The next person that comes to my desk and makes some snarky comment about the baby not being here is getting caned in the kneecap.
I'm sorry that the baby hasn't gotten here yet. I remember that feeling of uncomfortableness and misery and my baby was born 3 days before her due date.
Just do whatever your wife wants. Whether she wants you to stand there while she pelts you with oranges, or she wants you to rub her feet or rub her back, or if she wants to go for a walk and you need to hold her hand, or if she wants you to just get the hell out of her face because she's ready to smack you. It's all par for the course.
I read somewhere that the days just prior to hard labor are supposed to be the most miserable so that way the mother can just get over her fear of labor and get it over and done with as soon as possible with the least amount of fuss. It's crap, but I read it somewhere.
