Message: [QUOTE="pacusewife, post: 2715535, member: 5549"] Sure! It’s last year, mid-October, and Syracuse is gearing up for a seemingly impossible game against Clemson. My husband and I have had our season tickets purchased for months, eager to hopefully attend my favorite destination; my Dome Away From Home. Despite my insistence that Syracuse is home to many highly-regarded medical centers, using our better judgment, we decide that a four-hour trip and four-hour game may not be the best thing for a woman mere days away from her due date (no worries, we gifted our tickets to friends). As the game begins, we settle in on our couches and I jokingly inform my husband that no matter what, we won’t be leaving the house until after the game. Lot’s of people have home-births, we’ll be fine. As the game progresses, contractions begin. Mostly irregular but as the game intensifies, so do my contractions. I’m not concerned, this was my third child, and I know how this works. I casually mentioned the situation to my husband ensuring I caused the least amount of alert possible. There’s an epic game to be watched, after all! I did make it through the game, jumping, cheering, and yes, tearing up a bit after the win. Elated and charged, sleep did not come easy for us. We finally did make it to bed and anxiously awaited post-game pressers and articles. I believe I finally fell asleep a little after 1am, contractions be darned. A mere three hours later, I awoke to the typical signs that it was time to head to the hospital. I managed to watch a full day of college football in the delivery room before Amelia made her debut. So we had our win, we had our beautiful baby, and we had a nurse unknowingly give Amelia the perfect Syracuse nickname. The next morning, while doing the newborn check-in, our sweet nurse lifted our little bundle up and into her arms with a soft, “Good Morning Little Babers!” Clearly, a derivative of “baby” but my husband and I exchanged shocked faces nonetheless. Yes, we still call her Little Babers, and she thoroughly enjoyed her first game in the dome (outside of the womb, anyway), when we defeated Wagner this season. What can I say? We’re a Syracuse family! [/QUOTE]
