born)

I got enough of that 11 months ago when my daughter wa born



and with good reason.

Thanks John! At first glance of Rodney's post i thought somebody posted pictures of Ryan......then again, i was viewing the post at 3:30am(diaper time :confused:) It took a few minutes for me to realize that those weren't the smoothest of chubby cheeks that i've come a custom to looking at :DGood luck w/ World Dubs this year. Hate to miss it, but i think i have a valid excuse /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Thanks T to the G! Your private message was very moving and encouraging. Thanks for the love!......oh yeah, and congrats again brutha! Come down for the VPO this fall, let's share that leadercard again!

Let's welcome one of the PDGA's newest member......

24447 Ryan BabyHero Maiuro

He joined at the ripe young age of 5 DAYS old! :D

BAGGER!

Just kidding, good job John!

How is #24447 doing these days? Has Ryan made his first putt yet? Is he sponsored?? John, best of everything to you and your recently enriched family!! :cool:
Doc

I will tell you one thing, John looked like my pic with massive blood shot eyes. He is not use to getting only 4 hours of sleep a night. Welcome to the world of having kids. (wait until they start comming to your bedroom in the middle of the night wanting to climb in bed with you, we finnaly started to lock for door to keep him out)

Ryan is doing great, thanks for asking.

No, he hasn't made his first putt yet....unless you count spitting up into my hand as putting. However, he and my wife have picked up sponsorship.....from guess who......yours truly!

I guess the only other disc golf related thing that ryan has done is thrown a tantrum....Seems to be the norm in our sport :D

I just want to know when will this child sleep through the night! This 3 and 4 hour stuff $uck$ :o

John, to be honest, it varies from child to child....

Personally, we were VERY fortunate in that department, after about the first week or two.

Look out Climo and Barry....there's a new kid in town!

LOL!

I honored that you chose to name young Ryan after me! I am certain that this will lead to throwing 500' by age 12. Good luck in fatherhood, and congratulations!

There were a few lucky Ryan's that we chose to name him after. Luckily for you, you were one of them. :DThanks.

To answer your question John, obviously when he's full..... :)

I was gonna say,

When they stop making candy plastic.

Has Ryan caught a Buzzz yet? :D:cool:

His diaper is full of %#^, does that count? :D

Now that's a good one!!!!! :)

No, golf discs are not for "catching." :o

Baby Hero is so cute!!! You should be proud John. Give him a <font color="red">RED </font> swirl to putt with. ;)

Thanks DV. Takes after his momma, obviously. He also knows the difference between Red and Pink!!!! LMAO! :D

:Dsure he does, must take after his momma in the color recognition department too.

only kidding with ya. the boy is very cute. i know everyone tells you this but they grow up so fast, so cherish every minute. it seems like yesterday my son was that young, he will be 11 next month.

John,

Baby Hero needs to build up his jaw muscles so he can start that smack talk that those yunguns like to try and do so much. THEN he'll start working on his throwing.

Priorities man :cool:

That is a pretty good looking kid... Keep him away from my daughter... :)

ce

congrats john, is this your first child?

congrats john, is this your first child?



No, i have a wife. :o

Just kidding Amy.(She reads the board from time to time.)

Yes it's our first. There's a first time for everything. We are only 2 weeks from his 1st B-day :D.........Wow.......a year already. :confused:

John,

Watch it, Ray! Or we will have to get John to come out for some Smack Talk Doubles to join our YGB team. Hey, what a great idea. We could always use a ringer!! :cool::D

Mark,

That's a possibility once daylight savings occurs. I'd love to help out the "yunguns" if i'm available. Don't know about being a ringer......the only thing "ringing" around here are my ears from all of Baby-H's toys that make noise. :confused:

Congrats Hero!!

The real question is..has Hero given her a mini yet?

Does BL know you're posting pics of his kid online, or has he already skeedaddled out of the country?

It's okay to miss the USDGC's and the Player's Cup for a few years when you come home to PDGA #33051.

On the other hand, my 3 y/o son (PDGA #24447) has <font color="red"> 666 </font> inscribed on the back of his head.

Hey, congrats on the good news. Why did you tattoo 666 on your son's neck? You better make him stand on his head when company comes over.
