No, we are not “Mommy and Daddy” yet. It turns out Amy’s not had any contractions today. After speaking with the doctor, she was going through false labor.

If that was false, the real thing will not be pleasant for my beautiful wife. At least she knows what to expect now. Her suitcase is packed and in the car, and the car seat has been installed.

It’s just a sit-and-wait now. Our girl could be here by the end of the week. We’ve got another doctor visit Thursday, so maybe we can make it until then.

I’ll keep posting to keep you… posted.

Amy started feeling those painful contractions today. For about two hours, they were 10 minutes apart. They’ve come and gone throughout the afternoon, but maybe one every couple of hours now.

Could we be parents by the time the weekend is over? I’ll let you know!

It’s Friday night, and it’s been one heck of a long day. This was one of the most mentally and emotionally challenging days I’ve had at work, but it was also one of the most rewarding.

Take care, David. We’ll miss you.

…when the doctor tells your wife today, “I’ll see you in about a week… Or sooner.”

That line, among other things like measurements, position, etc., made us realize our little girl might be here in a few days . Her due date is March 5th, but we might have a mid-February surprise.

I’ll keep you updated. We may be parents sooner than we think.

Well, NBC is going to kill off one of my favorite shows. I was watching tonight’s episode (thank you, TiVo!) of Las Vegas. They’re moving it to Friday nights after the Olympics.

That makes me sick. No good show survives that move. I was a big fan of Boston Public, then Fox moved it to Friday nights. Just like that… gone.

My favorite show is American Chopper, and Las Vegas is a very close second. I’m glad to have the Discovery Channel because NBC will lose me after Las Vegas disappears. That shouldn’t be long now.

I don’t regularly watch any other shows on NBC, CBS, Fox, or ABC. So… long live cable!
