On the morning of March 16, 2012, Tina went in for her 37 week up checkup. With an elevated blood pressure and signs of preclampsia, I vividly recall her phone call: "I think they're going to admit me, and we might have a child this weekend." Immediately my brain sped through all the things that had to be done before this baby entered the world!
By the evening we were all settled in and had no idea what lay ahead. Induction would soon follow, and the weekend-long adventure (my words...Tina would probably choose something different!) was about to begin.
We didn't know if we'd soon be meeting our son or daughter;
we did know this child would be a Cubs fan.
A Cubs fan with rainbow legwarmers!
