My niece from my wife's side of the family is in the hospital in labor as I type . The parents already know the gender of the child and have the name picked out. This is their first.
My complaint: The phone is ringing constantly imformimg my wife of how many centimeters she's dilated, she just received the saddle block, etc ad nauseum.
I just told the wife, "Excuse me. You have mistaken me for someone who cares. Just inform me of when the baby is actually born. I don't even care how long or what weight. Until then, you may leave me out of this information loop."
The grandmother,my wife and all the old hens are clucking and pecking and driving me crazy.
I think I'll go out to the boat barn and drink beer till this baby arrives in the world.
PS. It didn't help my cause when I told the father-to-be to hold the baby up by it's bottom lip to judge it's weight.
