We were in labor 28 hours, so don't worry!

After being by my wife's side for six or seven hours of her labor I figured I had earned a couple of points and I asked her if I could go downstairs to the hospital coffee shop and get something to eat. Boy, what a mistake that was! Don't ask your wife that, OK? You'll lose like a million zillion points with her.

Our midwife was totally calm, but I made the big mistake of suggesting she should "lay down?"

So far its been a lot of walking around, getting in and out of spa tub, standing, but man she is a rock star! I couldnt do it. 3 minutes apart, 3 cm dialated, 90% effaced, so we will still be a while, no drugs yet though! I am so hungry but i wouldnt even think of leaving to grab a bite to eat  |

Wait it out, cut the cord, kiss you wife, and then go get a burger, have a beer and bring back something she likes to eat. Hospital food blows
After the learning curve on the first, we had the inlaws, brother in law, friends, photographers (there was a magazine shoot) show up with loaded coolers, playing cards, snacks while we waited
The midwife said it was the biggest mob she'd seen.

Sure there is: 99% of that pregnancy is hers, 1% is his. 
Congrats, Mr. & Mrs. candyman!
