Transcript
We're going to the hospital right now. It is happening. I'm kinda shitting my pants right now. Can you stop driving like an old lady? I'm not driving like an old lady. I'm definitely not ready for this kid to come out, but then again, I'll probably never be ready. Kayla was feeling pretty uncomfortable all night, so we took her into the hospital. Better let me tell you, these chairs aren't very comfortable either. So what are you making for dinner tonight? After they ran some tests, we found out the baby was fine, but that thing's gotta cook for a few more weeks. Pray for me, please. Awesome.
