We’re back! Pregnancy week 40 brought Baby T into this world! This will be a quick post – we have a lot of family and friends coming over today to see our little guy. Everything is going great. Baby Tarzan is great. Jane is doing and feeling great (minus being a little sore!). I’m doing great. We’ve very happy!
There is SO MUCH that Jane and I want to share with you. There’s so many stories, so many details, so many things… We’ll get new posts out in due time, once we get things somewhat in order around here. But more importantly, as I mentioned on Jane’s Twitter account, I promised a photo of our little Baby Tarzan.
And there he is above!
As far as the winner who won the contest about guessing the date and time Baby T would be born, please give us a few days to get a chance to go through those and see who won. 
Jane says hello to everyone and she’ll post when she can – it may be a few days or more. Mommy needs her sleep!
Also, a BIG BIG BIG thank you for the 1,000’s of congratulations we received on Jane’s Twitter account when Baby Tarzan was born – and the congratulations continue to come in. Thank you guys so much – Jane and I read all of the replies and posts to us while we were hanging out with Baby T at the hospital. We appreciate all of you so much – you have no idea how helpful everyone has been to us. Thank you.
Oh, before I run… what did Jane do before the day she went into labor?
It was so funny… the day before she went into labor, I blogged listing 29 ways to induce labor from home. The night before we had sex, Jane ate pineapples, pizza with hot spices on it and hot wings. We wanted to do all we could to get things moving – so maybe those worked or maybe it was a coincidence. We’ll have to test those again the next time around. :)
And finally… what’s next for the His Boys Can Swim blog? Well, A LOT. There’s a lot that we want to talk to you guys about – but give us a week or two on that one. Bottom line is that we will of course keep our pregnancy and now baby blog going and going. :) We’ll just be adding a few things that Jane and I came up with over the past 9 months.
OK, gotta get ready for fam and friends to come over. Thanks again to ALL of you. We appreciate you SO VERY MUCH!
Tarzan
P.S… Baby Tarzan was born on his due date and from what I read (which surprised me) only 5% of babies are born on their due date. Jane also didn’t have to have a c-section, so combine those two together and Baby T is a very special baby! He was 7 pounds, 12 oz. 20 and 1/4 inches long! Jane’s water broke at 4 AM and was in labor for about 12 hours. I’m so proud of her – she did good!

Hoorayyyyy!! I’m so pleased for you all, and thank you SO MUCH for sharing it all with us in your blog and on twitter…you managed to get in more than I did!
Baby T is fab
Congrats again you guys! He’s adorable! I love how you made the little Baby Tarzan tag for his hospital crib too… hilarious
Welcome to the Other Side of Pregnancy… Parenthood!
P.S. Jane is really a great statistic holder… only about 11% of people actually have their water break on its own too!
Congratulations! I am due August 12th and its been fun to be able to share in your journey. I’m glad to hear the blog will be continuing as well. Get some rest and enjoy Baby T!
Have been a lurker for quite some time …wanted to leave congrats on twitter but didnt know how to send a message…Baby T is really adorable . Many congratulations to both of you….your blog is a treat to read
rosh
He is absolutely precious… Thank you for taking us with you on your special journey bringing baby T into this world.. Congrats again!!
CONGRATS! I followed everything and feel like I know you guys. I can’t wait to follow the rest of the story.
Congrats you two!!! I just found your blog within the last two weeks and have been reading past entries to catch up. You guys are hilarious and I can’t wait to keep reading now that Baby Tarzan is born. Plus the hilarious baby photos that I’m sure will come with each entry.
Aww, congrats. I’m so jealous, BTW. My due date was yesterday, so we’re still patiently waiting. I’m living vicariously thru your blog at this point!
Congratulations – Baby T sure is a handsome little guy!
I’m so happy to hear that you guys will be continuing your blog! I found hisboyscanswim.com when I first found out I was pregnant (I’m 21 weeks along, now) and I can’t imagine life without your funny and candid posts. I can’t wait to see what kind of adventures Baby T will take you guys through in the coming months and years.
He’s beautiful, you guys! Congrats again.
And it sounds like you did a wonderful job, Jane! It’s always nice when things go the way you want them…I read on the Twitter you’re breastfeeding…How’s that going so far?
omg he is so cute… congrats again i want to blog about my pregnancy now lol but im not so good at writing and making things interesting. wish you guys the best of luck with baby tarzan…
He is absolutely precious! Jane did a good job baking that baby! Congratulations again. I am so thrilled for you two, and so excited to be joining you in parenthood in just a few short weeks!
Also, if I remember correctly, comment #8 won the “labor day” contest. I think it was Mandi? I just did a ctrl+f for “July 23″ and looked at everything that came up, and she was VERY close time-wise.
I second the comment above- I also went through the posts and came out with Mandi as the winner.
Oh my goodness….he is absolutely so handsome!! So glad to hear that everything went so well and that there were no complications for either Jane or Baby T. Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us and I will be looking forward to what is going on now that you have him home
) Enjoy him and everyone else who is going to go crazy over him!!!
Baby T is absolutely beautiful. You done good Tarzan and Jane:-)
I’m SO curious about the name you chose. Of course, you may not want to share it with us, but I’d love to know. I hope you’ll tell us!! I seem to remember one of you saying that it was printed on the wall of his nursery…so maybe that’s why you haven’t shared the completed nursery pics?
Anyway, enjoy your family time. I’ll be checking back frequently.
PS- somebody messaged me today who thinks this blog is a hoax…LOL!
He is adorable… Many happy days to come for u guys… Can’t wait until I meet my boy in 3 months… N to keep reading ur post

Congrats and job well done guys! Baby T is precious. I enjoyed following the pregnancy and birth. Looking forward to hearing about parenthood…through your eyes.
He is precious! He looks like a little baby doll=)
He is beautiful! Congratulations on creating this beautiful being and bringing him into the world!
awww…newborns are so sweet. I miss my youngest being a newborn & he’s not quite 5 months. It really does go sooo fast (although while you’re in it, it feels like forever). Take time every day to just love on him. And I second taking *lots* of pictures. You won’t have time with the next baby (if you have one
)
Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. Best wishes!
He is so beautiful. A million congratulations to all of you! Thanks so much for continuing to share your journey with us!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, he’s so precious! Congrats, you guys! Welcome to the club. God bless your new family.
Well, he’s not as hairy as I was expecting for a Baby Tarzan hehehhehehehe
Congratulations guys – it was exciting following the birth on Twitter after following your blog for so long. You did GREAT and got in and out of that hospital quick smart and c-section free… nice work on that front too! Really pleased to hear that you’re going to keep the blog going – a lucky treat for us. Congrats congrats congrats.
Congrats again! Baby T is a cutie!
Jane and Tarzan, Baby Tarzan is absolutely gorgeous. Be sure to spend lots of time together with your new family and get into the groove of life with baby. Enjoy the little guy, take lots of photos for yourself because they really do grow up so quickly.
P.S. Jane, you did an amazing job! So proud that you did what you wanted and had a relatively short labor for a first baby. So many things from Tarzan reminded me of my first labor
When you get back into the swing of blogging, I would love to see a post about what items were/were not needed in the hospital. Congrats again!
Congrats on your beautiful little baby boy!
Congratulations! =) We added our baby to the mix this week and it’s so unbelievably exciting to see that you did too =) I hope you enjoy the time with family and friends and, most of all, baby Tarzan!!
Congratulations on the birth of Baby Tarzan! Sweet little newborn baby! Kiss! Kiss!
Welcome to the parenting world, Tarzan and Jane! And do get as much sleep and rest whenever possible, Jane! Sleep is a luxury now….and I mean it!
HUGS! Congrats , he is such a sweet baby! Rest well and enjoy each moments!:)
More Congratulations and Baby Tarzan is adorable!!! Thanx for sharing the picture of him.
Congratulations, what a little beauty, the two of you must be sooooo proud!
Congrats, what a cutie!
Yay, congratulations! I’m at 23 weeks now and following your stories has made me so excited for what’s on the horizon! I so hope you will share your little boy’s name with us. Good luck and try to get some sleep
Congrats! Glad to hear that everything went smoothly for you guys. He’s a cutie!
Congratulations! Loved following your Tweets.
Congratulations! He is such a handsome little Tarzan! Great job, Jane and Tarzan!
Oh my goodness he is SO cute! Congrats y’all!
Congrats!! I have been reading your blog for awhile now, and I love it! Baby Tarzan is precious…..Spend as much time as you can with your little guy because he will grow so fast! I have a 16 month old son and a 2 month old (today!) daughter so I can tell you firsthand that time just flies by. I also had my son right on his due date after my water broke, which is so uncommon especially for first time moms. Isn’t it great to have punctual babies!
I too think I was the closest, but all that matters is that he is a beautiful healthy baby! Congrats guys! My internet has been on the fritz til today so I had to stop and say congrats since I saw all the updates on Twitter. He is adorable guys!
Congrats, I’m excited for the two of you. He is very very handsome. I know you’ll enjoy the time you two have with him. I only have one more day before my son comes into the world. It’s a journey you wont quickly forget (at least until you do it again and wonder why in the first place which is another story entirely) and one you will love the rest of your lives.
I just stumbled upon this because I saw on Twitter Tarzan posted! Congratulations to you both! And how cool that you gave birth on your due date, Jane! That IS rare considering it was your first pregnancy and you weren’t induced. I’m jealous, lol! Although my baby #2 came a week early (although I think the doctor was WRONG.)
Your little guy is adorable and I can’t wait to read your 4 am incoherent blog ramblings when the boy is keeping you up all night, lol. Have fun!
Just wanted to say hes so cute, and congrats on a wonderful new addition to the family!
Congratulations on your little guy! I have also heard that it is very unusual for a baby to be born on their due date, so he is indeed special. Now you get to look forward to all the precious moments (and the non-precious lol) with your baby.
Thanks SO SO SO much everyone! Jane and I really appreciate all of the wonderful comments and all of the congrats from all of you. We appreciate all of you so much – many of you have helped us get through Jane’s pregnancy, through the good times and bad, the crazy, and normal. And now, we slowly move to the next chapter… PARENTHOOD! Whooo Hooo!
Congratulations, he is adorable! Loved your twitter updates!
Congrats you too. I feel so excited since I’ve followed you for so long. I can’t wait to hear how you adjust. Hee hee.
I meant two. That’s how excited I am that I messed it up. LOL
Congrats on a beautiful baby boy!
Congratulations guys!!! He is such a cutey!!! This is so exciting and I don’t even know you. Can’t wait till my day finally comes!

Wow! You are a fantastic writer and storyteller. I was interested in every word. Hanging on every word. I’m in a similar boat. I’m almost 30 and desperately want to have a baby now but we are small business owners. New business. Only been open about 2 years. Can’t get medicaid and can’t afford health insurance. Can’t afford to pay out of pocket either. I feel like I’m running out of time but I don’t know what to do. I can’t go broke or go in debt just to have a baby because then how do I support the baby once it’s here. I’m so scared and have no options. If you have any advice I would greatly appreciate it. Congrats on your baby.
