Christina and I are very pleased to announce the birth of little Austin Rick McMahon!
July 3, 2008 - 11:25am - 6 lbs. 4 oz. - 20 in.
Christina and I went to the hospital on Tuesday, July 1st to get induced. Little did we know that we wouldn't see Austin for another 2 days! The inducing was increasing the strength and consistency of Christina's contractions, however it wasn't making her dialate. After laboring and going through strong contractions for over 40 hours (including an epidural that fell out), our doctor suggested that it would be best to do a c-section. Although we hadn't planned on a c-section, we both knew it was best for Christina's body and for Austin. Within 30 minutes of our doctor suggesting a c-section, Christina delivered Austin. Although I didn't get to cut the cord, it was very special being in the operating room with Christina.

Hearing Austin cry when the doctors delivered him and then seeing him just a few seconds later is something I will never forget. It was truly an amazing feeling to know that we were parents.
After the delivery, they had to finish stitching up Christina, so I went to change (you can only wear scrubs, a lunch lady hat, mask and booties for so long) and show our family some pictures in the waiting room. After about 45 minutes of some alone time with our new family of three, the rest of our family came into the room to visit Austin where we sang "Happy Birthday" and took a million pictures...

Our newest grandson is sooo handsome. We are having fun thinking of many ways to spoil him. Congrats to both of you. Just remember who will now be the new boss in the family!!!
Love you all,
Papa & Grammy Przystup
It is very obvious the two of you have reached the ultimate goal God had for you....being a parent. I know how long John has waited for this and i am sure Christina was also just as excited. We too are so proud to say we have a new little grandson. It looks like God is blessing us with a McMahon baseball team with two cheerleaders....We are thrilled for both of you and love all of you and want to see lot of baby Austin. its hard being a grandparent...cause you try to not smother all of you when you want to be there every day. Love, Grandpa and Grandma
