Last night was a rough one for Mandy. She had contractions off and on for a few hours. Before we went to bed we thought it might be the night, but we also remembered that we made a visit to the hospital on a night like this before Adam was born. They sent us home that night. Mandy felt that this would be the same outcome...so we waited.
During all of this, I realized that I am far from ready. We went to one birthing class, and I've already forgotten how the breathing works. My reaction: I need to read something. I probably also need to chill out a bit, but I want to be there for Mandy during this time. I want to be a good coach. She has to do all the work, but I want to play my role with excellence.
