I have two guildies who are husband and wife (good friends of mine as well). Suddenly in guild chat: "I think my wife's water broke.... "
His wife and him are getting a run on their 2nd characters, well his 3rd actually I think.
Anyways next he says:

"Is it ok if we go afk in the run?"

Runner (another guildie): "Np, it'll be fine"

So I am on the phone with my friend (after he has called the doctor) and in the background I hear his wife go: "Oh no ...I think our runner is dieing..."
Husband: "nah he'll be alright"

I'm sitting there yelling at both of them to MOVE IT! Today was their day away from their daughter who was with the grandfolks and they haven't played much together since his wife hit the last months of pregnancy. So basically they were eating it up and enjoying their time...
The last thing I heard after hearing her complain about a contraction was: "Hun we really should get a laptop."

now I thought I was going to fall out of my chair... Two of the greatest people I have ever known, and while I think this is just ridiculous, I also have run into a few others out there that have a hard time walking away even when real life hits. I mean I know I do.

GW is the great escape in our house, just as it is at theirs and many others.
How often do we do these silly things like ignore peeing for 8hrs straight or refuse to sleep cause we can't tear away. I used to be like that, but I burned out and my youngest doesn't tolerate it anymore.

Reguardless, congrats to them and I am willing to bet that they and new baby make it to the Dragon Festival, even if for a short time.
(Sorry this has been a major happy moment for me, for them!

No I am sure with the two of them they would have waited till he was done... They were really taking their sweet time about it.

The thing is, when it comes time it just seems unreal and ya never really let it sink in especially after you've had one already that there is any real rush. My concern was that her OB appointment was today and their doctor is out of town due to a death in the family. The live in little backwaters BFE and there isn't much that is ever an emergency to them. She's supposed to have a C-section because of gestational diabetes, they don't know if its head down because of the canceled appointment... I'm just sitting here worrying a million and one things for them and besides the laptop thing they were waiting for their 3yr old to finish her food.... Soo yeah, they would never have been in a hurry. And I will tell em ^_^ Thanks!

Kid: Mommy, where did my name, Rurik, come from?
Mom: Well dear, we named you after this suicidal, pompous, retarded prince character from a computer game
Kid: I hate my life (Kid becomes emo)

Please, for the sake of your poor kid, do not name them after a virtual character. Especially Rurik.

Hehe, nice.

Kudos to you and your wife for staying calm during a time like that (I know some people would just totally panic...)

Good luck. I hope the baby will be a healthy one.

After having had a husband and friend in hospital (at different times) this year, I understand the desire for a lappy and wireless connection!

I was thinking that maybe if the baby was born then and there it'd be fun to put Snake's Dance as place of birth on the birth certificate

Yeah so there you have it from the daddy to be. The baby has not come yet! Her contraction's stopped and they sent them home with no explanations. And yes his listed name Kayne is what they are going to be naming the baby, tho I don't know if they also plan to use Darkstone or not o_O.

And when he called on their way home from the hospital, he asked: "Did my runners get me there?" LOL

Thanks guys and sorry for the lack of baby ;_; Hopefully when the little fella does come they wont sit there thinking its nothing till he pops out >_<!!!!

But I will update this thread when the time comes ^^

Last bump from me on this thread: They are at the hospital and she is being induced while her sugar lvls are low (gestational diabetes). And... They did indeed get a laptop, lol >_<!

I'll edit this post with further news later when I get more info >_>

And the Edit as promised:
OK so the laptop thing didn't go as planned due to contractions being a LOT worse due to the induction, tho he is on now.

Kayne Grey III (the third) was born 12:07pm - he weighed in at 7lbs 15ozs and was 21inches long!

mother, baby, and father are all doing well ^_^!

Hope that both the father and the mother can join the preview Nightfall weekend

And your guild should farm The Deep and give them a Kanaxai weapon as a present for baby
