Craziest day of my life. This could be the craziest admit story in the history of the world.
My wife went into labor 1 am on March 8. Labored at home 24 hours. No sleep. Finally around 1 am March 9 we make it to the hospital cause the contractions were close enough. We were in triage until 6 am, then finally got admitted to the hospital. I knew admits were going out today, but I had almost forgotten.
Around 11 am my wife started "pushing." In between contractions you have a little down time so I talked to the midwife and nurse about stuff and told them I could get the call today. I applied last year and was dinged so I wasn't really expecting anything, just happy my daughter was finally coming.
But then, in the middle of a contraction an 847 number called me. I didn't answer cause I have some clients in Chicago and didn't want to take a work call. When the contraction stopped I listened to the message and couldn't believe my ears. Admit. Really wasn't expecting it.
I broke the news to my wife, nurse, and midwife, we celebrated and then got back to work. Literally within 15 minutes we had a daughter. Happy. Tired. Excited.
Best of luck to each of you waiting and congrats to the other admits.
Amazing! Congratulations! That's some story to tell your daughter when she grows up...
I am amazed that you have time to post on this forum
