Second baby arrived today - all over in 15 minutes.
Beats the 8 hour ordeal with the first one.

8 hours for a primer is short. 15 minutes for the second is amazing. Congrats to both.

It was kind of surreal. We were both psyched for another full-day experience, but it ended up like watching the highlights of a football game during the news hour if you know what I mean. No time to get to a birthing suite - he was born in a resus bay in the ED at Sunshine hospital. (Yeah, Australian medical jargon - translate to your local dialect if you can.)
Oh, and as an aside, if you or a friend is going to have a baby in Melbourne, Sunshine hospital is the best place for it. We actually live closer to the Royal Melbourne and Royal Women's hospitals, but we chose to go to Sunshine because it's better. It's sad in a way, but the fact that it services a large area with lots of lower income residents and immigrants means they've become very efficient and also accommodating.
Don't get me started on Royal Women's - a friend of mine had a baby there, and it was a clusterfuck. She was given bad advice throughout the process, and ended up being left unattended when she needed attention the most, so she suffered brain damage from loss of blood. Thankfully the baby was OK. That place is better at performing abortions than delivering babies. The most ironic part is that she actually lives pretty close to Sunshine, but her hubby and mother-in-law wanted the baby born at the Royal Women's.

resus = rhesus? Something about monkeys with erectile dysfunction? I'm lost...

I'm guessing it meant the ambulance bay, or maybe the waiting room of the ER?
A friend of my wife had her 2nd child in a stairwell at the hospital. So close....

CONGRATULATIONS! The more the crazier as my dad always said.

I’m convinced Mario is a hobo.
He wakes up everyday in the same clothes, runs around in sewers, and collects coins for a living.
At the end of the day, he uses the coins to buy mushrooms

Congrats. 2nd one is easier than the first it seems, if only for the lack of stress over all the uncharted territory.

ED = Emergency Department (I think this is the same as USian ER)
Resus = Resuscitation. A hospital will have a number of "resus bays" close to the ED entrance(s) for attending to urgent cases. They're packed out with as much general-purpose stuff as they can fit, but won't have the specialised stuff you'd find elsewhere (e.g. they sent a student to run off and fetch a foetal heartbeat monitor).
> You guys mangle the language worse than the English.
Yeah, and we have no shame about it
