Psychic might not be the word others would choose. But close.You're some sort of psychic midwife.
Yeah, none of us can clinch the time. Er, bad choice of wording.Psychic might not be the word others would choose. But close.
REVISED TIME:Just got an update, she has slowed down. Only at a 5 now. Brandon said they were having trouble with the epidural but I am not clear if he meant trouble placing it or if it just isn't helping the pain.
I so very much appreciate you all keeping me company and worrying/laughing/playing along!!! Means a whole lot to me!!
Marti's mom just called me too and offered for Marti's sister to come sit with the kids so I could go to the hospital. But I promised to not be a pest so I said thank you for thinking of me but I will wait. I think Brandon and Marti will appreciate that. I hope so anyway!

I let you in my head! Back to my original bet way back this morning! I will narrow down to 4:40!REVISED TIME:
5:23 p.m.
I do not want to intrude on their special moment. I asked them specifically what they wanted me to do and am trying hard to abide by it. I would be up there in 1.2 seconds if they said come. I do not have very much patience myself!You're so good.
Back in the day before cell phones, I may or may not be notorious in my family for paging my mother at different stores.
I have no patience.
I totally understand and agree with your plan. So considerate and yet, so hard!I do not want to intrude on their special moment. I asked them specifically what they wanted me to do and am trying hard to abide by it. I would be up there in 1.2 seconds if they said come. I do not have very much patience myself!
Cat, I have to step away. But I will check in later to your profile to see if there is an announcement.I do not want to intrude on their special moment.

Thank you for caring!!!Cat, I have to step away. But I will check in later to your profile to see if there is an announcement.
I send each and every one of your tribe (as in family), all my best wishes for a healthy, happy baby and mother.
Thank you for sharing this moment with us.
It's been great fun!Thank you for caring!!!
Great news.Brandon just texted that she was doing good now and getting some rest. So the epidural must have finally kicked in.
I have been reading a Jeeves and Wooster book called The Inimitable Jeeves and all of this reminds me of it - they would bet on various unusual things (like how long the minister's sermon would last and would list the local ministers as if they were horses in a race!)Thank you for caring!!!
