Will Mike make it through delivery (without having to leave the room or passing out)?
Yes, Mike did make it through both labor and delivery. He was my hero that day. He simply did what the doctors and nurses asked him to do without question (though he did look a little green). But most importantly to me, he held my hand the whole way through. I know...cheesy...but it really helped. Also, Mike couldn't eat for a while (that goes along with the green tint on his face) and yes, he will need therapy.
AJ - Mike will make it through the delivery without passing out.
Blake - Mike's gonna need therapy after this! Bro, you're not a wuss, but I KNOW YOU and your about to go through a HECK of a ride buddy. Better strap on a helmet, but no worries, it's all good if you blackout. You're already at the hospital. =)*) Now... I don't know what's gonna happen, but I KNOW this one ain't gonna be easy for you. However, I also know that your gonna give it all you got and not only do your best, but you'll make the best of the situation for everybody. Don't worry about cutting the cord, tissue is actually kinda cool when you cut it! However... if you barf I'm gonna laugh.
Christina - I haven't met him, but I'm rooting for him. You can do it, Mike!
Grandma Jean - Mike will go into the delivery room with a smile of excitement on his face and make it through the entire delivery. After all, you and the baby are his favorite girls!
Grandpa Alan - Mike will not pass out.

Jeanie - Mike will heroically take over for the doctor when the doctor gets an eyelash in his eye and can't see straight.
Jen - I think Mike will definitely have to leave the delivery room.
Jenn - He can't leave and miss your little miracle!!
Krista - He'll make it, but he'll look a little green!
Lisa M. - Mike will have a panic attack, pass out in the car driving you to the hospital, you'll have to take over, and he won't come to until Mom wakes him up with her crying.
Lisa T. - Will Mike make it? Of course! The Dads kinda get into that "labor and delivery" frame of mind as well. I bet he will really surprise you. I know mine did! He will be your biggest cheerleader!
Megan - Mike will stay with a smile on his face and more than a few nervous laughs.
Nana Lynn - May not faint but will not be able to eat for 12 hours.
Scott - he won't leave the room (because he won't be able to move passed out on the floor)

Will Grandma (Jean) make it through the delivery day without crying?
You're not going to believe it. Mom did not cry! She was a little emotional...but no tears. Whoa. I guess there were enough tears in the operating room when Zoe was born to make up for the Lost Tears of Mom.
AJ - Mom will cry.
Blake - Yup. Better grab a tissue.
Christina - I'm going to vote yes...there will be tears.
Grandma Jean - There may be a slight tear or two.
Grandpa Alan - Your mother will cry the day before and the week after.
Jeanie - Momma Jean will be dry-eyed. The ever stoic matriarch seasoned with earthly entries.
Jen - There's no way your mom will make it through the day w/o crying :)
Jenn - I say everyone will be crying.
Krista - Lots and lots of happy tears!!
Lisa M. - Mom will definitely cry. She just can't help it.
Lisa T. - Will Mom cry? Absolutely! Your witnessing a miracle. How does someone NOT cry?!?!?!
Megan - Mom cry? Uh, yes.
Nana Lynn - Will bawl for 24 hours straight.
Scott - mom is crying now just reading the blog entry :) (hi mom!)

    Date: Apparently I can only choose ONE date, and weight. (Mel said so), hmm... gee... I guess I'm gonna go with the 10th... I don't know WHY I'd pick the 10th... I just got this feeling that MAYBE I should pick the 10th.
