Outside the NBA Bubble: Mary Conley on Waiting for the Birth of Baby No. 3 With Husband Mike Conley Away
, would have at least brought a nice candle or a framed photograph on her travels to make her hotel room more homey, Mike...
He "understands it a little bit more, so it's much more enjoyable to watch the game with him," Mary said. "Both [he and Noah] get really excited and they know it's the white team or the blue team [depending on if the Jazz are wearing home or away uniforms] and who we want to score and things like that, so it's just fun to see.
"I definitely can't run but we went on a walk this morning," she said. "It just clears my head and makes me feel good. I know it's good for the baby, it's good for my body, and can hopefully make me have a better delivery as well. I know that's something that I focus on a lot, because [giving birth] takes a lot of strength.
She's also been able to hear more about the perception some people have about so-called basketball wives, the presumption being that they live privileged, pampered lives thanks to their husbands' huge contracts, the end. "She's easy to call and is incredible, so she'll be around a lot," Mary said of her sister. "She's a teacher right now, so her job is up in the air. If they're starting, when they're starting, how they're starting—so around the due date she should be around, but also she's on call. She came over at four in the morning during my last pregnancy to come be with Myles while we went to the hospital. We have a regular sitter who started back up in August.
Mary told E! that the idea was to call him as soon as she felt the first signs of labor coming on, and he'd rush to the airport. "I'm not keen on the idea of scheduling an induction or C-section," she explained. "I just prefer to let my body naturally do what it's ready to do, which makes things a little tricky because they don't have the time, as opposed to if I scheduled something.
Ultimately Mike only ended up spending about 24 hours in Ohio in order to get back to Orlando to make sure he was ready to suit up for at least some first-round playoff games, factoring in four days of quarantine. Mary said it was actually easier taking him to the airport this time than it was when he first left, "because I knew everything was okay, the baby was here and perfect, and everyone was doing well.
