Oh ya, we missed our window! Natural birth, less than a half hour of pushing. It came on really fast — before the attending made it in the room.
We haven’t really seen our daughter yet. They’re stitching Nic up and having a hard time clearing Abi’s airway right now and her color “isn’t right.”
They’re telling [...]

Oh my…

So after those last couple really painful contractions Nic decided she was ready for an epidural.
The nurse came in and told us that we’d have to wait… The lady next door had just asked before us.
Moments later we heard a shattering wail/scream… Then the nurse came in and informed us that the anasthesiologist had just [...]

Update

Nic’s hooked up to a round of anitbiotics which is a little less than halfway done. When its finished theyll break her water and kick things off…

If you have any happy thoughts you want to send to Nicole, please use the comments. I save them up for when she needs some extra love and then read a bunch to her, so [...]

Made it to the hospital

Got Ben to Brooke’s in less than half an hour, terrified he’d be a screaming monster and wake their little girl up, but she worked miracles and got him back to sleep. We can’t express how grateful we are to Brooke and Jason for taking him.
I drove 80 mile an hour all the way to [...]

We Think Its Time…

With all this false labor (for the last 3 weeks) its hard to know if this is real or not. But Nic thinks it is. Contractions 5-7 minutes apart and coming on strong for the last hour. Sorry about the ridiculous time of night, but we’re heading in to the hospital. Here’s hoping this is [...]

The Wayback Machine

While we all wait around for the new baby, and when I’m not distracting you with pictures of the current baby, maybe I can keep you at bay with some reminiscing on what used to be my baby.
There’s this fantastic tool online called the Wayback Machine, which has been, for over a decade, crawling the [...]
