First Winter Storm And Still No Hammie

Yesterday, was one of the most harrowing days of my life. You see, it was the first major winter storm in New England. Snow accumulation was estimated to reach between a foot and foot and half. Normally, this would not be too much of a concern. You could just hunker down at home, maybe shovel a little bit, have hot chocolate, read, relax. Well, all of those things are fine unless you have a wife that is two days past due. Yesterday, I did work until two and then started see the snow fall. It did come down hard most of the day. I kept on thinking, 'Why today?' We were planning on renting a hotel room to be near the hospital and then decided against it. If anything happened we would need to be prepared for it. Another thing we planned was if we could not get out then we would take ambulance. But in any event, we still needed to get to the hospital. Thus, we (Poo-poo, Toe Ma and Danny) started shovelling us out. Unfortunately, since it was the first storm the snow blower didn't start up right away. Probably took fifteen minutes to get it started. Luckily, it did start and we were able to shovel us out. However, I was not sure how the roads would be.

We were fortunate to not have any incidents last night; however, tomorrow Boston is expected to get another five to six inches of snow. Let the fun begin.

Everyone is waiting on you now, Hammie.

The Waiting Game

At this point, Hammie is playing coy with us. He's like 'There is no way that I am coming in that weather. It is just too damn cold out there for me. I like it right where I am.' That is o.k. for now, but Hammie's due date is the 16th, so we are expecting him anytime soon. In fact, my wife has been to the MGH five times this past week.

This morning, she woke up and thought that her water broke. We went down to MGH but they said that it did not break. To me, it seemed like it did, for there was definitely a lot of water. But hey, what do I know about breaking water. From what people have told me breaking water could be a trickle down the leg or like a fire hose. Well, I hope for Tina's sake that it is like a trickle and not like the hose. I can only imagine what that looks like. Can you? Is it like the Colorado rapids or like a bubbling brook? I guess I could You Tube it to see if any one has posted what this looks like, but I will opt out of this for now since I just ate. But hey, maybe tonight when my stomach is empty.

Anyhoo, that is the story for now. Will keep you posted.
