Posted on January 11th, 2005 by Todd W
She’s now at ten, and the pushing will begin soon. Lot’s of prep going on in the room. I think the show is about to start.

Eight!
Posted on January 11th, 2005 by Todd W
Diane is now at 8 CM. The Pitocin is certainly accelerating things now. The contractions look like little half-sine waves on the monitor, almost mathematical in thier precision. The Doctor is calling (optimistically) for 7:15. I’m guessing Thursday….

Progress
Posted on January 11th, 2005 by Todd W
Okay, things are starting to come along a little. Diane is now at 5-6 dilation, so maybe this will happen today. Contractions are steady. This has been a much better experience here, and not just because of the internet access, which is great. The hospital staff here has been more attentive, and the facilities are [...]

Happiness is an Epidural
Posted on January 11th, 2005 by Todd W
Things were moving along very quickly there, but now we’re slowing down. Diane has the epidural, and her disposition has improved markedly. She consented to a picture for her fans. Contractions are steady, and things are going well. More later.

Update #7
Posted on January 11th, 2005 by Todd W
Things have been very busy here. We are in the birthing room, and I have pictures but can’t upload them right this minute. Diane is fine. She has the epidural in place and is feeling better. As happened last time, they are concerned about the speed of the delivery. She’s going very fast. Contractions are [...]

Update #6
Posted on January 11th, 2005 by Todd W
We’re about to be moved to the Birthing room after filling out a mountain of forms. Once we get there, I’ll be able to unpack and get some more pictures, much to my wife’s dismay. Gotta document things properly. Contractions are starting now, and she’s certainly feeling them. Epidural as a topic has been mentioned [...]

Update #5
Posted on January 11th, 2005 by Todd W
Just got done taking Diane for an hour walk around the hospital, to move things along. The Doctor is here now to check her, and low and behold, she just broke her water. She’s dilated to three. Things are starting to move along.

Update #4
Posted on January 11th, 2005 by Todd W
Diane isn’t too thrilled with the whole BirthBlogging, at least the photography elements. I had to replace the picture below, so here it is. Not much to report. She’s watching a DVD, I’m geeking out on the net. They may move us to the birthing room in a few hours. Until then, we wait on [...]

We have an IV
Posted on January 11th, 2005 by Todd W
In what might be one of the most mundane posts of the day…Diane now has an IV. It’s been really slow going here, and I personally am happy for the net access. They have a plethora of C Sections going on today, so we’re lower priority at the moment. But blood has been drawn. I [...]

Update #2
Posted on January 11th, 2005 by Todd W
It’s a little slow here. I thought I’d fire off some pictures and share. We’re in a room with four other patients at the moment, waiting to be moved to the private room. I’m glad I don’t have the problems of some of our immediate neighbors! Here’s to a healthy baby and a routine delivery. [...]

Update #1
Posted on January 11th, 2005 by Todd W
We’re at the hospital and I’m sitting bedside right now. Diane is doing well, mostly because nothing has happened yet. Nice place. I’ve already walked down to the cafe and got a mocha espresso…not quite Starbucks, but it’ll do. We’re in Triage, where they wire her up and admit her while figuring out what priority [...]

Nothing like late news on a Friday. We found out today that we are expecting another baby sometime in February. As you can imagine, we are excited.
