I know that the timing of the birth can be inconvenient, but could your neighbor go to your son's race today while you stay with your mom-to-be? I always tell my grandchildren that a puppy birth is life and death, and that being late to school or missing an activity is just one thing in a whole lifetime of things for them. When Ruby had her puppies, Olivia had to stay home until noon because I felt that it would have been wrong and unnecessary for me to leave Ruby during her birth.
I'm not trying to be judgmental, just wanted to offer you another perspective on this. Best wishes to both of you.
