Yep, I know exactly what you mean. Wasn't it just the longest two weeks EVER?? LOL
My mother and dad had come by train early to do a bit of sightseeing before the big event..I was watched like an an egg ready to hatch. My dad had a business to tend to and flew home the day after my son was born(first flight)..I asked him later why he stuck it out..He said he wanted to be there in case something went wrong..I said that was a terrible thought!
He was born in 1890..and through the years had seen things go wrong much more than they do now..
It seemed more like 6 weeks than 2 weeks to me.. My daughter came 10 days early...One never knows.
