Delaware’s first live blog Birth! Live updates

IT’S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG PEOPLE…FULLY Dialated….next post will most likely be the actual one.

The nurse is going to page the doctor. Which is another funny story. The doctor is the same doctor that delivered my oldest. What a world….small world…Delaware

UPDATE III:  5 cms.  Time to get some rest.  The pushing will start around 2am is what the nurse said.  Thank God Baseball is on.  Only the 4th inning of the Red Sox game.  That should pass the time for a few hours while the Mrs. Hotviti sleeps. 

The nurse said this has been a really strange night. A lot of women have gone into labor. She said a woman gave birth right in the hallway. She said it hadn’t happened in years.

I thought I would share a story while I have your attention. When we were waiting to get a room we were on the first floor in basically a staging area where they took some basic information and got a room ready for you. There were several women behind the curtains.

One young woman that looked really young, early 20’s at best had come in about 20 minutes after the Mrs. and I had gotten there. I overheard her answering a question by the nurse. “Will anyone be joing you?”

“No”

“Is this your first”

“No, I have 2 other children, but I’ve also had 2 miscarriages”

“oh, wow, that’s tough, I’m sorry to hear that”

I looked at the wife and almost fell off my chair. Here was a young lady no older than 25 and she was alone birthing her 5th child. Right here in the lovely state of Delaware none the less. I just shake my head when I hear things like that. What on earth is wrong with that picture? What has gone wrong with society that we allow this to happen?

But it was not so much the number of kids she has had that penetrated me the deepest. It was the answer to the question if anyone was joining her. Regardless of this young lady’s choice to have sex there is another human being out there with a woman going into labor that won’t be there for it.

I can say, that when I was 19 years old, there was no way I was going to let my child. MY CHILD be born without it’s father being present. There was just no way I was going to let my own flesh and blood enter this world alone. Life is hard enough on a child.

Sad, just sad….

I just thought of something

Palin is a woman and Joe Biden could get totally tripped up b/c she has a set of knockers.  Jesus Christ!  This is incredible.  Holy shiiiiiiiioooooooonola are we in trouble.  Biden, has been completly isolated in the world thus far.  The Taliban like mentality in the Senate and Congress in general has definitely sheltered him. Nobody PANIC! (picture Airplane scene where everyone is freaking out, then you see that guy that is a krishna that looks like John Laroquette, then BAM that set of knockers appears for two seconds…then the shaking jello!!!!!) PANIC!!!!!!

I was thinking about this because I was riding on the train the other day and there was a woman sitting almost 15 feet away.  Jesus christ, you should have seen Joe.  He was wringing his hands and I noticed a bead of sweat on his brow. A few people circled around him to cut off his gaze from the woman. It was interesting to watch. It was subtle and effective. A circle of people came out of no where and enclosed themselves around Joe. Creating a human shield. Hardly any light snuck in between the handlers.

She was a voluptuous blonde standing almost 6 foot tall in her heels.  Black, shiney and deadly heals.  Her skirt, it was pink and it came about 4 inches above her knees.  Just enough for my mind to wander to Sister Alexander saying that a girls hemline should never be higher than the tips of her fingers if her arms were too her sides.
