What does one do?

[Rich]

I worked a game on Friday and Tuesday around my wife's Sunday evening birth. I didn't miss a thing.

You know your wife and your relationship better than any of us do. I know people who are appalled that I was on the floor when my wife was in the hospital being monitored and admitted, but she insisted I go and do the game after the doctor told her it would likely be at least 12 hours and they'd probably have to induce labor. She knew I'd drive her crazy. And it wasn't 12 hours, it was more like 72 between being admitted and when they finally induced labor. By then I had been there and had been sent home to sleep on Saturday night.
