Babies

So I am currently at the hospital in the labor and delivery wing for the first time as a NOT PATIENT. Today is Mary's day and she is going to have baby Isaac, eventually. My mom is watching the kids for me and I am here with Cameron and Mary's mom just sort of waiting. But it's a good kind of wait, you know?
It is interesting to be here on this side of the delivery bed! I still get that warm happy feeling listening to the baby's heartbeat though, even if it isn't from one of my babies. Something about that sound brings back the wonder of it all. It is Saint Patrick's Day and we are lucky because the hospital food is pretty good today - corned beef and cabbage and bangers and mash. I even snuck in a bottle of Kilt Lifter beer for Cameron. For later.
Right now two of the four people in here are snoring, so I am thinking it will be awhile before the little guy joins us.
Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
