We’re doing a homebirth. She goes into labor at around 11:40 am. Midwife arrives and starts setting up shop in the bedroom.
“I was thinking that the living room might be more ideal for a birth”
“Really? This room seems quieter and more peaceful”
“She won’t like the quiet. Nor the peace”
We set up in the living room where coincidentally the game is on. Volume is down most the way (I’m not a monster).
<few hours later after a big contraction>
“I’ve got great news”
“Can you see the baby yet?”
“No. Syracuse scored”
No laughs. Tough crowd.
<half hour later the midwife addresses me>
“Can you DVR this?”
“I am unfamiliar with that technology”
“Well can we turn off this distraction?”
“What distraction? I’m not distracted. You’re distracted”
3:39 pm - Dungey kneels down to run the clock out
3:41 pm - little boy pops out
What a considerate little runt
