In the hospital
August 29th, 2006Good news — I just found out that I can access the Internet from my laptop here in our room. We got to the hospital about 7 a.m. this morning, and now we’re sitting here in the room waiting. We think the surgery will take place about noon, but it may end up being later if there are any emergency C-sections necessary.
Our nurse was asking Sarah a bunch of questions as she was filling out the paperwork. She asked if Sarah had any false teeth — twice. I wondered if there are a lot of women giving birth who have false teeth these days.
I had a thought this morning as we were leaving the house — you know you’re a baseball junkie when, on the day your child is to be born, you’re obsessing about whether to start or bench Scott Olsen tonight on your fantasy baseball team. Right now I have him benched, which means he’ll throw a shutout. If I change my mind and decide to start him, he’ll give up eight runs in three innings. Count on it.
Praying for you guys.
False teeth, hmmmm. That’s just a weird question to ask such a young woman. Twice.
Praying today for a perfect delivery. Give Sarah and Daniel our love!
Uh, didn’t realize you use your teeth in the process of delivering a baby.
I’m praying for you guys - hope everything goes well.
That being the case, Tim, you must start him. I don’t wish to change my team name to Setting Sun quite yet.
Praying for the best for you and your family.
Been having a lot of flash backs today of you two in your teens….when I knew you both and neither of you knew the other. God is awesome. Give Sarah a hug for me.
I’ve prayed for you three today.
Based on your Candyland article you should have asked Daniel for his thougths on the pitcher!
You know you’re an obsessive blogger when you are on your laptop blogging and updating while WAITING FOR THE BIRTH OF YOUR CHILD.
Blessings to you all.
The day my second daughter was born, Dave Stewart and Fernando Valenzuela threw no-hitters.
I have a previous comment awaiting moderation. Is it because I ended a sentence with seven words in all caps? I apologize. Trusting that the baby arrives safely and healthy.
Yay babies!
And Tim, that’s what we call an addiction. (To baseball, that is.)
Don’t worry though, I’m right up there with you. Although, I honestly could care less who’s playing on my fantasy team tonight. I think I’m pretty much eliminated. I’m preparing for next year.
Yeah Craig, I was thinking about the karma thing. He’s got to have a good outing on the day my daughter is born, right?
Of course, he’s pitching against the Cardinals, and since I’m a bigger Cardinals fan than I am a fan of my fantasy team, I guess karma would mean the Cardinals would romp. He’s sitting the bench.
Hey misawa,
Guess what I did with Olsen tonight. Yep, he sat the bench. And of course, he proceeded to throw a three-hitter.
Unfortunately, in making my decision, I neglected to take notice of the fact that he was facing Mark Mulder. That made Olsen a shoo-in to win the game.
I bet the false teeth question was required because of whatever anesthesia they were planning on using. . . And wanting to be sure there wasn’t anything “loose” that could be swallowed or cause choking.
Still, twice? Weird.
