...You know all the Labor and Delivery nurses by name.
...You've watched the clock strike midnight TWICE during you're labor and you're still only 7 cm.
...Another Father-to-be says to your husband in the hallway, "You're still here? Oh man."
...You've consumed approximately 28 popsicles and you've changed your mind multiple times as to which is your favorite flavor, rootbeer or banana.
...All other patients' names on the whiteboard have been erased and replaced by new patients' names TWICE and your name is still up there!
...You've seen 6 out of the 7 doctors in your practice (and to think we were so happy to think that the first one was going to deliver our son).
...Your husband asks you what you want to do regarding a medical decision and you respond by saying, "I just want to go home. Seriously, Ben can be born another day, let's just go home."
As I told your husband, "I mean she DID run the NYC marathon with a 103 temp and AMA, so is it really surprising that she had a 43hr labor?"
