„Ugh, doodt me nu,“ hij zegt. I couldn’t agree more.

9:01- Mike Green singlehandedly stopped the light contractions I was having.

9:10- Mike Green again! We may have to consider naming this baby Michaela.

9:28- I spoke too soon; we may also need to consider the name Alexandra.

9:33- This last minute is going to kill me. Contractions starting again.

9:34- WHEW. Time for a celebratory bowl of ice cream (no pickles, though).

If every game is like this one, I think the baby is coming early.

    Just found this site and it’s rather funny. My wife is 6 months pregnant and is just starting to understand why I am like I am during the NHL playoffs, especially when my Caps are in contention. She actually went to sleep when the Flyers were up 4-2, I woke her up with my 3 outbursts and she couldn’t believe they came back. And I quote “I’m actually starting to get into this hockey thing” My response…:)

    So you’ll be in the delivery room, the doctor will be trying to put the mask over your face, and you’ll be pushing him out of the way: “Not until the end of the game!” :-)

  4. Whenever I see the Bruno Cipriani ad these days, I think of Joey’s tailor on Friends.

    “That’s how they measure pants…in PRISON!”

    I love “Gordette!”

    When my sister was pregnant with her first (during the ‘98 playoff run, in fact) I was lobbying for the name Gordon. She mentioned to a fried “Nic wants to name the baby Gordon because it’s a good hockey name.”

    Friend said “You’re going to let your son play hockey?!”

    Without missing a beat, my sister said “If she can skate, I’m letting my daughter play hockey!”

    “Wendel” has a nice ring to it, if you ask me - and a gazillion Leaf fans. I’m just sayin’.

  10. I think I still have the teeny little Caps jersey that Nic gave me for my baby shower in ‘98. I had it draped across my belly whenever I was on the couch watching the games, since the fetus hadn’t learned to cheer yet.

    Well, at least watching the game at home means not having to wait in line for the bathroom. Although I found that a well placed grimace while holding my stomach would get me to the front of the line veeeery quickly.

  11. LMAO! So true re: the well-placed grimace :-)
