Progress
Well, it is 8:23. The doc came in and broke the water...Deb is on Pitocin (to augment contractions) she is chatting it up with Diane our nurse about Obed's name. Grandma and Alicia are here and everyone else is in the waiting room. We are listening to the soothing sounds of Obed's heartbeat. Now Deborah is texting and we are discussing the fact that a state regulatory agency is in the hospital which will make it difficult to loiter in the hallway when Obed is born. Oh well. We'll find a way to break the rules I'm sure. More soon...

From wikipedia:
One origin story of "mind your Ps and Qs" comes from English pubs and taverns of the seventeenth century. Bartenders would keep a watch on the alcohol consumption of the patrons; keeping an eye on the pints and quarts that were consumed. As a reminder to the patrons, the bartender would recommend they "mind their Ps and Qs."
A second origin story comes from early printing presses. Printers placed individual letters on a typeset to print a page of text. The letters were reversed, making it easy to mistake Ps and Qs in setting the type. A reminder to stay watchful of the details.
