I can post this frequently because nothing is happening

We are now at hour 19.5 since we arrived at the hospital - Danielle is so good at labor that she's had consistent contractions but did not even know it....Still a long wait to go. Therefore: Post #2.

Important statistics we are tracking:

1) # of times a random nurse has come in and said "I am covering for Esther": at least 4. Who is this Esther? Did she win a bet? She's like the polkeroo (Canadian reference). Wiki link included because I asked Danielle if she'd heard of that and she looked at me like I was on crack.

link 2: Polkaroo video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghWpAgFfgV0

2) # of times I asked Danielle what was happening in the soap shows she was making me watch: 8. Many people kept coming back to life.

3) Shesh Besh scores: Danielle 1, Josh 1

4) # of times Danielle openly admitted to cheating in her shesh besh victory: 1

5) # of really bad farts that I ripped right before a doctor came in: 1

6) # of times the doctor assumed it was Danielle while I chuckled on the other side of the room: 1

7) # of times a happy smiley doctor said "this could take days!" while chuckling: 1. Danielle did her best to not throw something at her.

8) # of things that a doctor has said that make my jaw drop and want to laugh hysterically: 1. But danielle won't let me write what it was.

That's it, that's all: We will keep you posted (or feel free to delete....)

Danielle and Josh

Pictures for your amusement:

Had to change my shirt temporarily so the Giants shirt will be fresh for tomorrow. In case the baby magically shoots out, at least it will see MSU. I thought maybe a McGill Redmen shirt but Danielle wouldn't allow that.

148 beats per minute....this kid is getting a workout! sometimes it goes up to 170.

For those that have lived, traveled, or seen my apartment, you know that when I go somewhere I can expand like a vapor. Why should the delivery room be any different.

This is me decimating Danielle at Shesh Besh. She rolled 3 double fives in a row and may have been more upset about that than all the waiting....
