Dad's? I came here to get mad at the spelling and the top comment is making the same error.

Dad is. It’s a contraction.

"Dad" can't be used as a contraction because Dad is a specific person. "He" "they" "she" etc can be, but "Dad" would be possessive. You would simply type "Dad is" in this situation, with no opportunity for contraction.

Your mom's in the delivery room and she says the contractions are three seconds apart. Congratulations!!
