I am currently impatiently waiting to hear if the doctors are going to say if it is time for my wife to have a c-section (her blood pressure is up and has gestational diabetes and her sugar levels have been rising). I know it is kind of generic but we are naming our girl Addison.
I was wondering what have others done to show their love of our Cubbies.

I fought like crazy for "Addison," but lost (wife is a teacher, and there are too many "Addisons" these days).
To date, the craziest thing I've done to show my fandom is quitting my day job to work full-time on a Chicago Cubs blog.

I use to hang a W flag whenever the Cubs won in my classroom and my students knew it was a good day if it was flying, and to watch out if the window was empty.

No baby today. Surprisingly all of my wife's levels were better than they have been in some time. Thursday the 17th has been the planned c-section from the start so Addison will be born then. we are a little bummed but glad that they are both doing fine.

Im late to the party...but I hope everything went well!
Craziest Cubs things I have done would be running up and down the streets of my town, screaming and brandishing a HUGE Cubs flag when the 2003 Cubs clinched the NL Central.
I have also worn a Cubs hat pretty much every day for the last 2.5 years (I also wear my old school Orioles hat a lot, which recently became a current Orioles hat....). I fly the W flag out of my dorm window when we win. The only picture on my desk is one of me, my dad, and Fergie Jenkins at spring training a few years back. I have hand painted Cubs baggo (cornhole?) boards. I have a Cubs logo sign infront of my room at my house. I also have 3 (THREE) paintings of Wrigley field framed and hanging in that room...

There is now a new cub fan named Addison. Now if we can just get a Prince of a 1st base Fielder for a baby gift it would be much appreciated.
