Birthing Babies

I know, funny title........do you remember, way back when.....when a woman went into labor - the doctor would send someone to boil water - somewhere in the back of our minds - we knew why (sterilize scissors) - but it always seemed like 'busy work' - just to give someone something to do to get ready for the 'big event'.

"Pack your bags!"......think about it. We'll get the call - make our way to the hospital - Ron will be asked to shower (probably with antibacterial soap) - they'll put him in one of those pretty gowns with the rear ventilation system.

Surgery will last 7-9 hours, 2-3 days in ICU (still in that 'refreshing' gown), and 7-10 days in the hospital; exactly when will Ron need all those pairs of socks and underwear?

So we've decided "Pack your bags = Boil water". That's okay, it's all about preparation - and we're ready - bags and all!
