Well, my wife is currently IN LABOR. I am in the room at Queen of Peace Hospital in New Prague. Contractions are currently around every 3 minutes for a minute a piece. (not that i know, thats what i’m told)
Bethany conveniently waited until AFTER i was done with work, so i have been without sleep for a long while…and from what people tell me i will not get to have a good nights sleep for a long while.
It all seems so surreal. 9 months have come and gone and now its the big time. Its definitely real now. It hit during the phone call when i was leaving work. I didn’t know the Stratus could do 90, but she can. Perhaps what i was actually waiting for was a police escort home, but instead…just arrived home.
I thought i was organized at home, but had to remember everything. I fell UP the stairs…do you know how hard it is to fall up the stairs. Bethany has already told me she won’t let me forget it.
I am trying to catnap a little as we have a long ways to go, but at the same time I don’t want to miss anything. I realized that although the hospital gets Game Show Network and the History Channel, they do not get FSN…i will definitely follow the Twins somehow, but perhaps for the first time ever the outcome seems trivial.
Enough random thoughts for now. perhaps more to come.

You ARE the nervous dad…up the stairs huh?? I’m so happy for you! I’m going to be in MN in April, but I’m not sure I’ll have any time to come visit

Okay…let’s try this again, as myself, not my work!

Oh man…I remember Erik trying to find twins games while we were in the hospital. I am so excited for you guys…I’ll be checking back often to see how everything went and see when the newest twins fan arrives. You’re all in my thoughts and prayers today!! Congratulations
