Earning my GeekDad cred
Friday, October 5th, 2007Here, for posterity’s sake, is how I liveblogged my wife’s labour and baby girl’s delivery using Facebook status updates:
September 28
John is timing contractions! 9:36pm
John is finding the iPod perfect for timing contractions. 9:56pm
John is watching his wife updating a Calc spreadsheet during labour. Amazing. 10:28pm
John is realizing that using an iPod to time contractions officially qualifies him as a GeekDad. 10:50pm
John is boiling water (for tea) and resisting the urge to tear up old sheets. 11:08pm
John is off to bed. Maybe Ella will come overnight. 11:14pm
September 29
John is having breakfast and then it’s off to the hospital. Updates from my cellphone when I can. 10:06am
John is at the hospital. We have our room. Everything going well. 12:56pm
John is having lunch. Ella’s birthday could be today or tomorrow. 3:06pm
John is glad Laurie is getting some pain relief and some sleep. Epidurals are great. 8:41pm
September 30
John is a daddy to Ella Faith Bowman, 8 lbs. 3 oz., born at 10:31 last night. 7:46am
John is home with Ella and Laurie and is going to bed. 2:31pm
