Would You Take Your Shoes Off?

I'm realizing I'm gonna stink up the whole room if I take my shoes off. So looks like they're on for the duration. Whatever that means.

It brings to mind one really important thing to remember: Throughout the entire pregnancy, nothing happens for the men. You have the same needs, the same stinky feet. The same complaints. The same job. The same friends. The same clothes. Nothing changes, and everything changes for her.

This isn't a complaint.

Jen went with the Ambien. I think she was surprised by the contractions but they aren't the real deal. I think about a 5 on pain, a little too short and close together to be much. She'll need the rest for the stretch run. Doc has assured her there's no possible way she'll sleep through the bad ones. But this might help her through this initial stuff.

As my pa used to say, repeating from his old days as an air traffic controller, we are not beginning final approach. Landing gear is still up.

Back to above: so Jen's taking the drug to sleep. But shouldn't someone be up to kind of take care of everything? If it were you, wouldn't you think that maybe you'd just stay up and kind of watch the store for a while? I didn't take any drugs. All I know is I don't know what Ambien does to Jen. So I"m gonna stay up.

You all will have to deal with me running at the mouth - or blog - like this. Maybe i'll hunt down some links or something and share.
