With the delivery date of my son fast approaching, my wife Jenni and I have been going through a checklist. Nursery is ready…car seats inspected…10,329 diapers ready to be filled. I came home yesterday and saw this red bag on the bed. SHE’S KICKING ME OUT?!?! I immediately thought back to the last 24 hours, wondering if I said anything incredibly dumb! I’ve uttered my fair share of moronic comments, but making me pack my bag was a bit extreme! Gotta be the hormones. Oh wait!…Jenni had said something about packing HER bag to take to the hospital. Whew!…that was close. So here was the text exchange between me and my wife yesterday…
GREG: Saw the bag on the bed…am I in trouble?
JENNI: Probably! LOL…What should I pack for to take to the hospital?
GREG: Food? Candy? Pizza Rolls? Pop Rocks?
JENNI: I’m not packing food!
GREG: Don’t pack much, that way we can take stuff home from the hospital room! Bet they have cool robes and little bottles of shampoo! Maybe the Bible!
JENNI: It’s not a hotel Greg! Come on, you’re not helping!
GREG: What about the DOG! He’s like a therapy dog! Wouldn’t it be cool to have Gunther there while you deliver the baby?!
(no reply for about 10 minutes)
GREG: Hello?
JENNI: I need you to be serious for 5 minutes and help me pack my bag.
GREG: I WAS HELPING! What’s wrong with bringing Gunther?!
JENNI: WE ARE NOT BRINGING THE DOG!!
GREG: See, you’re already feeling anxious…a Therapy Dog would do you some good.
(again, no reply, this time for about 30 minutes)
GREG: Okay, I’m sorry…aside from clothes, what else do think you’ll need?
JENNI: Phone charger, glasses, contact case
GREG: Deodorant.
JENNI: Do I smell bad??
GREG: You’ve been sweating a lot lately.
JENNI: WHY DIDN”T YOU SAY SOMETHING?!!! AHHHHH!! I’m out.
So as you can see, we need a little help packing Jenni’s bag to take to the hospital. Any suggestions from moms and dads who’ve been down this path before? You can post your suggestions on my Facebook page: GREG BROWNING FACEBOOK PAGE
Any help would be very much appreciated…just don’t suggest deodorant~
