I was having dinner with Kat and Lori when my water broke with Franny. Kat wisely recommended we have dessert with them before we left for the hospital.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Obligatory Zmayhem story: My water broke in the middle of the night. I dribbled all over the floor, all over everywhere, and then Hec got all flinchy over the prospect of having to go to the hospital at 2 AM and we had a tense discussion over whether or not it was actually pee.
Also, my water broke, but no labor ensued. Stupid body.
Jessica, public schools in every big city anywhere will make you want to cry. I recommend the frequent and liberal application of gin.

Thrive to spite them
It was supposed to be snowy and horrible this morning so my therapist moved the appointment (she has a 1 hour commute) but it only started snowing around 11. Adn it's stopped.
Now the forecast is about 3" today and by the morning 8".

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Or moving to Westchester. Where the property taxes are high and the schools are so easy...

I was denial. I didn't want to lose my last night of sleep for the next four years. Also, since she wasn't in labor I knew we'd just be in for an incredibly long haul at the hospital. Which was true.

Look at this adorable house in Ossining - [link]
And there is one elementary school there. You just walk in and register.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't know how to politely explain to someone that he didn't precisely go through pregnancy. If you're a cis-man, it's pretty much on the list of things that didn't happen. Your wife "went through" it. And it's great that you think pregnant women are so beautiful and pregnancy is such a magical thing, but that's something I'm going to leave up to every individual woman faced with it, and I'm going to assume that women that have been pregnant know more about it than either of us.

The snow is just starting here. Panic should follow in the next hour. Yes, even though snow is frequent occurrence here, people freak out every time were get more than a few cms. I blame the media.
