Summary

This post originally said "if you're seeing this, it means I'm heading to the hospital to watch my wife have a baby! Be back soon, wish us luck, all that good stuff." That's not 100% accurate, but it's close enough. Yesterday my wife started contractions, signaling that we're nearing the end of the road on this whole having a baby thing. Around the same time, both of our kids came down with... something. My son's got a fever, my daughter doesn't. We ended up sending my wife out in an attempt to keep her from getting sick, which so far has worked out. But the sickness is lingering. I haven't come down with anything yet and... yeah, I don't know. The person who was going to watch the kids while we go to the hospital is someone we really don't want to get covid, so now we're faced with trying to ascertain what, exactly, these kids have and deciding if the existing plan is still good or not. So far the tests have been negative. Seems likely that my wife will go into proper labor today, but hey, who knows. Either way, I'll be out of range for a little bit while we get all this stuff done. Wasn't expecting this last-minute illness in the plans, but it'll all be fine in the end. Get ad-free podcasts, bonus shows and more over on Patreon!

0:00.0	Hi everybody. I'm talking quietly because there's sleeping children in the house. And I was
0:15.4	making noise earlier. I wave a camera. My daughter's room upstairs and I heard her make
0:24.2	a bunch of noise. I'm like, okay, we can't. I got to talk a little quieter here. Okay,
0:31.6	so it's been a long day. It's, uh, it's October 1st. I'm sitting here 730 watching this, uh,
0:42.6	this, uh, Kenny Omega, Chris Jericho thing, uh, and I am getting ready to go to the hospital. My wife
0:53.3	is, uh, man, so my kids are sick or they got sick or my son has a fever. And so as soon as we
1:02.0	figured out that he had a fever, we'd, she took off. She went to go to her mom's house thinking,
1:07.8	like, okay, well, we don't want my wife to get sick. She's like super close to delivering this baby
1:13.1	and, and all this sort of stuff. And so, so she took off out of there. I stayed here to put the
1:18.9	kids to bed and, and, and, and all that other stuff. Um, and of course, the contractions are
1:28.1	picking up and she's head into the hospital. So she's playing a cautious, I should probably just,
1:36.1	you know, I'm, I'm all packed up. I'm ready to go. Like I'm 99% sure that I'm out out of here
1:41.4	tonight to go, uh, be with her at the hospital. Um, but she's going to go get checked out and make
1:48.7	sure that they're not like, oh, it's not time yet, blah, blah, go home or, you know, something
1:52.8	like that. But I, I, from talking to her on the phone, I think it's, I think it's safe to say,
1:58.2	you'll be hearing this, I guess, because if, uh, if it's not time, then I, I guess I just won't
2:03.0	put this up or something, but, uh, just want to let everybody know, um, that it's baby time. So
2:09.8	we're going to go, uh, we're going to go have this baby. And, um, that, uh, almost certainly means
2:17.6	no podcast on Tuesday, uh, because we will probably still be in the hospital.
2:24.6	Uh, for the, you know, whether it's takes for a long time or, I don't know, you know, I don't,
2:28.4	these things, they happen different ways, right? But, um, yeah. Um, no regular show on Tuesday.
2:36.2	And, uh, you know, I'll, I'll keep you posted. We'll play it by year, all that sort of stuff,
